Pimlico’s elegant streets deserve front gardens that look considered, not cluttered. We design and build refined entrances with crisp pathways, strong boundary lines and planting that suits the setting. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or walking distance from Pimlico tube station, we’ll help your frontage feel welcoming and practical. Expect workmanship that complements the architecture and stands up to daily use.
The Pimlico area includes Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different constraints at the front. Narrow frontages often need clever layout planning to balance access, bins and greenery. We regularly work across SW1 and nearby Westminster and Victoria, matching materials to existing brickwork, railings and stone details. The result is a frontage that feels original to the property, not bolted on.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, followed by a tidy, well-managed build. We handle excavation, drainage, levels and finishes with care, keeping neighbours and shared access in mind. You’ll get transparent schedules, material samples and regular updates throughout. Local homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent quality control and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Front gardens in the City of Westminster often come with tight access, controlled parking and busy pedestrian routes, so deliveries and waste removal must be planned carefully. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, railings and shallow thresholds common in Pimlico. Ground conditions can vary, so we check levels and drainage to prevent pooling near entrances. Where required, we coordinate with council guidance and keep the site clean and considerate.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh (tidy-up, small planting, edging and minor repairs) often starts around £1,500–£3,500. A mid-range rebuild with new paving/pathways, planting and lighting is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Full front transformations including driveway works, walls/fencing and bespoke bin storage can be £15,000–£35,000+ in SW1, especially with restricted access.
Most projects in Pimlico take 3–10 working days, depending on what’s being built. A planting-and-pathway upgrade may be completed within a week, while driveway installation, walling and lighting typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access for materials, waste removal, curing times for concrete and pointing, and any specialist items such as railings or bespoke joinery. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Many front garden improvements are permitted, but there are key rules to follow in the City of Westminster. Driveways must use permeable surfacing or include suitable drainage to avoid runoff to the highway. Boundary walls, railings and changes near listed buildings or conservation areas can require consent. We flag likely permissions early, check relevant guidance, and can work with your architect or the council where an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our front garden landscaping, covering issues arising from installation such as paving movement due to poor sub-base preparation, faulty pointing, or drainage defects. Materials are also covered by the relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, lighting components or paving products). The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and we’ll explain care requirements for planting, lawns and finishes at handover.
For Pimlico properties, popular choices include natural stone or porcelain paving for pathways, clay pavers to echo period brickwork, and resin-bound or permeable block paving for driveways. Planting often leans towards structured evergreens, seasonal perennials and shade-tolerant options for north-facing plots. We can add low walls, railings, timber or composite fencing, and warm-white lighting for steps and entrances. We help you choose options that suit the façade, budget and maintenance level.
