Patios, Decking & Landscaping in Kensington and Chelsea
In Kensington and Chelsea we are most often asked for whole-house refurbishments of period terraces and natural stone paving for small courtyard gardens. The south of the borough is known for tall stucco terraces around garden squares, red brick mansion blocks in Earl's Court and Chelsea, and cobbled mews. Further north, Notting Hill has painted Victorian terraces and villas, while North Kensington mixes smaller Victorian houses with post-war estates.
Patios & Gardens in Kensington and Chelsea
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.

Planning and the council
Most of the borough lies within conservation areas and the council applies firm limits to basement excavations, including how they are built and managed. Check early on anything affecting the front of a property, the roofline or a party wall.

FAQ
Patios & Gardens in Kensington and Chelsea
Not answered here? Call 07595 386864 and ask us directly.
Do you carry out patios, decking & landscaping in Kensington and Chelsea?
Yes. We work across Kensington and Chelsea, including Chelsea, South Kensington, Earl's Court, Notting Hill and Holland 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.
