Those narrow Victorian frontages in Clapham deserve more than tired paving and overgrown hedges. Whether you're working with a compact SW4 terrace plot or lucky enough to have space for parking in SW11, thoughtful design makes all the difference.

Clapham's residential streets present unique landscaping opportunities. From the grand period properties near the Common to converted flats along Clapham High Street, each front garden tells its own story. Local planning considerations, mature street trees, and those characteristic black-and-white tessellated paths all influence what's possible – and what works brilliantly.
Smart front garden design balances practicality with aesthetics. Permeable surfaces handle London's sudden downpours whilst meeting council requirements. Low-maintenance planting schemes thrive despite pollution from nearby South Circular traffic. Integrated bin storage solutions keep wheelie bins discrete, while subtle lighting highlights architectural features after dark.
Twenty years working across South London means understanding Lambeth's planning quirks and knowing which materials weather best in SW4's microclimate. Strong relationships with local suppliers ensure quality materials arrive promptly, minimising disruption to neighbours.

Most SW4 Victorian frontages (typically 12-20m²) require £3,500-£7,000 for comprehensive redesign including new paving, planting, boundaries and any necessary drainage work. Larger SW11 properties with driveways often range £8,000-£15,000.
Absolutely – from Clapham Old Town's conservation area requirements to modern developments near Stockwell, including all of SW4, SW11, and neighbouring Battersea streets.
Compact terrace fronts typically transform within 5-7 working days. Properties requiring driveway reconstruction or extensive groundwork generally need 2-3 weeks from start to finish.
Every element carries decade-long protection – paving against settlement, planting establishment support, and drainage functionality all covered for ten years from completion.
Certainly – many Clapham homeowners now request EV charging integration. Cables route discretely beneath new paving, with charging units positioned for convenient access whilst maintaining visual appeal.
