Bayswater gardens often need smart planting to balance privacy, light and usable space. We create refined lawns, borders and screening that suit everything from Queensway courtyards to larger plots near Kensington Gardens. Whether you want a fresh lawn installation or a complete replant, we focus on strong structure and seasonal interest. Our team also installs irrigation to keep new planting thriving.
Homeowners around W2 commonly have stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats, each with different access and garden proportions. We’re used to working in compact rear gardens, raised terraces and communal spaces where neat logistics matter. Planting schemes are designed to complement classic façades while improving privacy and softness. If your garden sits close to Hyde Park, we can specify wind-tolerant and shade-friendly varieties where needed.
We start with a site visit to assess light, drainage, soil condition and how you use the space. Next comes a clear plan covering lawn installation, border planting, tree and shrub planting, hedging, topsoil, mulching and irrigation where appropriate. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with careful protection of pathways and clean handover. Fine Landscaping is trusted for consistent quality, transparent communication and long-lasting results.
The Bayswater area includes basement gardens, raised patios and tight side access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. In the City of Westminster, parking and loading can be restricted, so we schedule around permits and practical access windows. Soil can vary from compacted ground in converted properties to imported fill, so we improve it with quality topsoil and organic matter. We also choose plants that cope with shade from tall buildings and garden walls.

Costs depend on size, access and plant specification. As a guide, lawn installation typically ranges from £45–£90 per m², depending on turf type and ground preparation. Border planting often starts around £800–£2,500 for smaller gardens, rising with mature shrubs, trees and irrigation. Topsoil, mulching and disposal can add £300–£1,500. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–5 days, depending on the scope. A straightforward lawn replacement may be completed in 1–2 days, while full border planting with soil improvement, hedging and irrigation can take 3–7 days. Timescales are affected by access through period properties, the amount of excavation needed, and whether planting is phased for seasonal availability. We agree a clear schedule before work begins.
Soft landscaping is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for planting, turfing, mulching and irrigation. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, listed buildings, or where trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order. Some communal gardens also have freeholder or management company rules. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can help you check requirements before committing to the work.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering installation standards such as ground preparation, edging, and irrigation fitting (where installed by us). Planting is living material, so performance depends on weather and aftercare; we provide clear care guidance and can offer maintenance visits to support establishment. If an issue is linked to our installation, we return to put it right. All terms are confirmed in writing.
We tailor schemes to your garden style and light levels. Popular options include hardy evergreen hedging for privacy, layered shrub planting for structure, ornamental trees for height, and pollinator-friendly perennials for seasonal colour. For lawns, we can specify durable family turf or finer ornamental turf, plus quality topsoil and mulch for better rooting. We’ll guide you through plant choices, spacing and irrigation options to match your budget and maintenance preference.
