Response within 24 hours
Kensington gardens often need a careful reset after years of shade, compaction and piecemeal planting. We renovate outdoor spaces across W8 and W14, from courtyards near Kensington High Street to family gardens by Holland Park. Whether you want a smarter layout, healthier lawn, or cleaner paving, our team handles the full refresh. Expect tidy workmanship and a result that suits the area’s refined look.
The Kensington area is known for stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, each with different access and garden proportions. We’re used to narrow side passages, raised terraces and basement-level courtyards common around South Kensington and Earl’s Court. Our planting choices and finishes are selected to complement elegant façades and formal squares. We also plan around shared boundaries, mature trees and privacy requirements.
Every project starts with a clear assessment, then a structured plan: clearance, repairs, replanting and detailed finishing. We can renovate lawns, clean patios, repair fences and refresh beds in one coordinated visit schedule. Fine Landscaping is based around 40 minutes away, so you get responsive support without compromise on quality. All work is completed to a written specification, with transparent timelines and aftercare advice.
Garden renovation in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means working around tight access, parking controls and shared entrances. We schedule deliveries carefully and use methods suited to smaller courtyards and terrace gardens. Local soils can be compacted, with shade from buildings and mature trees, so we improve structure and select plants that thrive. We also keep finishes in keeping with period properties and smart communal settings.

Costs vary with access, waste removal, and how much is being renewed. As a guide, a light refresh (clearance, patio cleaning, minor repairs and replanting) often starts around £1,500–£3,500. More involved renovations with lawn replacement, significant fence repairs and larger planting schemes commonly fall in the £4,000–£12,000+ range. We’ll survey first and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most Kensington renovations take 2–7 working days, depending on size, access and the amount of repair work. A courtyard refresh with clearance, patio cleaning and planting can be completed in a couple of days. Larger gardens needing lawn renovation, drainage tweaks, or multiple fence sections may take 1–3 weeks. Weather, drying times after cleaning, and plant availability can also affect scheduling.
Many garden improvements are permitted, especially planting, turfing, patio cleaning and like-for-like fence repairs. However, rules can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, new walls, significant changes to levels, or works affecting trees (including protected specimens). We’ll flag any potential permissions early and can help you check RBKC guidance before work starts, so the renovation stays compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship, covering issues linked to our installation and repairs (such as relevant hard landscaping and structural elements completed by us). Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we’ll advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance to protect your investment. Any snagging items are addressed promptly, and you’ll receive written details of what’s included.
We tailor designs to Kensington homes, from crisp contemporary courtyards to classic townhouse gardens. Popular options include refreshed planting borders, shade-tolerant schemes, lawn renovation or new turf, and revitalised paving after professional patio cleaning. For boundaries, we can repair or upgrade fencing with smarter finishes and trellis. We’ll recommend materials and plants based on light levels, soil condition, and the look you want to achieve.
