Catford's mix of housing brings unique planting challenges - narrow side returns crying out for climbers, shady corners beneath mature trees, and those tricky clay patches that plague so many SE6 gardens. Years of working these streets means knowing exactly which varieties thrive where. That jasmine you've been eyeing? Brilliant against your south-facing fence, but let's talk alternatives if you're dealing with heavy shade from next door's extension.
Soil preparation makes or breaks any planting scheme. Catford's heavy London clay needs proper amendment before anything goes in the ground. Breaking up compacted earth, incorporating organic matter, ensuring drainage - these fundamentals determine whether plants merely survive or absolutely thrive. pH testing reveals whether those azaleas will sulk or sing, while understanding your garden's microclimate prevents costly plant losses down the line.
Local knowledge beats generic advice every time. Having planted hundreds of Catford gardens, from tiny courtyards off Brownhill Road to larger plots near Mountsfield Park, patterns emerge about what works where. Trust comes from seeing established borders flourishing years after planting.
