Garden Makeovers in Orpington

Garden Makeovers Specialists in Orpington

Victorian properties near St Mary Cray Station often hide remarkable garden bones under dense ivy and self-seeded sycamores. Modern estates throughout BR6 frequently feature blank canvas plots crying out for personality. Whether you're tackling the steep slopes common in Chelsfield Village or reimagining a compact courtyard behind a Petts Wood terrace, transforming these spaces requires both vision and local knowledge. Clay soil, mature tree preservation orders, and drainage quirks all play their part in Orpington's garden story.

Initial site analysis reveals hidden opportunities most homeowners miss entirely. Soil testing determines whether that patchy lawn stems from compaction, poor drainage, or the builder's rubble lurking inches below. Design development considers sight lines from your kitchen window, prevailing winds off the North Downs, and how afternoon shadows fall across different zones. Implementation phases work around your lifestyle - perhaps keeping the children's play area functional whilst borders take shape, or maintaining access during the wettest months when Orpington's heavy clay becomes unworkable.

Twenty-three years working gardens between Locksbottom and Green Street Green teaches you which plants thrive despite late spring frosts. Local suppliers know our vans, neighbours recommend our transformations, and previous clients still send photos of their maturing gardens years later.
