Notting Hill gardens often need clever planning to make every metre count, especially around Ladbroke Grove and near Portobello Road Market. We create complete transformations that balance entertaining space with greenery and privacy. Whether you want a contemporary terrace, a family-friendly lawn, or a calm courtyard, our team handles the full build. The result is a garden that looks right all year and feels part of the home.
Across W11 you’ll find pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and compact mews houses, each with different access and layout challenges. We’re used to long, narrow plots, shaded corners, and raised levels behind period properties. Our designers choose planting that thrives in urban microclimates and works with existing architecture. If you’re updating a courtyard in Kensington or a rear garden by Holland Park, we tailor the scheme to suit.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured survey and concept design, then a detailed specification covering hard landscaping, soft landscaping, lighting and any water features. You’ll receive a clear programme, material samples and a single point of contact from start to finish. We protect your property, keep neighbours in mind, and leave the site clean at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, premium detailing and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be tight and parking restrictions are common, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many Notting Hill homes have basement works, lightwells or raised terraces, which affects drainage falls and waterproofing details. We also account for party walls, shared boundaries and neighbour considerations on close-set streets. Our approach keeps the build efficient while protecting period brickwork, paving and existing finishes.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. In Notting Hill, a light refresh (new planting, edging, small patio repairs) often starts around £3,000–£8,000. Mid-range makeovers with new patio/decking, lighting and planting commonly sit at £12,000–£35,000. Full redesigns with level changes, bespoke joinery, drainage upgrades and water features can be £40,000–£100,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a survey.
Typical programmes range from 1–2 weeks for small courtyards to 4–8 weeks for a full garden rebuild. Complex projects with retaining walls, significant drainage, bespoke decking, lighting circuits and water features can take 8–12+ weeks. Timescales depend on access (mews lanes vs rear access), material lead times, and weather. We issue a staged schedule so you know what’s happening each week.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing patios, adding planting, and installing low-level lighting. Permission may be needed for larger structures, significant changes to boundary walls, works affecting listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Drainage rules can also apply, particularly for new hardstanding. We check the constraints for your address and advise on any applications before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as patios, decking substructures, walls and built features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like paving, composite boards, lighting fittings and pumps. We also explain aftercare for planting and surfaces to help everything settle properly. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and professionally.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for clean lines, natural sandstone for a softer period look, and composite or hardwood decking for warm, usable terraces. Planting often mixes evergreen structure with seasonal colour, plus climbers for screening. Lighting options range from subtle step lights to uplighters for feature trees, and water features can be rills, bowls or compact fountains. We guide you through samples, layouts and maintenance levels to match your home and lifestyle.
