Creating therapeutic outdoor space in SW5 calls for thoughtful design and careful detailing. We build gardens that support mobility, confidence and wellbeing, with clear routes, safe boundaries and inviting places to pause. Near Earl's Court tube station and Philbeach Gardens, outdoor areas often need smart layouts to maximise usable space without feeling clinical. Our approach keeps the garden welcoming, familiar and easy to navigate.
The Earl's Court area is defined by Victorian architecture, mansion conversions and period flats, often with compact rear gardens or shared courtyards. Garden square properties can benefit from zoned seating and gentle wayfinding, while tighter plots suit raised beds and vertical sensory planting. We regularly work across Kensington, West Brompton, Chelsea and Fulham, tailoring access solutions to steps, narrow side returns and basement-level patios. Every scheme balances practicality with a premium finish that suits the property.
We start with a site visit to understand resident needs, supervision requirements and daily routines, then produce a clear plan and phased schedule. Installations focus on slip resistance, robust edging, handrails where needed, and planting chosen for low maintenance and seasonal interest. You’ll get transparent specifications, tidy working practices and respectful on-site conduct, especially important for occupied buildings. Clients choose us for consistent communication, quality workmanship and long-lasting results backed by strong guarantees.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be the biggest challenge: tight entrances, controlled parking and limited storage space are common. We plan deliveries and waste removal carefully and use low-noise, considerate working methods for residential blocks. Many SW5 properties have basement lightwells, level changes and older drainage runs, so we survey levels and water flow before finalising paths and planting beds. The result is a scheme that suits local building styles and performs reliably.

Costs vary with access, levels and the features you choose. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with seating, safe boundaries and new planting often starts around £4,000–£8,000. A more comprehensive scheme with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails, lighting and shade structures is commonly £12,000–£30,000+. Larger shared gardens or memory gardens with multiple zones can exceed this, especially where groundwork and drainage upgrades are needed.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks for smaller courtyards and 3–6 weeks for larger, multi-zone gardens. Timescales depend on demolition, groundwork, drainage, and the complexity of accessibility features such as ramps, handrails and paving patterns. Access restrictions around mansion blocks can slow material handling, and planting seasons may influence final soft landscaping. We provide a phased programme to keep routes safe and disruption low.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, raised beds, and like-for-like path repairs. However, permission may be needed for taller boundary treatments, significant level changes, new structures (including some shade structures), or if the building is listed or within a conservation area. We check RBKC guidance, review site constraints and, where required, help you prepare the information needed for approvals before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, raised bed construction, handrails fixings and boundary structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently, but we specify resilient varieties and can offer a maintenance plan to protect establishment. Any snagging is handled promptly and clearly.
Popular choices include smooth, slip-resistant porcelain or textured sandstone for accessible pathways, timber or masonry raised beds with comfortable coping, and powder-coated metal handrails for durability. Sensory planting often features lavender, rosemary, grasses and winter-scented shrubs, while memory gardens may use familiar cottage-style plants and simple signage. Seating ranges from fixed benches to sheltered pergola-style shade structures. We guide you through options based on mobility needs, maintenance levels and the property’s Victorian character.
