Bayswater gardens often need smarter levels, safer access and planting that thrives in shade and wind. We create terraces that work for entertaining, relaxing and everyday use, whether you’re close to Queensway or walking distance from Hyde Park. Expect crisp lines, well-considered drainage and layered planting that looks established quickly. Every build is tailored to your site, not a template.
Local homes include stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats, where outdoor space can be compact and overlooked. We’re used to working with raised ground-floor terraces, basement lightwells and shared boundaries, keeping neighbours informed and finishes immaculate. Many clients want discreet screening, multi-level planting and seating that doesn’t steal floor area. Our designs suit the cosmopolitan feel of the terrace gardens Bayswater area is known for, without overcomplicating maintenance.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then produce a clear concept and build specification. You’ll get a staged programme, tidy working practices and careful protection of communal routes and internal finishes. Our team manages groundworks, retaining walls, irrigation, lighting and planting as one coordinated package. Homeowners choose us for dependable timelines, transparent options and workmanship that lasts.
Working in W2 often means narrow access, timed deliveries and paid parking, so we plan logistics to keep disruption down. Many properties sit above basements, so we design terrace loads, drainage runs and waterproofing interfaces with care. We also factor in mature trees near Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, selecting rootsafe construction methods where needed. For terrace gardens in City of Westminster, we can liaise on permissions and party wall considerations early.

Costs vary with levels, access and specification. As a guide, a small terrace refresh with new paving, planting and lighting can start from £8,000–£18,000. Multi-level builds with retaining walls, steps, drainage and irrigation commonly fall between £25,000–£60,000+. Premium stone, bespoke seating, and water features can take projects beyond that. We’ll survey your site and provide itemised options to match priorities and budget.
Most terrace projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on excavation, retaining walls and curing times. A straightforward re-pave with planting may be completed in 1–2 weeks, while multi-level gardens with steps, drainage runs, lighting and irrigation typically need 4–8 weeks. Access constraints around mansion blocks, delivery windows and weather can affect timing. We provide a realistic programme before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as paving, planting and like-for-like repairs. However, raised platforms, significant changes to ground levels, new boundary walls, lighting positions, and works affecting listed buildings or conservation areas may need consent. In the City of Westminster, rules can be stricter and neighbours may be impacted. We check constraints during survey, advise what’s likely required, and can support drawings and applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving installation and built seating, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting transformers, irrigation components and pumps for water features. We also offer a practical completion check and a follow-up visit to address any settling issues. Warranty terms are supplied in writing with your proposal.
Clients often choose porcelain or natural stone paving for a clean townhouse look, paired with brick or rendered retaining walls to match existing façades. For planting, we use layered evergreens, shade-tolerant perennials and climbers for privacy on boundaries. Seating can be built-in with timber or stone tops, and water features range from rills to compact bowls. We’ll present options based on light, outlook, maintenance preferences and budget.
