Shepherd's Bush gardens are often compact, overlooked and expected to do more than one job. Whether you’re a short walk from Westfield London or near Shepherd's Bush Green, we design spaces that feel larger, calmer and easier to use. Our small-garden builds focus on smart space planning, vertical planting and multi-function areas. The result is a garden that looks great from the kitchen and works for real life.
Across W12 you’ll find Victorian terraces with narrow plots, mansion conversions with shared boundaries, and modern apartments needing balcony-style solutions. We regularly create container-led gardens for paved courtyards, and privacy-friendly layouts for overlooked rear gardens. For period homes, we choose materials that suit brickwork and traditional detailing; for newer builds, we lean into crisp lines and low-maintenance finishes. If access is tight, we design around it from day one.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear design proposal, then move into a programmed build with one point of contact throughout. You’ll get practical guidance on planting, lighting levels and maintenance—plus tidy working and respectful neighbour management. We use proven construction methods and specify durable materials for long-term performance. Local homeowners choose us for transparent communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that matches the design.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, many gardens sit in shade from neighbouring extensions and tall boundaries, so we select plants that thrive with limited sun. Access can be narrow through Victorian side returns, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and build sequencing carefully. Parking and loading near busy routes by White City and the Shepherd's Bush Empire can be tricky, so we schedule efficiently and keep disruption down. We also consider drainage and levels to prevent pooling on compact patios.

Costs vary with access, levels, and how much is being rebuilt. As a guide, a simple refresh with container planting, lighting and minor paving changes may start around £3,000–£7,000. A full small-garden redesign with new paving, built-in seating/storage, planting and electrics often falls between £8,000–£20,000+. Premium materials, bespoke joinery and complex drainage can push budgets higher. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most small garden projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A light makeover can be completed in a few days, while a full rebuild with paving, raised beds, lighting and built-in storage typically needs 10–15 working days. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for concrete, and lead times for bespoke joinery or specialist tiles. We give a clear programme before work begins.
Many small garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planters, installing low-level lighting and building modest raised beds. However, rules can apply to boundary heights, listed buildings, conservation areas, and drainage requirements for new hardstanding. If you’re in a mansion conversion or close to shared boundaries, we also check party wall considerations. We’ll flag any permissions early and can help you prepare the right information for the council if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the built elements of your garden, such as paving installation, retaining/raised structures, built-in seating and timber or composite features (subject to correct use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like lighting fittings, membranes and paving materials. We also offer aftercare guidance for planting and seasonal checks. If an issue arises, we respond quickly and put it right.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, brick edging to suit Victorian terraces, and timber or composite decking where levels are awkward. For planting, we often use container planting with evergreen structure, climbers for vertical greening, and shade-tolerant perennials. Mirrors can boost light and perceived space when positioned safely, and layered lighting adds depth at night. We’ll recommend options based on sun, privacy needs, and how you want to use the garden.
