Pimlico gardens are often compact, shaded and overlooked, yet they can still feel generous with the right layout. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or a short walk from Pimlico tube station, we design outdoor rooms that suit city living. Expect multi-function areas for dining, planting and storage without clutter. The result is a refined garden that complements Pimlico’s elegant streetscapes.
In SW1 we regularly work with Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions where space is tight and access can be tricky. Courtyards, roof terraces and small rear gardens benefit from clean lines, durable materials and planting that thrives in urban conditions. We also plan around privacy needs from neighbouring windows and balconies. Every scheme is tailored to how you actually use the space day to day.
We start with a measured survey, then produce a clear concept and detailed build plan before any work begins. Our team manages the full design-and-build, including lighting, joinery and planting, with tidy working practices and realistic timelines. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we communicate clearly and deliver high-quality finishes. All builds are backed by a 10-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Small garden design & build in City of Westminster often involves tight access, resident parking controls and strict waste removal rules. We plan deliveries, loading and skip permits to suit Pimlico streets and mansion block courtyards. Urban gardens here can be windy, shaded and dry, so we specify resilient plants and soil improvements. We also design around shared boundaries and party walls common in SW1 properties.

Costs vary with size, access and specification, but for SW1 small gardens a design-and-build project often starts around £6,000–£12,000 for a simple refresh. Mid-range builds with paving, lighting and built-in seating typically fall between £12,000–£30,000. Premium schemes with bespoke joinery, irrigation, high-end stone and mature planting can be £30,000–£60,000+. We provide an itemised estimate after survey.
Most small garden projects in Pimlico take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed and materials are booked in. A straightforward courtyard makeover may be completed in under a week, while schemes with joinery, lighting and multiple levels can take longer. Lead times depend on bespoke items and stone availability. Access restrictions, parking arrangements and weather can also affect the schedule, especially in SW1.
Many small garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planters, lighting and typical boundary treatments. However, Pimlico properties may be listed, in conservation areas, or part of mansion blocks with freeholder rules. The City of Westminster can also have requirements for drainage, tree works and highway-related permissions. We flag likely constraints early, check what applies to your address, and help you proceed compliantly.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, walls, steps, edging and built-in joinery structures (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer guarantees apply separately for products like lighting, composite decking or membranes. Planting is living material, so it’s covered for establishment when cared for as advised. Any snagging issues are handled promptly after completion.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, natural sandstone for a softer period feel, and timber or composite decking for raised areas. We often add mirrors to bounce light, container planting for flexibility, and built-in storage seating to keep the space tidy. Vertical planting on trellis or green walls improves privacy without narrowing the garden. We guide you through options to suit your property style, budget and maintenance preferences.
