Marylebone gardens often need planting that looks refined yet copes with shade, wind and overlooked boundaries. Whether you’re close to Marylebone High Street or a short walk from Regent’s Park, we design and install lawns, borders, shrubs and hedging that suit the scale of your outdoor space. Our team can refresh tired beds with quality topsoil and mulching, or create a brand-new planting scheme from scratch. The result is a garden that feels established quickly and stays attractive through the seasons.
We regularly work around Georgian townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions where access can be tight and outdoor areas are compact. In the soft landscaping Marylebone area, we’re used to courtyard gardens, roof terraces and shared front gardens that demand neat edges and controlled growth. Plant choices are matched to aspect and microclimate, with attention to privacy screening and low-allergen options where needed. If you’re in Mayfair, Fitzrovia or Paddington, we can coordinate deliveries and timings to keep disruption minimal.
We start with a site visit to assess drainage, light levels and existing soil condition, then propose planting, lawn and irrigation options that fit your budget. Installation is carried out with careful protection of paths, communal areas and internal access routes, followed by a clear aftercare plan for watering and feeding. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind, and we only specify reliable materials and nursery-quality plants. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, clean finishes and planting that performs in London conditions.
Working in soft landscaping in City of Westminster means planning for restricted access, timed deliveries and controlled parking, especially around Baker Street and W1. Many gardens sit above basements or have raised planters, so we assess load, drainage and root space before planting trees or hedging. London clay and compacted ground are common, so we improve structure with quality topsoil, organic matter and mulching. We also keep an eye on building management rules for mansion blocks and communal spaces.

Costs vary with access, planting density and whether you need soil improvement. As a guide, border planting and mulching often starts from £800–£2,500 for small gardens, while larger schemes with shrubs, hedging and topsoil can be £3,000–£10,000+. Lawn installation typically ranges from £35–£80 per m² depending on turf type and ground preparation. Irrigation adds roughly £800–£3,500 based on zones and controls.
Most Marylebone soft landscaping projects take 1–3 days for a courtyard refresh (mulch, borders, small shrubs), and 1–2 weeks for more involved work such as lawn installation, hedging runs, tree planting and irrigation. Timescales depend on access, soil condition, weather, and lead times for specific plants. If we’re improving poor ground with topsoil and compost, we may schedule in stages to allow settling and proper watering.
Most soft landscaping—lawns, planting beds, shrubs, mulching and irrigation—doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if there are Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) affecting existing trees. Some mansion blocks also have management rules for communal areas. We’ll check the relevant City of Westminster requirements and advise before any tree work or changes that could affect boundaries or neighbouring properties.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements such as bed preparation, edging, irrigation installation and planting layout, provided the garden is maintained in line with our aftercare guidance. Plants are living materials, so establishment depends on watering, weather and site conditions; where possible we source robust, nursery-grade stock and specify suitable species for the aspect. We also offer practical handover notes so you know how to keep everything thriving.
We can create anything from formal evergreen structure to softer, seasonal planting. Popular options in Marylebone include shade-tolerant borders, architectural shrubs, pleached screening trees, and neat hedging for privacy. For lawns, we’ll advise on hard-wearing turf versus premium ornamental mixes. Topsoil grades and mulch types are selected to suit your soil and planting (e.g., composted bark, leaf mould blends). We guide you through colour palettes, heights and maintenance levels before installation.
