Westminster gardens often sit behind beautiful façades, yet they need smart planning to make the most of limited space and privacy. Whether you’re near Westminster Abbey or based around Victoria, we create back gardens that work for entertaining, relaxing and everyday family life. Our team combines clean lines with soft planting to complement the area’s historic architecture. The result is a garden that looks considered from every window.
We regularly work across Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, where access can be tight and neighbours are close. In the back garden landscaping Westminster area, we’re used to courtyard layouts, basement lightwells, raised terraces and awkward level changes. We design with drainage, shade and overlooking in mind, so lawns, planting and seating areas thrive. Every scheme is tailored to your building’s character and how you want to use the space.
Our process starts with a measured survey and a clear design proposal, then a staged build plan you can rely on. We manage groundworks, paving, carpentry, electrics for lighting and final planting, keeping the site safe and tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us for transparent communication, premium materials and consistent finishing. You’ll also receive aftercare guidance so your new garden beds in quickly and stays looking sharp.
The City of Westminster brings unique constraints: controlled parking, timed deliveries and narrow access routes, especially around Whitehall and SW1 streets. We plan logistics early, protect communal areas, and use efficient spoil removal to keep disruption low. Many gardens sit in shade from taller buildings, so we select resilient planting and adjust lawn specifications accordingly. Where properties are listed or in conservation areas, we help you navigate what’s appropriate before work begins.

Costs vary with access, levels and specification. As a guide in Westminster, a small courtyard refresh with paving and planting may start around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-size gardens with a new patio, fencing, lighting and planting commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger, high-spec builds including decking, structures and water features can be £40,000+. A site visit lets us price accurately for SW1 logistics and materials.
Most projects in Westminster take 2–6 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A simple patio and fencing job can be completed in 1–2 weeks, while full redesigns with drainage, lighting, structures and planting typically need 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access, skip permits, curing time for concrete, and bespoke items such as joinery or metalwork. We provide a realistic programme before starting.
Many back garden improvements—patios, decking at low height, planting, and like-for-like fencing—are often permitted development. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, higher decking, large outbuildings, and work affecting boundaries. In the City of Westminster we also consider party wall matters and local restrictions. We’ll flag likely permissions early, advise on compliant designs, and can support you with the information needed for applications.
