Gardener in Addiscombe
Addiscombe is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces with modest rear gardens, and those are gardens where consistency counts.
The terraced and semi-detached streets around Addiscombe have gardens of a familiar shape for this part of London: rear plots of a modest size, a small lawn or paved area, borders along the fence lines, and access either through the house or down a shared side path.
Gardens like this are quick to keep and slow to recover, which is the whole argument for a regular visit. Under control, a garden this size is a short fortnightly job. Left for a summer, the same garden is a clearance, with dense growth to cut and no room to work in while cutting it.
Shared access
Some of these streets have side paths shared between two houses. It is rarely a problem but it is worth mentioning when you get in touch, because it affects how we bring tools in and waste out, and occasionally means agreeing something with a neighbour first.
Front gardens
Small front gardens and forecourts are common here and usually neglected, partly because they are small enough to feel not worth booking. Added to a regular rear-garden visit they cost very little and change the whole look of the house from the street.

Questions about this service
Can you do the front as well as the back?
Yes, and on a small terraced front garden it adds very little to a regular visit.
What if access is through a shared alley?
Usually fine. Let us know in advance so we can plan how to get tools in and waste out.
