Victorian properties along Malden Road often feature mature gardens crying out for rejuvenation. Modern planting schemes, strategic lawn reshaping, and thoughtful border design can completely transform tired spaces. Those clay-heavy soils common across SM2 and SM3 actually provide excellent growing conditions once properly prepared.
Soft landscaping encompasses everything from turf laying to shrub selection, mulching to meadow creation. Each Cheam garden presents unique challenges – perhaps drainage issues from the London clay, or shade cast by neighbouring semis. Understanding local microclimates helps select plants that'll thrive rather than merely survive. Proper soil improvement techniques ensure lasting results, particularly important given the chalky patches found near the downs.
Twenty years working across Sutton borough means knowing which suppliers stock the healthiest specimens. Local knowledge matters – understanding that Worcester Park Road properties often battle waterlogging, while elevated spots near Cheam Common face different challenges entirely.

Initial impact happens immediately, but true establishment takes 12-18 months. Spring plantings typically show best results by the following autumn, though we select semi-mature specimens where instant effect matters.
Plants carry a 10-year warranty when maintained according to our care guide. This covers replacement of any specimens that fail to establish, excluding extreme weather events or neglect. Written care instructions ensure your investment thrives.
Clay soil, whilst challenging, becomes an asset with proper amendment. We incorporate organic matter, install appropriate drainage where needed, and select plants that appreciate moisture-retentive conditions. Many stunning gardens across SM2 thrive on improved clay.
