Biggin Hill's elevated position brings both advantages and challenges for garden design. The sloping terrain that characterises much of TN16 creates natural opportunities for terraced planting, water features, and dramatic level changes. Many homeowners here inherit gardens that haven't been properly addressed since the houses were built in the 60s and 70s – tired lawns, overgrown borders, and that inevitable concrete patio that's seen better days.
Modern landscaping techniques can tackle the heavy clay soil that plagues gardens from Keston through to Westerham. Strategic drainage solutions prevent the winter waterlogging that turns lawns into muddy disasters. Selecting plants that thrive in our specific microclimate – slightly cooler than central London but prone to those sharp winds off the North Downs – ensures year-round interest without constant maintenance battles. Smart hardscaping choices, like permeable paving and properly constructed retaining walls, work with the natural topography rather than fighting against it.
Living in Biggin Hill for over two decades gives you insights that newcomers simply miss. Understanding which materials weather best in our particular conditions, knowing reliable local suppliers who deliver to Tatsfield and beyond – these details matter when you're investing in your garden's future.

Most Biggin Hill gardens require 3-6 weeks from breaking ground to final planting, though complex level changes or extensive stonework can extend this. Weather plays its part too – those famous hilltop mists can slow progress.
