Canary Wharf gardens and terraces need hard landscaping that looks sharp and performs in all weathers. We design and build patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that suit E14 balconies, podium gardens and waterfront plots. Whether you’re near One Canada Square or walking distance from Crossrail Place, we plan every detail around access, noise limits and building rules. The result is a clean, modern outdoor space that feels like an extension of your home.
This part of London Borough of Tower Hamlets is defined by modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses, often with communal areas and managed entrances. We regularly work across the Isle of Dogs, Poplar and Limehouse, where loading bays, lifts and timed deliveries can shape the build. Our team is used to working with building managers and concierge teams, keeping shared routes protected and tidy. If you’re upgrading a private terrace or a ground-level courtyard, we tailor the build to your layout and lifestyle.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, assess drainage and confirm the build-up for foundations. You’ll receive a clear specification covering materials, edging details, falls, and waste removal, so there are no surprises. Our installers work to tight tolerances, keep neighbours informed, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations.
Hard landscaping canary wharf area projects often involve podium decks, restricted access routes and strict delivery windows. We plan materials handling, parking and waste removal to suit managed developments around Jubilee Park and the dockside walkways. Ground conditions can vary between made ground and compacted sub-bases, so we specify the right foundation depth and drainage. Where required, we coordinate with building management and follow local council expectations for permeable surfaces.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, structural build-up and material choice. As a guide, patios typically range from £120–£220 per m² installed, while premium porcelain or complex detailing can be £200–£300+ per m². Driveways often start around £3,500–£8,000 for smaller areas, rising with excavation, drainage and permeable requirements. Walls, steps and foundations are priced after a site survey and level checks.
Many patio or pathway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on size, cuts and edging. Driveways with excavation, sub-base, drainage channels and curing time commonly take 1–2 weeks. Walls and steps can add several days, especially where foundations or retaining work is needed. Timescales are most affected by access restrictions in apartment blocks, weather, and the condition of the existing ground or slab.
Most patios, paths and garden walls are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around drainage and permeable surfacing. If you’re altering levels, adding retaining walls, working near boundaries, or your property has specific estate covenants, extra approvals may apply. In managed developments, building management consent is often required too. We’ll advise what’s likely needed and can help you check relevant Tower Hamlets guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship issues such as movement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, failing joints, or drainage problems linked to our installation. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll pass those details on at handover. The warranty assumes normal use and that any recommended maintenance (such as periodic cleaning and re-sanding) is followed.
For modern terraces and courtyards, porcelain paving, sawn sandstone and large-format concrete slabs are popular for their clean lines. We also install block paving for driveways, granite setts for edging, and rendered or brick walls to match building finishes. Drainage options include linear channels and permeable sub-bases where required. We’ll help you choose colours, jointing and step details that complement your property and handle year-round use.
