Streatham is our home turf — our base sits in SW16 — so local gardens get our fastest response and our most local knowledge. The range is wide: up around Telford Park and Streatham Hill the larger period houses have big, established gardens with lawns, long borders and mature hedging that reward a thorough regular round, while the Victorian and Edwardian terraces off the High Road and around the Common run to the long, narrow rear gardens typical of the period, many now shared between an upper and lower flat and quick to run wild if left between tenants.
A huge share of Streatham's terraces have been converted, so shared rear gardens are everyday work — mown and kept tidy by arrangement between the flats or with the managing agent — and the mansion blocks and purpose-built flats along the High Road carry communal grounds and borders to keep neat. We cut back the overgrown ones, mow and edge the lawns, weed the borders, clear the side returns of moss and pressure-wash the paths and patios that have gone green and slippery. The same round runs down Mitcham Lane, Leigham Court Road and out to Streatham Vale.
Streatham Common and the ornamental Rookery gardens are right here, so seasonal leaf fall and growth are a constant, and we plan the heavier clearances around them. One-off reset or standing schedule, we take the green waste with us and clear the gutters and rainwater goods before autumn blockages cause damp. With one of London's longest high streets and a heavy concentration of letting agents, we do plenty of between-tenancy garden tidies alongside the regular homeowner rounds.

Why Streatham homes and landlords rely on us for garden care
Being based in SW16, Streatham is the area we know best and reach quickest, and the gardens run the full gamut. The large period houses up around Telford Park and Streatham Hill are the ones that genuinely need regular, thorough maintenance — full lawns, deep borders, mature hedges and shrubs — and we hold them to a high standard on a standing schedule through the seasons rather than letting them get away.
Down the hill, the converted terraces off Streatham High Road, Gleneagle Road and Sunnyhill Road are the classic South London arrangement — a long, thin back garden split between flats, quick to overgrow and easy for nobody to own. We reset these and keep them trimmed, working to an arrangement between the flats, and we keep the communal grounds around the mansion blocks and purpose-built flats on the High Road mown, edged and neat.
Streatham Common and the walled Rookery gardens sit at the heart of the area, and the tree cover through the surrounding streets means heavy autumn leaf fall on lawns, paths and in gutters. Being on the doorstep, we can stay ahead of it. From a big Telford Park garden held to a high finish to a small paved yard behind a converted flat, we match the work to the space and clear it all away.

Gardening in Streatham — FAQs
How quickly can you get to a job in Streatham?
Streatham is where we are based, so we can usually get to local jobs quickly — often the same day for smaller repairs, depending on our schedule.
Do you know the older properties common in Streatham?
Yes. Many Streatham homes are Victorian or Edwardian conversions, and we are used to the quirks that come with them — from original woodwork to older plumbing.
Do you look after converted flats and mansion blocks in Streatham?
Yes. A lot of Streatham's Victorian and Edwardian terraces have been split into flats, and there are mansion blocks and purpose-built flats along the High Road. We are used to the shared soil stacks, communal plumbing and older pipework that come with them.
Do you work on the larger period houses around Streatham Hill and Telford Park?
We do. The bigger houses up towards Streatham Hill and Telford Park often need sympathetic upkeep — sash windows, tired plaster, redecoration and older heating — and we handle that everyday work with one team covering every trade.
Do you offer regular visits or one-off jobs?
Both. We can arrange regular maintenance to keep a garden under control, or a one-off tidy-up and clearance to get an overgrown space back to its best.
Do you clear away the waste?
Yes, we can remove green waste and clippings so you are left with a tidy, finished garden. Just let us know when you book.
Do you help landlords keep rental gardens tidy?
We do — regular or between-tenancy garden maintenance is a popular request from landlords and agents who want properties to show well.
Do you clear overgrown or neglected gardens?
Yes. A one-off clearance is one of our most common jobs — we cut back the overgrowth, clear the beds and borders and take the waste away, then you can keep it up or leave it to us.
Can you pressure-wash paths and patios?
Yes. We pressure-wash paths, patios and decking to lift off green growth and dirt, which also makes slippery surfaces safer underfoot.
Do you keep gutters and outdoor drainage clear?
We can clear leaves and debris from gutters and rainwater goods as part of seasonal upkeep, so blockages do not cause damp or overflow.
