Landscaping for homes in Soho
In Soho, 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.
Soho 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.
Soho's residential fabric sits above its famous ground floors, with flats accessed via Berwick Street, Wardour Street, and Dean Street. For landscaping, that context matters. Local character in Soho is often summarised as “Central location”, and access and neighbour density still vary address by address. Send photographs from the house looking out and from the far end looking back, rough dimensions, and note how materials can reach the garden.
