Soho gardens often need to work harder: compact footprints, overlooked boundaries and busy surroundings. We design family spaces that feel calm and practical, whether you’re near Soho Square or walking distance from Carnaby Street. From lawn pockets for games to dedicated play corners, every element is planned for safety and easy supervision. The result is a garden that supports everyday routines, not just occasional weekends.
In the Soho area you’ll find Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions with courtyards, roof terraces and small rear gardens. These spaces benefit from clever zoning, built-in storage and materials that cope with heavy use. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, shared walls and limited access routes. Our designs keep maintenance realistic while still delivering a premium finish.
We start with a site visit to understand how your family uses the space, then produce a clear concept and specification. Safety comes first: stable edging, non-slip surfaces, secure gates and child-friendly planting choices. We schedule deliveries to minimise disruption and keep the site tidy throughout. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable timelines and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
Soho sites can involve tight access, controlled parking and strict delivery windows, especially around W1 streets near Fitzrovia and Leicester Square. We plan logistics in advance and use materials that can be brought through narrow passages or lifted safely when required. Drainage and levels are checked carefully to prevent water pooling in compact courtyards. Where council guidance applies in City of Westminster, we help you stay compliant from the outset.

Costs vary with size, access and the amount of construction required. As a guide in Soho, a small courtyard refresh with soft surfacing and simple planting might start around £4,000–£8,000. A more complete family garden with new paving, lawn, lighting and play features often falls between £12,000–£30,000+. Bespoke structures, drainage upgrades or restricted access can increase the budget.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for smaller gardens and 3–6 weeks for full redesigns. Timescales depend on access in W1, the amount of groundwork, curing times for concrete bases, and whether you’re adding items like climbing frames, trampolines or bespoke joinery. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated if weather or deliveries affect sequencing.
Most garden landscaping and typical play equipment is permitted development, so planning permission isn’t usually required. However, City of Westminster rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments, and raised platforms close to neighbours. If your property is a conversion or has shared freehold arrangements, additional approvals may apply. We check constraints early and advise on what permissions, if any, are needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for eligible installations, covering issues such as structural failure due to installation faults. Materials (like paving, turf or play surfacing) are also covered by relevant manufacturer guarantees where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate maintenance, and excludes accidental damage or third-party alterations. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work begins.
Popular choices include durable porcelain or sandstone for seating areas, artificial or hard-wearing natural turf for lawn zones, and rubber mulch or wet-pour for soft play surfaces. We can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground trampolines, climbing frames, wildlife corners and raised growing beds. Planting can be child-friendly and low-allergen where possible. We help you balance safety, style, maintenance and budget with samples and clear specifications.
