Those Victorian terraces around Old Coulsdon might have modest outdoor spaces, but that's where creativity flourishes. Every square metre counts when you're working with the typical CR5 garden dimensions.

Coulsdon's mix of 1930s semis and modern developments often share one characteristic – gardens that need clever thinking rather than grand gestures. Between the chalk downs and suburban streets, these pocket-sized plots present unique opportunities. Local knowledge matters here, especially when dealing with the area's distinctive soil conditions and those tricky slopes near Farthing Downs.
Smart zoning transforms restricted spaces through vertical planting, built-in seating, and multi-functional surfaces. Materials get selected based on both aesthetics and practicality – porcelain paving handles our weather whilst mirroring indoor flooring for seamless flow. Raised beds solve drainage issues common to heavy clay areas near Kenley aerodrome. Contemporary screening provides privacy without sacrificing precious square footage.
Twenty years navigating Coulsdon's planning quirks gives perspective on what works locally. From conservation area restrictions near Bradmore Green to maximising light in north-facing plots off Brighton Road, experience shows.
