Victorian terraces around Clapham Common often come with narrow gardens that feel overwhelming to maintain. By selecting drought-tolerant perennials and incorporating automated irrigation, even the tightest SW4 plots become manageable retreats. Many local professionals simply don't have hours for weeding and pruning between work commitments.
Ground-covering plants eliminate bare soil where weeds typically flourish. Gravel pathways between raised beds reduce lawn areas whilst maintaining visual appeal. Strategic placement of evergreen shrubs creates year-round structure without autumn leaf clearing. Mulch layers retain moisture during dry spells, cutting watering frequency dramatically.
Years spent transforming Battersea and Stockwell gardens taught us which plants genuinely thrive with minimal intervention in South London clay. Local knowledge matters when soil conditions vary street by street.
