Sevenoaks gardens face unique challenges – heavy clay soil near the Darent Valley, chalk deposits around Otford, and those awkward slopes typical of North Downs properties. Creating flower beds here requires understanding these local conditions. Whether you're battling waterlogged patches in Dunton Green or working with the free-draining soil near Seal, the right approach makes all the difference.
Proper bed construction starts beneath the surface. Deep cultivation breaks up compacted earth, while organic matter improves drainage where needed. Plant selection considers aspect, neighbouring trees (those mature oaks cast considerable shade), and maintenance requirements. Mulching protects against our increasingly unpredictable weather patterns whilst suppressing weeds that would otherwise overwhelm new plantings.
Twenty years cultivating Sevenoaks gardens brings invaluable local knowledge. Regular clients from Riverhead to West Kingsdown appreciate this experience – understanding which varieties thrive despite late frosts, knowing reliable local suppliers, recognising soil variations street by street.

Absolutely – many Sevenoaks properties have overgrown laurel or privet taking valuable space. Selective removal, soil rejuvenation, and thoughtful replanting transforms tired borders. Some shrubs worth keeping provide structure amongst perennials and seasonal colour.
