Landscaping in Totton

Landscaping for Totton's gardens

Totton is a large suburban settlement that grew rapidly in the post-war period, and the majority of its housing stock consists of 1950s to 1980s detached and semi-detached homes with modest but manageable gardens. The proximity to the New Forest means many residents aspire to gardens that feel like a natural extension of the surrounding woodland, and planting with native species, gravel paths and log borders suits the area perfectly. Drainage can be an issue on lower-lying streets close to the River Test and Bartley Water.

The majority of Totton's residential gardens are practical, family-sized plots that benefit from hard landscaping solutions like block paving, timber decking or poured concrete to create year-round usable space. Being so close to the New Forest, many clients want us to frame their gardens with native hedging and woodland-edge planting.
