A great lawn can transform a compact courtyard or a larger garden in Westminster. From Victoria and Pimlico to properties near Westminster Abbey, we install lawns that suit the setting and the way you use the space. Whether you want instant impact with turf or a seeding option for longer-term value, we deliver a neat, level finish. Every job starts with proper groundwork so the lawn establishes quickly.
The City of Westminster includes Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, often with raised terraces, basement gardens and shared access routes. These properties can bring challenges such as restricted delivery times, tight gateways and limited storage for materials. We plan logistics carefully and protect paving, steps and communal areas. The result is a lawn that complements period brickwork and contemporary landscaping alike.
Our process covers site preparation, topsoil improvement, accurate grading, turf laying or seeding, and clean edging for a defined border. We use quality turf supply matched to light levels and expected wear, and we won’t lay turf onto poor sub-bases. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury and typically reaches SW1 in around 35 minutes, so aftercare visits and advice are straightforward. You’ll also get clear guidance on watering, mowing and feeding to help your new lawn thrive.
Westminster gardens often sit over compacted ground from past landscaping, with shade from tall buildings and mature trees around St James’s Park. Access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also adapt soil depth and grading to suit terraces, lightwells and courtyard layouts typical of SW1. If your building has management rules, we’ll work within them and keep the site tidy.

Costs in Westminster vary with access, prep work and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from about £45–£90 per m² including preparation and laying. Seeding is often lower, roughly £20–£45 per m², but may need more aftercare and time to establish. Extra topsoil, removal of old lawn, or levelling for drainage can increase the overall price.
Most turf jobs in the Westminster area take 1 day for small to medium gardens once access is confirmed. Larger gardens or those needing significant grading, extra topsoil, or removal of old turf can take 2–3 days. Seeding is usually quicker to install, but it takes longer to look established. Weather, drying times for soil, and delivery/parking restrictions around SW1 can also affect scheduling.
Lawn installation in the City of Westminster is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s classed as typical garden improvement. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, or properties with communal gardens and management agreements. If drainage alterations are needed, we’ll ensure the approach is sensible and compliant. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can help you check requirements before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship related to the installation, such as levels/edging integrity and the build-up we create for the lawn. Living materials are affected by watering, weather, shade and pet use, so turf and seed establishment is supported through our aftercare guidance rather than guaranteed indefinitely. If any installation-related issue arises, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right where covered.
You can choose between instant turf laying or a seeding option, depending on budget, timing and how soon you need the lawn usable. We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a smarter finish, or shade-tolerant mixes where light is limited. Edging can be cut-in for a clean line or formed against paving, sleepers or metal edging. We’ll assess sunlight, drainage and foot traffic to recommend the best fit.
