Pimlico’s elegant squares and riverside outlooks deserve gardens that look polished without constant work. Fine Landscaping designs and builds low-upkeep outdoor spaces across SW1, from near Tate Britain to streets around Pimlico tube station. Expect clean lines, durable materials and planting that holds its shape through the seasons. The result is a garden you can enjoy more and maintain less.
We regularly work with Pimlico’s Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions where space, light and access can be tight. Courtyard gardens, roof terraces and compact rear plots benefit from thoughtful zoning and clutter-free finishes. For clients in Westminster, Victoria and nearby Chelsea, we create practical layouts that still feel refined. Every scheme is tailored to how you use the space—entertaining, relaxing, or easy rental-ready kerb appeal.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and a clear design proposal with material samples. We install with experienced in-house teams, keeping work tidy and disruption low, then hand over with simple care guidance. You’ll get transparent scheduling, quality workmanship and a finish that’s built to last. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication and consistently high standards.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning for restricted access, controlled parking and timed deliveries. Many Pimlico gardens sit in enclosed courtyards or behind mansion blocks, so we select materials that are easy to carry in and quick to install. We also account for shade from taller buildings and windy river-facing aspects near Vauxhall. Where council guidance applies, we help you stay compliant and keep the project moving.

Costs vary by access, levels and the mix of surfaces. As a guide in SW1, a small courtyard refresh with weed membrane, gravel and container planting often starts around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size gardens with composite decking, edging and planting are commonly £8,000–£20,000. Larger, fully rebuilt spaces with hard landscaping, drainage and automated irrigation can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects in the low maintenance gardens pimlico area take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, groundworks and access. A straightforward artificial grass and gravel scheme can be completed within a week. Full rebuilds with new paving, composite decking, retaining edges and irrigation typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by skip placement, delivery windows, weather and any drainage or level corrections needed.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing surfaces, adding decking at low height, or installing irrigation. However, Pimlico properties can be subject to conservation considerations, listed-building constraints, or leaseholder/freeholder approvals in mansion blocks. Permeable surfacing and drainage rules may also apply. We flag likely requirements early, liaise where needed, and help you choose compliant solutions before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations, covering issues such as settlement-related movement, poor fixing, or installation defects when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we register these where applicable. We also give clear aftercare guidance to protect your finish. Any snagging is handled promptly and professionally.
Options include premium artificial grass with realistic pile, composite decking in contemporary greys or warm timber tones, and gravel areas with crisp steel or stone edging. For planting, we favour evergreen structure—box alternatives, yew, pittosporum—and layered container planting for terraces. Automated irrigation can be zoned for pots, beds and planters. We bring samples, discuss sun/shade and usage, then design a scheme that suits your home and budget.
