Back gardens in this corner of South London tell stories – from overgrown patches behind Edwardian semis to tired lawns squeezed between railway embankments. Local knowledge matters when you're working with Norbury's quirky plot shapes and that stubborn London clay. Years spent transforming gardens from Streatham Common down to the CR7 borders means understanding exactly what thrives here.
Smart design starts with drainage solutions that actually work in heavy rainfall. Retaining walls handle those characteristic slopes while maximising usable space. Native planting schemes blend seamlessly with established trees, creating privacy without blocking precious light. Each element gets positioned to complement your home's period features whilst delivering modern functionality.
Neighbours along Norbury Avenue regularly stop to admire completed projects. Trust builds through transparent pricing and realistic timelines – no surprise costs when we hit that inevitable concrete slab buried beneath old turf.

Complete transformations typically range £8,000-£25,000, depending on garden size and complexity. Smaller Victorian plots might need £8,000-£12,000, while larger Edwardian gardens with extensive hardscaping could reach £20,000+.
Absolutely – from the conservation areas near Norbury station right through to Pollards Hill. Regular projects span both SW16 postcodes and the CR7 sections bordering Thornton Heath.
Most back gardens require 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Larger schemes involving level changes or extensive paving might extend to 5-6 weeks, especially during wet seasons.
All structural elements – patios, walls, paths – carry a decade-long guarantee against defects. Plants get a full year's replacement warranty, giving them time to establish in Norbury's specific conditions.
Definitely – we're used to wheelbarrowing everything through narrow Victorian side returns. Mini diggers that fit through standard gates handle excavation efficiently without damaging your property.
