Garden planting in SW19 requires understanding what thrives between the Wandle and the Northern Line. Clay-heavy soil meets urban drainage challenges here, particularly in those tightly-packed terraces off Christchurch Road. Years of working these plots means knowing exactly which plants flourish despite the London pollution and variable shade patterns cast by neighbouring properties.
Plant selection starts with honest soil assessment - Colliers Wood's mix of London clay and builder's rubble needs specific preparation. Root barriers protect foundations on these close-knit streets. Drought-tolerant perennials suit south-facing walls baking in summer heat. Meanwhile, shade-lovers thrive in those narrow side returns typical of local Edwardian homes, creating green corridors where little else grows.
Local knowledge beats generic planting lists every time. Having planted hundreds of Colliers Wood gardens, from High Street flats to those hidden gems behind Cavendish Road, patterns emerge about what genuinely succeeds here.

Absolutely - from Baltic Close to Boundary Road, including all those tucked-away gardens near Abbey Mills and the residential streets around Merton High Street.
Initial planting typically takes 1-3 days depending on garden size, with instant visual impact. Full establishment happens over the first growing season.
All plantings carry our decade-long guarantee covering plant health and establishment, because quality planting in suitable conditions should last. This covers replacement if properly maintained plants fail.
Proven performers include Verbena bonariensis, Japanese anemones, and ornamental grasses - all handling pollution well whilst providing year-round interest. Climbing hydrangeas excel on north-facing walls common to local terraces.
