Mayfair gardens often hide level changes behind immaculate façades, from mews courtyards near Mount Street to terraces close to Berkeley Square. We design and build steps that feel like part of the architecture, not an afterthought. Expect crisp lines, comfortable risers and finishes that complement premium paving and planting. Lighting and handrails can be integrated for discreet safety after dark.
Homes in W1 range from Georgian mansions and palatial townhouses to luxury apartments with roof terraces and podium gardens. These properties demand sympathetic detailing, whether you’re matching existing stone thresholds or creating new access between patio and lawn. We regularly work around delicate façades, basement lightwells and tight side returns. The result is a staircase that looks original to the property and performs for daily use.
Fine Landscaping manages the full journey: survey, design, material selection, build and final snagging. We set out levels precisely, prepare robust sub-bases and ensure consistent risers and safe treads. You’ll receive clear specifications, tidy working practices and reliable scheduling from our Norbury team (around 40 minutes away). Every installation is completed to a high standard and backed by our workmanship warranty.
Working in the City of Westminster means planning for controlled parking, timed deliveries and careful waste removal. Mayfair sites can have restricted access via mews lanes and shared entrances, so we schedule materials to minimise disruption. We also account for older substructures and basement conversions common in W1, ensuring load-bearing build-ups and effective drainage. Our approach keeps finishes pristine while meeting practical site constraints.

Costs in Mayfair vary with materials, access and the number of steps. As a guide, simple block or brick steps often start around £1,200–£3,000, while natural stone flights commonly fall between £3,000–£8,000+. Bespoke features such as curved or spiral staircases, integrated lighting, and premium handrails can take projects to £8,000–£20,000+. A site visit in W1 allows an accurate specification and budget.
Most small step installations take 2–5 days, including excavation, sub-base preparation and finishing. A full garden staircase or multi-level access scheme typically takes 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on the number of risers, curing time for concrete, drainage requirements, and whether we’re matching existing stonework. Access and delivery constraints in Mayfair can also affect scheduling, but we plan logistics early to keep the programme on track.
Many garden steps are permitted development, especially when they’re part of landscaping and don’t significantly alter the building’s frontage. However, City of Westminster rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation considerations, railings to the front, or works affecting public-facing elevations. We’ll advise during the survey, check constraints where relevant, and can work with your architect or planning consultant. Our designs aim to stay compliant without compromising quality.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our steps and garden staircase installations. This covers defects arising from installation, such as movement caused by inadequate sub-base preparation, poor jointing, or incorrect setting-out of levels. Materials are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable (for example, lighting components). Normal wear, accidental damage and issues caused by third-party alterations aren’t included, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
We build natural stone steps (including premium paving stones), block steps with crisp edging, traditional brick steps, and sleeper steps for softer garden schemes. For statement access, we can create curved layouts or bespoke spiral staircases, with optional lighting integration and handrails. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your property style—Georgian detailing, modern minimalism or classic courtyard design—while ensuring safe tread depth, consistent risers and durable construction.
