Westminster gardens often sit behind elegant façades, yet many are underused or difficult to maintain. Our team designs and builds practical, beautiful spaces across SW1, from Pimlico courtyards to terraces near Victoria. Whether you want a new patio for entertaining or a full rebuild, we combine hard and soft landscaping for a finished look. We regularly work close to Westminster Abbey and St James's Park, so we understand the standards expected locally.
The City of Westminster includes Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, each with different access and structural considerations. We’re used to tight side returns, basement lightwells and raised terraces that need careful levels and drainage. For period properties, we can match traditional detailing with sympathetic materials; for modern developments, we create clean, architectural layouts. Planting plans are tailored to shade, wind and privacy needs common in central London gardens.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and a clear proposal covering scope, materials and programme. Your project is managed end-to-end: garden clearance, groundwork, build, planting and final snagging. We protect communal areas, keep neighbours informed where needed, and leave the site clean each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, proven workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Westminster sites often involve restricted access, controlled parking and strict waste removal rules, especially around Whitehall and SW1. We plan deliveries, loading and skips carefully and can use smaller machinery where access is limited. Many gardens sit over basements or near party walls, so we build with appropriate sub-bases, drainage and protection measures. If works affect boundaries, trees or listed features, we help you navigate the right approvals.

Costs vary with access, groundworks and specification. As a guide in Westminster, garden clearance may start from £350–£1,200, while patios or decking commonly range from £120–£250 per m² depending on materials and sub-base. A full garden build with walls, fencing, lighting-ready ducting and planting often falls between £15,000–£60,000+. We provide an itemised quotation after a site visit.
Timescales depend on size, access and complexity. Small courtyard upgrades (clearance, new paving and planting) typically take 1–2 weeks. Medium projects with fencing, walls and multiple levels are often 3–6 weeks. Full rebuilds with drainage, bespoke joinery, water features and extensive planting can take 6–10+ weeks. Lead times may increase if specialist stone, joinery or council permissions are required.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting, or installing like-for-like fencing within height limits. However, Westminster has conservation areas and listed buildings, and rules can apply to boundary walls, railings, tree works, lighting, and drainage changes affecting the highway. We’ll flag likely constraints early, check guidance where relevant, and recommend when you should seek formal approval before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship on items such as patios, paving sub-bases, retaining structures and installed timber or composite decking (subject to correct use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like slabs, composite boards, pumps and liners. We also complete a snagging visit at handover and remain available for aftercare advice and maintenance options.
We offer a wide range to suit Georgian townhouses and modern apartments alike: porcelain paving, Yorkstone-style flags, resin-bound surfacing, hardwood or composite decking, brick or rendered walls, acoustic fencing, and tailored planting schemes. Water features can be subtle (rills, bowls) or statement pieces with recirculating pumps. We guide you through samples, maintenance needs and slip resistance, then design around shade, privacy and entertaining space.
