Victorian terraces along Brigstock Road often surprise newcomers with their generous rear gardens, though decades of neglect can leave soil exhausted. Modern developments near the station present different challenges - fresh topsoil over building rubble rarely supports healthy growth. Understanding these local quirks shapes every planting scheme, from drought-tolerant perennials for south-facing plots to shade-loving ferns tucked behind boundary walls.
Soil improvement forms the foundation of lasting results across CR7. Heavy London clay requires careful amendment with organic matter, while sandy patches near Grangewood Park need moisture-retentive additions. Plant selection considers maintenance levels too - busy commuters appreciate self-sustaining borders, whilst keen gardeners might prefer seasonal displays. Lawn establishment follows similar principles, matching grass varieties to usage patterns and shade levels.
Twenty years working Thornton Heath's varied gardens brings invaluable perspective. Long-term residents trust recommendations based on actual performance in local conditions, not catalogue promises.
