Pimlico’s garden squares and riverside streets deserve planting that looks considered in every season. We create layered borders, statement shrubs and well-sited trees for homes near Tate Britain and around St George's Square. Whether you want softer cottage-style planting or clean architectural lines, we match the scheme to your space. Our team handles everything from supply to planting and mulching, leaving your beds ready to thrive.
Much of the local housing stock is Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, often with compact rear gardens, courtyards or raised planters. We’re used to working with shade cast by tall buildings, sheltered microclimates and balconies that need tougher, wind-tolerant choices. For clients in Westminster, Victoria and the wider garden planting Pimlico area, we design planting that performs in small footprints without feeling cramped. The result is a garden that reads beautifully from your windows as well as at ground level.
We start with a site visit to assess aspect, soil condition, drainage and access, then propose a planting design with clear plant lists and seasonal interest. Plants are supplied to spec, planted at correct depths with improved soil and a generous mulch to lock in moisture. We work neatly, protect paving and communal areas, and provide aftercare guidance so you know exactly how to water and feed. Many homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent options, and a finish that looks established quickly.
In SW1 we often find restricted access, shared pathways and limited parking near Pimlico tube station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many gardens sit in sheltered courtyards where drainage can be inconsistent, so we adjust soil structure and mulch depth accordingly. For garden planting in City of Westminster, we also consider communal freeholder rules and conservation sensitivities. Our planting choices suit formal frontages and the softer feel of square gardens.

Most planting jobs in Pimlico take 1–2 days for a small courtyard or a couple of borders, including soil improvement and mulching. Medium gardens or multiple beds typically take 2–4 days, especially if we’re planting shrubs and perennials in layers. Tree planting may add half a day to a day depending on pit preparation and access. Timescales vary with plant availability, weather, and any clearance needed beforehand.
Most garden planting, borders, shrubs, perennials and bulbs are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, there can be extra considerations in the City of Westminster, such as conservation areas, listed buildings, or Tree Preservation Orders affecting tree work. If you’re in a mansion block, freeholder or management company rules may also apply. We ask the right questions, check constraints where relevant, and can suggest compliant alternatives if needed.
