The South Croydon area includes Victorian villas, 1930s semis and large detached houses, each with different access and garden proportions. We regularly work across Sanderstead, Purley and Croydon, tailoring seating areas to existing architecture and planting. Built-in benches can maximise space on narrower side returns, while larger gardens suit multi-zone dining and lounging. Our designs balance privacy, sunlight and practical circulation from the house to the garden.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear concept plan, then refine materials, lighting and finishes to match your budget. Groundworks are carried out properly—stable sub-bases, correct falls for drainage and tidy edging details—so the area stays level and safe. You’ll get a written scope of works, a realistic programme and respectful on-site behaviour. Local homeowners choose us for dependable communication, premium workmanship and long-lasting results.

Costs vary by size, levels, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a small paved patio seating area might start around £2,500–£5,000. Mid-sized outdoor seating areas with built-in benches and lighting are often £6,000–£12,000. Larger schemes with pergola seating, premium paving and a fire pit area can range from £12,000–£25,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are on site. A straightforward patio with a simple seating layout may be completed in under a week, while built-in benches, pergolas, lighting and a fire pit area typically extend the programme. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage requirements, curing time for concrete, and access for machinery and deliveries in CR2.
In many cases, garden seating areas such as patios, pergolas and low built-in benches are permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, adding tall structures, or working close to boundaries. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can advise on whether you should check with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for outdoor seating area installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor laying, or faulty construction of built-in elements. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like paving, lighting fittings and pergola systems. We also give clear aftercare guidance, so your patio and seating features stay looking sharp year after year.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, sandstone for a softer traditional look, and composite decking for warm tones underfoot. Built-in benches can be rendered, timber-clad or finished in brick to match the house, while pergolas and shade structures can be timber or aluminium. We can add dining spaces, sun loungers, fire pit areas and layered lighting, then help you choose finishes that suit your property and lifestyle.
