That patch of tired grass between your front door and the pavement deserves better. Whether you're tackling a narrow Victorian terrace frontage or wrestling with the sloped driveways common around Mitcham Common, thoughtful landscaping transforms first impressions.
Response within 24 hours
Mitcham's diverse housing stock presents unique opportunities for front garden design. From the compact plots near Figges Marsh station to the more generous frontages towards Colliers Wood, each property demands its own approach. Local clay soil and varying sun exposure mean plant selection requires genuine neighbourhood knowledge. Many residents struggle with the balance between parking needs and aesthetic appeal, particularly where original front walls have been removed.
Creating functional beauty starts with understanding drainage patterns specific to South London's geology. Hard landscaping must accommodate both the frequent rain and occasional dry spells that characterise CR4's microclimate. Low-maintenance planting schemes incorporate species that thrive despite pollution from nearby traffic corridors. Strategic use of permeable surfaces addresses council requirements whilst maintaining visual coherence with neighbouring properties.
Twenty years working across Mitcham has taught us which suppliers stock materials that complement local architecture. Long-standing relationships with nurseries mean access to mature specimens that establish quickly in challenging urban conditions.

Most Mitcham properties need 3-5 days for complete transformation, though simpler refreshes finish within two days. Larger Victorian frontages occasionally stretch to a full week.
