Earl’s Court homeowners often want outdoor space that looks polished without constant weekend work. Around Earl’s Court tube station and Philbeach Gardens, we create practical layouts using gravel areas, evergreen planting and crisp edging for a neat, year-round feel. Where lawns struggle in shade, artificial grass offers a clean, consistent finish. The result is a garden that suits a cosmopolitan neighbourhood and its fast pace.
The SW5 streets are full of Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties, many with compact rear gardens or communal courtyards. We design for limited footprints, light levels and privacy, using container planting to add greenery without demanding borders. Composite decking is a popular choice for terraces and seating zones because it stays stable and easy to clean. For the low maintenance gardens Earl's Court area is known for, we focus on durable surfaces and planting that holds its shape.
We start with a site visit, measure-up and a clear plan showing levels, drainage and materials before any work begins. Installation is handled by our in-house team, from weed membrane and gravel to hard landscaping and automated irrigation. We keep disruption low with tidy work areas and scheduled deliveries, useful on busy streets near West Brompton and Kensington. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable timelines, transparent specifications and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Earl’s Court gardens often sit between tall Victorian buildings, creating shade and uneven moisture levels, so we specify evergreens and shade-tolerant container planting. Access can be tight in mansion blocks, so we plan material handling, waste removal and quieter working hours. We also consider local requirements in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, including boundary details and drainage best practice. Our approach keeps finishes neat and practical for SW5 properties and shared spaces.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, a small SW5 courtyard refresh with weed membrane, gravel and containers often starts around £3,000–£7,000. Adding composite decking typically brings projects to £7,000–£15,000. Full redesigns with hard landscaping, artificial grass and automated irrigation commonly range from £12,000–£30,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, levels and the amount of hard landscaping. A straightforward artificial grass or gravel area can be completed in 2–4 days, while composite decking, new edging and planting usually extend the programme. Access restrictions, skip permits, drainage adjustments and curing times for concrete bases can add days. We confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing turf with artificial grass, adding gravel areas, installing irrigation and most like-for-like hard landscaping. Permission may be needed if you’re changing levels significantly, building raised platforms, altering boundary walls, or if the property is listed or within a conservation area. We flag any likely constraints during the survey and can advise on RBKC guidance and any applications if required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as structural failure due to installation (for example, unstable sub-bases, poor fixing or incorrect laying). Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like composite decking, artificial grass and irrigation components, and we pass these details to you. The warranty assumes normal use and reasonable care, and we explain maintenance steps at handover.
We tailor designs to how you use the space and the look of your property. Popular options include premium artificial grass with realistic pile, composite decking in grey or warm timber tones, gravel in Cotswold, slate or granite, and evergreen planting for structure. Container planting can add seasonal colour without heavy border maintenance. We bring samples, discuss drainage and shade, then specify a cohesive palette that suits your budget.
