Those typical Victorian terraces around Morden station often hide surprisingly generous gardens behind their modest facades. Clay soil dominates much of SM4, presenting unique drainage challenges that experienced installers navigate daily. Many homeowners discover their sloping plots actually offer creative opportunities for split-level designs. Local knowledge matters when working with the area's characteristic London clay and occasional pockets of gravel near Morden Park.
Proper groundwork prevents future headaches - excavating to the right depth, installing suitable sub-base materials, and creating gentle slopes for water run-off. Modern permeable paving options work brilliantly with Morden's heavy rainfall patterns. Compaction techniques vary depending on whether you're dealing with the firmer ground near St Helier or the softer patches common in Lower Morden. Each material choice affects longevity: natural stone weathers beautifully, porcelain resists staining from those inevitable barbecue spills, while quality concrete products balance durability with affordability.
Twenty years handling Morden's quirky garden layouts builds genuine expertise. Regular projects throughout SM4 mean established relationships with local suppliers and familiarity with council requirements.
