Westminster gardens often need clever planning to feel spacious, private and calm. Whether you’re near Westminster Abbey or a short walk from Victoria, we design layouts that maximise every metre. Expect a complete transformation: hard landscaping, soft landscaping, planting, lighting and finishing details that look right against historic architecture. The result is a garden that works beautifully in every season.
In the Westminster area we regularly work with Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, each with different constraints and opportunities. Courtyard gardens in Pimlico may need discreet storage and shade-tolerant planting, while terraces around St James’s benefit from structured planting and premium paving. We’re used to tight access routes, shared entrances and protecting existing stonework. Every design is scaled to the property and the way you use it.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design proposal, followed by a detailed schedule and fixed scope. We handle full design, decking, patios, planting plans, lighting and water features with careful coordination. Work is kept tidy and considerate, with regular updates so you always know what’s happening next. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, high-end finishes and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Westminster sites often involve restricted access, controlled parking and strict waste removal rules, so logistics matter as much as design. We plan deliveries, loading and neighbour considerations to keep disruption low. Many gardens sit on made ground with variable drainage, so we specify the right sub-bases and falls for patios and decking. If your home is listed or within a conservation area, we’ll help you choose sympathetic materials and details.

Costs vary with access, levels and specification. In SW1, a compact courtyard refresh with new paving and planting often starts around £6,000–£12,000. Mid-size makeovers with lighting, built-in planters and higher-grade stone commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger projects including decking, drainage upgrades and water features can be £40,000+. We provide a clear, itemised proposal after a survey.
Most garden makeovers westminster area take 1–3 weeks for smaller courtyards and 3–6 weeks for more involved builds. Complex projects with multiple levels, bespoke joinery, lighting circuits or water features may run 6–10 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, skip permits, curing time for paving, and lead times for specialist items. We agree a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing patios, adding planting beds, and installing low-level lighting. However, properties in the City of Westminster may be listed or in conservation areas, and rules can affect walls, railings, raised platforms, drainage changes and external fixtures. We flag likely constraints early, advise on what to check, and can work with your architect or the council guidance before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on hard landscaping elements such as patios, paving build-ups, retaining details and installed structures, provided they’re used and maintained as advised. Product warranties for items like lighting transformers, composite decking or pumps for water features are passed on and explained clearly. If an issue arises, we respond promptly, inspect the work and put it right.
We offer a wide palette, from porcelain paving and natural stone to timber or composite decking, plus bespoke planters and seating. Planting can be contemporary and architectural or classic and layered for Georgian settings. For evenings, we design warm, low-glare lighting for steps, paths and feature planting. Water features range from simple rills to self-contained bowls. We guide you through samples, maintenance needs and budget to refine the best scheme.
