That overgrown patch behind your Mitcham terrace deserves better than another summer of neglect. Whether you're battling bindweed near Figges Marsh or dreaming of entertaining space by Mitcham Common, transformation starts with understanding what your plot can become.

South London gardens tell stories - from cramped courtyards squeezed between Victorian walls to sprawling lawns that haven't seen proper attention since the '90s. Around CR4 and SW16, soil varies wildly street to street, while mature trees cast challenging shadows across narrow plots. Every makeover begins by reading these unique conditions, then crafting solutions that actually work with Mitcham's clay-heavy ground and unpredictable drainage.
Redesigning involves three critical stages: stripping back decades of tangled growth, addressing fundamental issues like waterlogging or compacted earth, then building upward with planting schemes suited to partial shade and London pollution. Smart drainage solutions prevent those winter puddles common near Colliers Wood. Hardy perennials replace high-maintenance bedding. Clever screening creates privacy without stealing precious light from neighbouring properties.
Twenty years transforming Mitcham gardens means knowing which suppliers deliver quality materials promptly to SW16 addresses. Local knowledge matters when navigating narrow access paths typical of terraced streets, or working around preservation orders for mature trees.
