Those narrow Victorian frontages in Streatham deserve more than tired paving and overgrown hedges. Whether you're working with a compact terrace plot or blessed with one of those generous Edwardian front gardens near the Common, there's real potential waiting.

Front gardens in SW16 face unique challenges – from sloping driveways that flood every winter to those awkward spaces where bins meet boundary walls. Years of experience tackling Streatham's clay soil and unpredictable drainage have taught us exactly what works here. Every street from Leigham Court Road to Greyhound Lane has its own character, and your front garden should reflect that.
Smart design solves practical problems while creating kerb appeal. Permeable surfaces handle our notorious downpours, letting water drain naturally rather than pooling at your front door. Low-maintenance planting schemes thrive despite pollution from the South Circular, while clever lighting transforms even the smallest space after dark. Materials get chosen specifically for longevity – because nobody wants to relay their drive every five years.
Local knowledge matters when you're digging up Streatham clay or working around century-old drainage. Twenty years transforming front gardens across SW2 means understanding exactly which plants survive our microclimate and how to level those tricky slopes common to hillside properties.

Most front garden transformations in SW16 range between £3,500 and £12,000, depending on size and complexity. A simple Victorian terrace frontage might need £4,000-£6,000, while larger Edwardian properties with driveways often require £8,000-£15,000 for complete landscaping.
Absolutely – from the bustling High Road to quieter streets near Tooting Bec Common. Regular projects span SW16 and SW2, including Streatham Hill, Streatham Common, and neighbouring Furzedown.
Smaller terrace fronts typically take 5-7 working days from start to finish. Larger projects with driveways, walls, and planting might need 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
