From Portobello Road Market to Notting Hill Gate, outdoor space here needs to be practical as well as polished. Our pet-focused designs balance safe planting, robust surfaces and calm zones for rest and play. Whether you want a discreet dog run or a full family garden with pet-proof details, we tailor everything to your routine. We also consider W11 access and neighbour-friendly boundaries from day one.
Notting Hill’s pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses often come with compact courtyards, raised terraces or long, narrow gardens. We’re used to working around basement lightwells, steps and tight side returns in streets near Ladbroke Grove and Holland Park. For pets, those layouts can create pinch points, muddy patches and escape routes if they’re not planned properly. We redesign circulation, drainage and planting so the garden stays tidy and safe.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s habits—digging, sprinting, sunbathing or fence-testing. Then we propose a clear plan covering secure fencing, non-toxic plants, durable lawns, shade spots and easy-clean surfaces, with options for water features and designated digging areas. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy handover and care guidance for new turf and planting. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, high-end finishes and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often have limited access, controlled parking and strict noise expectations. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours carefully, especially around W11 streets and busy routes near the Carnival route. Shaded courtyards and basement gardens can stay damp, so we specify slip-resistant surfaces and drainage to reduce odours and algae. Our designs suit mews proportions and period detailing while keeping pets secure.

Costs vary with size, access and the features you choose. For smaller mews or courtyard upgrades in W11, budgets often start around £3,000–£8,000 for secure fencing, easy-clean surfacing and planting tweaks. Mid-size gardens with new turf, drainage improvements and a dog run commonly fall between £10,000–£25,000. Full redesigns with premium paving, lighting and bespoke joinery can be £25,000+.
A simple refresh—such as replacing lawn, adding pet-safe planting and improving gates—typically takes 3–7 working days. A more involved build with new paving, fencing, drainage and a dedicated dog run usually takes 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access for materials, weather (especially for turf), curing time for bases, and whether we’re coordinating with other building works common in Notting Hill renovations.
Most rear-garden landscaping, like replacing lawns, adding paths, dog runs and planting, is usually permitted development. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, tall boundary treatments, and works affecting trees. In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea we check constraints early, including boundary heights and any tree protections. If approvals are needed, we guide you on the right route before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping and structural elements, giving you long-term confidence. This covers issues linked to installation, such as movement in paving due to base preparation or fixing failures in built features. Wear and tear from heavy pet use, extreme weather, or lack of maintenance isn’t included, but we’ll explain how to care for lawns, joints and surfaces to keep everything performing well.
Popular choices include durable turf or reinforced lawn systems, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy cleaning, and secure timber or metal fencing with pet-proof gaps. We can add a dog run with permeable surfacing, a designated digging area with contained sand/soil, and shade spots using planting or pergolas. Non-toxic plant palettes are selected to suit sun/shade conditions. We’ll recommend options based on your pet’s behaviour and your home’s style.
