Chelsea gardens demand precision, discretion and a sharp eye for detail—especially around King’s Road and the streets leading towards the Saatchi Gallery. Fine Landscaping provides complete landscaper contractor services, from concept and garden design through to construction and finishing. Whether you want a refined courtyard, a family-friendly terrace, or a statement entrance, we deliver workmanship that suits Chelsea’s standards. We work across SW3 and SW10 with careful scheduling and tidy site practice.
Many local properties are Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with compact rear gardens, raised terraces or lightwells. These spaces often need clever levels, drainage solutions and planting that performs in shade. Our landscaper contractors Chelsea area team designs layouts that maximise usable space while respecting period features and premium finishes. We also coordinate access constraints and protect interiors where materials must pass through the home.
You’ll get a clear plan, itemised scope and a dedicated project manager from start to handover. We combine hard landscaping and soft landscaping so paving lines, edging, lighting routes and planting schemes all work together. Quality is built in: correct sub-bases, falls, jointing and fixings, plus careful aftercare guidance. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Chelsea projects often involve restricted access, controlled parking and timed deliveries, particularly near South Kensington and Fulham routes. We plan logistics early, including skip licensing, material drop-offs and neighbour-friendly working hours. Ground conditions can vary from made-up ground to heavy London clay, so we specify drainage and foundations accordingly. Our finishes are chosen to complement period façades and contemporary apartment terraces alike.

Costs in Chelsea vary with access, levels and specification. As a guide, patio installations often start around £150–£250 per m², while premium natural stone or porcelain with complex detailing can be £250–£450+ per m². Driveways commonly range from £6,000–£25,000+ depending on size, drainage and materials. Full garden transformations (design, hard and soft landscaping) are frequently £15,000–£80,000+.
Timescales depend on scope and site constraints. A straightforward patio or small courtyard upgrade typically takes 1–2 weeks, while fencing and planting can be completed in a few days. Driveways often require 1–3 weeks, especially where drainage upgrades are needed. Full garden redesigns commonly take 3–8+ weeks. Access through the property, delivery restrictions and weather can all extend programmes.
Most garden works—patios, paths, fencing within height limits, and planting—are usually permitted development. However, planning permission or consent may be required for works to listed buildings, properties in conservation areas, significant level changes, new access/driveway alterations, or certain boundary treatments. Drainage rules also apply, especially for front gardens and driveways. We check the relevant requirements and can advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed hard landscaping, such as patios, driveways, retaining structures and built features, provided the area is used and maintained as advised. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain these at quotation stage. If an issue arises related to installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
Chelsea clients often choose large-format porcelain for crisp terraces, premium sandstone or limestone for a softer heritage feel, and clay pavers to complement period façades. For boundaries, contemporary slatted fencing or traditional timber panels are common, with integrated lighting. Planting schemes frequently combine evergreen structure with seasonal colour and shade-tolerant species. We guide you through samples, layouts and maintenance levels to match your lifestyle.
