Those tired borders and patchy lawns in Earlsfield deserve better than another summer of disappointment. Whether you're wrestling with heavy London clay or dreaming beyond that narrow Victorian plot, a complete garden transformation might be exactly what your SW18 home needs.

Earlsfield's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring their own outdoor challenges. Victorian terraces often hide surprisingly deep gardens begging for structure, while the converted flats near the station struggle with overlooked spaces that need clever screening. Having transformed countless SW18 gardens over the years, the trick lies in understanding what each unique plot can become – not forcing a one-size-fits-all approach onto Wandsworth's varied housing stock.
A proper makeover starts with stripping back years of accumulated problems. Compacted soil gets relieved, drainage sorted where those typical Earlsfield slopes cause waterlogging, and tired planting schemes completely reimagined. Modern gardens demand more than pretty flowers – they need zones for entertaining, spaces for children, perhaps a spot for homeworking when the weather allows. Smart material choices transform maintenance from weekend chore to occasional potter.
Local knowledge matters when slopes meet clay soil and every garden backs onto another. Years spent working between Garratt Lane and Magdalen Road mean understanding exactly which plants thrive despite pollution from the nearby A3, and how to maximise light in those shadowy corners typical of terraced properties.

Complete makeovers in SW18 typically range from £8,000 for compact courtyard transformations to £25,000+ for full redesigns of larger Victorian plots. Most Earlsfield gardens fall into the £12,000-£18,000 bracket, which covers new paving, planting schemes, and essential drainage improvements.
Absolutely – from the period properties near Earlsfield station right through to the modern developments towards Wandsworth Common. Regular projects take us along Burr Road, through the Heathfield Square conservation area, and across to properties backing onto Garratt Park.
Most SW18 garden makeovers run 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Compact courtyards might be complete within 10 days, whilst those longer Victorian plots typically need the full month, especially when tackling level changes or installing contemporary lighting schemes.
Every element – from drainage systems to retaining walls – carries a decade-long guarantee against defects. Plants come with a 12-month establishment warranty, ensuring your new garden matures exactly as planned throughout Earlsfield's unpredictable seasons.
Definitely – mature trees, original walls, or that cherished rose your grandmother planted can all be incorporated into fresh designs. Many Earlsfield gardens contain hidden gems worth preserving, whether Victorian path edging or established shrubs that just need proper placement within an updated scheme.
