Soho’s outdoor spaces often need smart, space-efficient construction that looks sharp year-round. We design and install patios, pathways, steps and retaining walls that suit the pace and style of W1 living. Whether you’re near Carnaby Street or walking distance to Soho Square, we create hardscapes that feel intentional rather than “added on”. Every build starts with levels, falls and access planned properly.
Local properties range from Georgian townhouses to mansion flats and commercial conversions, so no two gardens or courtyards behave the same. In the hard landscaping Soho area, we regularly work with tight side access, basement lightwells and shared boundaries. We specify foundations and drainage to protect neighbouring structures and prevent water pooling on compact plots. Finishes can be contemporary or period-appropriate, depending on the building and setting.
Our process is straightforward: site survey, design and material selection, then a scheduled build with clear milestones. We prepare solid sub-bases, set accurate falls, and install edging and drainage before laying surfaces. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, respectful working practices and workmanship that stands up to heavy use. All installations are backed by a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Working in hard landscaping in City of Westminster means planning around controlled parking, narrow access and strict waste removal. We schedule deliveries carefully and keep materials secure and tidy. Ground conditions can vary between older made ground and modern substructures from conversions, so we assess bearing capacity and specify the right sub-base and foundations. We also design with neighbouring walls, shared boundaries and basement areas in mind.

Costs vary with access, waste removal, ground preparation and material choice. As a guide, patios in Soho often start around £150–£250 per m² for quality paving, rising to £300+ per m² for premium stone and complex detailing. Driveways typically range from £120–£220 per m² depending on sub-base depth and drainage. Walls, steps and edging are usually priced per linear metre or as a fixed scope after survey.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small courtyard patio with edging may be completed in under a week, while a driveway with drainage channels, steps and retaining walls can run 2–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, skip permits, curing time for concrete foundations, and bespoke materials. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden hardscapes are permitted development, but rules can change with listed buildings, conservation areas, basement works and alterations to the front garden. Driveways may need particular attention to surface water, with permeable paving or drainage to a suitable soakaway rather than the public sewer. We’ll advise on compliant options and, where needed, help you understand what the City of Westminster expects before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, loose edging, and installation-related drainage faults. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what’s included before you proceed. The warranty relies on normal use and appropriate maintenance, and we’ll give practical aftercare guidance for your chosen surfaces and joints.
Soho clients often choose porcelain paving for clean lines, sandstone or limestone for a softer look, and granite setts for driveways and edging. For pathways and courtyards, we can combine large-format slabs with brick or sett borders to suit Georgian and mansion-flat settings. Walls and steps can be built in brick, stone or rendered blockwork, with lighting and drainage integrated. We’ll guide you through samples, slip resistance and maintenance needs.
