Gardens across Biggin Hill deserve more than just maintenance – they need thoughtful design that works with Kent's clay soils and variable weather. Creating outdoor spaces that flourish year-round requires understanding both the land and local conditions.

Soft landscaping breathes life into outdoor spaces through careful plant selection, soil improvement, and lawn establishment. Properties throughout TN16 often feature challenging slopes and heavy clay that demands specific expertise. From cottage gardens near the airfield to modern developments towards Keston, each plot presents unique opportunities for transformation. Local knowledge makes the difference between plants that merely survive and those that truly thrive.
Soil preparation forms the foundation of successful planting schemes in this part of Kent. Heavy clay requires amendment with organic matter and careful drainage consideration, particularly on the hillier plots common around Biggin Hill. Plant selection focuses on species proven to handle both summer drought and winter waterlogging – conditions typical of our elevated position. Established borders need rejuvenation every few years to maintain their vigour, especially given the exposure many local gardens face.
Twenty years working across TN16 has taught us which suppliers stock the healthiest specimens and when local conditions favour planting. Relationships with nurseries from Westerham to Tatsfield mean accessing varieties suited to this specific microclimate.

Border creation and planting typically ranges from £85-£150 per square metre, depending on plant density and soil preparation needed. A standard TN16 rear garden transformation usually falls between £3,500-£8,000, including lawn renovation and established planting.
Yes, we work across all of TN16, from properties near Biggin Hill airport to homes bordering Keston and Tatsfield. Regular projects take us through Jail Lane, Lusted Hall Lane, and the residential areas off Main Road.
Initial impact shows immediately, but borders typically need one full growing season to knit together properly. By the second spring, most planting schemes look naturally settled, though some slower-growing specimens continue maturing over 3-5 years.
All specimens we supply and plant carry a 10-year guarantee against defects, provided they receive reasonable aftercare. This covers replacement costs but naturally excludes damage from extreme weather events or neglect.
Absolutely – overseeding, scarification, and targeted treatment often restore tired lawns effectively. Many Biggin Hill gardens simply need addressing compaction from clay soil and adjusting cutting heights for our exposed conditions.
