Those sloping gardens typical of Crystal Palace's hillside location deserve better than patchy grass and forgotten borders. Whether you're battling the clay soil common around Anerley or dealing with shade from neighbouring Victorian properties, a thoughtful makeover can completely transform your outdoor space.

Crystal Palace gardens face particular challenges - from the heavy London clay that dominates SE19 to the steep gradients found throughout Upper Norwood. Many homeowners inherit tired layouts from decades past, complete with crumbling crazy paving and overgrown shrubs that block precious light. A professional makeover tackles these issues head-on, creating outdoor spaces that work with the area's natural contours rather than against them.
The transformation process begins with understanding how you actually want to use your garden, not just how it looks. Practical drainage solutions address the waterlogging issues common in Penge's lower-lying areas. Terracing converts awkward slopes into usable zones. Smart planting choices ensure year-round interest while requiring minimal maintenance - crucial when you're juggling London life.
