Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Monument
We build patios, decks and garden rooms across City of London. Homes here are almost all flats: the listed concrete towers and terraces of the Barbican and the neighbouring Golden Lane estate, plus apartments in converted offices and warehouses around Smithfield and Aldgate. There are very few houses, so work is internal and usually inside a managed block.
Patios & Gardens in Monument
A garden you will actually use.
London gardens are small, overlooked and often badly drained. Good hard landscaping fixes all three. We build patios, decks, walls and garden rooms that make a narrow plot feel like another room of the house.

Homes in City of London
Homes here are almost all flats: the listed concrete towers and terraces of the Barbican and the neighbouring Golden Lane estate, plus apartments in converted offices and warehouses around Smithfield and Aldgate. There are very few houses, so work is internal and usually inside a managed block.
Planning and the council
Much of the Square Mile is covered by conservation areas and listed buildings, and the Barbican has its own listed building guidelines, so even internal changes can need consent. Expect to agree working hours, lift use and deliveries with the building's management before starting.
Nearby
We also cover Barbican, Smithfield, Aldgate, Blackfriars, Bank, Moorgate, Temple, St Paul's and Broadgate.
FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Monument
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Monument?
Yes. Monument is in City of London, where we work every week alongside Barbican, Smithfield, Aldgate and Blackfriars.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain is consistent, stain-resistant and very low maintenance. Natural stone has more character and weathers over time. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see both against your brickwork.
Will a new patio cause damp?
Not if it is built correctly. We keep the finished level at least 150mm below the damp-proof course, or add a drainage channel against the wall where that is not possible.
Does a garden room need planning permission?
Most garden rooms are permitted development if they are single-storey, under 2.5m high near a boundary, and not used as a separate dwelling. Flats and some conservation areas are exceptions. We check before you commit.
