From small courtyards off Victoria Street to rear gardens near Westminster Cathedral, well-built hard landscaping makes every metre work harder. Fine Landscaping designs and installs patios, pathways, walls, steps and edging that look sharp and perform year-round. We also handle the unseen essentials—foundations and drainage—so surfaces stay level and water moves where it should. The result is a clean, practical layout that complements central London architecture.
The Victoria area mixes mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments, often with compact outdoor spaces and shared access routes. Our hard landscaping victoria area service focuses on smart detailing: neat thresholds, discreet drainage channels and durable finishes that cope with heavy footfall. In Pimlico and Belgravia we regularly work with period features, matching materials and proportions to existing brickwork and stone. For newer builds in SW1, we favour crisp lines and contemporary paving formats.
We start with a site visit to check levels, access and any drainage issues, then provide a clear scope and itemised options. Every build is set out properly, with sub-bases and foundations specified for the load—especially important for driveways and steps. We protect communal areas, keep the site organised, and update you as milestones are reached. Homeowners choose us for hard landscaping in City of Westminster because we deliver dependable workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Access in Victoria can be tight, with timed deliveries and limited parking near Victoria station and busy routes like Victoria Street. We plan logistics, protect shared hallways and manage waste removal efficiently. Many SW1 properties have older ground build-ups and mixed substrates, so we assess levels and specify the right foundation depth and compaction. Where council requirements apply—especially for drainage and front gardens—we guide you through compliant options.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, groundwork depth and material choice. As a guide, patios often start around £120–£250 per m² installed, with premium stone and complex falls pushing higher. Pathways and edging are usually priced by area and detailing, while steps and walls depend on height, finishes and foundations. Driveways typically range from £150–£300 per m², especially where drainage upgrades are needed.
A straightforward patio or pathway can take 3–7 working days, depending on size and how much excavation is required. Larger builds—such as a driveway with drainage, walls and steps—often run 2–4 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access restrictions, skip permits, curing time for concrete bases, and any changes discovered once we lift existing surfaces. We provide a realistic programme before work starts.
Many garden hard landscaping projects are permitted development, but there are important exceptions in the City of Westminster. Front driveways must usually be permeable or drain to a suitable soakaway, and listed buildings or conservation areas can add constraints on materials and appearance. We check the site, advise on compliant drainage and surfacing, and can help you understand whether permission or approvals are required before installation.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as settlement caused by incorrect sub-base preparation, loose edging, and installation-related defects. Materials are covered by the manufacturer’s guarantees where applicable. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable maintenance, and it excludes damage from third-party works or extreme events. We also offer aftercare advice to keep paving and joints performing well.
In SW1, popular choices include porcelain paving for clean, low-maintenance terraces, sandstone or limestone for a softer period look, and granite setts for edging or driveway detailing. For pathways and courtyards, we often use small-format pavers to suit tighter spaces. Walls and steps can be built in matching brick, stone copings or rendered finishes. We’ll help you choose colours, laying patterns and drainage details that suit your property and budget.
