Mayfair gardens often sit behind impressive façades yet need clever, space-efficient design. Whether you’re near Berkeley Square or along Mount Street, we create back gardens that balance privacy, greenery and entertaining. Expect clean detailing, premium materials and planting that looks good year-round. Our team integrates patios, lawns, structures and lighting so everything works together.
Local properties range from Georgian mansions and palatial townhouses to luxury apartments with courtyard gardens. In the Mayfair area, we frequently design layouts that maximise usable space without losing a sense of tranquillity. We’re used to narrow side access, shared boundaries and sensitive finishes that suit period architecture. Planting plans are tailored for shade, wind funnelling and urban warmth typical of W1 streets.
We start with a site survey, concept design and a clear, itemised specification before any work begins. You’ll get a realistic programme, tidy working practices and careful coordination of deliveries to minimise disruption. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 40 minutes away, so aftercare and follow-up visits are straightforward. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
Back gardens in City of Westminster often involve restricted access, controlled parking and timed deliveries, so we plan logistics in advance. Many Mayfair plots are shaded by tall buildings, which affects lawn choice and planting performance. We specify robust sub-bases for patios and ensure drainage is managed to protect neighbouring properties. Where needed, we coordinate with building managers for apartment blocks and mews-style access routes.

Costs vary with access, specification and finishes, but Mayfair projects typically start from £12,000–£25,000 for a focused refresh (patio, planting, lighting). A full redesign with premium paving, decking, fencing, lawn works and bespoke structures is often £30,000–£80,000+. Courtyard gardens can be cost-efficient, while complex drainage, stone detailing and high-end joinery will raise budgets.
Most back garden landscaping takes 2–6 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. Smaller courtyard upgrades can be completed in 1–2 weeks, while larger townhouses with multiple zones, structures, lighting and water features may take 8–12 weeks. Lead times for stone, bespoke joinery and specialist lighting also affect schedules. Restricted access and delivery windows in W1 can extend programmes slightly.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, decking at low levels, planting and like-for-like fencing. However, City of Westminster rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas and works affecting boundary heights, drainage or external lighting. If you’re near sensitive frontages or in a managed building, approvals may also be required. We check constraints early and advise on permissions before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues such as paving movement caused by incorrect sub-base build-up, poor jointing, or faulty installation of structures and fencing. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like lighting, composite decking and pumps for water features. We also offer practical aftercare guidance for lawns and planting to help everything establish properly.
Popular choices include large-format porcelain or natural stone paving, hardwood or composite decking, and evergreen screening with layered planting for privacy. For structures, clients often choose slim pergolas, built-in seating and discreet storage. Lighting tends to be low-glare: step lights, uplighters and warm path lighting. Water features range from rills to reflective bowls. We present samples, 3D visuals where helpful, and specify options to suit your architecture and maintenance preferences.
