The South West London Gardener

Garden Design Content Hub

You probably know the feeling. You stand at the back door with a coffee, look out at a lawn that slopes the wrong way and a patio nobody sits on, and you can’t picture what the space could become. We hear some version of that on most first visits across Wandsworth, Putney, Wimbledon and Twickenham.

We wrote these guides for that moment. You’ll find advice on making a narrow terraced garden feel wider and working with a slope. They also cover checking whether you need planning permission and setting a realistic budget before you speak to anyone. If you’re getting ready to hire help, start with our piece on writing a design brief. With a clear brief in hand, we can quote you accurately the first time.

Our team wrote each article from gardens we’ve designed and built in South West London. The advice fits London soil, London boundary walls and neighbours who can see into your plot from an upstairs window. Read a few, save the ideas you like, and bring them along to your consultation.

You can also skip the reading and talk it through with us. Our designers will visit, listen to how you want to use the space and draw up a plan around the way you live. See how our garden design service works from first visit to finished build.
