Chelsea gardens often need structure as much as planting, especially around terraces and courtyard layouts off King’s Road. We build patios, pathways, steps and edging that look refined and perform in all weather. Whether you’re updating a compact rear garden near the Saatchi Gallery or improving access to a front entrance, we deliver clean lines and confident levels. Our work is designed to complement the area’s architecture while handling day-to-day use.
From Georgian townhouses to Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, Chelsea properties demand careful detailing and respectful construction. We’re used to narrow side returns, basement lightwells and shared access routes that affect how materials are moved and stored. Our hard landscaping Chelsea area service focuses on durability, slip resistance and tidy junctions against brickwork and stone. The result is a garden that feels considered, not bolted on.
We start with a site visit, measured survey and clear specification covering levels, falls, drainage runs and foundations. You’ll receive a written schedule, material samples and a realistic programme before work begins. Our team protects existing finishes, keeps the site orderly, and signs off each stage with you—sub-base, drainage, bedding and final pointing. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty.
Working across SW3 and SW10 means planning for controlled parking, delivery slots and restricted access on busy streets near Stamford Bridge. We design builds that suit courtyard gardens and front approaches, often requiring careful spoil removal and compact machinery. Ground conditions and existing drainage can vary between older terraces and newer developments, so we survey properly before setting levels. We also factor in local council expectations for surface water management and public-facing works.

Costs vary with access, excavation depth, drainage needs and material choice. As a guide, patios commonly range from £150–£300 per m² installed, depending on stone and detailing. Driveways are often £120–£250 per m², with permeable systems typically higher. Steps, walls and foundations are usually priced per item or linear metre after a survey. We provide a clear, itemised quotation once we’ve measured up.
Most patio and pathway projects take around 1–2 weeks, while larger schemes with walls, steps, drainage and driveway works can run 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access constraints, excavation volumes, curing time for concrete bases, and whether utilities or existing structures need careful protection. Weather can also affect laying and pointing. We agree a programme in advance and keep you updated on each construction stage.
Many garden hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions. Front driveways must manage surface water correctly; non-permeable paving over certain areas may require planning or a compliant drainage solution. Listed buildings, conservation areas and works affecting boundary walls can also involve extra rules. We’ll flag likely requirements early, recommend permeable options where appropriate, and help you check the council guidance before starting.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our hard landscaping workmanship, covering issues such as sub-base failure, movement caused by incorrect installation, and defects in construction detailing. It applies when the area is used as intended and maintained sensibly, and it excludes damage from third-party works or extreme events beyond reasonable control. We also use reputable suppliers so you benefit from applicable manufacturer guarantees on paving and drainage components.
We design and build with premium options to suit Chelsea homes, including sandstone, limestone, granite setts, porcelain paving and clay pavers. For walls and edging, we use brickwork, natural stone, rendered finishes and metal edging where a crisp line is needed. Driveway choices include permeable block paving and resin-bound systems with suitable bases. We bring samples, advise on slip resistance and colour, and tailor layouts to your property’s style.
