Bromley's mix of period properties and newer developments each bring unique gardening challenges. Those charming Victorian terraces in Shortlands often come with north-facing plots that struggle with shade, whilst the generous gardens around Bickley can feel overwhelming to maintain. Creating a garden that looks stunning year-round without constant attention requires understanding both your soil and your lifestyle.
Strategic plant selection forms the backbone of any successful low-maintenance scheme. Hardy perennials like sedums and ornamental grasses thrive in Bromley's clay-heavy soil, establishing deep root systems that need minimal watering once settled. Mulching with bark or decorative aggregates suppresses weeds naturally whilst retaining moisture. Automated irrigation systems, particularly useful during those unpredictable British summers, keep everything thriving without daily hosepipe duties.
