Response within 24 hours
Battersea families want gardens that work for real life: bikes, ball games and busy weekends. We create safer outdoor spaces with secure fencing, visible play areas and soft landing surfaces, whether you’re near Battersea Park or around Nine Elms. Every design prioritises clear sightlines, controlled access and practical day-to-day use. The result is a garden that feels open, but behaves safely.
From Victorian terraces off Clapham Junction to mansion blocks near Battersea Power Station and luxury new builds in SW11 and SW8, Battersea gardens vary hugely in size and access. We’re used to compact courtyards, raised patios and roof-level terraces that need careful safety detailing. Our plans balance child-friendly features with premium finishes that suit high-value properties. We also consider storage, buggy access and durable materials that stand up to heavy use.
We start with a site survey and a child-safety audit: boundaries, levels, water features and pinch points. Then we propose a layout, materials and planting schedule, including rounded edges, safe equipment zones and pond safety solutions where needed. Work is delivered by our in-house team with tidy, well-managed scheduling and clear communication. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent options and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Battersea sites often have tight access, resident parking controls and shared boundaries, especially around Queenstown and mansion blocks. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to reduce disruption and keep neighbours onside. Local ground conditions can vary with made-up ground on newer developments, so we specify suitable sub-bases and drainage. If your property is within a managed estate, we’ll align designs with any freeholder requirements.

Costs depend on size, levels and the safety features required. As a guide, a focused safety upgrade (gates, boundary fixes, minor surfacing and planting changes) often starts from £2,500–£6,000. A mid-size redesign with new paving, soft landing areas and fencing is commonly £8,000–£20,000. Full garden builds with lighting, drainage, bespoke joinery and premium materials can be £25,000+.
Most projects in Battersea take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on access and scope. Small safety upgrades can be completed in a few days, while full redesigns with new paving, fencing, planting and play zones typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by weather, curing time for concrete, lead times for bespoke gates or equipment, and any drainage or level changes.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fences (within height limits), adding gates, installing soft surfaces and updating planting. However, rules can change for listed buildings, conservation areas, front boundaries, or if you’re altering levels significantly. In the London Borough of Wandsworth we check the relevant guidance, review any estate or freeholder conditions, and advise if an application or permission is sensible before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, covering workmanship and installation-related defects for items such as paving, sub-bases, edging, fencing and built structures. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like composite decking, artificial grass, gates and play equipment. We’ll explain what’s covered in your proposal and provide care guidance to help surfaces, fixings and planting perform well long term.
We tailor designs to your space and style, from Victorian terraces to modern courtyards. Popular options include secure timber or composite fencing, self-closing gates, rubber mulch or bonded resin for play zones, and porcelain paving with rounded edging details. For water features, we can add lockable covers, safety grilles or redesign to a rill or raised bowl. We’ll present samples, maintenance expectations and slip-resistance guidance to help you choose.
