From secure gates to visible play areas, every detail is planned to suit how your household actually uses the garden. Ideal for homes around Clapham Old Town and the surrounding streets.
The Clapham mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often means compact plots, split levels and side returns. We’re used to working with narrow access routes and shared boundaries, making fencing and gates both discreet and robust. For family flats with communal constraints, we can propose child-safe planting and portable soft-surface zones. If you’re in Clapham North or Clapham South, we’ll tailor the design to your layout and lifestyle.
We start with a child-safety survey, then produce a clear plan covering surfaces, edges, planting and access points. You’ll get straightforward options for materials, a tidy schedule, and careful installation with minimal disruption. Our team prioritises safe equipment, rounded edges and pond safety measures that meet real-world family needs. Many local homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly and deliver dependable finishes.

Costs vary with garden size and how many safety upgrades you need. As a guide, targeted improvements (gate latches, rounded edging, non-toxic planting and small soft-surface areas) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A more comprehensive redesign with secure fencing, new surfacing, safe play zones and pond safety measures typically falls in the £6,000–£18,000+ range. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Smaller safety upgrades can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on access and materials. Most family garden projects in Clapham take 1–3 weeks, especially if we’re installing new fencing, gates and soft landing surfaces. Timescales are affected by ground preparation, drainage work, bespoke joinery, and lead times for materials. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as planting changes, surfacing and most play equipment. However, fencing height, gates on boundary lines, listed buildings, conservation areas and works near highways can trigger extra rules in Lambeth or Wandsworth. We’ll check the relevant guidance and flag anything that may need consent before you commit. If approvals are required, we can help you prepare the information needed.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installation work, covering issues such as structural fixing failures, poor installation and defects arising from our labour. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, fencing systems, gates and play equipment components. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, storm damage or normal wear and tear, but we’ll always advise on maintenance to keep everything safe and performing well.
Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hardware, rubber mulch or wet-pour safety surfacing, and smooth porcelain paving with rounded edging details. For planting, we recommend non-toxic, low-thorn choices and avoid high-risk species where children play. Pond safety can be handled with rigid grilles, secure covers or redesigning into a rill or wildlife area. We’ll guide you through options to suit your budget and style.
