Chiswick gardens often need to do more with less—especially around W4 homes near Chiswick High Road and the riverside. Our small garden design and build service focuses on space planning, multi-function areas and planting that looks full without feeling crowded. Expect thoughtful details such as mirrors to bounce light, layered lighting for evening use, and container planting for flexible colour. The result is a garden that feels calm, usable and tailored to how you live.
From Georgian houses and Victorian villas to Edwardian family homes, Chiswick properties bring character—and constraints. Narrow side access, basement lightwells, and mature boundaries can all shape the layout. We design around period features while updating the garden for modern routines: dining, play, storage and year-round greenery. If you’re close to Gunnersbury or Kew, we’ll also factor in shade patterns and privacy needs typical of established streets.
We start with a site visit, then produce a clear concept and materials plan before any build begins. Our team handles design, sourcing and construction, keeping the programme tidy and neighbour-considerate—important on Chiswick’s tighter plots. You’ll get transparent staging, practical maintenance guidance, and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable communication, clean finishes and designs that age well.
In the London Borough of Hounslow, access and parking can be the biggest practical challenges, particularly on residential streets near Chiswick House. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to reduce disruption and keep sites safe. Local soils vary, so we assess drainage and improve sub-bases where needed for patios and paths. We also design with period property proportions in mind, so new features sit comfortably with older architecture.

Costs vary with size, access and specification. As a guide, a compact refresh with new paving, container planting and lighting might start around £6,000–£12,000. A full redesign with built-in storage, vertical planting systems, new boundaries and premium materials commonly falls between £15,000–£35,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit, so you can adjust priorities to suit budget.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design is agreed and materials are ordered. Simpler upgrades can be completed in under a week, while projects with drainage, raised beds, bespoke joinery and extensive lighting can take 3–5 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, lead times for paving or timber, and whether old hardstanding needs removal. We set a clear programme before starting.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, planting, and low-level raised beds. However, rules can apply to new boundary heights, structures, significant changes to levels, and work to listed buildings or within conservation areas. We’ll flag any likely constraints early and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Hounslow. If permissions or party wall matters are needed, we’ll advise on the best route.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, steps, retaining edges and built structures, when built to our specification. This covers defects arising from installation, not general wear, accidental damage or lack of maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like lighting, composite decking or specialist membranes. We also give aftercare guidance to keep everything performing well.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, brick edging to suit period homes, and timber or composite seating with built-in storage. For planting, we often combine evergreen structure with seasonal containers and climbers on trellis for vertical impact. Mirrors and slimline lighting can brighten shaded corners, especially on narrow plots. We’ll recommend options based on your style, budget, sun levels and how you want to use the space.
