Lewisham's diverse housing stock presents unique opportunities for creative garden design. Whether you're dealing with heavy London clay in a Catford semi or planning a complete overhaul for a period property near Lewisham Park, soft landscaping breathes life into tired outdoor spaces. The right combination of turf, planting beds, and decorative elements turns even the most challenging plot into something special.
Proper soil preparation forms the foundation of any successful garden transformation. Clay-heavy plots common across SE13 require careful amendment before laying new turf or establishing planting schemes. Strategic placement of trees provides privacy from neighbouring properties whilst perennial borders offer year-round interest. Drainage solutions prevent the waterlogging that plagues many Deptford gardens during wet winters.
Twenty years working across South East London means understanding exactly which plants thrive in local conditions. Every project receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a modest front garden makeover or extensive grounds renovation.
