Soft landscaping brings life to Dartford gardens through careful plant selection and intelligent lawn design. Those clay-heavy soils around Wilmington and the chalk deposits near Greenhithe need specific approaches. Years of working across DA1 have taught us which species thrive here, from drought-tolerant perennials for south-facing borders to shade-loving ferns for those narrow passages between terraced houses.
Creating sustainable gardens means understanding microclimates. Properties near the A2 benefit from pollution-tolerant hedging, whilst homes backing onto Dartford Heath can embrace native wildflower meadows. Turf establishment requires proper soil preparation - particularly important given the building rubble often lurking beneath newer estates. Smart irrigation planning prevents those brown patches that plague local lawns every summer.
Dartford gardens face unique challenges that weekend warriors often underestimate. Having rescued countless DIY disasters across Crayford and Bexley, we've developed techniques that actually work in this corner of Kent.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most semi-detached properties in DA1 see complete soft landscaping transformations between £2,500-£6,000, depending on planting density and whether existing turf needs replacing. Smaller courtyard gardens often come in under £1,800.
Absolutely - from the new developments off Lowfield Street to established gardens in Temple Hill. We're based locally and cover all DA1 postcodes plus neighbouring Crayford and Bexley.
A typical three-bed garden takes 3-5 days for full soft landscaping. Smaller front gardens often transform in a single day, whilst larger projects near Greenhithe might span a week.
Every planting scheme includes our decade-long establishment guarantee. If anything fails due to poor stock or planting technique within ten years, we'll replace it free of charge - though our success rate across Dartford speaks for itself.
Definitely. Many Dartford gardens contain beautiful mature specimens that need incorporating into new designs. We'll assess root zones, create complementary underplanting, and ensure new additions enhance rather than compete with existing plants.
