Kensington gardens demand planting that looks refined in every season, from spring bulbs to late-summer perennials. We design and build flower beds that complement the architecture seen around Kensington Palace and the avenues near Kensington Gardens. Whether you want crisp borders for a front garden or layered beds for a rear terrace, we focus on strong structure and reliable flowering. Every scheme is planned for colour, texture and long-term performance.
Our clients across Holland Park, South Kensington and Earl's Court often have compact courtyards, raised beds or long, narrow borders behind period conversions and mansion blocks. These spaces benefit from thoughtful planting heights, evergreen framework and controlled spread. We also work with larger plots where formal lines suit stucco townhouses and elegant squares. If your garden is overlooked, we can add screening plants without losing light and openness.
We start with a site visit, discuss your preferred style, and assess light, drainage and existing plants. Then we handle bed creation, soil improvement, planting and mulching, leaving everything neat and easy to maintain. You’ll get clear plant choices, realistic aftercare guidance and a schedule for seasonal refreshes if needed. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent standards, punctuality and a finish that stays sharp.
In the flower beds Kensington area, we often find compact gardens, shaded courtyards and wind funnels between tall buildings. Access can be tight around W8 and W14, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also factor in mature trees and root competition near parks such as Holland Park. For flower beds in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea properties, we design schemes that look refined year-round and are practical to maintain.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and plant specification. As a guide, small border refreshes with soil improvement and planting often start from around £600–£1,200. New bed creation with edging, soil preparation, planting design, perennials/annuals and mulching typically ranges from £1,500–£4,500+. Larger or more formal schemes for front and rear gardens can be £5,000–£12,000+ depending on materials and plant maturity.
Most projects take 1–3 days for a straightforward border: bed creation, soil preparation, planting and mulching. Larger gardens or multiple beds usually take 3–7 days, especially if we’re removing old shrubs, improving drainage or building up levels. Timescales can extend if access is restricted, plants need ordering, or you want a phased approach for seasonal colour. We confirm a schedule after the site survey.
In most cases, creating or replanting flower beds is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re altering boundary walls, railings or hard landscaping alongside the beds. We’ll flag any potential constraints during the survey and, where needed, advise on checking Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship related to installed elements such as bed formation, edging and any built features we construct as part of the project. Plant performance depends on weather, watering and aftercare, but we only use quality stock and set beds up properly with soil improvement and mulching. If a plant fails due to installation issues, we’ll put it right. Aftercare plans are available for ongoing success.
We can create crisp formal borders, relaxed cottage-style planting, or contemporary schemes with strong structure and repeated forms. Popular options include evergreen framework with perennials, seasonal annual colour, spring bulbs, and drought-tolerant mixes for sunnier spots. Mulch choices include composted bark or well-rotted organic matter, selected to suit the soil. We help you choose plants by considering light, maintenance level, pet safety and the look of your property.
