The South West London Gardener

Soft Landscaping Content Hub

You bring a garden to life with soft landscaping: the lawn, borders, shrubs, trees and climbers that soften every fence and wall. On most of our projects we leave this stage until the end. That’s when you start to see how your finished garden will look and feel.

New to the term? Start with our complete guide to soft landscaping, then read about its benefits and our ideas for bringing new life to tired beds. If your lawn has seen better days, our article on rescuing or re-laying a weed-infested lawn helps you decide what to do. Our guide to laying turf in autumn explains why this time of year gives you the best start. You’ll also find advice on sloping gardens, overgrown plots and eco-friendly alternatives to artificial grass.

We plant with a mix of native species and well-chosen favourites that suit your soil and light. We pair the planting with natural hard landscaping so the whole garden feels joined up. Our guide to combining soft and hard landscaping shows how we balance the two in London gardens.
