Soho’s outdoor spaces often sit behind busy streets and compact courtyards, yet they can still offer real therapeutic value. We design care home gardens that support mobility, orientation and relaxation, with features such as handrails, shade structures and memory gardens. From Soho Square to the bustle around Carnaby Street, we plan layouts that feel peaceful without compromising safety. Every element is chosen to be practical for staff and enjoyable for residents.
Our team is used to working around Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions common across W1. In the care home gardens Soho area, access routes can be tight and levels can change quickly between thresholds and terraces. We specify surfaces and gradients that suit wheelchairs and walking aids, while keeping the finish premium and in keeping with period architecture. Designs can be tailored for smaller courtyards near Fitzrovia or more formal spaces closer to Mayfair.
We start with a site survey, resident needs checklist and a clear concept plan, then move into detailed design and build scheduling. You’ll get transparent specifications for accessible pathways, safe boundaries and seating areas, plus a tidy, considerate installation process. Fine Landscaping is trusted for reliable communication, careful workmanship and predictable timelines, even in busy central locations. We also provide aftercare guidance so the garden continues to support wellbeing year-round.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning around controlled parking, delivery windows and limited on-site storage. Soho properties often have narrow entrances and shared access, so we sequence materials and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider urban microclimates—wind tunnels, shade from taller buildings, and heat retention—when choosing planting and shade structures. Our approach keeps the build compliant, safe and practical for ongoing maintenance.

Costs vary with access, levels, and the features required. As a guide, smaller courtyard upgrades with accessible pathways, seating and sensory planting often start from £6,000–£15,000. More comprehensive schemes including raised beds, handrails, safe boundaries, lighting and shade structures typically range from £20,000–£60,000+. Complex sites in W1 with restricted access or structural works can exceed this. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for a focused courtyard refresh, and 4–10 weeks for a full redesign with multiple zones, handrails, raised beds and new paving. Timescales depend on access constraints, demolition needs, drainage, and lead times for specialist items such as bespoke railings or shade structures. In Soho, delivery scheduling and parking permissions can also affect the programme. We provide a clear timeline before work starts.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding raised beds, planting, and installing most seating areas. However, permissions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, higher boundary treatments, significant lighting, or structures with notable height or footprint. In the care home gardens in City of Westminster context, we check constraints early and advise on what’s needed. If approvals are required, we can support drawings and documentation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping workmanship, including paving installation, edging, and built structures such as raised beds and handrail fixings (subject to specification and normal use). Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, composite materials, or shade structures. Planting is covered on an agreed basis, as living materials depend on care and weather. You’ll receive written terms and maintenance guidance at handover.
Popular options include smooth, slip-resistant porcelain or resin-bound paths, warm-toned natural stone, and timber or composite raised beds with comfortable edges. Sensory planting can combine herbs, grasses, textured evergreens and seasonal colour, while memory gardens often use familiar favourites and clear wayfinding cues. Seating can be integrated benches or freestanding chairs with arms, plus pergolas or sail shades for comfort. We match choices to mobility needs, maintenance capacity and the property style.
