Professional Gardeners
in Foots Cray
Gardens backing onto the Cray and the Meadows deal with damp ground and heavy leaf fall. Planting and lawn care planned around both.
Gardens on
the Cray Valley Floor
Foots Cray sits in the valley of the River Cray, with Foots Cray Meadows and its woodland running along the eastern side. The housing is a mix of older properties near the original village and postwar development spreading out from it.
Proximity to the river is the defining factor. Gardens on the valley floor sit on damper alluvial ground that holds water well into spring, which is excellent for some planting and fatal for the rest. Lawns on the lowest plots can stay soft for months.
The woodland along the Meadows brings heavy autumn leaf fall and steady pressure from bramble, ivy and self-seeded sycamore on the boundaries that back onto it.
Covering Foots Cray (DA14) and the surrounding areas of the Bexley borough and the Cray valley.

What Foots Cray Gardens
Actually Need
Every area has its own soil, aspect and housing stock, and Foots Cray is no exception. Here is what shapes the work we do locally.
Damp valley ground
Soil that holds moisture through winter. Raised beds, improved drainage where it is needed, and planting chosen to suit rather than to struggle.
Boundary pressure from the Meadows
Bramble, ivy and self-seeded saplings pushing in from the woodland. Managed annually it stays routine. Left alone it becomes a clearance.
Autumn leaf clearance
Heavy leaf fall smothers lawns and blocks drainage. Regular autumn visits keep the grass alive through to spring.
