Westminster gardens often need to do more with less space, especially around Victoria and Pimlico. We create practical layouts that include safe play areas, soft surfaces and lawn space without sacrificing style. Whether you’re a short walk from Westminster Abbey or close to St James’s Park, we’ll tailor the garden to how your family actually uses it. The result is a calm, durable outdoor room that works year-round.
Our team regularly builds family friendly gardens Westminster area homeowners can rely on, from compact courtyard plots to wider rear gardens. Many properties here are Georgian townhouses with long, narrow gardens, plus mansion flats and luxury apartments with terraces that benefit from clever zoning. We plan for privacy, shade patterns and overlooked boundaries common in central London. Every design balances play, planting and easy maintenance.
We start with a site visit to understand access, levels and how children move through the space. You’ll receive a clear design proposal, material options and a build programme before work begins. During installation we keep the site tidy, manage deliveries, and prioritise safe edges, non-slip finishes and robust fixings. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, premium workmanship and a 10-year warranty on our installation.
Working across the City of Westminster means planning for tight access, controlled parking and timed deliveries, particularly around SW1. Many gardens sit behind period façades with steps, basements and retaining walls, so levels and drainage need careful detailing. We also factor in neighbour proximity, party walls and noise-sensitive schedules. Where required, we liaise with managing agents and follow local council expectations for waste removal and site safety.

Costs vary with size, access and the features you choose. In Westminster, a small redesign with lawn, soft surfacing and planting is often £6,000–£15,000. Mid-sized gardens with play equipment bases, lighting and irrigation commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger builds including level changes, bespoke joinery, trampolines or climbing frames can be £35,000–£70,000+. We’ll itemise options so you can prioritise spend.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for straightforward upgrades such as turfing, soft surfaces and simple play zones. More involved builds with drainage, retaining work, new paving, lighting and custom carpentry typically run 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access in SW1, curing times for concrete bases, and lead times for equipment like trampolines or climbing frames. We provide a programme and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as lawns, planting, low decking and most play equipment. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments, substantial level changes, and structures close to neighbours. In the City of Westminster we check the relevant guidance, assess your site, and advise if a planning application or landlord/managing agent approval is likely. We can also supply drawings to support permissions.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as settlement-related defects, unstable edging, and failures caused by incorrect fitting. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, lighting, membranes and play equipment, and we’ll register these where required. The warranty assumes normal use and appropriate care, and we’ll explain maintenance steps to protect lawns, timber and soft surfaces.
Popular choices include durable porcelain paving for clean zones, resin-bound or rubber crumb for soft-surface areas, and hard-wearing turf or premium artificial grass for year-round play. We can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground trampolines, climbing frames, raised beds for growing spaces, and wildlife areas with native planting and bug hotels. We’ll help you choose finishes based on slip resistance, drainage, shade, and how much maintenance you want.
