Sanderstead's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring unique landscaping opportunities. Victorian villas with their generous plots allow for sweeping lawns and mature planting schemes, while the compact gardens near Hamsey Green benefit from clever zoning and vertical elements. Years of working across CR2 have taught us that every back garden tells its own story – from the clay-heavy soil near Purley Oaks to the chalk deposits closer to the downs.
Proper groundwork makes the difference between a garden that thrives and one that struggles. Drainage proves crucial here, particularly for properties below Sanderstead Hill where water naturally collects. Contemporary landscaping techniques blend hard elements – perhaps Indian sandstone or composite decking – with soft planting that complements local conditions. Strategic positioning of retaining walls can transform awkward slopes into usable terraces, maximising every square metre.
Local knowledge counts when you're dealing with Sanderstead's varied terrain and microclimates. Having landscaped gardens from Limpsfield Road through to South Croydon's borders, we understand which materials weather best in this corner of Surrey.
