Gardens across Wimbledon tell unique stories – from the generous plots near the Common to compact courtyards in Raynes Park's Victorian terraces. Each space deserves planting that works with its character. Soil conditions vary dramatically between the clay-heavy areas near Copse Hill and the sandier patches towards South Wimbledon, which is why local knowledge matters when selecting plants that'll genuinely thrive.
Smart plant selection goes beyond picking pretty flowers. Consider how morning sun hits your borders differently in autumn, which corners stay soggy after rain, and where frost pockets form during those crisp December mornings. Mix evergreen structure with seasonal interest – perhaps Hydrangea paniculata for late summer drama alongside winter-flowering Viburnum. Layer heights thoughtfully: ground-hugging Ajuga beneath mid-level Astilbes, topped with architectural grasses that catch low winter light beautifully.
Twenty years of planting Wimbledon gardens means knowing which nurseries stock the healthiest specimens and understanding exactly how that notorious SW19 wind affects exposed borders. Local connections run deep here – from sourcing rare cultivars to knowing precisely when spring truly arrives in each microclimate.

Border planting typically ranges from £35-60 per square metre, including plants and labour. A complete garden makeover for a standard SW19 Victorian plot might fall between £2,500-£6,000, depending on plant maturity and density. Smaller courtyard schemes often work out around £1,200-£2,500.
Absolutely – from the grand gardens overlooking Wimbledon Common to the charming plots in Raynes Park and the contemporary spaces near South Wimbledon station. Regular projects span from Copse Hill through to Worcester Park borders.
Initial planting usually takes 2-4 days for an average Wimbledon garden. You'll see immediate structure, with most perennials establishing properly within 6-8 weeks. Full maturity varies – some plants fill out within a season, while structural shrubs need 2-3 years.
Every planting scheme includes a comprehensive 10-year guarantee covering plant health and establishment. Should anything struggle despite proper care, replacements arrive promptly. This long-term commitment reflects confidence in both plant selection and planting techniques developed specifically for Wimbledon's conditions.
Definitely – established plants often form the backbone of successful schemes. Mature trees provide instant height and seasonal interest while existing shrubs offer structure. Fresh underplanting, strategic gap-filling, or complementary additions can completely revitalise tired borders without starting from scratch.
