Carshalton's mix of period properties and newer developments each present unique landscaping opportunities. Many local gardens struggle with heavy clay deposits from the River Wandle valley, while others benefit from the chalk downland soil towards Wallington. Understanding these local conditions shapes every design decision, from drainage solutions to plant selection that thrives year-round.
Smart landscaping begins with assessing your plot's natural characteristics. North-facing gardens near Sutton require shade-tolerant planting schemes, whilst south-facing spaces can accommodate Mediterranean-style designs. Proper ground preparation prevents future settling issues, particularly important given the area's varying soil types. Installing adequate drainage systems protects both new landscaping and existing structures from water damage.
