Chelsea gardens deserve lighting that complements their architecture and planting, not harsh glare. We create layered schemes using path lighting, spotlights and wall lights to guide guests and highlight features. Whether you’re near King’s Road or walking distance from the Saatchi Gallery, we tailor the mood for entertaining and everyday use. Installations are neat, discreet and built to last in London weather.
Our work across SW3 and SW10 often involves compact courtyards, roof terraces and landscaped rear gardens behind Georgian townhouses and Victorian mansions. Luxury apartments also benefit from carefully positioned deck lights and low-glare fittings for balconies and communal spaces. We plan around existing stone paving, mature planting and heritage details, keeping the look consistent with premium finishes. The result is a scheme that feels intentional in daylight and exceptional after dark.
We start with a site visit and lighting design, then specify fittings, beam angles and cable routes before any digging begins. Cables are installed safely, connections are weatherproofed, and circuits are tested and commissioned with clear handover guidance. You’ll get a tidy site, reliable scheduling and a system designed for easy maintenance. Many clients choose us for garden lighting Chelsea area projects because our workmanship is consistent and our aftercare is responsive.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means planning for restricted access, resident parking controls and careful waste removal. Many Chelsea properties have limited side returns, so we minimise disruption with thoughtful cable routing and compact equipment. We also account for mixed ground conditions under patios and terraces, from historic brick sub-bases to modern membranes. Our garden lighting in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea approach keeps installations compliant, tidy and sympathetic to period detailing.

Costs vary with the number of fittings, cabling distances and control options. As a guide, small courtyard schemes often start around £1,200–£2,500, while medium gardens with layered path lighting, uplighting and wall lights are commonly £3,000–£6,500. Larger, design-led installations with smart controls, multiple zones and premium fittings can be £7,000–£15,000+. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 days on site once the design and specification are agreed. A simple path lighting run with a transformer and a few fittings can be completed in a day, while multi-zone schemes with uplighting, deck lights and wall lights may take several days. Timescales depend on access, the amount of trenching, existing paving, and whether we’re integrating smart controls or new outdoor power supplies.
In most cases, garden lighting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, especially for low-voltage systems and discreet fittings. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, and installations that affect façades or boundary walls. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey and advise if permissions may be needed. If required, we can help with drawings and specifications to support any application.
Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our garden lighting installations, covering issues related to installation quality such as cable routing, connections and fixing methods. Manufacturer warranties apply to the fittings, lamps and drivers, and we’ll explain the terms for the products selected. We also test and commission the system on completion, so you have confidence that every circuit, timer and control works as intended.
We offer a wide range of styles, from discreet stainless-steel or black powder-coated path lights to warm wall lanterns that suit period façades. Popular choices include uplighting for trees and architectural details, deck lights for terraces, festoon lighting for dining areas, and focused spotlights for sculpture or planting. Solar options can work for low-demand areas, while smart controls add scenes and scheduling. We’ll recommend fittings and colour temperatures to match your garden and home.
