Mayfair terraces often come with tight footprints, high expectations and demanding levels. From Berkeley Square to Mount Street, we create layered gardens that feel calm and purposeful, not cluttered. Our terrace garden builds combine retaining walls, steps and access routes, and multi-level planting to maximise usable space. The result is an outdoor room that performs in every season.
Working across the terrace gardens Mayfair area, we’re used to Georgian mansions, palatial townhouses and luxury apartments with roof terraces and internal courtyards. Many properties have heritage detailing and premium stonework that needs careful matching. We design with proportion in mind—screening, seating and planting that complements period façades and contemporary penthouses alike. Finishes are chosen to look established, not newly installed.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then produce a clear design with materials, planting and lighting layouts. Build programmes are planned around access restrictions, neighbour considerations and clean working practices. Every project is managed end-to-end, with transparent milestones and snagging at completion. Homeowners choose us for terrace gardens in City of Westminster because we deliver crisp detailing and dependable aftercare.
Mayfair sites often involve restricted access, controlled parking and strict noise expectations, especially around W1. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit the City of Westminster environment. Many terraces sit above basements, so we design lightweight build-ups, manage loadings and specify reliable drainage layers. Materials are selected to complement nearby streetscapes and premium façades, including around Claridge’s Hotel and St James’s.

Costs vary with levels, access and specification. As a guide, a compact terrace refresh with planting, lighting and minor paving might be £6,000–£15,000. A multi-level build with retaining walls, steps, drainage solutions and bespoke seating is often £20,000–£60,000+. Roof terraces or basement-adjacent builds with structural considerations, premium stone and irrigation can rise beyond that. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after survey.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on demolition, level changes and the amount of hard landscaping. A straightforward upgrade with planters, lighting and irrigation may be completed in 1–2 weeks. Multi-level works with retaining walls, new steps and drainage typically need 4–8 weeks. Access constraints, delivery scheduling in W1, weather, and specialist items like water features can extend timelines.
Many terrace garden improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like paving, planting, lighting and freestanding planters. However, listed buildings, conservation considerations, new boundary treatments, significant level changes, or visible structures (such as tall screening or balustrades) may require consent. City of Westminster rules can be specific, so we check constraints early, advise on what’s likely to need approval, and can support drawings and documentation if required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving and built seating, subject to normal use and maintenance. Products and components (for example lighting drivers, pumps for water features, and irrigation parts) are covered by their manufacturer warranties. We also complete a thorough handover and snagging visit, and we’re available for seasonal aftercare and adjustments.
Popular choices include Yorkstone or porcelain paving, brick or stone retaining walls, and timber or composite seating with integrated storage. Planting can range from evergreen structure (yew, bay, pleached screening) to softer perennials and scented climbers, with multi-level planters for depth. Water features can be compact rills or wall spouts, paired with low-glare lighting. We guide selections to suit your architecture, privacy needs and maintenance preference.
