Earl’s Court gardens often need practical, well-detailed hardscapes that look right against Victorian brickwork and iron railings. We design and build patios, pathways, retaining walls, steps and edging that make outdoor space easier to use year-round. Whether you’re near Earl’s Court tube station or close to Philbeach Gardens, we plan levels, drainage and access from day one. The result is a clean, long-lasting finish that complements your home rather than competing with it.
Local projects commonly involve Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties with compact rear gardens and shared boundaries. That calls for careful foundations, neat walling and accurate setting-out so every line looks intentional. We’re used to working in the hard landscaping Earl's Court area, including Kensington and West Brompton, where access can be tight and deliveries must be timed. Our detailing keeps surfaces safe underfoot and visually balanced with traditional façades.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear proposal covering materials, build-up depths and drainage routes. Our team manages excavation, sub-bases, foundations and finishing, keeping disruption low and the site tidy. You’ll get straightforward communication, staged inspections and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for hard landscaping in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea because we build it properly beneath the surface, not just what you can see.
SW5 streets can mean restricted parking, timed deliveries and narrow side returns, so we plan logistics early and keep materials organised. Many gardens sit between party walls, making precise setting-out and considerate noise control essential. We also factor in typical London ground conditions and legacy drainage runs when building foundations and falls. Where RBKC guidance applies, we help you stay compliant and avoid rework.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, excavation depth and material choice. As a guide, patios often start around £150–£250 per m² for good-quality paving and proper sub-base, while premium stone and complex detailing can be £250–£400+ per m². Driveways are commonly £120–£220 per m² depending on permeable build-ups and edging. Walls, steps and drainage are usually priced after a site survey.
Most patio or pathway projects take 3–7 working days, while larger schemes combining walls, steps, drainage and a driveway can run 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation volume, curing time for concrete foundations, and whether levels need reworking. Access in Earl’s Court can also affect delivery scheduling and spoil removal. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated as stages complete.
Many garden hardscape works are permitted development, but driveways can trigger rules around drainage and materials, especially if you’re creating a new hard surface at the front. Permeable paving or directing runoff to a suitable soakaway is often required. If your property is listed or within a conservation area, extra restrictions may apply. We’ll flag likely requirements and help you confirm details with RBKC before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations, covering issues linked to build quality such as sub-base failure, sinking caused by poor compaction, or movement from incorrect foundations (subject to normal use). Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also document the construction build-up and drainage approach so you know exactly what’s been installed and how to maintain it.
We install porcelain paving, sandstone and limestone, granite setts, brick edging, and resin-bound or block paving for driveways. For walls and steps, options include brickwork to match period properties, rendered finishes, and natural stone copings. We’ll advise on slip resistance, colour tones that suit Victorian architecture, and practical details like lighting conduits and drainage channels. You’ll receive layout options with clear joints, levels and thresholds.
