Earl's Court gardens often need smart planting and careful soil preparation to thrive in a busy SW5 setting. We create crisp lawns, layered borders and well-chosen trees that complement Victorian architecture and shared outdoor spaces. Whether you’re near Earl's Court tube station or walking distance from Philbeach Gardens, we tailor the planting palette to light levels, privacy needs and maintenance preferences. The result is a garden that looks established, not newly “done”.
Our work suits Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties where space is valuable and access can be tight. We’re used to courtyard gardens, raised beds and compact rear plots that need clever structure and seasonal planting. If you’re in Kensington, West Brompton, Chelsea or Fulham, we can design planting that respects neighbouring windows and creates screening without blocking light. Every scheme balances aesthetics with practicality for busy homeowners.
We start with a site visit to assess drainage, sunlight, soil condition and existing planting. Next comes a clear plan covering lawn installation, border planting, tree and shrub planting, hedging, topsoil improvement, mulching and optional irrigation. Our team protects pathways and communal areas, works to agreed schedules, and leaves the garden tidy and ready to enjoy. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and long-lasting results.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we plan for restricted access, resident parking controls and timed deliveries. Earl's Court properties can have compact gardens, basement lightwells and mature trees that affect shade and root competition. We select plants that cope with these conditions and improve performance with soil conditioning and mulching. Where needed, we add discreet irrigation to protect new planting during dry spells.

Costs vary with access, garden size and the amount of soil improvement required. As a guide, lawn installation often starts from £900–£2,500 for small to medium gardens, while border planting can range from £600–£3,000 depending on plant density and specification. Tree planting is typically £250–£1,200 per tree including staking. Irrigation systems commonly fall between £1,200–£4,000.
Most projects take 1–5 days for smaller gardens, and 1–3 weeks for larger or more complex schemes. Lawn installation can be completed in a day or two once groundworks are ready, while planting and mulching often takes another day. Timescales depend on access for materials, weather, soil condition, and whether irrigation is included. We provide a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated.
Soft landscaping such as planting, lawning, mulching and most irrigation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, works affecting protected trees, or changes near boundaries. If your property is a mansion conversion or within a managed garden square, there may also be freeholder or management company rules. We check constraints and advise before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed elements where applicable, covering issues arising from our installation standards and agreed specification. For soft landscaping, this includes correct ground preparation, staking methods, and irrigation installation where fitted. Plants are living materials, so their performance depends on weather and aftercare; we provide clear care guidance and can offer maintenance visits to help new planting establish well.
We can create anything from crisp, simple borders to layered planting with year-round structure. Popular choices include evergreen screening (Portuguese laurel, yew), pollinator-friendly perennials, ornamental grasses, and small trees suited to compact plots. For lawns, we’ll advise on turf versus seed and the best topsoil depth. Mulch options include composted bark and organic soil improvers. We help you choose based on light, style and upkeep.
