Those sloping Epsom gardens backing onto the Downs needn't remain wilderness. Whether you're battling chalk soil near Langley Vale or wrestling with waterlogged clay patches, there's always potential for something spectacular.

Victorian properties around the High Street often hide surprisingly deep plots behind modest frontages. Modern developments near Horton Country Park bring different challenges - compact spaces demanding clever design. Twenty years of transforming KT17 gardens has taught us that every chalk ridge and clay pocket tells its own story.
Proper drainage comes first when dealing with Epsom's notorious winter waterlogging. Next, we'll assess soil quality - adding organic matter where chalk dominates, breaking up clay where needed. Design follows function here: raised beds for better drainage, retaining walls for slopes, hardy perennials that actually survive our unpredictable Surrey weather. Materials get chosen based on what works locally, not what looks good in magazines.
Local knowledge matters when your spade hits chalk six inches down. Understanding which plants flourish despite late spring frosts saves homeowners years of trial and error.

Medium-sized gardens (common in KT18's residential streets) usually range £8,000-£15,000 for comprehensive redesigns. Smaller courtyard spaces might start around £4,000, while those generous plots near Epsom Common can reach £25,000+ depending on features.
Absolutely - from the racecourse end of KT18 right through to KT19's leafy streets near Ashtead. KT17 forms our core area, including Stoneleigh and the Worcester Park borders.
Most Epsom gardens take 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Larger projects with extensive groundwork or bespoke features might stretch to 6 weeks, especially if we're navigating tricky access through Victorian terraces.
All structural elements - patios, walls, paths - carry our decade-long guarantee. Plants get a full year's replacement warranty, recognising that Epsom's unique microclimate can throw surprises even at established specimens.
Preservation orders protect many established trees here, particularly in conservation areas. We design around existing specimens, managing root zones carefully and selecting shade-tolerant underplanting that complements rather than competes.
