Soft landscaping breathes life into SW18's outdoor spaces through carefully chosen plants, pristine lawns and thoughtful design. Many Earlsfield gardens face that classic London challenge - narrow strips of land that need clever planting to feel spacious. Between the railway line and busy roads, creating green sanctuaries requires understanding which plants thrive despite urban pressures. Local soil conditions vary dramatically from street to street, particularly near the River Wandle's old course.
Plant selection starts with analysing your garden's unique microclimate and existing conditions. North-facing gardens behind Garratt Lane properties need shade-tolerant species, whilst south-facing plots can support Mediterranean-style planting. Soil improvement often proves essential - years of building work leaves many Earlsfield gardens with compacted, nutrient-poor earth. Fresh topsoil, organic matter incorporation and proper drainage installation creates foundations for thriving plants and healthy lawns.
Twenty years working across Wandsworth means knowing exactly which suppliers stock quality plants suited to SW18 conditions. Strong relationships with local nurseries ensure access to mature specimens that establish quickly in your garden.

Absolutely - from Magdalen Road's period conversions to modern developments near Earlsfield station. Regular projects span Southfields, Tooting and central Wandsworth too.
Initial planting and turfing typically completes within 5-10 working days. Plants need 3-6 months to settle, with full maturity achieved over 2-3 growing seasons depending on species selected.
All plants carry a 10-year establishment guarantee when maintained according to provided care instructions. This covers replacement of any specimens that fail to thrive due to planting issues rather than weather extremes or neglect.
Definitely - strategic plant choices combined with soil amendments dramatically improves drainage. Rain gardens using moisture-loving plants turn problem areas into features. Sometimes simple solutions like raised beds or French drains integrated with planting schemes solve persistent waterlogging.
