Those Victorian terraces around Bexley Village often come with compact gardens that become overwhelming to maintain. Rather than battling constant weeding and pruning, consider drought-tolerant perennials that thrive in our local clay soil. The right plant selections paired with strategic mulching can slash your garden maintenance by up to 80%, leaving you free to actually relax outdoors.
Creating genuinely low-maintenance gardens involves understanding microclimates specific to DA5 properties. North-facing plots near Danson Park require shade-loving groundcovers that suppress weeds naturally. Meanwhile, sun-baked corners benefit from Mediterranean herbs and ornamental grasses. Incorporating permeable surfaces reduces both drainage issues and the need for constant sweeping – particularly valuable given Bexley's leaf-heavy autumn months.
