Those compact Victorian gardens dotting SW17 deserve more than patchy lawns and crumbling borders. Whether you're wrestling with waterlogged clay or dreaming of something grander than your current setup, a thoughtful renovation can unlock your plot's hidden potential.

Tooting's characteristic narrow gardens present unique opportunities disguised as challenges. Behind those terraced houses stretching from Furzedown to Tooting Bec, countless outdoor spaces languish underused - victims of poor drainage, awkward layouts, or simply decades of neglect. Smart renovation work respects these constraints while creating something genuinely transformative.
Modern garden renovation goes beyond superficial makeovers. Proper soil analysis reveals why certain plants fail repeatedly in local clay conditions. Drainage solutions prevent that familiar winter swamp effect plaguing properties near Tooting Broadway. Strategic lighting extends usability into evening hours, whilst permeable surfaces tackle run-off issues common to SW17's sloped streets. Each element works together, creating cohesive outdoor rooms rather than disconnected features.
Twenty-three years working across South London teaches you which approaches suit Tooting's specific quirks. Local knowledge matters when navigating conservation area restrictions or maximising those challenging side-return spaces.
