If your project starts with uneven ground, poor drainage or limited access, professional groundworks make the difference. We carry out Garden Groundworks in Victoria for homeowners near Victoria Station, Victoria Street and across SW1. Expect careful excavation, levelling and grading that sets patios, lawns and paths up properly. We also manage waste removal so your site stays safe and organised.
Victoria’s mix of mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments often brings tight rear access, basement levels and shared boundaries. In Pimlico and Belgravia, we regularly prepare compact courtyards and long, narrow gardens where accurate levels matter. For St James’s properties, we plan logistics to minimise disruption to neighbours and communal areas. Our team is used to working around existing services, lightwells and older structures.
We begin with a site visit to confirm levels, drainage routes and any foundation requirements for your build. You’ll receive a clear scope of works covering site clearance, excavation, access planning and responsible disposal. We protect surrounding surfaces, keep noise and dust controlled, and leave the site ready for the next trade. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly and stand behind the work with written guarantees.
Ground conditions in the City of Westminster can vary, with made ground, old drainage runs and shallow services common around mansion blocks. Access is often restricted, so we plan deliveries, loading and waste removal to suit SW1 parking controls. Where gardens sit above basements or vaults, we adjust excavation depth and loading to protect structures. We also coordinate timings to reduce disruption near busy routes like Victoria Street.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, waste volumes and whether drainage or foundations are required. As a guide, small courtyard groundworks may start from around £1,500–£3,500, while larger dig-and-level projects with spoil removal often fall in the £4,000–£12,000 range. Drainage runs, concrete bases and restricted SW1 access can increase budgets. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most garden groundworks victoria area projects take 2–7 days, depending on size and complexity. Simple site clearance and levelling can be completed in a couple of days, while excavation with drainage and foundations may take one to two weeks. Timescales are affected by access constraints, skip permits, hidden services, weather and the amount of spoil to remove. We confirm a realistic programme before starting.
Many garden groundworks in City of Westminster are permitted, especially when you’re repairing or replacing like-for-like surfaces. However, rules can apply to new or altered access, drainage connections, changes to levels near boundaries, and works affecting listed buildings or conservation areas. If skips, hoarding or parking suspensions are needed in SW1, permits may be required. We check constraints and advise on approvals before work begins.
Yes. Our groundworks come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the elements we install, such as sub-bases, drainage runs and foundations, when built to the agreed specification. It covers defects arising from installation rather than accidental damage or changes made by others after completion. We also provide handover notes on aftercare and loading limits where relevant. Warranty details are confirmed in writing with your quote.
We tailor the build-up to your finish and site conditions. Popular options include Type 1 sub-bases for patios, reinforced concrete bases for structures, permeable sub-bases to support SuDS-friendly paving, and French drains or channel drains for problem areas. We can also form steps, edging foundations and access routes for barrows or mini-diggers. We’ll recommend the right specification after checking levels, soil and intended use.
