When Is the Right Time to Upgrade Your London Garden?
Not sure when to invest in a garden overhaul? If any of these six scenarios sound familiar, it’s time to call Groundteam—the go‑to London landscapers.
6 SIGNS
1. Parking Problems
If nightly parking hunts leave you stressed, converting front gardens into permeable, resin‑bound driveways provides secure off‑street space and can lift property value. Groundteam designs drives that skirt utility lines and keep SuDS inspectors happy.
2. Safety Hazards
Wobbly deck boards, uneven pavers and rotten fences are trip magnets. Replacing timber with composite decking or cedar fencing eliminates splinters and yearly staining.
3. Drainage Disasters
Persistent puddles signal poor grading. Installing French drains beneath new pathway installations diverts water, protecting basements and plant roots.
4. Lifestyle Changes
Hybrid working? Add a cedar pergola and Wi‑Fi‑enabled lighting for an outdoor office. New baby? Opt for artificial turf and child‑safe sleeper beds. Groundteam tailors designs to life’s milestones.
5. Preparing to Sell
Rightmove data shows landscaped gardens boost sale speed and price. Buyers love low‑maintenance patios, smart irrigation and neat driveways—upgrades that recoup costs quickly.
6. Eco Goals
Swap impermeable concrete for resin, add pollinator‑friendly planting and use locally quarried stone to cut carbon miles. Groundteam’s designs blend beauty with biodiversity.
