From compact courtyards off King’s Road to larger plots near Chelsea Physic Garden, planting needs to look considered in every season. Fine Landscaping delivers planting design, plant supply and expert installation that elevates borders and containers. Expect smart combinations of shrubs, perennials and bulbs for reliable colour and texture. We can also integrate tree planting to add privacy and scale without overwhelming the space.
Chelsea homes often include Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with balconies, roof terraces and shaded patios. These gardens can be exposed to wind, overlooked, or limited by narrow access. Our planting plans balance structure and softness, with evergreen framework, seasonal highlights and low-mess choices for paved courtyards. If you’re in SW3 or SW10, we’ll tailor plant sizes and delivery to suit your property constraints.
We start with a site visit, light and soil checks, and a clear planting layout you can approve. Plants are sourced from trusted nurseries, delivered in peak condition, then planted with correct spacing, staking and soil improvement. Borders are finished with mulching to lock in moisture and suppress weeds, leaving a crisp, finished look. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Garden planting in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means tight access, controlled parking and careful handling around premium paving and façades. Many Chelsea plots have alkaline-leaning soils, shaded walls and wind tunnels between buildings, so plant selection must be precise. We plan deliveries to minimise disruption and choose species that cope with urban conditions. Where needed, we improve soil with organic matter before planting and mulching.

Costs vary with bed size, plant maturity and access. As a guide, border planting typically starts from £800–£2,500 for small to medium areas, including soil preparation and mulching. Larger schemes with planting design and premium plant supply often range £3,000–£12,000+. Tree planting usually adds £350–£1,500 per tree depending on size, staking and logistics in SW3/SW10.
Most planting jobs take 1–2 days for a small courtyard or a few borders once plants are selected and delivered. Medium gardens usually need 2–5 days, especially if we’re improving soil, reshaping beds, or installing multiple shrubs and perennials. Larger schemes with tree planting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on access, parking, plant availability and weather conditions.
Most garden planting, border changes and mulching are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if work affects protected trees. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea may require consent for works to trees covered by a TPO or for major alterations. We flag likely issues early and can help you check the rules before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering correct installation such as planting depth, staking, fixing and bed preparation carried out by our team.

We’ll give clear watering and maintenance guidance, and we can arrange follow-up visits to support establishment.
