Notting Hill’s outdoor spaces can be a real asset for residents when they’re planned for comfort and accessibility. We design care home gardens that feel welcoming and easy to navigate, whether your setting is near Notting Hill Gate or closer to Portobello Road Market. Expect clear routes, restful seating areas and planting that encourages gentle interaction. The result is a garden that works for residents, visitors and staff every day.
Across W11 you’ll find pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and compact mews houses, each with different access and levels. We’re used to tight side returns, stepped thresholds and shared entrances, so we plan layouts that reduce trip hazards and improve flow. Raised beds make gardening possible from a seated position, while memory gardens create familiar cues without clutter. Our designs suit both small courtyards and larger communal grounds around Holland Park and Ladbroke Grove.
We start with a site survey and an accessibility-led design, then provide a clear scope, schedule and itemised options. Installation is managed end-to-end, with tidy working practices and safe temporary routes maintained throughout. Homeowners and care providers choose us for reliable communication, durable materials and thoughtful detailing. We also offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep pathways, planting and boundaries performing as intended.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means careful logistics, resident consideration and limited parking, especially around the Carnival route. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to minimise disruption. Many gardens sit on clay-heavy London soils, so we specify drainage layers and robust edging to prevent waterlogging and movement. For mews houses and mansion blocks, we also design around restricted access and shared pathways.

Costs vary with access, levels and the amount of hard landscaping required. As a guide, small upgrades (handrails, minor path works, seating and planting) often start from £3,000–£8,000. A mid-sized refurbishment with new accessible pathways, raised beds and lighting is commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger schemes with shade structures, secure boundaries and full regrading can be £30,000–£70,000+. We provide itemised options to suit your priorities.
Most projects take 1–6 weeks depending on size and complexity. A small courtyard refresh with planting, seating and minor pathway changes can be completed in 5–10 working days. Full accessibility upgrades—new sub-bases, non-slip surfacing, raised beds and handrails—typically take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions in W11, drainage requirements, lead times for bespoke joinery or shade structures, and weather during groundworks.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paths, adding raised beds, and installing seating areas. However, planning or consent may be needed for taller boundary treatments, significant level changes, large shade structures, or if the building is listed or within a conservation area (common locally). We check the site constraints, advise what’s likely to apply, and can help prepare drawings or information for any required approvals before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering installation defects such as failed sub-bases, loose edging, or issues caused by incorrect fixing methods. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products (for example, paving, handrails, or shade structures) and we pass those on in writing. Soft landscaping and planting are covered for establishment when maintained and watered as advised. We also offer maintenance visits to protect performance long-term.
We tailor materials to safety, durability and visual calm. Popular options include resin-bound or textured porcelain for accessible pathways, brick or timber-edged raised beds, stainless or powder-coated handrails, and pergolas or sail shades for sheltered seating. Sensory planting often features lavender, rosemary, grasses and year-round structure, while memory gardens use familiar colour themes and simple landmarks. We present samples on site and recommend choices that suit access, maintenance and resident needs.
