Paddington homes often need gardens that look sharp with minimal upkeep, especially around W2 where space is valuable. We design low-effort outdoor areas that suit modern city living, from courtyards near Paddington station to terraces by Little Venice. Expect clean lines, practical surfaces and planting that holds its shape through the seasons. The result is a garden that stays presentable without constant mowing, weeding or watering.
Our team regularly works across the low maintenance gardens paddington area, including Bayswater and Maida Vale, where access can be tight and gardens are frequently compact. We’re used to stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments, each with different levels, drainage and light. Whether you have a raised patio or a shaded courtyard, we specify materials that cope with urban wear and tear. Every design balances durability with a premium finish that complements Westminster architecture.
We start with a site visit to measure, assess drainage and discuss how you want to use the space. Then we provide a clear plan covering surfaces, planting, irrigation and long-term maintenance requirements, with options to suit different budgets. Our installations use proper sub-bases, weed membrane and tidy edging details so the garden stays low-fuss for years. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful working practices and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In Paddington and across the City of Westminster, we often plan around restricted parking, timed deliveries and shared access routes in mansion blocks. Many gardens are shaded by tall buildings, so we select evergreens and container planting that cope with lower light. We also factor in drainage and run-off, particularly where paved courtyards sit above basements. Our team schedules work to minimise disruption and keeps sites clean for neighbouring properties.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a small W2 courtyard refresh with gravel, weed membrane and container planting may start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size upgrades with composite decking and evergreen planting are often £7,000–£18,000. Full redesigns including hard landscaping, artificial grass and automated irrigation typically range from £15,000–£35,000+. We provide itemised options after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks from start on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and hard landscaping. A simple artificial grass or gravel area can be completed in 2–5 days, while composite decking, steps and planting usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions near Paddington Basin, waste removal, curing times for concrete bases, and any bespoke joinery or lighting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing surfaces, installing decking at low height, or adding planting and irrigation. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, significant level changes, or drainage alterations. In the City of Westminster we also pay attention to sustainable drainage requirements for new impermeable paving. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and can help you confirm requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable sub-bases, poor fixing or incorrect falls. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we’ll supply the relevant details. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable care, and excludes damage from third parties or extreme events. We also offer aftercare visits if needed.
We tailor each design to your space and how you live. Popular options include premium artificial grass with realistic pile, composite decking in modern greys or warm oak tones, gravel courtyards with crisp steel edging, and evergreen planting such as yew, pittosporum and hardy grasses. Automated irrigation can be zoned for borders and containers. We’ll bring samples, explain pros and cons, and specify finishes that suit your Paddington property.
