Paddington’s mix of private courtyards, roof terraces and communal gardens deserves thoughtful design and robust build quality. Whether you’re near Paddington Station or enjoying weekends by Little Venice, we create gardens that feel calm, practical and refined. Our makeovers combine full design with hard and soft landscaping to suit how you actually use the space. Expect clean detailing, durable materials and planting that performs in London conditions.
We regularly work across W2, including Bayswater and Maida Vale, where outdoor areas can be compact, overlooked or access-restricted. Stucco townhouses often need elegant, period-appropriate finishes, while mansion flats and modern apartments benefit from clever zoning and low-maintenance planting. We design for shade, wind and privacy, balancing year-round structure with seasonal colour. If your garden is shared or raised, we’ll tailor solutions to weight limits and neighbour considerations.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a design that clarifies layout, levels, drainage and lighting. Once approved, we manage everything in-house: hard landscaping, decking, patios, planting, lighting and water features, with clear schedules and tidy working practices. You’ll get transparent specifications, staged payments and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication and finishes that stand up to London life.
Access in Paddington can be tight, especially around Paddington Basin and streets near W2 mansion blocks, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully. Many gardens sit in shade from tall buildings, which affects planting choices and lawn viability. We also factor in party walls, basements and existing services before any excavation. For garden makeovers in City of Westminster, we can advise on permissions and liaise with managing agents where needed.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. In the Paddington area, a focused courtyard refresh with new paving and planting often starts around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-sized makeovers with drainage, lighting and bespoke joinery commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger, multi-level gardens with premium stone, decking and water features can be £40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site survey.
Most projects run from 1–2 weeks for smaller courtyards to 4–8 weeks for full rebuilds with patios, decking, lighting and extensive planting. Timescales depend on access (common in W2), demolition needs, level changes, drainage works and bespoke lead times for stone or joinery. Weather can also affect groundwork and pointing. We agree a programme before starting and keep you updated as each stage is completed.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting beds, or installing low-level lighting. However, rules can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary heights, significant level changes, and some structures like raised decks or pergolas. If you’re in a mansion block, freeholder or managing agent approval may also be required. We check constraints early and can recommend when to seek formal advice.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation of hard landscaping such as patios, decking substructures, retaining details, and built features, provided the garden is used and maintained normally. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting transformers, composite decking boards or paving. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we’ll advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance plans to help new plants establish successfully.
We tailor designs to your property style and how you want to use the space. Popular options include porcelain paving for clean, low-maintenance patios, natural sandstone or limestone for a softer look, hardwood or composite decking, and layered planting with evergreens, grasses and shade-tolerant perennials. Lighting can be subtle step lights or uplighters for feature trees, and water features range from rills to self-contained bowls. We guide choices with samples and clear pros/cons.
