Let’s face it — life gets busy. Between work, family, and everything in between, keeping up with a high-maintenance garden isn’t always practical. But that doesn’t mean your outdoor space has to look plain or uninspired.

At Wicked Gardens, we specialise in creating beautiful, low-maintenance gardens across Lewisham that are easy to care for, yet full of personality and style. If you’re looking for a garden that looks fantastic all year round without needing constant upkeep, here’s how to get started.

🌿 1. Smart Plant Choices

One of the biggest myths in landscaping is that low-maintenance equals boring. In reality, it’s all about choosing the right plants. We recommend:

• Perennials: These plants return year after year with minimal fuss — think lavender, salvia, and hardy geraniums.

• Evergreens: Add structure and colour in every season. Boxwood, hebe, and holly are great options for UK gardens.

• Ground cover plants: These spread across the soil and suppress weeds naturally — no endless weeding required.

Our designs always take the local Lewisham climate and soil type into account, ensuring your garden thrives with minimal effort.

🪨 2. Easy-Care Surfaces

Forget constantly mowing or battling muddy patches. Swapping out high-maintenance grass for gravel paths, porcelain patios, or composite decking can give your garden a sleek, contemporary look — and reduce your weekend workload.

We use durable, weather-resistant materials that stand up to the British climate and look great year after year.

💧 3. Minimal Irrigation, Maximum Impact

Watering the garden daily? Not ideal. That’s why we design gardens with drought-tolerant plants, mulching, and efficient drainage systems built-in. Want something even smarter? Ask us about integrating automated irrigation to save time and conserve water.

🪴 4. Raised Beds and Planters

Raised beds aren’t just visually appealing — they also reduce the need for bending, weeding, and watering. We can build custom planters or tiered beds that match your garden style and make gardening easier and more enjoyable.

🧼 5. Less Maintenance, More Enjoyment

Every element we include — from outdoor lighting to seating areas — is chosen with your comfort in mind. Low-maintenance doesn’t mean lifeless. With the right design, your garden can be stylish, functional, and easy to manage.

We’ll even provide you with care tips and optional seasonal maintenance support, so you always know what to do (or who to call).
