Families in BR7 want gardens that feel open and beautiful, without hidden hazards. From properties near Chislehurst Common to homes closer to Chislehurst Caves, we design spaces where children can play safely and adults can relax. Our child-safety upgrades blend into the landscape, so the garden looks considered rather than “childproofed”. Every detail is planned to reduce risk while keeping the garden enjoyable year-round.
Chislehurst’s large detached houses, Victorian villas and period properties often come with mature boundaries, level changes and older pond features. We regularly work on long plots with side access constraints and established planting that needs careful handling. Whether you’re in Elmstead or nearby Mottingham, we tailor solutions to suit the property’s character and the way your family uses the garden. The result is a safer layout that still complements traditional architecture and high-end finishes.
We start with a safety survey, then produce a clear design and itemised specification covering fencing, gates, surfaces and planting. You’ll know what’s changing, why it matters, and how it will look once complete. Our team installs with tidy site management, child-aware risk controls, and a final walkthrough to confirm every latch, edge and surface performs as intended. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, premium workmanship and dependable aftercare.
In the London Borough of Bromley, we often see clay-heavy ground and shaded areas from mature trees, which influence drainage and surface choices. Many BR7 homes have long rear gardens, meaning careful planning for access, deliveries and skip placement. We also account for boundary heights, shared fences and visibility lines so play areas stay easy to supervise. If any works sit near public footpaths or shared edges, we plan layouts that keep security and neighbour relations intact.

Costs depend on the size of the garden and which safety upgrades you need. As a guide, targeted improvements (gate latches, edging changes, small resurfacing) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A more comprehensive package with secure fencing, new soft surfacing and redesigned planting commonly falls between £6,000–£18,000+. If pond safety or major level changes are involved, budgets can rise accordingly.
Most projects take 2–10 working days, depending on scope. Quick safety upgrades such as rounding edges, improving sightlines and fitting secure gate hardware can be completed in 1–3 days. Full garden safety refits with fencing, new surfacing and play-area construction typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales vary with access, curing times for bases, weather, and whether we’re working around existing planting or structures.
Most child-safety garden works are permitted development, such as replacing fencing, installing gates, adjusting paths and adding soft surfaces. However, rules can apply to fence heights next to highways, listed buildings, conservation considerations, and major changes to levels or structures. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Bromley before work begins, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and hard landscaping associated with the safety works. It covers defects arising from installation, including fixings, alignment and structural integrity of the built features. Materials are covered by relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. We also provide a handover checklist so you know how to maintain latches, surfaces and finishes for long-term performance.
We offer a wide range of options to suit period homes and modern tastes: close-board or slatted fencing with secure gates, rounded composite or timber edging, and soft landing surfaces such as rubber mulch, wet-pour rubber or quality play-grade turf. For pond safety, we can add rigid covers, discreet barriers or redesign into a shallow rill. We’ll recommend choices based on supervision sightlines, durability, drainage and the look you want.
