Between the railway arches and riverside apartments, SW11's gardens come in every shape imaginable. Some residents inherit overgrown jungles from previous owners, while others stare at blank canvases of compacted clay. Victorian properties near Clapham Junction often hide surprising potential beneath decades of ivy and broken paving. A thoughtful makeover respects what's already working whilst reimagining the rest.
Starting with soil assessment reveals whether you're dealing with London clay or imported topsoil from past attempts at landscaping. Plant selection depends on shade patterns cast by neighbouring buildings - particularly relevant in Nine Elms' newer developments. Drainage solutions prevent waterlogging common in Battersea's low-lying areas near the Thames. Materials chosen complement existing architecture, whether that's reclaimed brick for period properties or sleek porcelain for contemporary spaces.
Twenty years of transforming SW11 gardens means understanding which suppliers deliver on time to tight Battersea streets. Local knowledge extends beyond logistics - knowing which plants thrive despite pollution from Battersea Bridge Road traffic makes all the difference.
