Westminster gardens and courtyards often need hard landscaping that looks sharp and performs flawlessly. Whether you’re near Westminster Abbey or commuting through Victoria, we create patios, pathways, walls and steps that suit the setting. Our builds focus on clean lines, safe access and long-term stability. Expect thoughtful detailing, from edging to drainage, so surfaces stay usable year-round.
The City of Westminster is known for Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, each with different access and structural demands. In Pimlico and St James’s, we regularly work with compact rear gardens, raised terraces and basement-level courtyards. We match materials to existing brickwork and stonework, and design levels to make the most of limited space. Every project is planned around how you live outdoors, not a one-size layout.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear specification covering foundations, falls and finishes. You’ll receive a written schedule and transparent options for materials and edging details. Our team protects communal areas, keeps the site tidy and communicates throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable workmanship, careful setting-out and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Hard landscaping Westminster area projects often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and controlled parking, especially around Whitehall and SW1. We plan logistics early and use efficient, low-disruption methods for mansion blocks and mews-style approaches. Ground conditions can vary, so we specify the right sub-base depth, compaction and drainage strategy. Where council requirements apply, we help you stay compliant without delaying the build.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth and material choice. As a guide, patios typically range from £150–£300 per m² installed, while premium stone or complex patterns can be higher. Brick or stone walls often start around £250–£500 per m² depending on height and footing requirements. Driveways commonly fall between £120–£250 per m², with drainage and foundations influencing the final figure.
A straightforward patio or pathway usually takes 3–7 working days, depending on size and site access. Steps, retaining walls and drainage additions can extend this to 1–3 weeks. Driveways commonly take 1–2 weeks, especially where excavation and sub-base build-up are needed. Timescales are affected by curing periods, delivery restrictions in Westminster, and any changes discovered once we start digging.
Many patios, paths and garden walls are permitted development, but rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if work alters the front garden significantly. Driveways may need attention to surface water drainage, with permeable options often preferred. We’ll advise on likely requirements, check constraints relevant to Westminster, and help you prepare information for the council if permission or consent is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as movement caused by inadequate base preparation, unstable steps, or failures in setting-out that lead to uneven surfaces. It also covers defects linked to our installation of edging and foundations. Normal wear, accidental damage, and problems caused by third-party alterations aren’t included. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing before work begins.
We offer a wide range of finishes to suit Westminster properties, including porcelain paving, sandstone and limestone, granite setts, and traditional brick edging. For driveways, we install permeable block paving, resin-bound surfaces, and setts where appropriate. Walls can be built in brick to match Georgian façades or in natural stone for a premium look. We help you choose based on slip resistance, maintenance, colour tones and budget.
