Balham's characteristic period properties often feature rectangular plots that haven't been touched since the 1970s. Behind those original brick walls lie gardens crying out for imagination. Whether you're dealing with an overgrown jungle inherited from previous owners or a bland square of patchy grass, there's always a creative solution waiting to emerge.
Garden transformation involves far more than pulling up weeds and laying new turf. Proper drainage solutions tackle SW12's clay-heavy soil issues. Strategic planting schemes work with narrow spaces typical of Victorian terraces. Modern materials blend seamlessly with period features, while clever design tricks make even the smallest Balham garden feel spacious and inviting.
Local knowledge matters when reimagining outdoor spaces between Wandsworth Common and Streatham Hill. Understanding how morning light hits different parts of SW12 gardens shapes every design decision.
