Busy family life in W4 deserves an outdoor space that feels relaxing, not risky. We design child-focused gardens that look premium while reducing everyday hazards, from slips to sharp edges. Whether you’re near Chiswick High Road or walking distance to Chiswick House, we’ll shape zones for play, planting and entertaining. The result is a garden that works for toddlers now and older children later.
Chiswick’s Georgian houses, Victorian villas and Edwardian family homes often come with mature boundaries, level changes and compact side access. We plan layouts that keep play areas visible from the kitchen or patio, and we upgrade tired fencing and gates without spoiling period character. For larger plots near Gunnersbury or closer to Kew, we can create separate play lawns and quieter adult seating. Every scheme balances safety, durability and the look your property deserves.
We start with a safety-led survey, then produce a clear design and specification covering surfaces, planting and equipment placement. Installation is managed by our in-house team with tidy working practices and clear daily updates. You’ll get practical guidance on child-safe planting and ongoing maintenance, plus documentation for key materials and fittings. Homeowners choose us for careful detailing, reliable scheduling, and a finish that stands up to family use.
Working in the London Borough of Hounslow means factoring in parking controls, narrower streets, and restricted access common around Chiswick High Road. We plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low, and we choose materials that cope with heavy footfall from family gardens. Many Chiswick plots have established trees and shaded areas, so we select safer, low-allergen planting where possible and position play zones for better visibility. If approvals are needed for boundary changes, we’ll guide you through the checks.

Costs vary with size, access, and what’s being upgraded. As a guide, targeted safety improvements (gate latches, edging changes, safer planting) often start from £1,500–£4,000. A mid-sized redesign with secure fencing, soft landing surfaces and new paths is commonly £8,000–£20,000. Larger gardens with premium fencing, drainage, lighting and bespoke play zones can be £25,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site survey.
Small safety upgrades can be completed in 1–3 days. Most child safe garden projects in the Chiswick area take 1–3 weeks, especially if they include new fencing, surfacing, and planting. Larger redesigns with drainage, lighting, patios and multiple zones may take 4–8 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for concrete, and lead times for fencing, gates, and play equipment.
Most garden safety upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing fencing, adding gates, changing surfaces, or installing play equipment. However, rules can apply to fence heights (especially front boundaries), listed buildings, conservation areas, and work near highways or shared access. We check the relevant guidance for the London Borough of Hounslow and flag anything that may need approval before work starts. If required, we can help you prepare the information for an application.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation, covering issues caused by our fitting of key elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and hard landscaping. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, safety surfacing systems, and play equipment, and we’ll pass all documentation to you. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or lack of routine maintenance, but we’ll always advise on best care.
Options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-proof latches, self-closing gates, and low-splinter timber or composite details. For soft landings, we commonly use bonded rubber mulch, wetpour, or high-quality turf with impact-rated underlay where suitable. Pond safety can be handled with rigid grilles, lockable covers, or discreet barriers. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home’s style, budget, and how your children play.
