Shepherd's Bush gardens often need clever level changes to make them usable, especially around W12 streets near Westfield London and Shepherd's Bush Green. Our terrace garden builds create defined zones for dining, planting, and play without wasting space. We combine retaining walls, steps and access routes, and integrated drainage so the garden works in every season. The result is a calm, structured outdoor space that feels larger and easier to enjoy.
We regularly work across the terrace gardens Shepherd's Bush area, including White City, Holland Park and Hammersmith. Typical properties range from Victorian terraces with narrow side access to mansion conversions and modern apartments with raised courtyards. Each brings different constraints—shared boundaries, basement lightwells, or changes in level between rear extensions and the garden. We tailor layouts, materials and construction methods to protect neighbouring structures and maximise usable space.
Our process starts with a site visit, levels survey and a clear design proposal with options for planting, lighting and water use. We manage groundworks, retaining structures, irrigation and electrics as a coordinated build, keeping disruption down and the site clean. You’ll receive a written specification, staged payments, and practical aftercare advice for planting establishment. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, consistent crews, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the terrace gardens in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, we often encounter compact plots, tight access, and shared party walls. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption on busy W12 roads. London clay and heavy rainfall make drainage and retaining wall detailing essential, so we specify proper sub-bases, weep vents and water management. Materials are chosen to complement Victorian brickwork as well as contemporary apartment courtyards.

Costs vary with levels, access, and the amount of structural work required. As a guide, smaller terrace schemes with simple steps and planting often start around £8,000–£15,000. Mid-range builds with retaining walls, drainage, lighting and seating commonly fall between £15,000–£35,000. Larger multi-level gardens with premium stone, irrigation and water features can be £35,000–£70,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site survey.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on the number of levels and how much excavation is needed. A straightforward retaining wall with steps and planting may be completed in 10–15 working days. Complex schemes with multiple terraces, lighting, irrigation and bespoke seating can take 6–10 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access through the property, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for stone or specialist features.
Many garden landscaping works are permitted development, but terracing can trigger extra checks when it changes ground levels significantly, affects drainage, or involves structures close to boundaries. If your home is a flat, a listed building, or within a conservation area, permissions and freeholder consent may be required. We’ll flag likely issues early, advise on drawings, and help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for structural landscaping elements such as retaining walls, steps, paving and built seating, provided the garden is used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like lighting, pumps and irrigation components. The warranty covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage or alterations by others. We also offer an aftercare visit option to check settlement, drainage performance and planting establishment.
We design terraces to suit both period and modern homes, using materials that look right and perform well. Popular choices include brick or rendered retaining walls, porcelain or natural stone paving, timber or composite decking, and steel or timber edging. Seating can be built-in masonry benches or timber platforms, with optional pergolas. Water features range from simple rills to self-contained bowls, and lighting can be subtle step lights or uplighters. We guide you through options based on style, budget and maintenance.
