Canary Wharf gardens often need to look immaculate without demanding your weekends. We design low-upkeep outdoor spaces for balconies, terraces and podium gardens near One Canada Square and Jubilee Park, using durable finishes that suit contemporary architecture. Expect practical layouts, tidy edges and planting that holds its shape year-round. We’ll make the most of every square metre, even where space is limited.
Across the Isle of Dogs and E14, many homes are modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses with compact terraces and shared access routes. These settings benefit from lightweight, modular solutions such as container planting, gravel areas and composite decking. Where natural turf struggles in shade and wind corridors, artificial grass gives a consistent, evergreen look. We also plan for privacy screening and year-round structure without overloading planters or balconies.
We start with a site survey, access check and a clear, itemised proposal so you know exactly what’s included. Our team installs weed membrane, hard landscaping and irrigation with careful attention to drainage and long-term performance. Work areas are kept tidy, with considerate scheduling for managed buildings and concierge arrangements. Every installation is finished to a premium standard and backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, many gardens are terraces, podiums or rooftop spaces with strict loading limits and managed access. We plan deliveries, parking and lift use in advance, and schedule work to suit building rules. Wind exposure and shade from towers can affect planting, so we specify hardy evergreens and smart irrigation. For low maintenance gardens Canary Wharf area, we also prioritise drainage details to protect waterproofing and finishes.

Costs vary with access, level changes and specification. As a guide, small terrace makeovers with artificial grass or gravel and edging often start around £2,000–£5,000. Mid-size designs with composite decking, evergreen planting and weed membrane are commonly £6,000–£15,000.

Most projects take 2–7 working days depending on size and the mix of hard landscaping, decking and planting. A simple artificial grass install can be completed in 1–3 days, while composite decking with subframe, lighting and multiple planters may take 1–2 weeks. Access restrictions, lift bookings, delivery windows and weather can extend timelines. We agree a programme in advance and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden upgrades—such as decking at ground level, gravel areas, planting and irrigation—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, boundary alterations or works affecting drainage. In Canary Wharf, apartment blocks may also have management company requirements for terraces and balconies. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, check constraints, and help you take the right steps before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality for key elements such as decking subframes, edging, hard landscaping and general build standards. Manufacturer warranties apply to many materials, including composite decking and some artificial grass ranges, and we’ll register these where required. The warranty doesn’t cover neglect, accidental damage or extreme weather events, but we’re always available for maintenance advice and remedial support if needed.
We tailor designs to your space and lifestyle, from contemporary composite decking in grey or oak tones to clean gravel areas with crisp steel or stone edging. Popular planting choices include evergreen shrubs, architectural grasses and year-round containers for terraces. Many clients choose artificial grass for consistent colour and a soft surface, plus automated irrigation for hands-off watering. We guide you on finishes, drainage and durability to suit your property and access.
