Bayswater homes often come with small but valuable outdoor pockets—rear patios, lightwells and courtyard gardens. Near Queensway and Hyde Park, we design gardens that feel calm and generous, even when square metres are tight. Space planning, container planting and vertical greenery help you gain privacy and colour without crowding. Subtle lighting and mirrors can also lift darker corners and extend evenings outdoors.
Our team is used to working around Bayswater’s stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats, where access can be narrow and boundaries are close. We regularly design for raised terraces, basement-level gardens and shared freehold considerations. In the small garden design & build Bayswater area, we prioritise low-maintenance planting that suits shade, wind tunnels between buildings, and limited storage. The result is a garden that fits the architecture and your lifestyle—dining, relaxing, or a bit of both.
We start with a measured survey, then develop a concept that balances multi-function areas, planting structure and practical circulation. Once you approve the design, our build team handles groundwork, drainage where needed, joinery, paving, electrics for lighting, and planting—managed to a clear schedule. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy working practices, and a handover pack with care guidance. Homeowners choose us for small garden design & build in City of Westminster because we plan carefully, communicate clearly, and deliver finishes that stand up to London living.
In W2 we often contend with restricted access, basement lightwells and tight side returns, so we design components that can be brought through safely and efficiently. We plan waste removal and deliveries around parking controls and busy routes near Whiteleys and Paddington. Many gardens sit in partial shade from surrounding buildings, so we specify resilient planting and consider drainage carefully. Where properties are listed or within conservation areas, we help you understand what needs approval before work starts.

Costs vary with access, levels, and specification, but most Bayswater projects fall into clear bands. For design only, budget roughly £900–£2,500 depending on complexity. A full small garden build for a compact W2 courtyard is often £8,000–£25,000, while premium schemes with bespoke joinery, lighting, and high-end paving can reach £30,000+. We provide itemised options so you can prioritise what matters most.
Typical timelines are 2–4 weeks from design sign-off to complete build for many small Bayswater gardens. Simpler refreshes (containers, lighting upgrades, minor paving) can take 3–7 days, while projects with new drainage, steps, or extensive joinery may run 4–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access, drying times for groundworks, and lead times for bespoke materials. We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planters, or installing low-level lighting. However, City of Westminster rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments, significant level changes, or structures like pergolas and tall screens. If your property is a mansion conversion or period flat, freeholder consent may also apply. We check constraints early and can guide you on permissions before you commit.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering defects arising from our construction. This typically includes paving and sub-bases, retaining details, and built-in joinery where specified. Products such as lighting fittings, membranes, and specialist materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we pass on at handover. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance plans to protect your investment.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, clay pavers for period character, and composite or hardwood seating with built-in storage. For planting, we often use container schemes, climbers on trellis for vertical interest, and evergreen structure for year-round privacy. Mirrors and layered lighting can brighten shaded courtyards and make spaces feel wider. We’ll recommend options that suit your property style, budget, and how you want to use the garden.
