Expert garden renovation services in Chelsea, SW3. Trusted by homeowners across Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Chelsea has some of the best small gardens in London, from the hidden courtyards behind Kings Road townhouses to the bigger rear gardens along Cheyne Walk and the Embankment. We design and build them to the standard the neighbourhood expects.
Courtyard gardens are a Chelsea speciality of ours. A lot of lower ground kitchens open onto a sunken courtyard that doubles as a lightwell and a spot to eat outside. We make the most of these tight spaces with good natural stone, specimen planting in made to measure planters, and lighting that keeps the space useable after dark. Wall mounted wirework for climbers, a water feature, the odd sculptural piece. Small details that lift a boundary wall.
The larger gardens on Carlyle Square, Markham Square, and the streets off Fulham Road suit a more formal hand. We lay out box edged borders, gravel paths, structural evergreens, and seasonal beds that sit well against the Georgian architecture and actually look like gardens, not showpieces.
We run these jobs with a light touch. Shared access stays clear, deliveries land within permitted hours, and the site is left clean at the end of every day.
Chelsea gardens run from tiny basement courtyards to proper walled gardens on the borough's squares. RBKC protects trees in conservation areas and limits hard surfacing in front gardens, but rear gardens are usually clear of planning constraints.
Outdoor space is scarce here, so a well designed garden is worth a lot. Our gardens give you a private spot that matches the quality and character of the house it belongs to.
“They turned our poky Chelsea courtyard into something special. Limestone paving, a water feature, lovely planting, and lighting that really makes it at night. We can see it from the kitchen, and it has become the spot we head to for a drink in the evening.”

We come and see the garden, ask how you want to use it, and work up a design that suits the house and the way you live.
You get a clear itemised quote covering materials, landscaping and build costs, with a set timeline.
Our team handles the lot, from groundwork and drainage through to the planting and the finishing touches.
Yes, it is one of the things we do most. We sort the drainage, lay quality paving, add planting and lighting, and end up with a space that works as both a lightwell and an outdoor room.
Trees in Chelsea conservation areas are protected, so you have to notify RBKC before any pruning or felling. We arrange the arboricultural survey and any applications as part of the job.
Shade tolerant evergreens like box, ferns, fatsia, and hydrangeas do well in Chelsea courtyards. We also use shade loving perennials, climbers such as star jasmine and hydrangea petiolaris, and seasonal bulbs for a bit of colour.
