If your garden needs structure, softness and seasonal interest, our soft landscaping team can transform it quickly and cleanly. We work across CR2, including projects near South Croydon station and around Sanderstead. Expect crisp lawn installation, well-composed border planting and planting plans that suit how you actually use the space. The result is a garden that looks cared-for, not overdone.
South Croydon’s leafy streets include large detached houses, 1930s semis and Victorian villas, each with different proportions and light levels. We tailor tree planting, shrub planting and hedging to match mature surroundings while keeping maintenance realistic. Side access and existing patios often dictate how materials are brought in, so we plan logistics early. For family gardens near Lloyd Park and school routes, we also prioritise safe, robust planting choices.
We start with a site visit to assess soil condition, drainage, shade and existing planting, then propose a clear scope and planting schedule. Ground preparation is never skipped: topsoil improvement, levelling and mulching are built into the plan for better establishment. Our team installs irrigation where needed and leaves the site neat at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often vary from free-draining slopes to heavier, compacted soils, so we adjust topsoil blends and planting choices accordingly. Around Purley, Selsdon and Croydon, access can be tight and parking controlled, so deliveries and waste removal are scheduled to minimise disruption. We also factor in nearby trees and hedgerows, which can affect shade and moisture levels. The aim is planting that thrives, not just looks good on day one.

Costs depend on size, access and the level of groundwork required. As a guide, lawn installation (turf) often starts from £18–£35 per m² supplied and laid, while premium topsoil and levelling can add £8–£20 per m². Border planting varies widely, typically £250–£1,500+ per bed depending on plant size and density. Irrigation systems commonly range from £900–£3,500+ for typical gardens.
Most soft landscaping projects in the soft landscaping south croydon area take 1–5 days, depending on garden size and the amount of preparation needed. A simple turf replacement may be completed in 1–2 days, while multiple borders, hedging and tree planting can take a week or more. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, weather, and whether irrigation or significant soil improvement is included. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Soft landscaping in London Borough of Croydon is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for planting, turfing and mulching. However, there can be restrictions if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re working near protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders). Some works may also need consideration if levels are being altered significantly. We flag likely issues early and can help you check requirements with the council where needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements where applicable, covering issues caused by installation faults rather than normal wear. For planting, we focus on correct preparation, species selection and aftercare guidance to maximise establishment, but living plants are affected by weather and maintenance. If a plant fails due to a clear installation issue, we’ll put it right. We’ll also advise on watering, mulching and pruning schedules.
We offer a wide range of options, from hard-wearing family lawns (turf or seed) to layered borders with evergreen structure and long-season colour. Popular choices include pleached or multi-stem trees, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, and formal hedging for privacy. We can supply screened topsoil, compost blends and decorative mulches to suit your planting plan. Irrigation can be simple dripline for beds or a zoned system for lawns and borders. We help you choose based on light, soil and maintenance preferences.
