Catford's mix of period homes and modern developments each present unique gardening opportunities. From the generous plots near Mountsfield Park to the bijou gardens backing onto the railway lines, soft landscaping breathes life into any space. Plants, turf, and careful design work together to create gardens that thrive despite London's challenging conditions. Local knowledge matters when selecting species that cope with urban pollution and the particular microclimate of SE6.
Successful soft landscaping starts with understanding your soil. Much of Catford sits on London clay, which needs proper preparation before planting or turfing. Incorporating organic matter, creating drainage channels, and selecting appropriate plant varieties ensures long-term success. Border creation involves more than digging holes – it's about building ecosystems where plants support each other through the seasons. Premium turf varieties suited to shade or heavy foot traffic mean lawns stay green even in those narrow side returns common to local terraces.
Eleven years working in SE6 means knowing which suppliers deliver the healthiest plants and understanding exactly how Catford gardens evolve through the seasons. Trust comes from seeing established gardens flourish years after installation.
