Garden design in SM6 presents unique opportunities, particularly with the mix of 1930s semis near Roundshaw and the larger Edwardian plots closer to Wallington station. Clay-heavy soil and variable drainage patterns mean plant selection becomes crucial. Years spent working across Wallington have taught us which species flourish despite challenging conditions, from shade-tolerant perennials for north-facing borders to drought-resistant grasses that cope with summer water restrictions.
Soft landscaping encompasses everything from lawn installation to complete planting schemes. Initial soil testing reveals pH levels and drainage characteristics specific to your plot. Based on these findings, appropriate soil amendments get incorporated before any planting begins. Turf selection depends on usage patterns - hard-wearing varieties suit families with children, whilst finer grasses create ornamental lawns for mature gardens.
Long-established relationships with Surrey nurseries mean access to quality plants suited to Wallington's microclimate. Every project receives aftercare guidance tailored to local conditions, ensuring your investment thrives season after season.
