Landscaping for homes in Mayfair

In Mayfair, W1, levels, drainage and how the garden is reached decide feasibility long before a planting plan matters.

Levels and drainage are resolved before surfaces are set. Tree surgery, ecology and boundary structures are scoped separately when the brief reaches them.

Mayfair includes conservation streets under Westminster. External works, elevations and visible materials may need careful consent checks even when internal packages do not. Formal decisions remain with Westminster or your appointed professional.
