Chelsea gardens demand a refined approach, whether you’re close to King’s Road or visiting the Chelsea Physic Garden for inspiration. Our team handles garden design, planting design and soft landscaping to create outdoor spaces that feel considered and easy to live with. We install lawns, shape borders and plant trees and shrubs with long-term growth in mind. Every scheme is tailored to your light levels, privacy needs and how you use the garden.
Across SW3 and SW10 we work on compact courtyards, roof terraces and larger rear gardens behind Georgian townhouses and Victorian mansions, as well as luxury apartments with balconies. These properties often need careful access planning, discreet storage and clean, low-disruption working practices. We’re used to restoring tired layouts, improving drainage and refreshing planting without losing the character of an established garden. If you want year-round structure with seasonal colour, we’ll build it into the plan from day one.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements and a clear design brief, followed by a detailed scope of works. We schedule deliveries, coordinate planting windows and keep you updated as the build progresses. Work is completed to a high standard with a written 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, plus optional maintenance plans to protect your investment. Homeowners choose us for reliable project management, skilled horticulture and a finish that stays sharp.
We understand the practicalities of working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, including parking restrictions, delivery timings and neighbour-sensitive working hours. Many Chelsea gardens sit in sheltered courtyards with mixed light, so we specify plants that cope with shade, wind and reflected heat from walls. Where soils are compacted or built up over old hardstanding, we improve structure with quality topsoil and organic matter. This local experience helps our landscape gardener contractors Chelsea area deliver reliable results.

Costs vary by access, garden size and specification. As a guide, planting design and border planting often starts from £1,500–£4,000, while soft landscaping with soil improvement and new beds is commonly £4,000–£12,000. Lawn installation typically ranges £1,200–£5,000 depending on preparation and turf type. Full garden renovation projects in Chelsea can run £15,000–£60,000+ for premium finishes and mature planting.
Small planting and tidy-up works can be completed in 1–3 days. A typical soft landscaping refresh with new beds and a lawn installation often takes 1–2 weeks, depending on ground preparation and access for materials. Full garden renovation projects usually run 3–8 weeks. Timescales are influenced by design approvals, delivery slots, weather, and whether we’re sourcing specialist plants or working around existing features and neighbours.
Most garden works—such as planting, lawn installation, and many soft landscaping changes—are usually permitted development. However, rules can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, significant level changes, new walls or railings, and works affecting trees (including TPOs). We check constraints early and can advise on what’s likely to need consent. If approvals are required, we’ll help you prepare the information needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects for agreed elements of the build. This includes issues such as failed edging installation or problems caused by incorrect construction methods. Living materials (plants and turf) are covered separately because survival depends on weather and aftercare, but we specify robust options and provide clear care guidance. Maintenance plans are available to support establishment and long-term performance.
Chelsea homeowners often choose structured evergreen planting, layered borders for seasonal interest, and resilient lawns for family use. Popular options include pleached trees for privacy, shade-tolerant planting for courtyards, and specimen shrubs to anchor views. We can also create contemporary or classic layouts to suit Georgian and Victorian properties, balancing symmetry with softer planting. Our landscape gardener contractors in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea guide you on plant palettes, soil preparation and maintenance needs.
