Response within 24 hours
Developments around Paddington station and Paddington Basin demand landscaping that looks sharp on day one and performs for years. Fine Landscaping delivers complete external works for housing schemes, including show home gardens, communal areas and street planting. We coordinate smoothly with your build programme and keep access routes clean and controlled. Expect practical detailing that suits busy W2 streets and high footfall.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments creates varied outdoor spaces, from compact rear terraces to shared podium gardens. In Bayswater and Marylebone, we often work with tighter light levels and overlooked boundaries, so privacy and structure matter. Near Little Venice and Hyde Park, planting needs to cope with wind exposure and seasonal use. Our designs balance kerb appeal with durability for residents and managing agents.
We start with a site survey, levels and drainage review, then produce a clear scope, programme and specification. Installation is managed by an experienced foreman with regular updates and snagging lists aligned to handover dates. Every project is finished with an O&M pack and optional maintenance contracts to protect the investment. Clients trust us for consistent workmanship, considerate neighbours management and transparent communication.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning logistics as carefully as the build. Parking controls, restricted loading and narrow access around W2 can affect deliveries, so we schedule timed drop-offs and use smaller vehicles where needed. Ground conditions vary from made-up sub-bases on new builds to compacted urban soils, so we specify the right substrates and drainage layers. We also tailor planting to shaded courtyards and windier roof or podium areas common locally.

Costs vary by access, specification and the mix of hard and soft landscaping. As a guide, small front/rear garden packages may start from £6,000–£15,000, while courtyard or communal area works often fall between £25,000–£120,000+. Driveways, boundary treatments and street planting can add significantly depending on materials and service diversions. We provide itemised budgets and value-engineering options to suit your programme.
Timescales depend on phases, weather and how early we can coordinate levels, drainage and service routes. A single show home garden may take 1–2 weeks, while multiple plots plus communal areas typically run 4–12 weeks in stages. Street planting is often programmed around highways approvals and seasonal planting windows. We build a practical programme that aligns with your handover dates and avoids clashes with other trades.
Many garden and landscaping works are permitted, but rules can apply to new crossovers, changes to front gardens, boundary heights, trees and works affecting the public highway. In the City of Westminster, approvals may also be needed for street planting, tree pits and any works near utilities. We check constraints early, advise on permeable surfacing requirements, and can support drawings and specifications for applications where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving build-ups, edging, retaining details and constructed features, subject to correct use and maintenance. Planting is covered through an agreed defects and establishment period, with clear responsibilities for watering and aftercare. Any snags identified at handover are logged and resolved promptly. Optional maintenance contracts help protect finishes and keep planting thriving.
For contemporary schemes, porcelain paving, resin-bound surfacing and crisp granite setts are popular, while period-adjacent sites often suit Yorkstone-style flags and traditional brick detailing. Boundary treatments can include timber slats, metal railings, acoustic fencing and evergreen hedging for privacy. Planting palettes frequently use multi-stem trees, pleached screens and shade-tolerant perennials for courtyards. We guide you through samples, performance specs and maintenance needs before finalising the design.
