Outdoor space around SW5 is often limited, but it can still be beautifully functional. Whether you’re near Earl’s Court tube station or walking distance to Philbeach Gardens, we design small gardens that feel open, green and easy to live with. Expect clever zoning, multi-function seating and planting that adds depth without crowding. We also use lighting and mirrors to extend the garden’s feel beyond its footprint.
Earl’s Court is known for Victorian architecture, and many homes are Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties with compact patios or courtyard gardens. These spaces often need privacy screening, tidy storage and planting that thrives in shade between tall buildings. Our small garden design & build Earl's Court area service is tailored to balconies, roof terraces and ground-floor gardens alike. We make every square metre count without overcomplicating maintenance.
We start with a measured site visit, then produce a practical concept and materials palette that suits your lifestyle and budget. Once agreed, our team handles the full build, from groundwork to planting and lighting, with clear scheduling and tidy working practices. You’ll get straightforward communication, durable detailing and aftercare advice for long-term results. Local homeowners choose us for reliable delivery and a finish that looks premium from day one.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many Earl’s Court gardens sit between tall buildings, creating shade and wind tunnels; we select plants and materials that cope well. Period properties also mean sensitive boundaries, older brickwork and drainage quirks, which we assess before building. Our small garden design & build in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea approach prioritises neat detailing and minimal disruption.

Budgets vary with size, access and specification, but many SW5 small garden projects fall between £6,000–£18,000 for design and build. A simple refresh with container planting, lighting and minor paving may start around £3,500–£7,500. More bespoke builds with built-in seating/storage, premium paving and irrigation can reach £20,000+. We provide a clear breakdown after a site visit and agreed scope.
Most compact gardens take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are confirmed. A light makeover (planters, planting, small patio area, lighting) can be completed in under a week, while bespoke joinery, drainage changes or extensive paving can extend to 4–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access restrictions, curing times for concrete and mortar, and lead times for specialist items like porcelain paving or custom storage.
Many garden upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting, and installing low-level lighting. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary walls, raised platforms, significant level changes or new structures. We’ll flag potential permissions early and can advise on what may need consent in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. If approvals are required, we help you prepare the right information before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving installation, built-in seating, edging and constructed features, subject to normal use and care. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, composite decking or membranes, and we pass these on where available. Planting is living material, so it’s covered differently; we give aftercare guidance and can offer maintenance plans to keep everything thriving.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a clean, low-maintenance finish, timber or composite decking for warmth, and corten/painted steel edging for crisp lines. For planting, we often use evergreen structure, climbers for vertical green walls, and container schemes that can be refreshed seasonally. Mirrors and layered lighting help small spaces feel larger and more inviting. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, privacy needs, and how you want to use the garden.
