Soft Landscaping in Penge

Soft Landscaping Specialists in Penge

Soft landscaping encompasses everything living in your outdoor space - the lawns, borders, hedges and planted areas that bring colour and texture to Penge gardens. Many SE20 properties feature narrow side returns or shaded spots beneath mature trees, challenging spaces that actually thrive with the right plant selection. Working with these quirks rather than against them creates gardens that feel naturally suited to their surroundings.

Plant selection begins with understanding your garden's microclimate and soil conditions. Clay-heavy areas near Crystal Palace Road often require different treatment than the sandier patches found closer to Anerley. Establishing healthy turf means preparing the ground properly - improving drainage where needed, enriching the soil, then selecting grass varieties that cope with everything from children's football matches to partial shade beneath boundary walls.

Twenty-three years working across South London has taught us which plants genuinely flourish in Penge's particular conditions. Local knowledge matters when you're dealing with everything from waterlogged corners to dry spots beneath established trees.
