If your outdoor space feels cramped or awkward, our Small Garden Design & Build in Addiscombe turns it into a practical, good-looking extension of your home. We design around real life: bins, bikes, entertaining and low-fuss planting. Many clients are close to Addiscombe tram stop or enjoy weekend walks at Ashburton Park, so we plan gardens that suit busy schedules. Expect smart layouts, clean detailing and planting that thrives in CR0 conditions.
Addiscombe has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with narrow side access and compact rear plots. We’re used to working with long, thin gardens, shaded corners and overlooked boundaries, balancing privacy with light. Whether you’re near East Croydon or over towards Shirley, we tailor levels, materials and planting to the property’s proportions. The result is a garden that feels settled, not squeezed in.
Our process starts with a measured survey, concept options and a clear build plan, then careful installation by our in-house team. We focus on multi-function areas, built-in storage, container planting, mirrors and layered lighting to maximise usable space. You’ll get straightforward timelines, tidy working practices and aftercare guidance for low maintenance. Local homeowners choose us because we communicate well and deliver finishes that stand up to year-round use.
We plan builds around typical Addiscombe access constraints, including narrow passages and shared boundaries. In the London Borough of Croydon, we also consider drainage, levels and where lighting cables can be routed neatly. Parking and deliveries can be tight near tram routes, so we schedule materials to minimise disruption. Our designs suit CR0 property styles, from terrace courtyards to 1930s semi patios.

Costs vary with size, access and specification, but most small garden projects in Addiscombe fall between £4,000–£15,000. A simple refresh with paving repairs, containers and lighting may start around £3,000–£6,000, while a full redesign with new paving, raised beds, built-in storage and fencing is often £8,000–£20,000. We provide a detailed itemised quote after survey and design.
Typical build time is 1–3 weeks once the design is agreed, depending on complexity. A compact patio, planting and lighting can be completed in about a week, while projects with drainage, walls, levels or bespoke joinery often take 2–4 weeks. Lead times for materials, access through the house, and weather can affect scheduling. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as paving, planting, fencing (within height limits) and low-level lighting. Permission may be needed for taller boundary structures, significant level changes, or if your property is listed or in a restricted area. Drainage rules can also apply, especially for non-permeable paving. We flag any likely issues early and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Croydon.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, retaining structures and built features, when used and maintained as advised. Products and materials (for example lighting fittings or composite boards) are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also give clear aftercare guidance to help planting establish and keep the garden looking its best.
Popular options include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, warm sandstone for character, and composite or hardwood seating for multi-function areas. We often use vertical planting, slimline raised beds, container planting and mirrors to boost depth and greenery. Lighting can be subtle (step lights, uplighters) or practical (task lighting near storage). We’ll recommend a palette that suits your home’s style and how you use the space.
