Paddington gardens range from compact courtyards to shared communal spaces, so a well-planned bed makes every square metre count. Whether you’re near Paddington station or closer to Little Venice, we create flower beds that look intentional from day one. Our team handles bed creation, soil preparation and planting design to match your light levels and usage. The result is a cleaner layout, stronger plants and colour that returns season after season.
In the W2 postcodes you’ll find stucco townhouses with raised front gardens, mansion flats with communal borders, and modern apartments around Paddington Basin with balconies and planters. We’re used to working with limited access, stepped entrances and narrow side returns, common around Bayswater and Marylebone. Plant choices are tailored to shade from tall buildings, wind exposure and the need for tidy, low-litter planting. If you want a formal look or a softer cottage style, we’ll shape the bed to suit the property.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss style, and check drainage and sun patterns. Next comes soil improvement, edging and mulching, then careful planting with perennials, annuals and bulbs for reliable seasonal colour. We work cleanly, protect paving and communal areas, and leave you with a clear care plan. Homeowners choose us for consistent standards, transparent options and a finish that still looks sharp months later.
Paddington sites often have mixed ground conditions, from compacted builder’s soil to tired borders in communal gardens. Access can be tight near Maida Vale and Hyde Park, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. We also factor in City of Westminster expectations for keeping frontages tidy and safe, especially where paths are shared. Our bed construction and mulching choices are selected to cope with urban heat, wind tunnels and intermittent shade.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant specification. As a guide, small bed refreshes with soil improvement and planting often start around £450–£900. New bed creation with edging, soil preparation, mulching and a fuller planting design is commonly £1,200–£3,500+. Larger or multiple borders for townhouse gardens or communal areas can be £4,000–£10,000+, particularly with premium plants and irrigation add-ons.
Most small flower bed projects take 1 day, including soil preparation, planting and mulching. Medium gardens typically need 2–3 days, especially if we’re forming new beds, improving drainage or removing old shrubs. Larger townhouse gardens or communal borders may take 4–7 days depending on access and waste clearance. Timescales also depend on plant availability, weather, and whether you want phased seasonal planting.
Flower beds are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission, as they’re considered soft landscaping. However, rules can change if you’re altering boundary walls, railings, levels, or working in a listed building or conservation area (common in parts of W2). For communal gardens, freeholder or managing agent approval may be needed. We’ll flag likely constraints during the visit and help you check requirements before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install as part of the bed build, such as edging and ground preparation standards. Planting is living material, so performance depends on watering, weather and site conditions; we’ll recommend suitable species and provide aftercare guidance to maximise success. If anything looks wrong soon after installation, we’ll inspect and advise promptly.
We can create formal or informal beds with options such as steel edging, brick soldier courses, stone setts, or clean spade-cut edges. Planting can focus on perennials for longevity, annuals for instant colour, and bulbs for spring impact, with evergreen structure where needed. We’ll design for your aspect and maintenance preference, then select a palette that suits your building style and complements existing paving and fencing.
