Pimlico gardens often need clever planning to balance privacy, light and year-round interest. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or a short walk from Pimlico tube station, we design outdoor spaces that feel considered and effortless. Our makeovers combine hard landscaping with layered planting for a refined finish. Expect practical layouts for dining, entertaining and quiet corners.
We regularly work on Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions across Pimlico, Westminster and Victoria. Many properties have compact courtyards, raised terraces or long, narrow plots that benefit from strong lines and well-placed focal points. We design around existing architecture, party walls and neighbouring sightlines. The result is a garden that looks established, not “newly installed”.
Your project starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal, then a staged build plan. We manage everything: hard landscaping, soft landscaping, planting, lighting and finishing details. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy working practices and reliable scheduling. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Garden access in SW1 can be tight, with shared entrances and limited loading space near Dolphin Square and St George's Square. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption and keep neighbours onside. Many Pimlico plots sit between high walls, so we design for shade, wind and drainage, and select plants that thrive in these microclimates. Where required, we coordinate with City of Westminster expectations for front boundaries, lighting spill and conservation sensitivities.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification. In Pimlico, smaller courtyard makeovers typically start around £8,000–£20,000, while mid-size gardens with new paving, planting and lighting often fall between £20,000–£45,000. Larger projects with bespoke joinery, premium stone, drainage upgrades and water features can be £45,000–£90,000+. After a site visit, we provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most garden makeovers in the Pimlico area take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on size and complexity. A compact courtyard with new paving and planting may be completed in 10–15 working days, while projects involving retaining, multiple levels, lighting circuits and water features can take 6–10 weeks. Lead time for design, approvals and ordering materials typically adds 2–4 weeks before work begins.
Many rear-garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting beds, and installing low-level lighting. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, tall boundary treatments, and some water or electrical works. In the City of Westminster we check constraints early, advise on what’s likely to need consent, and can help prepare information for any required applications or landlord/freeholder approvals.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard-landscaping installations, covering workmanship and structural integrity for items such as patios, decking subframes, retaining elements and built features, when installed to our specification. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also offer a practical completion check and aftercare guidance for planting, irrigation and lighting to keep everything performing as intended.
For Pimlico properties, popular choices include porcelain or Yorkstone-style paving, composite or hardwood decking, slimline raised planters, and architectural planting with evergreens for privacy. Lighting often combines step lights, spike uplighters and warm wall washing for evening use. Water features range from compact rills to self-contained bowls for courtyards. We guide you through samples, maintenance needs and how each option complements your building’s period character.
