Brixton's diverse housing stock presents unique opportunities for creative garden design. Those narrow Victorian plots behind the terraced houses off Coldharbour Lane? They're crying out for vertical planting and clever zoning. Meanwhile, the larger gardens around Brixton Hill accommodate everything from outdoor kitchens to wildlife havens, each reflecting the area's vibrant character.
Successful back garden landscaping hinges on understanding soil conditions and aspect. Many properties near Brockwell Park sit on London clay, requiring proper drainage solutions before any hardscaping begins. Installing permeable paving prevents waterlogging whilst complementing your planting scheme. Strategic positioning of raised beds, particularly in north-facing gardens common around Tulse Hill, maximises growing potential throughout the seasons.
Having transformed gardens across Brixton for fifteen years, local knowledge proves invaluable. Understanding which materials weather best in SW2's microclimate, knowing reliable suppliers in Herne Hill, and maintaining relationships with neighbouring properties during works - these details matter.
