Knightsbridge gardens often need clever, space-efficient access—especially around raised patios, basements and roof terraces near Harrods and Hyde Park. We design and build steps that feel like a natural extension of your home’s architecture, not an afterthought. From crisp block risers to hand-finished natural stone treads, every staircase is set out for comfortable stride and long-term stability. Lighting integration can be added for safer evening use and a polished finish.
Local properties range from grand mansion blocks to period townhouses and ultra-luxury apartments in Chelsea, Belgravia and South Kensington. These homes demand detailing that matches premium façades, heritage brickwork and high-end paving. We regularly work with tight side returns, basement lightwells and multi-level courtyards where access is limited. Our designs prioritise clean lines, minimal visual clutter and robust construction suited to high-value settings.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage, and agree the safest route for multi-level access. You’ll receive a clear specification covering materials, step geometry, edging, handrails and any electrics for lighting. Our installers protect surrounding finishes and keep the site tidy, with careful setting-out to avoid trip hazards and uneven risers. Fine Landscaping is trusted for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
In SW1, SW3 and SW7, deliveries and parking can be restricted, so we plan logistics and timings carefully. Many homes sit over basements or have lightwells, meaning load paths and fixing details must be considered before building new staircases. We also account for drainage and surface water run-off, particularly where patios fall toward the property. Our approach suits the high standards typical of steps & garden staircases in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster projects.

Costs vary with materials, number of steps, access and whether lighting or handrails are included. As a guide, simple sleeper or block steps often start around £1,200–£3,000. Natural stone steps typically range from £3,000–£8,000+ depending on stone choice and detailing. Spiral staircases and bespoke metalwork can be £6,000–£15,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site survey.
Most straightforward garden step installations take 2–5 days, including groundwork and making good around paving or planting. More complex schemes—multi-level access, retaining edges, handrails, or lighting integration—usually take 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on excavation depth, curing time for concrete bases, access constraints common in Knightsbridge, and lead times for stone, bricks or fabricated railings. We confirm a programme before work begins.
Many garden steps are permitted development, particularly when they’re within the property boundary and don’t significantly alter the street-facing appearance. However, Knightsbridge properties can be listed, within conservation areas, or subject to leaseholder/freeholder rules, which may require consent. If steps affect a front garden, railings, or boundary walls, additional permissions may apply. We flag likely requirements early and can work with your architect or managing agent to keep everything compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for steps and garden staircases, covering issues such as settlement caused by inadequate base preparation, loose units, or installation-related movement. The warranty assumes normal use and that drainage is maintained to prevent standing water and frost damage. Materials (such as stone, bricks, lighting components or metalwork) may also carry manufacturer warranties. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing with your specification.
We build natural stone steps (e.g., limestone, sandstone, granite), block steps for crisp modern lines, brick steps to match period façades, and sleeper steps for a warmer, garden-led look. For tight footprints, spiral staircases can provide elegant vertical access. Options include recessed step lights, low-glare LED strips, and bespoke handrails in powder-coated steel or stainless. We help you choose finishes that suit your paving, elevation and the level changes on site in the steps & garden staircases knightsbridge area.
