Busy family gardens around Brixton Hill and Windrush Square need practical safety upgrades that still look premium. We design child-friendly layouts with clear sightlines, secure boundaries and safer materials, so outdoor time feels relaxed. From lockable gates to soft landing zones, every detail is planned to reduce everyday risks. Our team can also address pond and water-feature safety without turning the garden into an eyesore.
Homes across SW2 and SW9 range from Victorian terraces with long, narrow plots to smart modern developments with compact courtyards and balconies. We’re experienced at making small spaces work hard—creating visible play areas, safe routes and tidy storage for toys. For period properties, we match fencing and gates to existing brickwork and ironwork. For newer builds, we integrate contemporary finishes that keep the garden clean-lined and secure.
We start with a site survey and a child-safety checklist, then produce a clear design and itemised specification. Installation is handled by our in-house team, with careful protection of paths, interiors and shared access routes. You’ll get straightforward guidance on safe planting choices, equipment placement and ongoing maintenance. Local homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that looks intentional—not improvised.
As a vibrant part of the London Borough of Lambeth, Brixton includes tight access terraces and shared alleyways where deliveries and waste storage matter. We plan for parking and loading near busy streets by Electric Avenue and around Brixton Market, scheduling works to minimise disruption. Drainage and levels are checked carefully, especially where older paving has settled. Our designs suit the area’s mix of period gardens and modern courtyards, keeping play areas visible and secure.

Costs vary by size, access and how many safety features you need. As a guide in Brixton, targeted upgrades (gate locks, safer planting, minor edging changes) often start around £900–£2,500. A fuller child-safety refit with new fencing, soft surfacing, equipment bases and pond protection is commonly £4,000–£12,000+. We provide a site visit and itemised options so you can prioritise what matters most.
Most projects take 2–7 working days, depending on scope. Simple improvements like securing gates, swapping hazardous plants and adding soft landing surfaces can be completed in a couple of days. Larger works—new fencing lines, re-levelling, pond safety measures and installing safe equipment bases—may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in terrace streets, curing times for surfaces, and any bespoke joinery.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as internal fencing, replacing gates, and most landscaping changes. However, rules can apply to fence heights near highways, front boundary treatments, listed buildings and conservation areas. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and help you check Lambeth requirements before work starts. If permissions or landlord approvals are needed, we can align the design to meet them.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation, covering issues such as structural fixing failures, fence and gate installation defects, and problems arising from our construction methods. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like gates, surfacing systems and play equipment components. We’ll explain what’s covered in writing and provide care guidance to keep surfaces, hinges and safety features performing as intended over time.
Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, lockable metal or timber gates, and soft landing surfaces such as bonded rubber mulch, wetpour, or high-quality artificial grass with shockpad. For edging, we use rounded timber, setts with eased corners, or smooth porcelain details where appropriate. We’ll recommend non-toxic, low-allergen planting and position play equipment for clear visibility from key rooms.
