In the City of Westminster you’ll find Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, each with different constraints and opportunities. We’re used to narrow frontages, basement lightwells, shared access routes and strict visual expectations. Our team specifies materials and planting that suit formal elevations, railings, and period brickwork. If you’re in Victoria or Pimlico, we can tailor the design to match the character of your street.
Our process starts with a site visit and clear design options, followed by a fixed, itemised quotation. We manage groundworks, drainage, paving, walls, fencing, lawns, planting and electricals for garden lighting with tidy, well-sequenced scheduling. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact and photo updates, plus practical aftercare advice. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, respectful neighbours-first working, and a 10-year warranty.
Front garden landscaping Westminster area often involves tight access, controlled parking, and careful waste management. We plan deliveries around SW1 restrictions and keep footways clear and safe. Many properties sit over basements or have shallow build-ups, so we assess levels, drainage and load requirements before starting. Where the council or building management has rules, we help you stay compliant and avoid rework.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification. As a guide in Westminster, a refresh with new planting, edging and minor path works often starts around £2,500–£6,000. A mid-sized scheme with new paving, lighting and fencing is commonly £8,000–£18,000. Full front garden rebuilds including driveway, walls and drainage can be £20,000–£45,000+ depending on materials and complexity.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are on site. A simple pathway, lawn and planting can be completed in under a week, while a driveway with drainage, walls, fencing and lighting may take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access in SW1, waste removal, curing time for concrete, and any specialist items such as bespoke railings or stone paving lead times.
Many front garden works are permitted development, but Westminster has extra considerations such as conservation areas, listed buildings, and rules around paving over front gardens. Driveways may need permeable surfacing or proper drainage to meet SuDS guidance, and dropped kerbs require council approval. We’ll advise what’s likely required, check constraints early, and can coordinate drawings and specifications to support any applications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, driveways, walls, fencing structures and installed drainage, provided the area is used as intended and maintained sensibly. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like lighting fixtures and certain paving brands. We also offer a snagging visit after completion to address any settling issues and ensure everything performs properly.
We design to suit period and contemporary properties, using options such as porcelain paving, Yorkstone-style sandstone, granite setts, resin-bound surfacing, and clay pavers. For boundaries we can build brick walls, render finishes, timber or composite fencing, and metal railings where appropriate. Planting can be formal evergreen structure or softer seasonal mixes. We’ll present samples, 2–3 layout options, and a lighting plan to match your budget and style.
