Garden Design & Landscaping in Kensington

Kensington's grand stucco terraces and garden squares near Holland Park set a high bar for landscaping, and we design and maintain gardens across W8 and SW7 to match, from formal town gardens to smaller mews courtyards. When it comes to garden design & landscaping in Kensington, that local knowledge matters: Ground toward Holland Park tends to drain more freely than the heavier clay found on some of the older garden square plots, so we tailor soil preparation and planting choices to the specific street rather than assuming uniform conditions.

Why local matters for garden design & landscaping in Kensington

Choosing a team that already works across Kensington and W8, SW7 means we understand the gardens here, the London clay with well-draining brickearth patches near Holland Park ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes garden design & landscaping last in this part of London. We're regularly in Kensington and neighbouring Chelsea and Notting Hill, so a visit is easy to arrange.

Design first, build second

Every full landscaping project begins with a site survey: levels, drainage, aspect, soil type and the existing planting worth keeping. From that we produce a scaled concept plan and a planting scheme so you can see the finished garden before committing. Changes on paper cost nothing; changes in built stone cost a great deal.

One team for hard and soft landscaping

Because we handle groundworks, paving, structures and planting in-house, the levels of your patio relate properly to your lawn, your drainage is designed in rather than fought later, and the planting suits the light each bed actually receives. You are not left coordinating three different trades who blame each other.
