Chelsea gardens often need clever design to balance entertaining space with greenery. Whether you’re near King’s Road or a short walk from the Chelsea Physic Garden, we create back gardens that feel calm, considered and easy to maintain. Expect crisp levels, premium finishes and planting that suits the light in your plot. Every detail is planned around how you actually use the space.
Across SW3 and SW10 we regularly work on Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with compact courtyards or long, narrow plots. These properties benefit from strong structure: clean paving lines, built-in seating, discreet storage and layered planting to soften boundaries. We also design for overlooking windows and privacy, using fencing, screens and climbers without making the garden feel boxed in. The result is a garden that complements period architecture while performing like a modern outdoor room.
We start with a site visit to measure, discuss access and understand your priorities, then produce a clear design and specification. Our team handles groundwork, drainage, electrics for lighting, and precise installation of patios, decking, lawns and structures. You’ll receive a written schedule, tidy working practices, and regular updates throughout the build. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, premium workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Back garden landscaping Chelsea area projects often involve restricted access, basement lightwells and tight parking controls. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit local streets and neighbours, and we build with robust sub-bases to cope with London clay and heavy foot traffic. Where properties are listed or in conservation areas, we advise on sympathetic materials and details. Our designs also account for overlooking from upper floors, using smart screening and lighting placement.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. In Chelsea, a small courtyard refresh with paving, planting and lighting often starts around £8,000–£18,000.

Full redesigns with structures, premium stone, bespoke joinery and water features can be £50,000–£120,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks on site. A straightforward patio and planting scheme may be completed in 2–3 weeks, while gardens needing drainage, level changes, decking, fencing and lighting typically take 4–6 weeks. Larger builds with structures, water features or complex access can run 8–12 weeks. Timescales depend on design approvals, material lead times, weather and any discoveries during excavation.
Many back garden works are permitted development, such as replacing paving, installing decking at low levels, new planting and most fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, outbuildings, or works affecting drainage and party boundaries. We flag likely constraints early and can help you check RBKC guidance before you commit. If permission is needed, we’ll advise on compliant design options.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for core landscaping elements such as patios, sub-bases, edging, decking structure, fencing installation and built features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, composite decking boards and pumps for water features. We also offer aftercare guidance for planting and lawns to help everything establish properly. Any snagging issues are handled promptly.
We tailor designs to your property style and how you entertain. Popular options include porcelain paving, York stone, granite setts, composite or hardwood decking, and contemporary slatted fencing or brick piers with panels. Planting can range from architectural evergreens to cottage-style borders, with irrigation if required. For ambience, we specify low-glare LED lighting and water features from simple rills to statement bowls. We bring samples and visuals to help you choose confidently.
