Those generous CR2 gardens surrounding Victorian and Edwardian properties present unique opportunities for creative planting. Clay-heavy soil throughout much of Sanderstead actually suits many native perennials perfectly. Working with natural contours rather than against them, established borders can flourish where traditional lawns struggle on those characteristic slopes near Purley Oaks.
Quality topsoil preparation remains crucial before any turfing begins. Drainage channels prevent waterlogging during wet winters, particularly important given local elevation changes. Fresh turf rolls establish quickly when laid correctly, creating instant visual impact. Mulching newly planted areas conserves moisture through dry spells whilst suppressing weeds naturally.
Fifteen years cultivating Sanderstead gardens brings invaluable local knowledge. Understanding which plants thrive despite chalk deposits helps create sustainable, beautiful spaces that mature gracefully.
