Garden planting in SM4 requires understanding the peculiarities of South London clay soil and those tricky spots where nothing seems to thrive. Many properties between St Helier and Lower Morden face similar challenges - waterlogged beds in winter, parched borders come July. Years of working these streets has taught us which plants genuinely succeed here, rather than just surviving until the first frost.
Proper planting goes beyond digging holes and hoping for the best. Soil improvement comes first - breaking up that stubborn clay, adding organic matter, ensuring drainage works properly. Plant selection considers not just aesthetics but practicality: will that climbing rose cope with the wind tunnel effect between terraced houses? Can those shade-loving ferns handle the dry soil under established trees? Each garden receives plants chosen specifically for its conditions.
Local knowledge matters when selecting plants for Morden gardens. Having planted hundreds of gardens from Merton Park boundaries to Rosehill roundabout, we've learned exactly what thrives where. No guesswork, just proven results backed by decade-long guarantees.

Most semi-detached properties in SM4 require £800-£2,500 for comprehensive planting, including soil preparation and quality plants. Smaller front gardens or specific borders usually fall between £300-£700, depending on plant density and specimen sizes chosen.
Absolutely - from the parade of shops on Crown Lane through to the quieter roads near Morden South station. Regular planting work takes us across St Helier, Lower Morden, and right up to the edges of Morden Park.
Initial impact happens immediately with careful plant placement and sizes. By the following spring, you'll see genuine growth and filling out. Most Morden gardens achieve that mature, settled appearance within 18-24 months of planting.
Every planting project includes our 10-year establishment guarantee - if plants fail due to issues within our control, they're replaced without charge. This long-term promise reflects confidence in our soil preparation and plant selection methods specifically suited to Morden's conditions.
Definitely - many SM4 gardens contain established shrubs or trees worth preserving. We'll assess what's thriving, suggest complementary underplanting, and integrate new additions seamlessly. Sometimes relocating existing plants creates better overall schemes whilst maintaining garden maturity.
