Islington's gardens are among the most intensively used in London. The borough's dense Victorian terraces and Georgian townhouses typically have small rear gardens — often 5–10 metres deep — that homeowners invest in heavily to create outdoor rooms and entertaining spaces. Patio installation and raised bed construction are the two most-requested hard landscaping jobs in N1 and N5, driven by the popularity of outdoor dining and urban growing. Access is a frequent challenge: many Islington terrace gardens can only be reached through the house, which affects the type of machinery and materials that can be used.
Community gardening is a strong tradition in Islington, with Barnard Park, Highbury Fields, and numerous communal gardens providing green space that supplements private plots. Raised vegetable beds are particularly popular among Islington residents — growing salad, herbs, and soft fruit in compact beds suited to the borough's limited space. Georgian townhouse gardens in Barnsbury and Canonbury often call for more formal planting schemes — clipped box hedging, standard topiary, and symmetrical planting that respects the architectural period of the property.
