Chelsea gardens are often compact, refined and expected to look perfect in every season. We create practical, high-end spaces that suit life around King’s Road and weekend strolls near Chelsea Physic Garden. Expect clean lines, durable finishes and planting that doesn’t demand constant attention. The result is a garden that feels considered, not compromised.
From Georgian townhouses to Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, outdoor areas in Chelsea vary widely in size and access. Many properties have small rear courtyards, roof terraces or long, narrow gardens that benefit from clever zoning. Our designs prioritise simple maintenance without losing the premium look these homes deserve. We also plan for shade, privacy and year-round structure.
We start with a site visit to understand usage, drainage and access, then provide a clear design and specification. Installation is handled by our in-house team, with tidy working practices and careful protection of finishes. We use proven materials, install weed control correctly, and commission irrigation so it performs from day one. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent options and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Working across SW3 and SW10, we’re used to restricted access, basement lightwells and tight side returns. Parking and delivery logistics matter here, so we plan drops, waste removal and working hours carefully. Soil can vary from made-up ground to heavier London clay, so we design drainage, sub-bases and planting accordingly. If your home is near Stamford Bridge or close to South Kensington, we’ll tailor the build to suit the property and street constraints.

Costs in Chelsea depend on size, access and the mix of hard landscaping and planting. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with gravel, weed membrane and container planting may start around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-sized gardens with composite decking, artificial grass and new edging often fall between £10,000–£25,000. Full redesigns with irrigation, lighting and premium finishes can be £30,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once the design and materials are agreed. A straightforward artificial grass or gravel installation can be completed in 2–5 days, while composite decking, new paving and irrigation usually need 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through the property, skip and delivery arrangements, drainage works, and curing time for concrete bases. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing turf with artificial grass, adding gravel areas, installing irrigation, or updating decking at ground level. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, raised platforms, boundary alterations and drainage to the public sewer. We’ll flag likely constraints early, check relevant guidance for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and advise if you need permissions or landlord/freeholder approval.
Our installations come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering issues caused by installation faults such as unstable sub-bases, poor fixing, or incorrect weed membrane placement. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like composite decking boards, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we’ll provide the paperwork on completion. We also offer practical aftercare guidance so planting, gravel and surfaces continue to perform as intended.
We tailor options to your space and style, from premium artificial grass with realistic pile to composite decking in modern greys or warm timber tones. Popular low-upkeep choices include gravel with strong edging, porcelain or sandstone paving, evergreen structure planting, and container schemes for terraces. Automated irrigation can be zoned for pots and beds. We’ll bring samples, explain pros and cons, and specify finishes that suit your budget and maintenance goals.
