Brixton's eclectic mix of period properties and newer builds each present unique garden challenges. Narrow side returns, overshadowed plots near the railway arches, or neglected spaces behind converted flats all deserve careful attention. Local knowledge matters when dealing with everything from London clay soil to the particular drainage issues common around Brockwell Park's borders.
Garden renovation goes beyond simply tidying overgrown borders. Structural improvements might include levelling uneven ground caused by old Anderson shelter foundations, installing proper drainage systems, or creating distinct zones for relaxation and entertainment. Materials selection considers both aesthetics and practicality - reclaimed London stock bricks complement period properties whilst contemporary porcelain works brilliantly for low-maintenance modern schemes.
Having transformed numerous gardens between Brixton Hill and Tulse Hill over fifteen years gives invaluable perspective. Understanding which plants thrive in sheltered SW9 courtyards versus exposed SW2 slopes makes all the difference to long-term success.
