Those narrow plots behind Streatham's period properties can become surprisingly manageable with the right approach. Gravel pathways, evergreen borders and automated irrigation transform demanding gardens into relaxed retreats. Whether you're battling clay soil near the Common or dealing with shade from neighbouring properties, sustainable solutions exist that slash maintenance time dramatically.
Strategic hardscaping forms the backbone of any care-free garden. Permeable paving handles London's rainfall whilst eliminating weeding between slabs. Raised beds filled with improved soil combat Streatham's heavy clay, while native perennials thrive without constant attention. Built-in seating doubles as retaining walls, maximising every square metre of those typical 30-foot plots.
Twenty years solving Streatham's trickiest gardens means understanding which solutions actually work long-term. Local knowledge matters when specifying materials that cope with everything from Furzedown's exposed sites to sheltered spots near Streatham Hill station.
