Families around Queensway and Kensington Gardens often want a garden that feels relaxed without compromising safety. Our Child Safe Gardens service focuses on practical upgrades such as secure gates, rounded edges and soft landing surfaces where children actually play. If you have a pond or water feature, we add discreet pond safety measures that keep the garden looking elegant. Every detail is planned to reduce trips, falls and escape risks while keeping the space enjoyable.
Bayswater’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion conversions and period flats brings unique garden layouts, from compact courtyards to shared rear gardens. We’re used to working with narrow side access, basement lightwells and split-level terraces, designing safe routes and clear sightlines. Planting is chosen with children in mind, avoiding toxic varieties and thorny hazards. If you’re in W2 near Whiteleys, we can tailor solutions that respect the style of the property and the expectations of the street.
We start with a safety-first site survey, then produce a clear design that covers boundaries, surfaces, planting and play zones. Installation is managed by experienced landscapers with tidy working practices and careful protection of existing features. You’ll get straightforward recommendations, transparent options and a finish that looks premium rather than “childproofed”. Homeowners trust us for consistent communication, punctual scheduling and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.
Gardens in the City of Westminster often involve conservation considerations, shared boundaries and limited access for materials. In Bayswater, we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully, and we favour low-disruption installation methods for mansion blocks and period flats. Drainage and levels can vary between paved courtyards and older lawned squares, so we specify surfaces and sub-bases that stay stable and safe. Our designs suit the area’s formal look while still delivering child safe gardens Bayswater area families can rely on.

Costs depend on size, access and how many safety elements you need. For a small courtyard or terrace, budget roughly £2,000–£6,000 for safer surfacing, rounded edging and gate upgrades. Medium gardens with fencing, planting changes and a defined play zone are often £6,000–£15,000. Larger or more complex projects (pond safety, bespoke joinery, premium surfaces) can run £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days on site after design is agreed. A simple upgrade (gate, edging, surfacing under equipment) may be completed in 1–3 days. Full garden reworks with new fencing, planting, drainage and multiple zones typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales vary with access in W2, weather, curing time for hard surfaces, and lead times for bespoke gates or fencing.
Many child-safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfacing, or installing play equipment. However, fences, gates and boundary changes can be restricted by height limits, listed building status or conservation area rules, which are common in the City of Westminster. If your property is a mansion conversion or listed stucco townhouse, we’ll check constraints and advise on what’s compliant before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship, covering installation of items such as fencing, gates, edging, paving bases and constructed features when maintained correctly. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like artificial grass, safety surfacing systems and play equipment. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing, along with care guidance to keep surfaces safe, gates aligned and fixings secure over time.
Options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hardware, and rounded timber or stone edging. For soft landings, we can install rubber mulch, bonded rubber, or quality artificial grass with appropriate shock-pad. Pond safety can be achieved with rigid grilles, raised edges or redesigning to rills. We’ll recommend finishes that suit period architecture and create child safe gardens in City of Westminster homes without compromising style.
