Paddington gardens often need smart planning to make the most of compact footprints and overlooked boundaries. Whether you’re near Paddington Station or walking distance from Little Venice, we design back gardens that feel calmer, greener and more private. Expect crisp levels, durable surfaces and planting that performs in shade or sun. We can combine patios, lawns and lighting to create a space you’ll use from spring through autumn.
In the Paddington area you’ll find stucco townhouses with long, narrow plots, mansion flats with shared rear spaces, and modern apartments needing terrace-style landscaping. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, raised thresholds and existing drainage runs. Our designs suit period detailing as well as contemporary finishes, keeping lines clean and materials consistent. If your garden backs onto neighbouring blocks, we’ll also factor in screening and sound-softening planting.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels, and discuss how you want to use the garden. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering groundwork, materials, planting and aftercare, with options to suit different budgets. Our team manages deliveries, tidy working practices and respectful neighbour liaison, which matters on W2 streets. Every build is finished to a snag-free standard and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Access can be tight around Bayswater and Marylebone, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Many properties have limited rear access, communal areas or strict leaseholder requirements, and we’re used to coordinating with managing agents. Ground conditions vary, but drainage and levels are common challenges in built-up W2 gardens, especially near basement conversions. We also keep an eye on City of Westminster considerations, including lighting spill and boundary treatments.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification. For Paddington gardens, a refresh with planting, turf repairs and minor paving typically starts around £3,000–£8,000. A mid-range build with new patio, fencing and lighting is often £10,000–£25,000. Full transformations with drainage works, decking/structures and premium stone can be £25,000–£60,000+. We provide itemised options after a site survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once work starts. A straightforward patio and lawn can be completed in 5–10 working days, while builds involving level changes, drainage, decking, structures and lighting are commonly 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in W2), curing time for concrete bases, and lead times for bespoke fencing or joinery. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated daily.
Many back garden works are permitted development, such as replacing paving, installing decking at low height, adding planting, and putting up typical boundary fencing (subject to height rules). However, City of Westminster can have extra considerations for listed buildings, conservation areas, new outbuildings, significant level changes, or lighting near neighbouring windows. We check constraints at survey stage and can advise on permissions, party wall matters and any approvals needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation defects such as unstable paving, poor falls, or fixings failing under normal use. Materials are also covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, composite decking or lighting components). The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of basic maintenance. We also complete a snagging visit to ensure everything is finished properly.
We tailor designs to your property style and how you use the space. Popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, composite or hardwood decking, evergreen screening, and structured planting with grasses and shade-tolerant shrubs. For features, we can add pergolas, built-in seating, discreet storage, garden lighting, and compact water features suited to courtyards. We’ll bring samples, explain pros and cons, and help you choose finishes that age well in London conditions.
