Kensington gardens demand a careful balance of beauty, privacy and long-term performance. Our team designs and builds complete outdoor spaces, from patios and pathways to planting schemes and water features. We regularly work around Kensington Gardens and Kensington High Street, where access and finish standards are uncompromising. Expect clean lines, high-grade materials and a result that elevates your property.
In W8 and W14 you’ll find stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, often with compact rear gardens, terraces or courtyard spaces. We plan layouts that maximise usable space while respecting heritage details and neighbouring sightlines. Whether you’re in Holland Park or Earl’s Court, we can integrate lighting, screening, and planting for year-round structure. Soft landscaping is specified to thrive in London microclimates and shaded aspects.
We start with a site visit, clear measurements and a practical design proposal that fits your brief and budget. Our in-house build team handles hard landscaping, fencing, planting and finishing details with tidy, well-managed scheduling. You’ll receive transparent scope, staged sign-off, and consistent communication throughout. Local homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, premium materials, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As landscaper contractors Kensington area homeowners rely on, we plan for tight access, resident parking controls, and timed deliveries common in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Many properties have basement works, lightwells, or raised terraces, so we pay close attention to waterproofing details, falls, and drainage. We also consider party walls and shared boundaries typical of mansion blocks and period conversions. Our method reduces disruption while protecting finishes and communal areas.

Costs vary with access, specification and the amount of groundworks required. In Kensington, a small refresh with planting, edging and minor paving can start from £2,000–£6,000. A new patio with drainage and quality stone is often £6,000–£18,000. Full garden design and build with fencing, lighting, planting and bespoke details commonly ranges from £20,000–£80,000+ for larger properties.
Timescales depend on design complexity, access and the scope of hard landscaping. A straightforward patio or driveway can take 1–3 weeks once materials are on site. A full garden build with drainage, walls, steps, fencing and planting usually runs 4–10 weeks. Bespoke joinery, water features, or restricted delivery windows around South Kensington and Notting Hill can extend programmes, but we agree a schedule before starting.
Many garden works are permitted development, but there are important exceptions in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Front driveways may need permeable surfacing and compliant drainage, and listed buildings or conservation areas can restrict walls, railings and boundary treatments. If you’re altering levels, adding structures, or installing lighting and water features, rules may apply. We check constraints, advise on permissions, and can support applications when needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, giving you confidence in the build quality. This covers defects linked to installation, such as unstable sub-bases, incorrect falls, or workmanship-related failures in paving and constructed elements. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance options to help it establish well.
We tailor designs to suit Kensington architecture, from classic stucco façades to contemporary penthouse terraces. Popular choices include porcelain paving for crisp detailing, York stone for a traditional feel, and granite setts for driveways. For fencing, we install high-quality timber, painted slatted screens, and trellis for climbers. Planting schemes can be evergreen-structured, pollinator-friendly, or low-maintenance. We provide samples and visuals to finalise the right palette.
