Victoria’s outdoor spaces often need to work hard, especially around busy routes such as Victoria Street and near Victoria station. We design and build gardens for care settings that prioritise easy movement, clear wayfinding and restful places to sit. From sensory planting to memory garden layouts, every element is chosen to encourage gentle activity and reduce trip risks. The result is a garden residents can enjoy safely in all seasons.
Across SW1 you’ll find mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments, each with different access challenges and courtyard proportions. We’re used to tight side returns, basement lightwells and shared communal gardens where circulation and visibility matter. Our team plans pathways, handrails and seating so they suit mobility aids and carers’ routines. If the space is overlooked or windy, we’ll propose screening and shade structures that still feel open and welcoming.
We start with a site visit, listening to how the garden is used and who it needs to serve. Then we provide a clear design, materials specification and programme, with safety details such as non-slip surfaces, safe boundaries and step-free routes. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption to residents, with tidy working practices and clear communication throughout. Clients trust us because we deliver durable, low-maintenance gardens and stand behind our workmanship.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning around controlled parking, delivery slots and busy pedestrian routes near Westminster and Pimlico. Many properties have limited storage and narrow access points, so we organise materials and waste removal carefully. We also design for urban microclimates—wind funnels between buildings and shaded courtyards—using robust planting and well-placed shade structures. If approvals or building management rules apply, we help you navigate them early.

Costs vary with access, levels, and the safety features required. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with seating, sensory planting and minor path works may start around £6,000–£12,000. More comprehensive care home gardens Victoria area projects with new accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails, lighting and secure boundaries often fall between £15,000–£45,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site survey in SW1.
Timescales depend on size, access and how much hard landscaping is involved. A light upgrade—planting, raised beds and a small seating area—typically takes 1–2 weeks. A full rebuild with new paths, drainage adjustments, handrails, shade structures and boundary works usually takes 3–8 weeks. Lead times can increase if specialist surfaces or bespoke joinery are specified, or if deliveries must be timed around Victoria’s traffic restrictions.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, particularly like-for-like surfacing, planting, and most raised beds and seating. However, care home gardens in City of Westminster can involve boundary changes, lighting, larger shade structures or work to listed buildings and conservation areas, which may need consent. We check constraints, advise on what’s likely to require approval, and can liaise with managing agents or the council where needed before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving installation, retaining details, edging and constructed raised beds (subject to correct use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply to products like pergolas, fixings and specialist surfaces. Planting is living material, so we offer a clear aftercare plan and can include a maintenance package to help establishment. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and transparently.
We tailor layouts to residents’ needs, from looped pathways for gentle walks to memory gardens with clear landmarks. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for low-slip paths, timber or masonry raised beds, ergonomic benches with arms, and pergolas or sail shades. Sensory planting can focus on fragrance, tactile foliage and year-round colour. We’ll present options that balance safety, maintenance and aesthetics, and help you choose finishes suited to SW1 conditions.
