Those compact Brixton gardens deserve more than just a few scattered plants. Whether you're working with a narrow Victorian plot or a sun-trapped courtyard, the right planting scheme transforms everything.
Response within 24 hours
Brixton's urban gardens face unique challenges - from shaded spaces beneath railway arches to exposed rooftop terraces catching Atlantic winds. Years of local planting experience means understanding which varieties thrive despite pollution from the South Circular. Victorian terrace owners often struggle with north-facing aspects, while newer builds around Coldharbour Lane battle with thin topsoil over construction rubble.
Successful planting starts beneath the surface. Soil improvement forms the foundation - particularly crucial where decades of London clay meets urban compaction. Plant selection considers not just aesthetics but survival rates in Brixton's microclimate. Proper spacing prevents that overgrown jungle effect within eighteen months. Strategic positioning maximises limited sunlight whilst creating year-round interest.
Local knowledge matters when every square metre counts. Understanding which suppliers stock genuinely hardy specimens saves replacing failures next spring. Relationships with Brixton nurseries mean accessing plants suited to this specific environment.
