Victorian terraces along Northcote Road deserve flower beds that complement their period charm, whilst the newer builds near Clapham Common benefit from contemporary planting schemes. Creating that perfect balance between seasonal colour and year-round structure requires understanding both your soil and the unique microclimate found between Clapham's busy streets. Whether you're dealing with heavy London clay or the sandy patches common near Battersea Rise, the right plant selection makes all the difference.
Soil preparation involves more than just turning earth - particularly in areas where Victorian foundations have left rubble deposits beneath the surface. Double-digging releases compaction whilst incorporating organic matter transforms even the most challenging ground into fertile growing medium. Strategic placement of perennials creates backbone structure, with annuals providing seasonal highlights that change throughout the year. Proper edging prevents grass encroachment whilst defining clean lines that enhance your property's kerb appeal.
Twenty years working Clapham's gardens means knowing which suppliers stock the healthiest specimens and understanding exactly what thrives in the shadow of plane trees. Local knowledge matters when selecting plants that cope with urban pollution whilst still delivering spectacular displays.
