Westminster gardens often sit behind beautiful façades yet offer limited space, shade and tricky access. We create planting schemes that suit courtyards near Victoria, terraces by St James's Park, and quiet pockets around SW1. Whether you want a crisp evergreen framework or seasonal colour, we balance texture, scent and structure. Every plan is tailored to how you use the space, from entertaining to low-maintenance greenery.
Our team understands the mix of Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments across the City of Westminster. We design planting that complements historic brickwork and stone detailing while thriving in urban microclimates. For balconies and roof terraces, we specify wind-tolerant plants and lightweight growing media. If your garden is overlooked or shaded, we choose varieties that perform without constant fuss.
Your project starts with a site visit, light and soil checks, and a clear planting design you can approve. We then handle plant supply, careful border planting, tree planting, shrub planting, and finishing touches such as mulching and bulb layering. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy clean-downs each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, skilled installation and a long-term approach to plant health.
Westminster gardens can have compact footprints, shaded walls and mixed urban soils that need conditioning before planting. Access and parking around Whitehall and SW1 can be tight, so we plan deliveries, timings and waste removal carefully. We also consider wind exposure on terraces and the heat reflected from paving and brickwork. Our approach adapts plant choices, irrigation advice and mulching depth to suit these conditions.

Costs vary with bed size, plant density and the mix of trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs. As a guide, border planting with soil improvement and mulch often starts around £600–£1,500 for small areas, while larger schemes can be £2,000–£6,000+. Tree planting commonly ranges from £250–£1,200 per tree depending on size and access. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most small courtyard or front-garden planting jobs take 1–2 days once the design and plants are agreed. Medium gardens with multiple borders, shrubs and a few trees typically take 2–4 days. Larger schemes can run 1–2 weeks, especially if soil needs improving, old planting needs clearing, or access is restricted. Seasonal availability of specific plants and delivery lead times can also affect scheduling.
Most garden planting, border works and mulching are permitted and don’t require formal permission. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, listed buildings, or where trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). If you’re near Westminster Abbey or other protected streetscapes, we’ll advise on what to check. We can help you confirm council requirements and ensure any tree work is compliant before installation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation standards, covering issues such as poor staking, incorrect planting depth, or inadequate bed preparation where we supplied and installed. Plants are living materials, so survival depends on season, weather and watering, but we specify suitable varieties and provide clear aftercare instructions. If a problem relates to our installation, we return promptly to put it right.
We offer everything from formal evergreen structure to softer, naturalistic borders with long-flowering perennials and bulbs. Popular options include shade-tolerant planting for courtyards, scented planting near seating, and architectural shrubs with seasonal grasses. We can also supply compost, soil improvers and mulches (bark, composted green waste or decorative finishes) to suit the look you want. We’ll guide choices based on light, maintenance level and budget.
