Those sloping gardens typical of Sevenoaks properties deserve better than patchy lawns and overgrown borders. Whether you're tackling a compact courtyard in Dunton Green or wrestling with clay soil on the Kemsing slopes, garden renovation breathes new life into neglected outdoor spaces.

Garden renovation in Sevenoaks presents unique challenges - chalk soil meets heavy clay, Victorian properties sit alongside 1960s developments, and those infamous Kent slopes test even experienced landscapers. Many local gardens haven't been properly addressed since construction, leaving homeowners with awkward levels, poor drainage, and outdated designs. A complete renovation tackles everything from soil improvement to contemporary planting schemes that work with Sevenoaks' specific microclimate.
The renovation process begins with understanding your plot's history and potential. Soil testing reveals pH levels crucial for plant selection, while drainage assessment prevents future waterlogging issues common near the Darent Valley. Modern techniques like rain gardens manage surface water naturally, particularly beneficial for properties near Otford's flood-prone areas. Smart zoning creates distinct spaces - perhaps a Mediterranean gravel garden catching south-facing sun, transitioning to shade-loving ferns beneath mature trees.
Knowledge of Sevenoaks gardens runs deep - from fixing drainage problems plaguing TN14's heavy clay to maximising light in north-facing Dunton Green plots. Every project respects existing mature planting while introducing contemporary design suited to busy lifestyles.
