That narrow strip between your front door and the pavement deserves better than tired paving and straggly shrubs. Colliers Wood's mix of period properties and newer developments each need their own approach to front garden design.

Victorian terraces along Christchurch Road face different challenges to the modern developments near Tandem Centre. Small frontages require clever design thinking – perhaps vertical planting to maximise space, or permeable surfaces to meet drainage regulations. Many SW19 homeowners discover their front gardens hold more potential than they realised.
Creating an inviting entrance involves balancing practicality with aesthetics. Hard landscaping forms the backbone: paths that guide visitors naturally, driveways that handle daily use without cracking. Soft elements then bring life – drought-tolerant plants that thrive despite road pollution, lighting that highlights architectural features after dark. Each element works together, transforming neglected spaces into welcoming approaches.
