Penge's tightly packed Victorian streets hide countless small gardens waiting to flourish. Behind every terraced house lies potential for a personal sanctuary, no matter how modest the square footage.

Working with Penge's characteristic narrow plots requires both creativity and precision. Those classic Victorian terraces along Maple Road and surrounding streets typically offer gardens between 20-40 square metres - challenging dimensions that demand thoughtful planning. Years spent transforming these intimate spaces has taught us that constraints often inspire the most ingenious solutions.
Smart zoning transforms even the tiniest courtyard into multiple functional areas. Vertical planting maximises growing space whilst preserving precious floor area for seating or dining. Built-in storage benches serve double duty, hiding garden tools beneath comfortable cushions. Strategic lighting extends usability into evening hours, particularly valuable when your garden represents your sole outdoor space.
Local knowledge matters when every centimetre counts. Understanding SE20's specific soil conditions, typical drainage issues in older properties, and which plants thrive in Penge's particular microclimate makes all the difference between a garden that merely looks good on completion day and one that matures beautifully over seasons.
