Those narrow Victorian front gardens in Tooting deserve better than tired paving and overgrown hedges. Whether you're dealing with a compact terrace frontage or lucky enough to have space for off-street parking, the right design transforms your home's first impression.

SW17's housing mix throws up unique challenges - from sloping plots near Tooting Bec Common to the tightly-packed terraces around Broadway. Front gardens here battle everything from heavy foot traffic to limited sunlight between closely-spaced properties. Smart landscaping works with these constraints, not against them, creating practical spaces that genuinely enhance daily life.
Material selection makes all the difference in high-traffic areas. Permeable resin-bound surfaces handle Tooting's notorious surface water issues whilst maintaining kerb appeal. Raised planters maximise growing space without sacrificing precious square footage. Strategic lighting extends usability into darker months, particularly valuable given how early those townhouse shadows fall across narrow frontages.
Twenty years solving Furzedown's drainage puzzles and maximising Tooting Broadway's pocket-sized plots builds real expertise. Local knowledge matters when navigating everything from conservation area restrictions to managing established root systems.

Most SW17 terrace fronts fall between £3,500-£7,000, depending on whether you're after simple paving replacement or full redesign including planting, boundaries and lighting. Larger semi-detached properties typically range £6,000-£12,000.
Absolutely - from the grand houses near Tooting Bec Common right through to the conversions around Tooting Broadway station. Regular projects in Furzedown too, where those inter-war semis often have more generous front spaces.
Smaller terrace fronts typically complete within 5-8 working days. More complex designs incorporating driveways or significant level changes might stretch to 2-3 weeks, weather permitting.
Every installation carries decade-long coverage against defects in workmanship. This includes paving settlement, pointing failures, and structural issues with walls or steps - genuine peace of mind for your investment.
Definitely - discrete bin storage ranks high on Tooting homeowners' wishlists. Cedar screening, living walls, or built-in stores all work brilliantly, keeping those wheelie bins accessible yet hidden from street view.
