Brixton's housing stock presents unique opportunities for creative garden solutions. Those narrow side returns, awkward L-shaped plots behind Edwardian conversions, and shaded courtyards near the railway arches all have potential. Years of transforming these challenging spaces have taught us that smart design beats size every time.
Vertical planting maximises growing space whilst preserving precious floor area for seating. Built-in storage benches solve the eternal bike-and-bin dilemma. Permeable surfaces handle London clay's drainage issues whilst meeting local planning requirements. Mirror placement and pale rendered walls bounce light into those north-facing gardens tucked behind Electric Avenue's bustling shops.
Local knowledge matters when your neighbour's extension casts afternoon shade or Network Rail's boundaries affect your fence line. Understanding Lambeth's planning quirks saves time and hassle.
