In W6, outdoor space is often compact, overlooked and expected to do a lot—dining, relaxing and storage all in one. Our small garden design & build hammersmith area service turns tight plots into practical, beautiful gardens with clear space planning and multi-function zones. Whether you’re near King Street or walking distance from Hammersmith Bridge, we tailor the layout to your lifestyle and light levels. The result is a garden that feels bigger, calmer and easier to use.
Hammersmith and Fulham homes range from Victorian terraces with narrow rear gardens to mansion flats and modern riverside developments with balconies and courtyards. We’re used to working with limited access, shared boundaries and overlooked aspects, so privacy and vertical planting are built into the plan. Container planting suits paved courtyards and roof terraces, while mirrors and lighting can lift darker corners. Every scheme is designed to stay tidy and low maintenance year-round.
We start with a site visit to measure, assess drainage and sun, and agree priorities—seating, storage, planting, or entertaining. You’ll receive a clear design, materials specification and a staged programme, then our team builds with clean, careful workmanship and minimal disruption. We keep communication simple, protect surrounding finishes, and leave the site spotless. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for dependable timelines, transparent options and a finish that lasts.
In the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, many gardens have narrow side returns, stepped thresholds and limited delivery access. We plan materials and waste removal around permit parking and busy streets near transport routes, keeping disruption down. Local soils can vary, so we check drainage and specify the right sub-bases for paving and planters. For mansion flats and riverside schemes, we also design with wind exposure and balcony load limits in mind.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of building work. As a guide, a simple refresh with container planting, lighting and minor paving might start around £3,000–£7,000. A full small garden redesign with new paving, built-in seating/storage, raised beds and electrics is often £8,000–£20,000+. Premium finishes, bespoke joinery, or complex levels and drainage can push budgets higher.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A light makeover can be completed in a few days, while a full rebuild with paving, lighting, drainage and bespoke storage typically needs longer. Timescales depend on access, curing times for concrete, lead times for materials, and whether we’re working around shared access or neighbour considerations common in terraces and mansion blocks.
Most garden improvements are permitted, such as paving, planting, lighting and standard fencing, but there are exceptions. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you’re changing boundary heights, adding substantial structures, or altering drainage to the public highway, rules may apply. We flag likely requirements early and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our build workmanship for hard landscaping elements such as paving sub-bases, retaining edges, built-in features and installation standards, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting fittings, composite materials and membranes. We also explain how to care for planting and surfaces to protect your investment. Any snagging issues are handled promptly and clearly.
For compact spaces we often combine porcelain or sandstone paving with raised planters, vertical trellis planting, and built-in seating that doubles as storage. Mirrors can increase the sense of depth, while layered lighting (step lights, wall lights, uplighters) extends use into the evening. Container planting is ideal for courtyards and balconies, and we can specify low-maintenance palettes with evergreen structure. We help you choose finishes to suit your property style and budget.
