Those long, narrow gardens behind Sydenham's Victorian terraces deserve more than just grass and a few shrubs. Let's create something that makes you smile every time you look outside.

Gardens in SE26 face their own quirks – heavy London clay, shady spots from neighbouring buildings, and those tricky side returns that never quite know what they want to be. Having planted hundreds of gardens between Mayow Park and Wells Park, we've learned exactly which plants thrive here. Your garden deserves more than guesswork.
Smart planting transforms spaces. Mix evergreen structure with seasonal colour bursts. Layer heights to create depth in compact plots. Choose plants that actually enjoy our local conditions rather than fighting them. The right combinations mean less maintenance, better growth, and gardens that look intentional rather than accidental.
Twenty years digging in Sydenham soil teaches you things. Like which corner shops stock the best bacon rolls and why azaleas struggle near Crystal Palace Park Road. Knowledge like that makes the difference between plants that merely survive and gardens that genuinely flourish.

Most SE26 gardens run £800-£2,500 for full planting schemes, depending on size and plant maturity. Smaller courtyard spaces might start around £400, while those generous plots near Sydenham Woods could reach £3,500 for extensive planting.
Absolutely – from the period properties near Sydenham station to the newer developments around Bell Green. We also cover neighbouring Forest Hill and Penge when schedules allow.
Typically 1-3 days for most Sydenham gardens. Compact terraced plots often finish within a day, while larger properties might need the full three days for comprehensive planting.
Every planting scheme includes our decade-long establishment guarantee. If plants fail due to issues within our control during the first ten years, we'll replace them free of charge. That's proper confidence in our work.
Definitely. Many Sydenham gardens have established features worth keeping – mature shrubs, characterful trees, or successful plantings. We'll assess what's thriving, suggest complementary additions, and create cohesive schemes that honour what's already working.
