Tucked between the North Downs, Warlingham's Victorian cottages and modern homes often feature surprisingly intimate gardens. These smaller spaces present the perfect canvas for creative landscaping that maximises every square metre.

Small gardens demand clever thinking. Throughout CR6, we've mastered the art of turning narrow side returns, awkward corners, and pocket-sized plots into remarkable outdoor rooms. Whether you're dealing with the steep slopes common near Limpsfield Road or the clay-heavy soil that challenges so many Warlingham gardeners, thoughtful design makes all the difference.
Strategic planning begins with understanding how light moves through your space. Morning sun hitting a breakfast nook, afternoon shade for summer entertaining, evening glow illuminating architectural planting - each element carefully positioned. Vertical gardening, multi-level designs, and built-in storage solutions help these compact spaces work harder. Mirror-backed water features create illusion while masking traffic noise from nearby Croydon Road.
Years spent working on Warlingham's varied terrain has taught us which materials weather best against chalk downland winds. Local knowledge matters when selecting plants that thrive in our specific microclimate.

Absolutely - we work throughout the CR6 postcode area including Chelsham's rural properties and Whyteleafe's hillside gardens. Each location brings unique characteristics we've come to know well.
Smaller spaces generally require 2-4 weeks from breaking ground to final planting. Complexity drives timescales - a straightforward patio and border refresh might complete in 10 days, while intricate designs with water features or substantial level changes need the full month.
Every hardscaping element - patios, walls, steps, and structures - carries a decade-long guarantee. Plants receive 12 months coverage, ensuring they establish properly in Warlingham's sometimes challenging conditions.
Definitely. Established plants often anchor a redesign beautifully. We'll assess their health, consider whether repositioning might benefit them, and integrate these mature specimens into the fresh layout - saving both money and years of growing time.
