Holland Park gardens deserve planting that complements period architecture and mature streetscapes. Whether you’re near Kyoto Garden or the Design Museum, we create planting schemes that feel considered from every window and terrace. Expect layered borders, reliable seasonal colour, and planting that thrives rather than merely survives. We can also refresh tired beds without a full redesign.
Local homes include large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and other period properties with courtyards, side returns and formal rear gardens. These spaces often need careful plant selection for shade, privacy and tidy structure. We tailor planting to your aspect and lifestyle—low-maintenance evergreen frameworks, softer cottage-style mixes, or contemporary architectural planting. If you’re in W11 or W14, we’re used to working around tight access and protected features.
Our process starts with a site visit, planting design and a clear schedule, then we source quality stock and plant at the right depth with soil improvement and mulching. We set out plants before planting so you can approve spacing and sightlines. Every job is finished cleanly, with aftercare guidance to help your garden establish. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, premium workmanship and consistent results.
The Holland Park area includes shaded boundaries, mature tree roots and varied soils from historic gardens. We adjust planting pits, compost blends and mulching to improve establishment and reduce watering needs. Access and parking can be restricted on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our experience with garden planting in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea helps us work smoothly with local constraints and property layouts.

Costs depend on bed size, plant density, and whether you need full planting design and plant supply. As a guide, border planting refreshes often start around £600–£1,500 for smaller areas, while larger schemes with shrubs, perennials, bulbs and mulching can range from £2,000–£8,000+. Specimen tree planting typically adds £450–£2,500 per tree including staking, depending on size and access.
Most planting jobs take 1–3 days once the design and plants are agreed. A small courtyard border may be completed in a day, while a full rear garden scheme with soil improvement, shrub planting, perennials, bulbs and mulching can take a week. Timescales vary with access (common around mansion conversions), the number of trees, and whether we’re removing old plants or improving compacted soil first.
Most garden planting is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if work affects protected trees (Tree Preservation Orders) or shared boundaries. Tree planting is usually fine, but removal or significant pruning can be regulated. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can help you check requirements with the council before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation standards, covering issues such as incorrect planting depth, staking methods, and bed preparation where these cause failure. Plants are living materials, so plant guarantees depend on species, season, and aftercare such as watering. We provide clear aftercare instructions and can offer maintenance visits to improve establishment, especially during warm spells or in newly improved soil.
We offer everything from formal evergreen structure to softer, naturalistic planting. Popular options include clipped shrubs with perennials, shade-tolerant borders for north-facing gardens, spring bulb layers, and specimen trees for screening. We can also supply drought-tolerant mixes for sunnier terraces and add mulch finishes such as composted bark or decorative aggregates. We’ll recommend palettes based on your style, light levels, and maintenance preferences.
