Those narrow Victorian gardens in Putney deserve better than patchy grass and tired borders. Creating outdoor spaces that actually work for SW15 living means understanding exactly how local families use their gardens.

Putney's mix of period properties and newer builds presents unique landscaping challenges. Whether you're dealing with the sloped gardens common near Putney Heath or the compact spaces typical of properties closer to the High Street, thoughtful design makes all the difference. Victorian terraces often hide surprising potential behind their modest facades, whilst the larger plots around Roehampton offer scope for truly ambitious projects.
Garden transformation begins with understanding your soil conditions and existing drainage patterns. The clay-heavy ground throughout SW15 requires specific preparation techniques, particularly for properties backing onto the old flood plains near the Thames. Installing proper drainage systems prevents waterlogging issues that plague many local gardens. Smart material choices and strategic planting ensure year-round visual interest whilst minimising maintenance demands.
Twenty years of working across Putney means knowing which suppliers deliver quality materials on time to SW15 addresses. Local knowledge matters when navigating access restrictions and understanding neighbourhood considerations during major landscaping works.
