Holland Park gardens often have limited footprints but high expectations, especially around Holland Park and the Design Museum. We design and build compact spaces that feel calm, usable and beautifully detailed. Expect clever space planning, layered planting and lighting that extends evenings outdoors. Every element is chosen to suit your lifestyle, not a catalogue look.
In W11 and W14 we regularly work with large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and period properties where outdoor areas can be long, narrow or overlooked. Our designs use vertical planting, mirrors and carefully placed focal points to create depth and privacy. Multi-function areas make room for dining, lounging and play without clutter. Low-maintenance planting keeps the garden looking sharp with minimal weekly effort.
We start with a site visit, measurements and a clear brief, then produce a practical layout and materials plan before build begins. Our team manages access, deliveries and tidy working, which matters on Holland Park’s tighter streets. You’ll get transparent scheduling, quality workmanship and aftercare guidance for planting and lighting. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for dependable delivery and finishes that suit premium properties.
Across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be restricted and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Many Holland Park gardens sit between tall buildings, creating shade and dry pockets; we select plants that cope and still look lush. Period properties can have old paving, drainage quirks and level changes, so we assess ground conditions before finalising the build. We also keep an eye on any conservation considerations that may apply near Holland House and surrounding streets.

Costs vary with access, levels and specification. For a compact Holland Park garden, allow roughly £6,000–£15,000 for a refresh with paving, planting and lighting upgrades. A full redesign and build with bespoke joinery, built-in storage, premium paving and irrigation commonly falls around £15,000–£35,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit and measured plan.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site once designs and materials are agreed. Simple upgrades (containers, lighting, minor paving and planting) can be completed in a few days. Full builds with drainage, new paving, raised beds, bespoke storage and electrics usually take longer, especially with restricted access in W11/W14. Lead times for bespoke joinery and specialist materials can add 2–6 weeks before start.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planters, lighting and most planting schemes. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments, significant level changes and some structures like tall screens or outbuildings. We check constraints relevant to your address and advise on what’s needed before work begins. If approvals are required, we can help with drawings and supporting information.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the built elements we install, such as paving, walls, steps, raised beds and built-in structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like lighting, decking boards or membranes. Planting is living material, so we advise on aftercare and can offer maintenance visits to help establishment. Any snagging issues are addressed promptly and transparently.
Popular choices include porcelain paving for a crisp, low-maintenance finish, natural stone for period character, and composite decking where warmth underfoot matters. We often combine container planting with vertical trellis systems, mirrors to increase perceived space, and integrated bench seating with hidden storage. Lighting can include step lights, uplighters and subtle wall washes. We guide you through samples, durability and slip resistance to match your home and budget.
