We create practical garden layouts that reduce everyday risks without making the space feel boxed in. Expect secure fencing and gates, safer pond solutions, and soft landing surfaces where children run and climb. Every detail is planned so play areas stay visible from the house.
Homes across BR3 include Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions, each with different boundaries and levels. We’re used to side access constraints, shared driveways and narrow passages in areas such as Eden Park and New Beckenham. Our child safe gardens Beckenham area service is designed to work with existing patios, steps and retaining walls, improving safety while keeping the garden stylish. Planting is chosen carefully to avoid common irritants and toxic species.
We start with a site survey and a child-safety checklist, then produce a clear plan covering fencing lines, gate hardware, surface choices and equipment placement. Work is delivered in tidy stages, with safe temporary barriers where needed and a final snagging visit. You’ll get straightforward maintenance guidance so the garden stays safe as children grow. Many local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and transparent communication from start to finish.
Beckenham gardens often sit on mixed London clay and made ground, so we specify stable sub-bases for safer, even surfaces.

We also account for boundary conditions typical of 1930s semis and Edwardian plots, including shared fences and mature trees. Our approach suits child safe gardens in London Borough of Bromley, balancing safety with a premium finish.

Costs vary with size, access and what needs upgrading. As a guide in BR3, improving safety with new secure fencing/gates and safer surfacing often starts around £2,500–£6,000 for smaller gardens. More comprehensive projects including pond safety, play-area surfacing, planting changes and new equipment commonly fall between £7,000–£20,000+. We’ll survey and provide an itemised estimate so you can prioritise.
Most safety upgrades take 2–7 working days, depending on how much groundwork is required. A simple fence-and-gate replacement may be completed in a few days, while adding soft landing surfaces, reshaping levels, relocating a pond, and installing equipment can take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, curing times for bases, and any bespoke joinery or metalwork. We confirm a schedule before starting.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fencing (within height limits), adding gates, and installing play equipment. However, rules can change for listed buildings, flats/period conversions, boundary walls, and front garden works, and there may be restrictions around highway-facing fences. We check the specifics for your property in the London Borough of Bromley and advise if permission or landlord/freeholder consent is needed before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, sub-bases and hard landscaping, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like play equipment, artificial grass, and specialist pond covers, and we’ll pass those details on clearly. If something settles or a fitting needs adjustment, we arrange a prompt inspection and remedial works where covered.
Popular choices include closeboard or slatted fencing with smooth planed tops, self-closing gate hinges, rubber mulch or wet-pour safety surfacing, and rounded timber or composite edging. For ponds, we can install rigid safety grilles, lockable covers, or discreet perimeter fencing. Planting can be redesigned with non-toxic, low-allergen options and thorn-free boundaries. We’ll recommend options based on your children’s ages, garden size, and the look you want.
