Soho homes and conversions deserve front gardens that look sharp and work hard. Whether you’re near Soho Square or walking distance from Carnaby Street, we create entrances that handle footfall, deliveries and city life without losing their charm. Expect crisp pathways, well-structured planting and lighting that improves safety after dark. Every scheme is designed to complement the building and the street scene.
Across W1 we regularly work on Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions where space is tight and detailing matters. Many front gardens need better drainage, cleaner access to the door, and a layout that hides bins without blocking the pavement. We also design around basement lightwells, railings, steps and existing boundary walls. The result is a front garden that feels intentional rather than improvised.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design options, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Our team handles excavation, waste removal and tidy handover, with materials chosen for longevity in an urban setting. You’ll receive a written specification, transparent staging, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, neat finishes and a front garden that stays looking good.
Working in the City of Westminster often means narrow access, controlled parking and strict timing for deliveries and skips. We plan logistics in advance and keep sites compact and orderly, ideal for busy streets around Leicester Square and Fitzrovia. Ground conditions can vary, so we prioritise proper sub-bases, drainage and permeable options where needed. Designs also respect period façades and existing railings common across Soho.

Costs in Soho vary with access, levels and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, planting refreshes and edging can start from £1,500–£4,000. New pathways, lighting and fencing typically fall around £5,000–£15,000. Full front garden rebuilds with driveway works, walls and bespoke bin storage commonly range from £15,000–£40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. A simple path and planting scheme may be completed within a week, while driveway construction with drainage, walls, lighting and joinery for bin storage can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access restrictions, material lead times, curing periods for concrete, and any underpinning around lightwells. We agree a schedule before work begins.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but there are key exceptions in the City of Westminster. New or altered driveways may need permeable surfacing or drainage to a suitable soakaway, and listed buildings or conservation areas can add restrictions on walls, railings and paving choices. We check the relevant guidance, advise on compliant materials, and can help you prepare information for the council if an application is required.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our landscaping installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by poor sub-base preparation, faulty laying of paving, and defects in constructed walls, fencing and drainage works. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for items like lighting fixtures and certain paving products. We also offer practical aftercare guidance for planting and lawns, plus a snagging visit where agreed to ensure everything performs as intended.
In Soho, homeowners often choose porcelain or natural stone paving for clean lines, with granite setts or brick edging to suit period façades. For driveways, permeable block paving and resin-bound gravel are popular where suitable. Planting tends towards structured evergreens, shade-tolerant perennials and small feature trees in raised beds. We can integrate low-glare lighting, smart gates, timber or metal bin stores, and matching walls or railings to complete the look.
