Putney's diverse architecture demands equally varied garden solutions. Whether you're wrestling with heavy clay soil near Roehampton Lane or battling shade from neighbouring properties in the conservation areas, the right plant selection changes everything. Local knowledge matters – understanding which species flourish in our riverside microclimate versus what survives the exposed conditions up on Putney Heath makes all the difference between a garden that merely exists and one that genuinely thrives.
Modern soft landscaping goes beyond simply digging holes and dropping in plants. Soil improvement comes first – particularly crucial given SW15's patchy ground conditions. Next, strategic placement ensures year-round interest whilst accounting for mature sizes. Mulching, proper drainage installation where needed, and establishing watering zones create sustainable gardens. The technical aspects might sound complex, but executed properly, they result in lower maintenance requirements long-term.
Twenty years working across Putney means knowing exactly which suppliers stock the healthiest specimens and understanding the quirks of every postcode. Barnes Common's sandy patches require different treatment than Roehampton's heavy ground – experience you won't find in generic landscaping firms.
