Response within 24 hours
Earlsfield's mix of period properties and newer builds each bring their own garden puzzles. Victorian plots often hide decades of DIY disasters beneath overgrown shrubs. Meanwhile, newer estates near Garratt Lane struggle with bland builder layouts that waste precious space. Understanding these local quirks shapes every renovation decision.
Clay soil dominates much of SW18, turning winter gardens into swamps and summer lawns into concrete. Proper drainage installation prevents those familiar Wandsworth puddles. Strategic planting choices thrive where traditional favourites fail. Raised beds solve multiple problems at once - better drainage, easier maintenance, and cleaner lines that suit modern lifestyles.
Twenty years tackling Earlsfield gardens builds real expertise. Local knowledge beats generic solutions every time, especially when navigating conservation area restrictions or party wall agreements.
