Behind the busy streets connecting Tooting Bec to Tooting Broadway lies a patchwork of back gardens crying out for attention. Many homeowners inherit decades-old layouts that simply don't work for modern living. Sloping plots, waterlogged corners where old Anderson shelters once stood, and that peculiar London clay soil all present unique challenges. Yet these same gardens hold incredible potential when approached with local knowledge and creative vision.
Successful back garden landscaping in this part of South London demands understanding the quirks of each property type. Edwardian semis near Furzedown often feature surprisingly generous plots perfect for zoning into distinct areas. Meanwhile, conversion flats throughout SW17 might share communal spaces requiring diplomatic design solutions. Smart drainage systems combat our heavy clay, whilst carefully selected planting thrives despite pollution from nearby main roads. Contemporary materials like composite decking and porcelain paving offer durability without the maintenance headaches of traditional options.
Twenty years of transforming Tooting gardens has taught us which solutions actually last in this neighbourhood. Local suppliers mean materials arrive quickly, whilst established relationships with SW17 builders ensure any structural work proceeds smoothly.
