The local mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments often demands careful detailing and sympathetic materials. We regularly work across SW3 and SW10, as well as nearby South Kensington and Knightsbridge, matching paving tones to brickwork, railings and period features. For mews homes and apartment courtyards, we design layouts that maximise usable space without feeling crowded. Our recommendations balance aesthetics, slip resistance and long-term maintenance.
We start with a site visit to check levels, access, and how water currently drains. Then we excavate to the correct depth, install a compacted sub-base, lay bedding, and set your paving with accurate falls and strong edge restraints. We keep the site tidy, communicate clearly, and finish with optional sealing once the surface has settled. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 35 minutes away, so you get responsive support and consistent workmanship.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means tight access, controlled parking and careful material deliveries. We plan logistics around permit bays and narrower streets near Stamford Bridge and the King’s Road corridors. Many properties have basement works, lightwells or older retaining walls, so we assess load and drainage routes before laying. Our team adapts levels and detailing to protect thresholds, steps and neighbouring boundaries.

Costs in Chelsea vary by material, access and ground preparation. As a guide, concrete paving often starts around £90–£140 per m², block paving around £110–£170 per m², and premium natural stone or porcelain typically £140–£240+ per m². Prices rise where excavation is deeper, drainage channels or soakaways are needed, or where access is restricted in SW3/SW10.
Most paving projects take 3–10 working days, depending on size and complexity. A small patio or path may be completed in a few days, while a larger driveway with edging, steps and drainage can take one to two weeks. Timescales are affected by excavation depth, waste removal, curing/settling time, and delivery access. We provide a clear schedule before work starts.
Many garden patios and driveways are permitted development, but rules can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to access. For front gardens, permeable paving or proper drainage is often required to manage surface water. We check your site conditions and advise on compliant options, including permeable block paving, channel drains and soakaways. If permissions are needed, we can support with specifications and drawings.

Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty is subject to normal use and correct maintenance, and excludes damage from third-party works, tree root movement, or severe ground disturbance beyond our control.
