Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Holborn
In Holborn and across Camden we are most often asked for roof terrace and loft works and garden terracing and landscaping on sloping plots. Bloomsbury has Georgian terraces around its squares, Primrose Hill and Belsize Park have stucco-fronted villas and terraces, and Hampstead mixes Georgian cottages with large red brick Victorian and Edwardian houses. Kentish Town and Gospel Oak are mainly Victorian terraces, West Hampstead has many mansion blocks, and the borough is also known for its post-war housing estates.
Patios & Gardens in Holborn
A garden you will actually use.
London gardens are small, overlooked and often badly drained. Good hard landscaping fixes all three. We build patios, decks, walls and garden rooms that make a narrow plot feel like another room of the house.

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Holborn
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Holborn?
Yes. Holborn is in Camden, where we work every week alongside Hampstead, Camden Town, Kentish Town and Belsize Park.
Porcelain or natural stone?
Porcelain is consistent, stain-resistant and very low maintenance. Natural stone has more character and weathers over time. We bring samples to the site visit so you can see both against your brickwork.
Will a new patio cause damp?
Not if it is built correctly. We keep the finished level at least 150mm below the damp-proof course, or add a drainage channel against the wall where that is not possible.
Does a garden room need planning permission?
Most garden rooms are permitted development if they are single-storey, under 2.5m high near a boundary, and not used as a separate dwelling. Flats and some conservation areas are exceptions. We check before you commit.
