Small gardens throughout DA5 present unique opportunities rather than limitations. Whether you're working with a narrow side return in Bexleyheath or a petite courtyard near Crayford station, clever design transforms these intimate spaces. Many homeowners discover their modest plot becomes their favourite escape, especially when every element serves multiple purposes.
Vertical planting maximises ground space whilst adding dramatic height. Built-in seating doubles as storage, solving that eternal Bexley problem of where to stash garden furniture during unpredictable weather. Contemporary materials like composite decking and porcelain paving require minimal upkeep - perfect for busy professionals commuting into London. Strategic lighting extends usability well into evening, making your garden feel twice its actual size.
Living locally means understanding how Bexley's clay soil behaves through the seasons. Years spent working on similar plots from Sidcup to Old Bexley village inform every recommendation, ensuring your investment thrives long-term.
