Kensington’s outdoor spaces deserve the same care as its interiors, especially in settings where wellbeing comes first. We design and build gardens for care homes and supported living, with clear routes, restful seating and planting that stimulates the senses. From South Kensington to Holland Park, we create spaces that are easy to use and reassuring to navigate. Every detail is planned to reduce trip risks and encourage gentle time outdoors.
Our team is used to the property mix across W8 and W14, from stucco townhouses to mansion blocks and period conversions with shared courtyards. We work sympathetically with existing stonework, railings and mature planting, keeping the finished garden in keeping with Kensington’s elegant squares. Access can be tight, and we plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. The result is a practical, dignified garden that looks premium without feeling institutional.
We start with a site visit and a clear brief, then produce a layout focused on accessibility, safety and easy maintenance. Build phases are scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and clear communication for managers and families. We specify durable materials, install safe boundaries and handrails where needed, and test routes for wheelchair and walker use. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we deliver consistently high standards and stand behind our work.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access, parking and delivery timing can be as important as the design. We plan around controlled parking zones and narrower streets near Kensington High Street, and we protect communal entrances and shared areas. Many sites have compact courtyards, basement lightwells or mature trees, so we adapt levels, drainage and planting choices carefully. Our approach keeps the garden safe, compliant and easy to maintain.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with safer surfacing, seating and sensory planting may start around £6,000–£12,000. A mid-size scheme with accessible pathways, raised beds, handrails and new planting is often £15,000–£35,000. Larger gardens with shade structures, boundary upgrades and full re-landscaping can be £40,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Most projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on groundwork, levels and how much hard landscaping is required. A simpler upgrade—new seating areas, raised beds and planting—can be completed in 1–2 weeks. Full schemes with new accessible pathways, drainage adjustments, handrails and shade structures typically take longer. Timescales are also affected by access restrictions, delivery windows and any specialist materials chosen.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, especially like-for-like surfacing, planting and modest features. However, listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to boundary heights, lighting or structures can trigger permissions or conditions in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. We flag likely requirements early, help with drawings and specifications, and can liaise with managing agents where needed. Our aim is to keep the project compliant and avoid delays.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving bases, edging, raised bed construction and fixed features. It covers defects caused by installation issues under normal use. Planting is living material, so it’s covered separately with practical aftercare guidance and optional maintenance plans. We also use reputable manufacturers’ products where possible, passing on their material warranties where applicable.
We tailor options to mobility needs, aesthetics and maintenance. Popular choices include resin-bound or smooth paving for accessible pathways, timber or brick raised beds, and sensory planting with fragrance and seasonal colour. Seating can be backed benches, armchairs or circular social areas, with pergolas or sail shades for shelter. We can also create memory gardens with familiar plants and clear wayfinding. We’ll recommend finishes that suit the building style and budget.
