Victorian properties throughout SW16 often hide surprisingly generous gardens beneath decades of ivy and brambles. Many homeowners discover 30-foot plots they never knew existed once the clearing begins. From compact courtyards near Streatham Hill station to sprawling lawns backing onto Tooting Bec Common, each space presents unique opportunities. Local soil conditions vary dramatically between the clay-heavy areas near Streatham Common and the sandier patches towards Furzedown.
Renovation starts with understanding what lies beneath – original Victorian paths, forgotten flower beds, even old Anderson shelters occasionally surface during clearance work. Modern drainage solutions address the waterlogging common in Streatham's lower-lying areas, while strategic planting works with rather than against London clay. Incorporating sustainable practices like rainwater harvesting makes particular sense given Southwest London's variable rainfall patterns. Design elements blend contemporary functionality with period features that complement Edwardian and Victorian architecture.
Twenty years renovating Streatham gardens means knowing which plants thrive despite pollution from the South Circular. Local knowledge matters when dealing with everything from protected trees to party wall considerations with neighbouring properties.
