Paddington’s mix of busy streets and quieter waterside pockets demands hard landscaping that’s both robust and refined. Whether you’re near Paddington Station or enjoying walks by Little Venice, we create patios, pathways and steps that suit how you live outdoors. We also build retaining walls, edging and drainage that keep gardens usable through London weather. Every project is designed to look sharp and perform for years.
Our team understands the practicalities of working across W2, from stucco townhouses to mansion flats and modern apartments. Many homes have compact rear gardens, raised thresholds or basement levels that need careful detailing and reliable drainage. We match materials and proportions to period façades as well as contemporary courtyards. The result is hard landscaping that feels intentional, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, levels check and a clear specification covering foundations, falls and finishes. You’ll get a written schedule, tidy working practices and regular updates, with deliveries planned to minimise disruption. We build properly from the ground up: sub-bases, edge restraints and drainage where required. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Hard landscaping in City of Westminster often involves tight access, controlled parking and careful neighbour considerations. Around Bayswater and Marylebone, we frequently work with limited storage space and shared entrances, so we plan deliveries and waste removal precisely. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess levels and specify the right sub-base depths and drainage. We also align finishes with local streetscapes and conservation sensitivities where applicable.

Costs vary by access, groundworks and material choice. As a guide, patios commonly range from £120–£220 per m² installed, while premium stone can be higher. Driveways typically start around £140–£260 per m² depending on sub-base depth and drainage. Small walls and steps are usually priced by scope, often from £900–£3,500+. We’ll survey in W2 and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most patio and pathway projects take 3–7 working days, depending on demolition, levels and detailing. Driveways are often 1–2 weeks, especially if drainage channels or new foundations are needed. Walls, steps and edging can add several days. Timescales are influenced by access restrictions, curing times, weather, and whether spoil removal requires extra logistics. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions in the City of Westminster. New or altered driveways may need compliant drainage (such as permeable surfacing or runoff to a soakaway) and some properties fall within conservation areas. Walls, railings or changes to front gardens can also be restricted. We’ll advise what’s likely required and can help you check rules before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as failed sub-bases, unstable edging, and installation-related movement where we’ve supplied and installed as specified. It also covers defects arising from poor falls or drainage installation within the agreed design. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain coverage clearly in writing before the project begins.
For W2 properties, popular choices include porcelain paving for clean modern courtyards, sandstone or limestone for a softer period look, and clay pavers for traditional pathways. Driveways often suit permeable block paving or resin-bound surfacing where appropriate. We can add granite setts, coping stones, raised planters, and lighting-ready edging. We’ll guide you through samples, slip resistance, maintenance needs and how each option complements your home.
