Soho gardens often need smart planting and resilient lawns to cope with shade, heat and high footfall. We deliver tailored lawn installation, border planting and mulching for courtyards and roof terraces across W1. Whether you’re near Soho Square or walking distance from Carnaby Street, we plan for year-round interest and easy maintenance. Expect crisp edges, healthy soil and planting that suits your light levels.
Homes and conversions in Soho range from Georgian townhouses to mansion flats and commercial conversions with tucked-away outdoor spaces. These properties frequently have limited access, elevated terraces and mixed microclimates caused by surrounding buildings. Our soft landscaping Soho area service is designed for tight footprints, with careful tree planting, shrub planting and hedging that won’t overwhelm the space. We also specify topsoil and compost blends to improve performance where existing ground is tired or compacted.
We start with a site visit to assess drainage, sunlight, wind and access, then propose a clear planting and installation plan. Our team protects surfaces, manages waste responsibly and schedules deliveries to minimise disruption on busy streets. We source quality turf, topsoil and nursery stock, and install irrigation where consistent watering is essential. Fine Landscaping is trusted for reliable timelines, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning around controlled parking, timed deliveries and restricted access. Soho plots can be sheltered and shaded, so we choose plants that cope with lower light and warmer walls. We’re used to narrow entrances, shared hallways and roof-level terraces, and we protect communal areas throughout. For properties near Fitzrovia, Mayfair or Leicester Square, we coordinate logistics to keep the job running smoothly.

Costs vary with access, planting density and whether you need soil improvement. As a guide, lawn installation in W1 often starts from £60–£120 per m² supplied and laid. Border planting commonly ranges from £80–£200 per m² depending on plant sizes and specification. Tree planting can be £250–£1,500+ per tree, and irrigation typically adds £900–£3,000+ for small to medium gardens.
Most small Soho courtyards are completed in 1–3 days for soil preparation, lawning and straightforward planting. Larger schemes with multiple borders, hedging, tree planting and irrigation usually take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access (stairs or lifts), delivery windows, the amount of topsoil required and whether we’re working around building management rules. Weather and plant availability can also affect scheduling.
Most soft landscaping in City of Westminster is permitted, especially planting, turfing, mulching and installing irrigation. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas and works near protected trees. Tree works may require checks for Tree Preservation Orders, and communal gardens can need freeholder or managing agent approval. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and help you confirm requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements such as edging, irrigation pipework and ground preparation carried out by our team. Planting is living material, so performance depends on watering, weather and aftercare, but we supply clear maintenance guidance and can offer ongoing care visits. If an issue arises due to installation faults, we’ll put it right promptly. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing with your proposal.
We can install hard-wearing turf or shade-tolerant lawn varieties, depending on light and use. For borders, popular options include evergreen structure with seasonal perennials, scented planting for courtyards, and compact hedging for privacy. Tree choices can range from multi-stem specimens for screening to smaller ornamental trees for terraces. We’ll recommend topsoil grades, mulch types and irrigation layouts to match your garden’s conditions and maintenance preferences.
