Holland Park homes deserve front gardens that look composed from the street and work smoothly day to day. We design and build driveways, pathways, lawns and planting schemes that complement the architecture around Holland Park and the Design Museum. Whether you’re improving access, adding privacy, or refreshing tired paving, we deliver a finish that feels considered rather than overdone.
The Holland Park area is known for large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties, often with compact front boundaries and valuable frontage. We regularly work across W11 and W14, including nearby Kensington and Notting Hill, where symmetry, proportion and detailing matter. Our team specifies materials and planting that suit formal façades, heritage features and the expectations of an exclusive streetscape.
Every project starts with a site visit, measured survey and clear design proposal covering levels, drainage and access. We manage groundwork, waste removal, and tidy handover, with staged updates so you always know what’s happening. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, meticulous edging and pointing, and a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, refresh projects (new planting, lawn, minor pathway repairs) often start from £2,500–£6,000. Mid-range upgrades with new paving, edging, lighting and bin storage commonly fall between £7,000–£18,000. Full front garden transformations with driveway construction, walls/fencing and drainage are typically £18,000–£45,000+ in the Holland Park area.
Most front garden projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundwork and the amount of hard landscaping. A simple planting and lawn installation can be completed in 2–5 days, while a new driveway with walls, lighting and drainage usually takes 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access restrictions, curing times for concrete, bespoke materials, and any unexpected issues with levels or existing services.
Many front garden improvements are permitted development, but driveways and boundary changes can trigger rules—especially regarding drainage, dropped kerbs, and conservation considerations. In RBKC you may need permission for certain walls, railings, or works affecting the public highway, and permeable surfacing is often required to manage runoff. We advise early, check constraints, and can help prepare information for the council where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping work, covering installation workmanship for items such as paving, driveway sub-bases, walls and edging, subject to normal use and maintenance. Electrical components like lighting are covered by manufacturer warranties, and we supply documentation on request. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance to help it establish well in the first season.
For period properties, clients often choose Yorkstone-style paving, granite setts, clay pavers, and traditional railings with brick or stone boundary walls. For driveways, permeable block paving and resin-bound gravel are popular where drainage is a priority. We can add subtle lighting, structured planting, and integrated bin storage to keep the frontage calm. We’ll guide you through samples, layout options and planting palettes suited to your elevation.
