Victorian terraces dominate Thornton Heath's streets, each with narrow rear gardens that present unique design challenges. Years of London weather combined with heavy foot traffic often leave these compact spaces looking rather sorry. Smart renovation techniques can maximise every square metre, turning cramped yards into functional havens that complement your home's period features.
Clay soil management forms the backbone of successful CR7 garden projects. Installing proper drainage systems prevents winter waterlogging whilst raised beds overcome compaction issues. Strategic planting selections thrive in local conditions – hardy perennials that shrug off pollution from nearby main roads whilst providing year-round interest. Modern landscaping materials blend seamlessly with traditional brick boundaries common throughout the area.
Local knowledge matters when tackling Thornton Heath's quirky plot shapes and established root systems. Years spent working between South Norwood and Broad Green mean understanding which solutions actually work here, not just what looks good in magazines.
