Keeping a garden looking sharp around Victoria station and Victoria Street can be a challenge when you’re juggling work, travel and limited storage. Our low-upkeep designs replace high-maintenance lawns and borders with practical, attractive surfaces and planting that hold their shape. From gravel areas with weed membrane to automated irrigation, we build gardens that look consistent through the seasons. The result is a space you can enjoy, not constantly manage.
Homes in SW1 range from mansion blocks and Georgian townhouses to modern apartments with terraces and courtyards. We’re used to compact footprints, overlooked spaces and the need for tidy finishes that suit premium properties in Pimlico and Belgravia. Container planting is often the best route for balconies and paved gardens, while evergreen structure keeps courtyards looking intentional year-round. We tailor layouts to storage limits, access routes and how you actually use the space.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, drainage and light, then provide a clear design and itemised quote. Our team handles hard landscaping, membranes, edging and irrigation neatly, with careful protection of communal areas and entrances. You’ll get straightforward maintenance guidance and aftercare support once the build is complete. Many clients choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the City of Westminster often have restricted access, timed deliveries and limited on-street parking, so we plan logistics carefully. Around Westminster Cathedral and the mansion blocks of SW1, we regularly work with shared pathways, basements and lightwells. We specify drainage-friendly build-ups for paved courtyards and ensure edges are crisp to keep spaces looking ordered. Where freeholders or management companies have rules, we help you align materials and working hours.

Costs vary with access, levels and the balance of hard landscaping to planting. As a guide in SW1, small courtyard refreshes with gravel, weed membrane and containers often start around £2,500–£6,000. Artificial grass installations commonly fall between £3,500–£9,000 depending on ground preparation. Full redesigns with composite decking, irrigation and bespoke finishes are typically £10,000–£30,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are on site. A simple gravel-and-planting scheme can be completed in under a week, while composite decking, lighting and automated irrigation usually extend timelines. Factors include access through mansion blocks, waste removal, ground levelling and drying times for concrete bases. We provide a programme before starting and keep disruption controlled throughout.
Most garden improvements such as decking at appropriate heights, artificial grass, gravel areas and planting are typically permitted development. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, drainage alterations and works affecting shared or communal spaces. In the City of Westminster we’ll flag likely constraints early, check requirements where needed and can help you gather approvals from freeholders or managing agents.
We supply a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements installed to our specification, such as sub-bases, edging, paving and decking structures. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like composite decking boards, artificial grass and irrigation components. The warranty covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage or misuse. We also provide aftercare advice to keep surfaces and planting performing well.
We design to suit your property style and how you use the space. Popular options include premium artificial grass with realistic pile, composite decking in contemporary greys or warm tones, and gravel areas with crisp metal edging over weed membrane. Evergreen planting can be structured with pleached screens, clipped shrubs or architectural grasses, often in large containers. We’ll recommend finishes based on light levels, drainage and the look you want.
