Kensington developments demand landscaping that looks exceptional on day one and performs for years. We create show home gardens, front and rear plots, and well-structured communal areas that complement the architecture around Kensington High Street and Holland Park. Our team delivers driveways, boundary treatments and street planting with crisp lines and durable detailing. The result is a cohesive external finish that supports sales, lettings and long-term resident satisfaction.
Working across W8 and W14, we’re used to the scale and constraints of stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions. These properties often require careful handling of levels, drainage and access through narrow entrances or shared hallways. We specify materials that suit elegant squares and heritage façades, while still meeting modern performance expectations. Whether it’s a boutique infill scheme or a larger block, we tailor the landscape to the building’s character.
We start with a site review, programme planning and a clear scope for each plot and shared zone. You’ll receive a specification-led proposal covering finishes, planting, irrigation and maintenance requirements. Our installers work to tidy, controlled site standards, coordinating deliveries and protecting completed areas. Homeowners and developers trust us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access and parking restrictions can affect delivery timings and plant handling. We plan logistics, protect shared entrances and work considerately around residents and concierge teams. Ground conditions vary, so we design drainage and soil improvement to suit each plot and courtyard. Our approach fits the refined streetscape expectations typical of Kensington schemes.

Costs depend on the number of plots, specification level and access. As a guide, front garden packages often start from £2,500–£7,500 per plot, while rear gardens commonly range £6,000–£20,000+ depending on paving, turf and planting. Communal courtyards and podium landscapes can run from £25,000 to £250,000+. We provide itemised budgets and value-engineering options to suit programme and finish.
Timescales vary with plot numbers, season and site readiness. A single front garden may take 2–5 days, while a typical rear garden is often 1–3 weeks including groundworks, paving and planting. Communal areas can take 4–12+ weeks depending on drainage, lighting and structural build-ups. Lead times for bespoke stone, railings or mature planting can extend the programme, so we schedule early.
Many garden and hard landscaping works are permitted development, but there are common exceptions in Kensington. New or altered driveways may need compliant permeable surfacing and correct drainage, and listed buildings or conservation areas can restrict boundary treatments, railings and paving changes. Street planting and works near highways may also require approvals. We check constraints, advise on council requirements and can support drawings and submissions where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship on elements such as paving, edging, steps, walls and installed drainage (subject to our specification and normal use). Planting is covered separately because establishment depends on watering and weather; we offer a clear aftercare plan and optional maintenance contracts to protect it. Any snagging issues are logged and resolved promptly within agreed timeframes.
For Kensington schemes, clients often choose natural stone paving (Yorkstone or limestone), porcelain for clean contemporary terraces, and resin-bound or permeable block paving for driveways. Boundary treatments commonly include brick piers, metal railings, timber slatted screens and acoustic fencing where required. Planting tends towards evergreen structure with seasonal highlights for year-round appeal. We present finish samples, propose planting palettes, and align designs with the building’s architecture and maintenance needs.
