Knightsbridge gardens often need to do more with less space, while still matching the finish of the surrounding architecture. We create layered terrace gardens that feel calm and purposeful, whether you’re near Harrods or a short walk from Hyde Park. Expect beautifully resolved levels, safe access, and planting that performs year-round. Every detail is tailored to SW1, SW3 and SW7 properties.
Our team regularly works across the terrace gardens Knightsbridge area, including Belgravia, South Kensington and Chelsea. Typical projects range from grand mansion blocks with communal terraces to period townhouses with split-level rear gardens and ultra-luxury apartments with roof terraces. We’re used to tight access routes, service lifts, and protecting high-value finishes. Designs are scaled to suit entertaining, privacy, and low-maintenance expectations.
We start with a site survey, levels check and drainage assessment, then produce a clear design and build plan. Construction is managed end-to-end: retaining walls, steps & access, irrigation, lighting, and planting are coordinated to avoid delays. You’ll receive written specifications, tidy working practices, and consistent communication throughout. Homeowners choose us for reliable timelines, premium workmanship, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Working across terrace gardens in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster means planning for restricted parking, delivery slots and considerate working hours. Many properties have basement extensions, lightwells and complex drainage runs, so we design falls, channels and soakaway options carefully. We also account for wind exposure on higher terraces and shade cast by mansion blocks. Materials and detailing are chosen to complement period façades and contemporary luxury finishes alike.

Costs vary with levels, access and specification. As a guide, smaller terrace upgrades with lighting and planting often start around £12,000–£25,000. Multi-level builds with retaining walls, steps, drainage solutions and irrigation commonly fall between £30,000–£80,000+. High-end schemes with stone paving, bespoke seating areas and water features can exceed £100,000, especially where crane lifts or complex waterproofing are required.
Most terrace garden projects take 2–6 weeks on site, depending on complexity. A compact terrace refresh with planting, irrigation and lighting may take 10–15 working days. Multi-level work involving retaining walls, steps & access and new drainage typically takes 4–8 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access restrictions, curing times for concrete, bespoke stone lead times, and any coordination with building management in mansion blocks.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, but Knightsbridge properties can have added constraints such as listed status, conservation areas, or leaseholder/building-management rules. Retaining walls above certain heights, new balustrades, significant level changes, or prominent lighting can trigger permissions. We review your site, check council guidance, and flag anything likely to need consent before work starts. Where required, we can support with drawings and specifications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our hard landscaping installations, including retaining walls, steps, paving and built seating areas, when installed to our specification. We also supply manufacturer warranties on products such as lighting, pumps and irrigation components. The warranty covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage or lack of maintenance. We give clear aftercare guidance and can offer ongoing garden maintenance if desired.
Common choices include porcelain or natural stone paving, brick or stone-faced retaining walls, and timber or composite seating with concealed storage. For planting, we often use structured evergreens, multi-stem trees, and layered perennials for year-round interest. Water features range from slim rills to reflective bowls with discreet pumps. We guide you through options based on light, wind exposure, maintenance preferences and the architectural style of your home.
