Earl's Court homes often have compact outdoor spaces that need to do more than one job. We design family friendly gardens earl's court area homeowners can enjoy year-round, balancing safe play with smart planting and seating. Whether you’re near Earl's Court tube station or walking distance from Philbeach Gardens, we’ll shape a layout that feels calm, usable and easy to supervise. Every element is planned to reduce hazards and maximise fun.
In SW5 you’ll find Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, each with different access and levels. We’re used to working with side returns, raised patios and basement lightwells where space is limited but expectations are high. Our designs respect Victorian architecture while adding modern family features such as lawn space, sandpits and wildlife areas. We also plan storage and circulation so buggies, bikes and toys don’t take over the garden.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear concept plan, then refine materials and features around your budget. Safety is designed in: stable edging, non-slip finishes, and zones that keep play away from steps and hard corners. You’ll get a detailed schedule, tidy working practices and a dedicated point of contact from start to finish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, careful installation and a finish that lasts.
Earl's Court gardens often sit behind period buildings with narrow access, shared entrances and strict working hours. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption, and we keep neighbours informed where needed. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and levels before specifying lawns, soft surfacing or foundations for climbing frames. If your home falls under conservation considerations, we tailor materials and detailing to suit local character.

Costs depend on size, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a small SW5 garden refresh with lawn space and safer surfacing might start around £3,000–£7,000. A mid-sized redesign with paving, planting, soft surfaces and a simple play zone is often £8,000–£20,000. More complex builds with drainage upgrades, bespoke joinery, lighting, trampolines or climbing frames can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork and how many features are included. A straightforward lawn-and-planting upgrade can be completed in a few days, while layouts with new paving, drainage, retaining edges and play equipment foundations take longer. Access in Earl's Court period properties can affect delivery and removal times. Weather and curing times for concrete bases also influence the schedule.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, including planting, lawns, patios and most play equipment, provided they meet height and location rules. However, flats can have lease restrictions, and some streets near garden squares may have conservation considerations. Larger structures, significant level changes or lighting can trigger extra checks. We’ll advise early, review constraints, and help you confirm requirements with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea where necessary.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, bases and built structures, provided they’re used as intended and maintained sensibly. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like artificial grass, play equipment, membranes and lighting. We also explain aftercare for lawns, planting and soft surfaces so everything beds in properly. If an issue arises, we respond quickly and fix it professionally.
We can combine natural lawn or premium artificial turf, resin-bound or rubberised play surfacing, and non-slip porcelain or sandstone paving for paths and seating areas. Popular family features include sunken trampolines, sandpits with lids, climbing frames on stable bases, and raised beds for growing spaces. Wildlife areas can include log piles, pollinator planting and small water features designed with safety in mind. We guide you through options based on maintenance, budget and how your family uses the garden.
