Back gardens in Mitcham tell a thousand stories - from the compact courtyards behind Figges Marsh terraces to the surprising depths of plots near Colliers Wood. Local soil conditions vary dramatically, with London clay presenting particular challenges for drainage and planting. Understanding these quirks makes all the difference between a garden that struggles and one that thrives year-round.
Smart landscaping starts with assessing your garden's natural advantages. South-facing plots near Mitcham Common often catch more sun than expected, perfect for Mediterranean-style planting schemes. Meanwhile, those shadier spaces typical of tightly-packed SW16 streets benefit from clever hardscaping and shade-tolerant plants. Proper groundwork, including drainage solutions for our notorious clay soil, ensures your investment lasts decades rather than seasons.
