Life in Westminster often means compact courtyards, roof terraces and elegant rear gardens that need to work harder—especially with pets. We design spaces that stay smart through muddy paws, zoomies and daily play, without losing the refined look expected near Westminster Abbey and St James’s Park. Expect durable lawns, secure boundaries and planting chosen with animal safety in mind. Every detail is planned to reduce mess and maximise comfort for pets and owners alike.
Our team regularly works across Victoria and Pimlico, where Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments each bring different constraints. Many gardens have limited access routes, shared walls and close neighbours, so layouts must be precise and considerate. We tailor dog runs, digging areas and shade spots to suit smaller footprints and high-value finishes. If your outdoor space is a balcony or terrace, we can still build a pet-friendly scheme with robust surfaces and safe planting.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s habits, your maintenance preferences and any access challenges. You’ll receive a clear design plan, material options and a tidy, well-managed installation schedule. We use proven construction methods and pet-safe specifications, then walk you through aftercare so the garden performs long-term. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent communication and results that look premium while staying practical.
Working in the City of Westminster often involves tight access, controlled parking and strict timing around busy streets. We plan deliveries and waste removal carefully, and we’re used to protecting period features common in SW1 properties. Ground conditions vary from compacted sub-bases to raised planters and podium decks, so we specify drainage and build-ups accordingly. If council considerations apply, we’ll flag them early and keep your project compliant.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Westminster vary with size, access and the level of build. As a guide, smaller courtyard upgrades with easy-clean surfacing and planting often start around £3,000–£8,000. Mid-size gardens with secure fencing, lawn replacement and a dog run are commonly £8,000–£20,000. High-end schemes for Georgian townhouses or roof terraces, including drainage, lighting and bespoke joinery, can be £20,000–£50,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on demolition, groundworks and finishes. A simple refresh—new turf, safer planting and minor fencing—may be completed in a week. More involved builds with drainage, paving, dog runs and custom gates typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access in SW1, material lead times, weather, and whether you’re working around residents in flats or shared boundaries.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, installing turf, or adding low fencing. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary heights, and works affecting drainage or public-facing front gardens. In the City of Westminster, it’s also important to consider party wall matters and building management requirements for mansion flats. We’ll advise what’s likely needed and help you check before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, including paving build-ups, retaining details, and fixed structures such as fencing and gates (subject to correct use and normal wear). We also pass on relevant manufacturer warranties for materials where applicable. Living elements like turf and plants are covered for establishment periods, provided agreed aftercare is followed. Any issues are handled promptly and professionally.
Popular options include durable turf or reinforced lawn systems, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy cleaning, and composite decking where slip resistance is needed. For boundaries, we often use robust timber fencing with pet-proof gates and discreet mesh solutions. Planting is selected for non-toxicity and resilience, with shaded corners and water features designed safely. We’ll recommend choices based on your pets, maintenance preference, and the finish expected for Westminster homes.
