Earl's Court gardens often hide real potential behind period façades and shared access. We design and build complete back garden makeovers near Earl's Court tube station and around Philbeach Gardens, balancing style with everyday practicality. Expect crisp paving lines, clever levels, and planting that thrives in London conditions. Whether you want a dining terrace, a calm green retreat, or a family-friendly lawn, we tailor every detail.
Much of SW5 is made up of Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, so layouts can be compact, shaded, or split across levels. We’re experienced with side returns, basement lightwells, and awkward boundaries that need smarter fencing and screening. If you’re in Kensington, West Brompton, Chelsea or Fulham, we’ll shape the design to your building’s character and the way you use the space. Our plans also consider privacy, noise, and year-round colour.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal, then schedule the build with minimal disruption to neighbours and access routes. Our team handles groundwork, drainage, electrics for lighting, and the finishing touches such as edging and planting. You’ll receive a written specification, staged payments, and tidy handover with care advice. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, premium workmanship, and dependable aftercare.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means tight access, controlled parking and close neighbours. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit SW5 streets and mansion blocks. Many gardens have clay-heavy soil and shaded corners, so we specify the right drainage, sub-bases and plant choices. Where boundaries are sensitive, we install fencing and screening with a clean, period-appropriate finish.

Costs vary with access, levels and the specification, but typical projects in the Earl's Court area start around £6,000–£12,000 for a small refresh (patio, turf, planting). Mid-size redesigns with decking, fencing and lighting often sit between £15,000–£35,000. Larger builds with structural work, bespoke joinery, drainage upgrades and water features can reach £40,000–£80,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit.
A straightforward patio, lawn and planting scheme usually takes 1–2 weeks on site. A full rebuild with new levels, fencing, decking, lighting and structures commonly takes 3–6 weeks. Complex gardens with restricted access, drainage issues or bespoke features can take 6–10+ weeks. Timescales depend on design approvals, material lead times, weather, and any shared access arrangements typical of SW5 properties.
Most back garden works such as patios, decking at low level, planting and like-for-like fencing are usually permitted development. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, high boundary treatments, significant level changes, or structures such as large pergolas and outbuildings. We check constraints relevant to your address in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and advise what’s needed before work begins, including drainage and surface water considerations.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as paving build-ups, decking subframes, fencing installation and constructed structures, provided normal use and basic maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting fittings, composite decking and membranes. Planting is living material, so we offer practical aftercare guidance and can arrange maintenance visits. Any snagging issues are addressed promptly after completion.
For period homes in SW5, popular choices include porcelain or sandstone patios, slimline composite or hardwood decking, and painted timber or contemporary slatted fencing. We often add layered planting with evergreens, shade-tolerant perennials, and climbers for privacy, plus warm LED lighting for steps and borders. Water features can be subtle rills or self-contained bowls. We guide you through samples, layouts and maintenance levels to match your style and budget.
