Living around One Canada Square and Jubilee Park often means compact terraces, balconies, and podium gardens that need smart safety upgrades. We design child-focused outdoor spaces with secure fencing, safe equipment and clear sightlines for supervising play. From pond safety to soft landing surfaces, every detail is planned to reduce risk while keeping the garden attractive. Our solutions suit busy households who want peace of mind without a clinical look.
Canary Wharf homes are typically modern high-rise apartments, waterfront developments and penthouses, often with communal areas or private terraces. We’re experienced with podium decks, raised planters and wind-exposed spaces common across the Isle of Dogs and Poplar. Materials are selected for durability and easy maintenance, ideal for residents with limited storage and tight service-lift access. Where space is limited, we prioritise visible play areas and multi-use layouts.
We start with a child-safety survey, then produce a practical design covering secure gates, rounded edges and safe circulation routes. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices suited to managed buildings and concierge rules. You’ll get clear specifications for non-toxic planting and compliant fixings, plus aftercare advice to keep everything performing as intended. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for dependable workmanship and a safety-first approach that still looks premium.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, access can involve service lifts, loading bays and timed deliveries, especially near Crossrail Place. We plan materials and waste removal around building management requirements and limited parking. Waterfront conditions can be breezy and exposed, so we specify stable fixings, non-slip surfaces and hardy, non-toxic planting. For E14 terraces and podium gardens, we also account for drainage, weight limits and neighbour privacy.

Costs vary with space, access and the safety features you choose. For small terraces or podium gardens, upgrades such as secure gates, child-safe planting and soft surfacing often start around £1,500–£4,000. More comprehensive projects with new fencing, bespoke planters with rounded edges, and safety-rated play surfacing typically fall between £5,000–£15,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 2–7 working days, depending on size and complexity. A straightforward safety refresh—adding secure gates, swapping hazardous plants, and installing soft landing areas—can be completed in a few days. Full redesigns with fencing, decking adjustments, pond safety measures and new layouts may take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are influenced by building access rules, delivery slots and any bespoke fabrication.
Many garden safety improvements are usually permitted, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfacing, and installing most play equipment. However, fences, railings and gates can be subject to height limits, boundary rules, or conditions set by your building management—particularly in newer developments. If your property is listed or within a controlled estate, extra permissions may apply. We check constraints and advise before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and fixed surfacing, provided normal use and basic maintenance are followed. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like play surfaces, fixtures and fittings, and we’ll pass these on in writing. If an issue arises, we arrange an inspection and put it right where it falls within warranty terms.
Options include secure slatted or welded-mesh fencing, self-closing gates, and rounded-edge planters in timber, composite or stone-effect finishes. For soft landing surfaces, we commonly use rubber mulch, wetpour rubber, or premium artificial grass with shock-pad underlay. Pond safety can be achieved with rigid grilles, covers or discreet barriers. We’ll recommend choices based on your child’s age, space constraints, and the look you want.
