Those steep slopes common to CR5 properties don't have to mean endless mowing and weeding. By selecting drought-tolerant perennials, installing strategic hardscaping, and choosing slow-growing shrubs suited to chalky Coulsdon soil, gardens practically look after themselves. Many homeowners near Farthing Downs have already discovered how liberating a properly planned low-maintenance scheme can be.
Ground-covering plants suppress weeds naturally, whilst automated irrigation keeps everything healthy during dry spells. Ornamental grasses add movement without demanding constant trimming. Mulched beds retain moisture and reduce maintenance visits to just twice yearly. Strategic placement of evergreens provides year-round structure without autumn leaf clearing.
Having transformed dozens of high-maintenance plots across Chipstead Valley and Old Coulsdon, the difference proper planning makes becomes clear quickly. Local knowledge of which plants thrive on these chalky ridges means fewer replacements and healthier growth long-term.
