Soho’s pace doesn’t leave much room for weekend weeding, so we design gardens that stay sharp with minimal input. From compact courtyards near Carnaby Street to roof terraces by Soho Square, we create practical layouts that still feel premium. Expect clean lines, durable finishes and planting that holds its shape through every season. The result is a space you can use, not one you constantly maintain.
Homes across Soho range from Georgian townhouses to mansion flats and creative commercial conversions, often with tight access and overlooked boundaries. We’re used to working with small footprints, awkward levels and limited storage, while keeping disruption low for neighbours. For balconies and terraces, container planting and lightweight build-ups can deliver greenery without heavy soil loads. Where privacy matters, evergreen structure planting and screening are planned from day one.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design proposal, then schedule the build to suit your diary. Our team handles ground preparation, weed membrane installation, hard landscaping and finishing details so the garden stays tidy for years. You’ll get straightforward maintenance guidance and a workmanship-backed approach that prioritises durability. Many clients choose us for reliable communication, neat working practices and consistent results across the low maintenance gardens Soho area.
Soho sites often mean narrow entrances, shared hallways and strict delivery windows, so we plan logistics carefully. In W1, parking and loading can be challenging; we coordinate materials to minimise disruption. We also consider noise-sensitive neighbours and commercial frontages near Liberty London and Fitzrovia. Our solutions suit paving-heavy courtyards, roof terraces and shaded lightwells common across low maintenance gardens in City of Westminster.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification you choose. As a guide, small Soho courtyards or terraces with weed membrane, gravel and container planting often start from £3,000–£7,000. Adding composite decking, lighting and built-in planters can take projects to £8,000–£20,000+. Premium installations with automated irrigation, bespoke joinery and extensive hard landscaping may exceed £25,000.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are on site. A simple refresh with gravel areas, weed membrane and new containers can be completed in under a week. Composite decking, drainage adjustments, steps and larger hard landscaping typically require 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access (stairs/lifts), waste removal, curing times for bases, and any bespoke items such as planters or screens.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing surfaces, adding decking at sensible heights, or installing irrigation and planting. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, listed buildings, and where changes affect drainage or boundary walls. In the City of Westminster we check the specifics, advise on permeable build-ups where needed, and can help you confirm requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on qualifying installations, covering issues arising from our build methods and installation standards. This includes key elements of hard landscaping such as sub-bases, laying, and fixing where specified. Materials like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components also carry manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to care for it, and what to do if a problem arises.
Popular choices include composite decking for clean, durable seating areas, and artificial grass for a soft finish without mowing. Gravel areas with weed membrane work well for courtyards and lightwells, while evergreen planting (box alternatives, yew, pittosporum) keeps structure year-round. Container planting is ideal for terraces and balconies, with automated irrigation for hands-off watering. We’ll tailor options to light levels, privacy needs and how you use the space.
