Balham's mix of period properties and modern developments each present unique gardening opportunities. Those narrow side returns typical of SW12's terraced houses become magical pathways when bordered with thoughtfully planted beds. Meanwhile, the larger gardens stretching towards Streatham Hill offer scope for dramatic seasonal displays that evolve throughout the year.
Creating successful flower beds involves understanding soil conditions, which vary considerably across this part of South London. Heavy clay near Clapham South requires different treatment than the sandy patches found closer to the common. Plant selection considers not just aesthetics but also which species thrive in partial shade from neighbouring buildings or cope with the occasional flooding that affects lower-lying areas after heavy rain.
Years spent working in SW12 means knowing which plants survive the urban microclimate and which combinations truly flourish. Every bed gets tailored to its specific location, from sun-baked front gardens to shaded corners that never quite dry out.

Most SW12 properties spend between £800-£2,500 depending on bed size and plant maturity. Smaller front garden schemes start around £500, while complete garden transformations can reach £4,000.
Absolutely - from the bustling high street to the quieter residential roads near Wandsworth Common, plus neighbouring areas including Clapham South and Streatham Hill.
Simple bed creation takes 1-2 days, though larger schemes might need a week. Spring and autumn bookings fill quickly as these are prime planting seasons.
All structural work carries a 10-year guarantee covering bed edging and soil preparation. Plants themselves are guaranteed for their first growing season with proper care.
Definitely - raised beds maximise growing space in compact areas while vertical planting against walls creates impact without sacrificing precious ground space. Container gardens also integrate beautifully with permanent beds.
