Fine Landscaping provides specialist brickwork for Pimlico gardens, courtyards and front approaches, with detailing that complements the area’s classic architecture. Whether you’re upgrading a boundary wall or adding brick planters, we focus on clean lines and durable construction. We regularly work near Tate Britain and around Pimlico tube station, where access and presentation matter. Expect tidy workmanship and a finish that looks right from day one.
Pimlico’s Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions often need brickwork that respects original proportions and materials. We match brick tones and mortar profiles so new work sits comfortably alongside existing façades and garden walls. For properties around Dolphin Square and St George's Square, we also design practical additions such as retaining walls and steps that improve levels and drainage. If you’re in Westminster, Victoria, Chelsea or Vauxhall, we can advise on what performs best for your setting.
Our process starts with a site visit to check levels, foundations, drainage routes and access for materials. You’ll receive a clear scope covering build-up, copings, weep holes where needed, and pointing style, so there are no surprises. We protect surrounding paving and planting, keep the site orderly, and communicate timings throughout. Local homeowners choose us for consistent quality, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working in SW1 often means tight access, controlled parking and careful handling of deliveries. Many Pimlico properties have older walls and mixed substrates, so we assess foundations and movement before building or repointing. We plan around City of Westminster requirements, neighbour considerations and shared boundaries typical of mansion blocks. Where gardens sit above lower ground, we specify retaining details to manage water and pressure properly.

Costs vary by access, brick matching, foundation depth and the type of feature. As a guide, repointing is often £45–£85 per m², depending on mortar type and preparation. Small garden walls commonly start around £900–£2,500, while retaining walls, steps or brick pillars can range from £2,500–£8,000+. Built-in planters, BBQ areas and fire pits typically sit between £1,200–£6,000 based on size and finishes.
Many small jobs, such as repointing a section of wall or building a planter, take 1–3 days. A new garden wall or set of brick steps is usually 3–7 days, while larger retaining walls or multiple features can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on curing time, weather, access restrictions in SW1, and whether we need to excavate for foundations or improve drainage behind a wall.
Most garden brickwork is permitted development, but there are important exceptions in the City of Westminster. Height limits can apply to boundary walls, and listed buildings or conservation considerations may affect materials and detailing. If your property is a period conversion or part of a managed block, you may also need freeholder consent. We’ll flag likely requirements during the survey and can help you confirm the rules before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our brickwork installation, covering workmanship issues such as structural defects, failing joints and problems caused by incorrect build-up. It applies to features like garden walls, retaining walls, pillars, steps, planters, BBQ areas and fire pits when built to our specification. Normal wear, accidental damage and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t covered. We also advise on maintenance to keep pointing and copings looking sharp.
We can source London stocks and similar blends to suit Pimlico’s period character, along with reclaimed bricks where appropriate. Popular design choices include soldier-course or brick-on-edge copings, contrasting piers, recessed panels, and curved planters for softer lines. For fire pits and BBQ areas, we specify heat-resistant linings and robust coping stones. We’ll bring samples, discuss mortar colour and joint profile, and help you choose a finish that complements your home and garden.
