Professional Gardeners
in Crayford
Crayford sits on brickearth, some of the best growing soil in the borough. Most gardens here are not making the most of it. We can change that.
Better Soil Than
You Might Think
Crayford is built on brickearth, a fine silty loam deposited over the underlying gravel and chalk. It is the deposit the local brickmaking industry was founded on, and it is genuinely good growing medium: free-draining, workable, and far kinder than the London Clay a few miles west.
Most Crayford gardens are not exploiting that. The plots tend to be modest Victorian and Edwardian terraced rear gardens near the old centre, with larger interwar plots toward Barnes Cray and the Dartford side, and a great many are default lawn and fence.
With soil this workable, planting schemes establish quickly and borders repay the investment within a season or two rather than five.

What Crayford Gardens
Actually Need
Every area has its own soil, aspect and housing stock, and Crayford is no exception. Here is what shapes the work we do locally.
Workable brickearth soil
Free-draining silty loam that planting establishes into quickly. Border redesigns and planting schemes are a better proposition here than in most of the borough.
Compact terraced plots
No minimum job size. Small gardens near the old centre get the same standard of finish as anything larger.
Hard landscaping
Patios, paths and driveways cleaned, plus fence painting, sleeper work and finishing that pulls the whole plot together.
