Living near Paddington station or along the waterside by Little Venice often means compact gardens, terraces and shared courtyards that need to be practical. We design pet-safe layouts that reduce muddy paws, protect planting, and give your pets clear zones to play and rest. From durable lawns to rinse-friendly patios, every detail is chosen for everyday use. The result is a garden that stays smart even after zoomies, rain and regular use.
The Paddington area has a mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments, each with different outdoor challenges. Courtyard gardens off Bayswater and Marylebone can be shaded and overlooked, so privacy and quiet pet areas matter. Newer developments near Paddington Basin often benefit from clean-lined finishes and low-maintenance surfaces. We tailor pet friendly gardens Paddington area homeowners can enjoy, whether you have a balcony terrace or a full rear garden.
We start with a site visit to assess access, drainage, sun paths and your pet’s routine, then produce a clear plan and itemised quote. Our builds prioritise robust foundations, safe fixings and planting that avoids common toxic species. You’ll get tidy workmanship, clear timelines and practical aftercare advice to keep the garden looking its best. Fine Landscaping is based in South London, around 45 minutes away, and trusted for reliable scheduling and premium finishes.
Across W2, access can be tight with steps, basement lightwells and restricted side returns, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in parking controls and considerate working hours typical in the City of Westminster. Many gardens sit in partial shade from taller buildings, so we specify hard-wearing turf alternatives and shade-tolerant, pet-safe plants. Drainage and hose access are checked early to keep cleaning and maintenance simple.

Costs vary with size, access and the features you choose. For smaller W2 courtyards or terraces, allow roughly £2,000–£6,000 for pet-safe surfacing, planting tweaks and minor fencing. Mid-size gardens with durable lawn, secure boundaries and drainage improvements often fall around £6,000–£15,000. Larger redesigns with dog runs, bespoke fencing, lighting and water features can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on groundwork and how many zones you’re adding. A simple refresh with easy-clean paving and planting changes can be completed in under a week. Full redesigns with fencing, drainage, new lawn and a dog run typically take 1–3 weeks. Timings are affected by access constraints near mansion flats, curing times for paving, and weather.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding a dog run, or installing standard fencing within height limits. However, parts of the City of Westminster include conservation areas, and some mansion blocks have management company rules. If you’re altering boundary treatments, adding significant structures, or working near listed features, permissions may apply. We check constraints, advise on compliance, and can help with any approvals needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as paving bases, edging, drainage runs and built features, when used and maintained as advised. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also explain how to care for lawns, joints and sealants to keep them performing well with pets. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and professionally.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for easy cleaning, resin-bound surfaces for smooth paw-friendly paths, and composite decking for low splinter risk. For greenery, we can use tough turf, reinforced grass systems, or pet-safe groundcovers in shaded spots. Design options often include a dedicated dog run, a digging zone with soft fill, shade spots, and shallow, safe water features. We’ll recommend the best combination for your pet, layout and budget.
