Those narrow strips behind Clapham's terraced houses might seem limiting at first glance. Yet with clever design thinking, even the most challenging spaces become private sanctuaries. Local soil conditions vary dramatically between properties near the Common and those closer to Stockwell, requiring tailored approaches for each garden.
Proper drainage remains crucial given Southwest London's clay-heavy ground. Installing appropriate soakaway systems prevents waterlogging while preserving established root networks. Modern materials like composite decking and porcelain paving offer durability without sacrificing the aesthetic charm expected in conservation areas. Raised planters maximise growing space whilst creating distinct zones for dining and relaxation.
Twenty years transforming Clapham gardens means understanding which plants thrive despite pollution from nearby roads. Long-standing relationships with SW4 and SW11 residents have built trust through consistent results.
