Families around Banstead High Street and Nork want outdoor spaces that feel open, but reduce everyday risks. We design child-friendly layouts with clear sightlines, safer boundaries and practical play zones that suit how you actually use the garden. From soft landing areas under climbing frames to safer planting, every detail is chosen to protect little ones without making the space look like a playground. We can also improve pond safety and remove common trip hazards.
Banstead’s mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes often comes with generous rear gardens and sloped sections near the downs. That means safety needs to work across patios, lawns, steps and level changes. We regularly upgrade side access routes and gates for buggies and bikes, while keeping the finish premium and in keeping with the property. If you’re in SM7 or nearby Tattenham Corner, we’ll tailor the design to your plot and lifestyle.
We start with a site survey and a child-safety checklist, then produce a clear plan covering fencing, gates, surfaces, planting and equipment placement. Our team installs with tidy working practices, secure fixings and rounded-edge detailing where it matters most. You’ll get straightforward recommendations, transparent options and a schedule you can rely on. Local homeowners choose us for careful craftsmanship, consistent communication and safety-first thinking.
Across Reigate and Banstead Borough, we often work with sloping gardens, mature hedges and older patios that create trip points. Access and parking can be tighter near Banstead High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also match materials to the area’s 1930s and executive-home styles, keeping safety upgrades discreet. Where boundaries meet neighbours, we help you choose compliant fence heights and gate positions.

Costs vary by size, existing condition and how many safety upgrades you need. As a guide, small upgrades (gate latches, minor edging changes, safer planting) often start from £800–£2,500. Mid-size projects with new fencing, soft surfacing and a redesigned play zone are commonly £4,000–£12,000. Full garden reworks for larger Banstead plots can be £15,000–£40,000+, especially with drainage, lighting and premium materials.
Simple safety improvements can be completed in 1–3 days. A typical child-safe refresh with new fencing sections, a gate, soft landing surfaces and planting usually takes 1–2 weeks. Larger redesigns for detached homes in SM7 may take 3–6 weeks depending on groundwork, drainage, curing times for paving, and lead times for bespoke gates or play equipment. We provide a clear programme before work starts.
Most child-safety garden works fall under permitted development, such as replacing fences, adding gates, adjusting patios, or installing play equipment. However, rules can change with fence height (especially next to highways), listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering levels and drainage. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, check relevant guidance for Reigate and Banstead Borough, and recommend the safest route before you commit.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, including paving, edging, retaining details and fixed structures we build. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we’ll pass on and explain. The warranty covers defects from installation, not accidental damage, misuse or normal wear. We also provide aftercare guidance to keep surfaces safe, stable and child-friendly over time.
Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hinges and lockable latches, and non-slip porcelain or textured sandstone for patios. For soft landings, we can install rubber mulch, wetpour, play-grade artificial grass, or bark in contained zones. Planting can focus on non-toxic, low-thorn varieties with clear borders. We’ll help you balance safety, durability, drainage and the look you want.
