Pimlico’s garden squares and riverside views deserve outdoor spaces that work for children and adults alike. We design and build family friendly gardens with safe play areas, soft landings and generous lawn space, without losing the refined look many SW1 homes expect. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or a short walk from Pimlico tube station, we tailor layouts to your plot and lifestyle. The result is a garden that’s practical on busy weekdays and brilliant for weekends.
Local homes here often include Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different access and space constraints. Courtyard gardens, raised terraces and compact lawns are common, so we plan carefully for circulation, storage and child-safe boundaries. If you’re in Westminster, Victoria or close to Dolphin Square, we’ll suggest solutions that suit your building style and residents’ needs. That’s why clients looking for family friendly gardens in City of Westminster choose a team that understands these property types.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design plan showing play zones, planting and finishes. Safety comes first: we specify impact-absorbing surfaces, secure edging and robust fixings for trampolines and climbing frames. You’ll receive a written scope, staged programme and tidy working practices to keep disruption low. Homeowners across the family friendly gardens Pimlico area trust us for premium craftsmanship, transparent communication and dependable aftercare.
SW1 gardens often have tight access, basement lightwells, and shared entrances in mansion blocks, so deliveries and waste removal need planning. We schedule around parking restrictions and coordinate where permits are required. Many plots sit on made ground with variable drainage, so we assess levels and specify the right sub-bases for soft surfaces and lawns. Our designs also respect the formal feel of Pimlico’s squares while keeping play areas discreet and safe.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with size, access and how many play features you include. As a guide, a small SW1 courtyard refresh with soft surfacing and planting might start around £4,000–£8,000. A mid-sized garden with new lawn, edging, lighting and a sandpit often falls between £10,000–£25,000. Larger builds with drainage, bespoke joinery, climbing frames or sunken trampolines can be £30,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. A simple lawn and soft-surface play zone can be completed in under a week, while gardens needing drainage, level changes, retaining edges or multiple features (trampoline, climbing frame, growing beds) typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access through mansion blocks, curing times for sub-bases, and weather during turfing or seeding.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including lawns, planting, and most play equipment. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, high boundary treatments, significant level changes, or structures with height/placement limits. In City of Westminster, we also consider party wall matters and management company requirements for mansion blocks. We’ll flag any permissions early and can help you check guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as sub-bases, edging, paving and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, play equipment and lighting. We also give clear care guidance for lawns and planting to help them establish well. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and professionally.
Popular choices include resin-bound or rubber crumb play surfaces, quality turf or shade-tolerant grass seed, and timber or composite edging for clean lines. We can integrate sandpits with fitted covers, in-ground trampolines, and compact climbing frames suited to smaller SW1 plots. Wildlife areas might use native hedging, log piles and pollinator planting, while growing spaces can be raised beds or espaliered fruit. We’ll recommend options based on safety, drainage, style and maintenance.
