Victoria is busy, central and highly visible, so a front garden needs to look polished while working hard day to day. We create driveways, pathways, lawns and planting schemes that complement streets around Victoria Street and the approaches to Victoria station. Whether you want a clean contemporary entrance or a softer planted frontage, we’ll balance practicality with design. Expect tidy edges, durable surfaces and thoughtful details such as lighting and bin storage.
Local properties range from mansion blocks and Georgian townhouses to modern apartments with compact forecourts. In Pimlico and Belgravia, we often work with narrow frontages, basement lightwells and shared access routes where every centimetre counts. Our designs prioritise clear routes, secure boundaries and low-maintenance planting that still looks lush. We also match materials to period detailing so new work sits comfortably with existing brick, stone and railings.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption on busy streets. You’ll get transparent specifications for drainage, sub-bases and finishes, plus careful protection of neighbouring areas. Our team is punctual, respectful and keeps the site clean and safe throughout. Fine Landscaping is based 35 minutes away, so support and follow-up are straightforward.
Front gardens in SW1 often face heavy footfall, limited parking and tight delivery access, so logistics matter as much as design. We plan materials drop-offs, waste removal and working hours to suit City of Westminster requirements and your neighbours. Many plots have compact soil areas and service runs near the boundary, so we design planting and lighting with safe clearances. For mansion blocks and townhouses, we also align levels and falls to protect thresholds and reduce surface water issues.

Costs in Victoria vary with access, levels and the mix of hard and soft landscaping. As a guide, a small front refresh (pathway repairs, planting and edging) is often £2,500–£6,000. A new driveway with drainage can be £7,500–£18,000+, while a full redesign with walls, fencing, lighting and bespoke bin storage typically ranges from £12,000–£30,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most front garden projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, groundwork and curing time for bases and mortar. A straightforward pathway and planting scheme may be completed in under a week. Driveways, walls, fencing and lighting usually add time, especially where access is restricted or materials must be carried through. Weather, utility locations and any council requirements can also affect the schedule. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways and surfacing must usually be permeable or drain to a suitable area, not the highway. Planning may be needed in conservation areas, for significant boundary changes, or if you’re altering levels near the pavement. Rules can also apply to walls, railings and lighting. We’ll advise during the survey and can help check City of Westminster guidance so your design stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping, including sub-bases, paving, walls and installed structures, when maintained as advised. This covers defects arising from installation rather than accidental damage or misuse. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products such as lighting and certain paving materials. We also give clear aftercare guidance for planting and lawns to help everything establish properly.
For SW1 frontages, clients often choose porcelain or sandstone paving for crisp pathways, with granite setts or block paving for driveways. Planting tends to favour evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus low-maintenance shrubs suited to urban conditions. For boundaries, brick walls, painted railings and close-board fencing are common, and we can add subtle LED step or path lighting. We’ll bring samples and propose options that suit your building style and budget.
