An aerial view of a small wooden deck with cushioned chairs, a low sofa and potted plants.

Small gardens, looked after properly

We look after back gardens, roof terraces and front yards in Hackney, Islington and Haringey. Most are smaller than a tennis court's service box. All of them deserve better than a strimmer once a year.

A modern white house with a neat lawn, stairs and green planted terraces.

Why choose Backplot

A white table and chairs set out on a lawn beside flowering plants.
  • Same two faces

    Ruth and Kwame, every visit. No rota, no subcontractors.

  • Nothing left behind

    All green waste leaves in the cargo bike and goes to a community compost in Clapton.

  • Built for small spaces

    Kit that goes through a house, not round the side. Dust sheets in the hallway, always.

  • A fixed price

    Agreed after the garden walk and the same every visit, rain or shine.

What our gardens' owners say

A curving brick path beside a raised bed of flowers and shrubs.
"Our garden is four metres by six. Backplot treats it like it's Kew."Hannah Price, Stoke Newington
A garden path between drifts of white and purple flowers.
"They planted for shade and for the cat. Both are thriving."Marcus Bell, De Beauvoir
A terraced garden with stone steps, a rope handrail and dense planting.
"The steps were lost under brambles. Now we eat breakfast on them."Priya Nair, Highbury
A gardener in green work clothes pushing a wheelbarrow across a lawn, a second gardener behind. A wheelbarrow on a lawn beside a curved metal shed and flowering shrubs.

Before the first visit

Through the house, a side gate or over a wall. If it is through the house, we bring dust sheets.
You do not need to be home
Many clients leave a key or a gate code. We text when we arrive and when we leave.
We take everything away
No brown bins needed. Clippings go to compost, not landfill.
