We carry out lawn installation, border planting, hedging and mulching for homeowners around Addiscombe tram stop and Ashburton Park.

Addiscombe has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, often with narrow side access and long rear gardens. That’s where local soft landscaping experience matters: we plan deliveries, manage spoil, and keep pathways protected. Many gardens also have tired lawns, compacted soil and shaded borders from mature trees. We design and install with those realities in mind, not idealised brochure gardens.
We start with a site visit to assess light, drainage, soil condition and how you use the garden. Then we propose planting, lawn and irrigation options, along with topsoil and mulch specifications for long-term performance. Installations are scheduled clearly, kept tidy, and finished with thorough aftercare guidance. Fine Landscaping is based just 10 minutes away, so clients value our fast follow-ups and consistent standards.
Gardens across the London Borough of Croydon often have mixed ground conditions, from compacted clay to made-up soils from past works. In the soft landscaping Addiscombe area, access can be tight around terraces, so we plan barrow routes, protect paving, and keep waste removal efficient. We also consider parking and delivery timing near CR0 streets and tram routes. Planting choices are adjusted for wind exposure and shade from neighbouring buildings and mature trees.

Costs vary with garden size, access, and the amount of soil improvement needed. As a guide in CR0, lawn installation typically ranges from £35–£80 per m² depending on turf type and preparation. Border planting (plants, compost/topsoil and labour) often starts around £600–£2,500 for small to medium schemes. Hedging and tree planting can add £250–£1,500+ depending on species, height and quantities.
Most soft landscaping projects in Addiscombe take 1–3 days for smaller gardens, and 4–10 days for larger gardens with extensive soil works, planting and irrigation. Lawn installation can often be completed in a day once the base is prepared. Timescales depend on access, waste removal, weather, and whether we’re importing topsoil or carrying out significant levelling. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Most soft landscaping work—such as lawns, planting, mulching, and irrigation—doesn’t require planning permission. However, there can be rules around protected trees, conservation considerations, and works near boundaries. If a tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order or sits within a protected area, consent may be needed before pruning or removal. We’ll flag potential issues early and help you check Croydon Council requirements where relevant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation standards where applicable, giving you confidence that the job has been built properly. This covers issues linked to our installation methods, such as poor preparation or incorrect fixing, subject to normal use and agreed maintenance. Living materials like plants and turf can be affected by weather and watering, so we provide clear aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance support to maximise establishment.
We can create anything from crisp, modern planting with structured shrubs to softer cottage-style borders with long flowering seasons. Popular options include premium turf or hard-wearing family lawns, evergreen hedging for privacy, specimen trees for height, and layered shrub planting for year-round interest. We also supply screened topsoil and a choice of mulches (bark, composted mulch) to suit your planting. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, soil, and how much upkeep you want.
