Gardener in Deptford
Deptford is a mix of small Victorian terraced gardens and newer flats with courtyards or balconies, and the work here is mostly about making a compact space work.
There is less grass in Deptford than almost anywhere else we cover. A lot of the outdoor space is a courtyard, a paved rear garden, a roof terrace or a strip beside a new-build block. Which does not mean there is no gardening to do — it means the work is weeding, pots, climbers, small shrubs and keeping hard surfaces clean rather than mowing.
Paved and gravelled spaces
Weeds in paving joints and gravel are the main battle. They are quick to deal with on a regular visit and genuinely difficult once they have rooted properly into a joint, which is the argument for coming every month rather than once a year.
Containers
Where there is no soil, pots are the garden. Containers need more attention than beds — they dry out faster, run out of nutrients within a season, and outgrow themselves. Regular visits keep them alive, which is the difference between a courtyard that looks planted and one with four dead things in expensive pots.
Access and parking
Access is the practical issue here more than the horticulture. Some of the newer blocks are awkward to reach with tools and worse to carry waste out of. Tell us the arrangement when you get in touch and we will work out whether it changes anything.
