Those sloping gardens common to Streatham's hillside streets deserve more than just a basic patio. Victorian terraces here often hide surprising potential behind their modest facades - space that hard landscaping can unlock beautifully.

Hard landscaping in Streatham brings particular challenges that local knowledge helps overcome. Many properties between the Common and Streatham Hill feature awkward gradients, narrow side returns, or that classic Victorian problem - the basement kitchen needing proper drainage solutions. Years of working across SW16 and SW2 mean understanding exactly how to maximise these quirky spaces while respecting the character of the neighbourhood.
Quality groundwork starts with understanding London clay's behaviour through our unpredictable seasons. Proper sub-base preparation prevents the dreaded sinking that plagues so many driveways around Furzedown. Contemporary resin-bound surfaces prove popular here, offering permeability to satisfy council requirements whilst complementing period properties. Block paving remains a solid choice too - especially when laid with adequate expansion joints to handle ground movement.
Local projects completed over fifteen years speak louder than promises. Neighbours talk in Streatham - particularly along those interconnected streets near the Common where everyone knows who's had work done.
