Outdoor space around Victoria station is often compact, overlooked, and used hard. We design and build small gardens that feel larger through smart space planning, vertical planting, and carefully placed mirrors. Whether you’re near Victoria Street or closer to Westminster Cathedral, we create a layout that suits how you actually live. Expect clean lines, durable materials, and planting that looks good all year.
The Victoria area includes mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments, each with different constraints. Courtyard gardens in Pimlico and Belgravia often need privacy screening and clever storage, while apartment terraces benefit from container planting and lightweight finishes. We’re used to tight access routes, shared entrances and timed deliveries. The result is a garden that’s tailored to your building and your routine.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and concept plan, followed by a clear build specification and schedule. We handle design, sourcing and installation, keeping disruption low and the site tidy. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, skilled workmanship and reliable aftercare. We’re around 35 minutes away, so you get responsive support during and after the build.
SW1 gardens often sit between tall buildings, creating shade, wind tunnels and dry pockets. We select plants and materials that cope with these microclimates and still look refined. Access and parking can be restricted in the City of Westminster, so we plan deliveries, protect communal areas and work to agreed hours. Our builds suit mansion block courtyards, townhouse patios and balcony gardens alike.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a simple refresh with new paving sections, containers and planting can start around £4,000–£8,000. A full small garden redesign with new hard landscaping, built-in seating/storage, lighting and planting typically falls between £10,000–£25,000+. Premium materials, complex levels, drainage upgrades or bespoke joinery can increase the budget.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A lighter makeover using container planting, screens and lighting can be completed in a few days, while full hard landscaping with steps, drainage, built-in storage and electrics may take 3–5 weeks. Timelines depend on access in SW1, delivery slots, weather, and lead times for bespoke items.
Many small garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting, raised beds and most fencing within limits. However, the City of Westminster has conservation areas and listed buildings, and mansion blocks may have freeholder or management-company rules. Lighting and electrics must also meet safety standards. We flag likely permissions early, check constraints, and can help you prepare the right information before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, walls, steps, edging and built structures, when used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting fixtures, composite decking or membranes. Planting is living material, so we advise on care and can offer maintenance plans to help everything establish well.
Popular options include porcelain paving for a crisp, easy-clean finish, clay pavers to suit Georgian settings, and composite decking for lightweight terraces. We often add built-in benches with hidden storage, slimline screens, mirrors to extend sightlines, and layered lighting for evening use. Planting might include evergreen structure, climbers for vertical interest, and drought-tolerant containers. We guide choices based on light levels, access and your maintenance preferences.
