Balham gardens work hard—family play, summer hosting and busy weeks can quickly turn lawns and borders scruffy. We provide regular care across SW12, covering everything from lawn mowing and leaf clearance to pruning and weeding. If you’re near Balham station or along Balham High Road, we can slot visits into your schedule and keep things looking consistently cared-for. Our team arrives on time, works neatly, and leaves your garden ready to enjoy.
Balham’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have compact rear gardens, side returns and mature shrubs that need careful shaping rather than a quick chop. Mansion conversions and flats around Clapham South can mean shared access and tighter storage, so we plan tools and waste removal accordingly. In the Nightingale area, established planting benefits from thoughtful seasonal care to keep it flowering without becoming overgrown. We tailor every visit to your garden’s layout, light levels and planting style.
We start with a clear maintenance plan: what gets done each visit, what changes seasonally, and how often you want us back. You’ll get consistent standards—clean edges, tidy beds, and properly timed pruning—plus sensible recommendations when plants need extra attention. We work efficiently (we’re around 15 minutes away) and keep disruption low for neighbours and households. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, careful workmanship and results you can see week after week.
We know the garden rhythms across the London Borough of Wandsworth, including windy frontages and shaded rear plots near Tooting Bec Common. Many streets have limited parking and narrow side access, so we arrive with the right kit and keep paths clear. Balham’s period properties often have established shrubs and compact lawns that need precision rather than heavy-handed cutting. Our approach adapts to access, waste removal and seasonal council collection patterns.

For garden maintenance in the Balham area, hourly rates are typically £30–£60 depending on the size of the team and the tasks needed. Most homeowners spend around £100–£300 per visit for regular upkeep such as lawn mowing, weeding, hedge trimming and seasonal tidy-ups. Larger gardens, heavy leaf clearance, overgrown borders or one-off catch-up visits can sit at the upper end of the range.
Most regular maintenance visits take 2–4 hours, though smaller gardens can be completed in under two hours and larger plots may need a half day. Time depends on lawn size, hedge lengths, the amount of weeding, and whether pruning or leaf clearance is included. Access also matters—narrow side returns and steps can slow waste removal. We’ll recommend a visit frequency that keeps work predictable.
Routine garden maintenance—mowing, pruning, weeding and hedge trimming—doesn’t usually need planning permission in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Restrictions can apply for protected trees, conservation areas, or if a tree has a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). If you’re unsure, we can help you identify any constraints before major pruning or removals. We also work considerately around noise and waste disposal expectations.

Plant performance can vary with weather and site conditions, but we always advise on aftercare to protect your garden between visits.
Your plan can be built around lawn mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, pruning, leaf clearance and seasonal care, with optional extras to suit your garden. Popular add-ons include lawn feeding, scarifying and aeration, border mulching, replanting tired pots, and reshaping overgrown shrubs.
