Knightsbridge gardens often need to deliver privacy, beauty and practicality in limited space. Whether you’re near Harrods or a short walk from Hyde Park, we design compact outdoor rooms that feel calm and considered. Expect intelligent space planning, vertical planting and container schemes that suit balconies, courtyards and small terraces. The result is a garden that looks exceptional year-round without demanding constant upkeep.
Local properties range from grand mansion blocks and period townhouses to ultra-luxury apartments across SW1, SW3 and SW7. These homes frequently come with shaded courtyards, roof terraces or narrow rear gardens that benefit from multi-function areas and built-in storage. We design around sightlines, neighbouring windows and premium finishes so the garden complements high-end interiors. If you’re in Chelsea, South Kensington or Belgravia, we’ll tailor the layout to your building’s character and access constraints.
Our process starts with a site survey, measurements and a clear brief, followed by concept visuals and a detailed build plan. We manage the full build—hard landscaping, lighting, planting and finishing—so you deal with one accountable team from design to handover. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 35 minutes away, giving you responsive support without compromising craftsmanship. You’ll receive clear specifications, tidy working practices and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.
Knightsbridge projects often involve restricted access, timed deliveries and controlled parking, especially around SW3 and SW7. We plan logistics, protect communal areas in mansion blocks, and schedule works to minimise disruption. Many gardens are sheltered or shaded by surrounding buildings, so we specify plants and lighting that perform in lower light. We also align designs with local council expectations and building management requirements where applicable.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, finishes and the amount of hard landscaping. As a guide, a small courtyard refresh with container planting, lighting and minor paving changes often starts from £6,000–£12,000. A full design-and-build with new paving, built-in seating/storage, planting and electrics commonly falls between £15,000–£35,000+. Premium stone, bespoke joinery and complex logistics in mansion blocks can increase budgets.
Most small garden builds take 1–3 weeks on site once designs and materials are agreed. Simpler upgrades—containers, vertical planting, mirrors and lighting—can be completed in a few days. Full rebuilds with new paving, drainage adjustments, built-in storage and bespoke features take longer. Timescales depend on access restrictions, lead times for premium materials, and whether electrical works or waterproofing are required.
Many small garden improvements are permitted development, such as planting, paving repairs, and typical garden lighting. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, roof terraces, higher boundary treatments, or substantial structures. In Knightsbridge, mansion blocks may also have freeholder or managing agent requirements. We review your site, flag likely permissions, and can help you prepare the information needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, giving you confidence in the build quality. This typically covers issues related to installation standards, such as paving stability and structural integrity of built features, when maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like lighting, membranes and certain materials. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and provide aftercare guidance at handover.
Popular choices include large-format porcelain or premium natural stone paving, slimline built-in benches with hidden storage, and vertical planting using trellis, green walls or trained climbers. For planting, we often specify evergreen structure with seasonal containers for flexibility. Mirrors and reflective finishes can widen narrow spaces, while layered lighting adds depth at night. We guide you through samples, maintenance levels and how each option suits your property style.
