That neglected patch behind your Putney terrace deserves better than weeds and weathered decking. Gardens here tell stories – from cramped courtyards to sprawling Heath-side plots needing fresh vision.

Putney's garden challenges mirror its architectural variety. Victorian conversions squeeze maximum living space, often sacrificing outdoor areas to awkward shapes and heavy shade. Meanwhile, those lucky enough to border Putney Heath grapple with sandy soil and exposure. Each SW15 garden demands individual thinking – cookie-cutter solutions simply won't cut it when dealing with everything from narrow side returns to waterlogged clay near the Thames Path.
Successful makeovers begin with honest assessment. Soil testing reveals whether you're battling London clay or the sandier patches towards Roehampton. Light mapping throughout seasons identifies which plants will actually thrive, not just survive. Drainage solutions prevent that familiar Putney problem – beautiful patio, underwater by November. Materials selection considers both aesthetics and practicality; porcelain proves popular locally for its low maintenance despite our unpredictable weather.
Fifteen years watching Putney evolve taught us which trends stick and which fade faster than summer bedding. Local knowledge means understanding that Barnes-facing gardens catch brutal westerlies, whilst those tucked behind the High Street need creative solutions for overlooking windows.
