From compact courtyard gardens to generous rear plots, we deliver full garden builds tailored to Kensington properties. Whether you’re near Kensington Palace or walking distance from Holland Park, we design and construct outdoor spaces that feel considered and practical. Our team handles everything from garden clearance and groundworks to patios, decking and planting. The result is a garden that looks right from day one and matures beautifully.
Kensington’s stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions often bring challenges such as restricted access, basement lightwells and shared boundaries. We’re used to working with tight side returns and carefully protecting existing stone steps, railings and façades. For clients in South Kensington and Earl’s Court, we can create elegant, low-maintenance layouts that still feel lush. Planting plans are chosen to suit aspect, shade patterns and year-round interest.
We start with a site visit, clear brief and measured survey, then provide a detailed proposal covering materials, programme and logistics. Our build process is structured: preparation, levels and drainage, hard landscaping, then soft landscaping and finishing touches. Homeowners choose us for transparent communication, clean workmanship and respectful working practices. Every installation is backed by our 10-year warranty for long-term confidence.
As garden contractors in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we plan for controlled parking, timed deliveries and considerate neighbour relations. Many W8 and W14 homes have limited access, so we organise smaller loads, protective matting and tidy storage. We also account for drainage and level changes common in older terraces and conversions. Where required, we help you navigate party wall considerations and shared boundary details.

Costs vary with access, levels, drainage and specification. As a guide, garden clearance and preparation often starts from £500–£2,000. A new patio or decking area commonly ranges from £120–£250 per m² depending on materials. Full garden builds in Kensington typically start around £15,000 and can exceed £60,000+ for complex layouts, premium stone, lighting and water features.
Timescales depend on size, access and the scope of works. Smaller projects such as a patio with planting may take 1–2 weeks. A medium rebuild with fencing, paving and new turf is often 3–6 weeks. Larger, multi-zone gardens with walls, drainage upgrades and water features can take 8–12+ weeks. Lead times for bespoke materials and council parking arrangements can also affect the schedule.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, especially like-for-like paving, decking at low height, and typical planting or fencing within standard limits. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary wall heights, and works affecting drainage or the public highway. We’ll flag likely permissions early, check constraints for your address, and help you prepare any drawings or details needed for approvals where required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as patios, retaining walls, steps and structural installations, subject to normal use and maintenance. This covers issues arising from installation defects, for example movement caused by inadequate sub-bases or poor jointing. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products (pavers, composite decking, fencing systems). We also offer practical aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
We build to match Kensington’s architecture, from crisp contemporary courtyards to classic townhouse gardens. Popular choices include porcelain paving, Yorkstone-style sandstone, clay pavers, and hardwood or composite decking. For boundaries, we install timber slatted screens, brick walls, rendered planters and metal railings where appropriate. Planting can range from evergreen structure to pollinator-friendly borders, and we can add water features for sound and calm. We guide you through samples, layouts and maintenance levels.
