Sutton's mix of period properties and newer builds creates unique gardening challenges. Clay-heavy soil near Cheam requires different treatment than the chalky patches around Carshalton. Years of working with local gardens means understanding which plants thrive where, and why that magnolia struggles in your north-facing plot.
Proper soil preparation makes the difference between plants that merely survive and those that flourish. Testing pH levels, improving drainage where London clay dominates, selecting species that cope with urban pollution - these technical aspects matter. Border design considers sight lines from your home, seasonal colour progression, and maintenance requirements that match your lifestyle.
Local knowledge beats generic solutions every time. Understanding which nurseries stock quality plants, knowing Sutton's microclimates, recognising common pest issues specific to SM postcodes - experience counts.

Fresh turf needs 3-4 weeks before normal use, while planted borders show their intended design after one growing season. Most perennials hit their stride by year two, with shrubs filling out properly within three years.
Plant stock comes with supplier guarantees, typically one year for perennials and two for shrubs. Our decade-long warranty covers workmanship including soil preparation and planting technique. Any failures due to establishment issues get replaced at no charge.
Absolutely - established plants often anchor new designs beautifully. Careful lifting and replanting, or working around existing root systems, preserves valuable specimens while refreshing surrounding areas. Many Sutton gardens have mature shrubs worth incorporating into updated schemes.
