Soft landscaping breathes life into SE26's diverse gardens. Whether you're dealing with shaded spots near the railway cutting or exposed areas typical of higher ground near Forest Hill, the right combination of plants, lawn and mulch transforms any space. Many local gardens struggle with London clay, but selecting appropriate species and preparing soil properly makes all the difference.
Plant selection depends heavily on your garden's unique conditions. North-facing plots common in streets off Mayow Road need shade-tolerant varieties, whilst south-facing gardens towards Bell Green can support Mediterranean species. Proper soil amendment breaks up that stubborn clay, improving drainage and root development. Installing quality turf requires careful ground preparation - something often overlooked when homeowners attempt DIY lawn laying.
Having worked across Sydenham for fifteen years, we understand local soil quirks and microclimates. Our plant suppliers grow specifically for London conditions, ensuring better establishment rates than generic garden centre stock.
