Coulsdon’s open spaces and family homes make gardens a natural extension of daily life, especially near Farthing Downs and Old Coulsdon. We create safety-first outdoor spaces that still feel calm and premium. Expect practical solutions like secure fencing, visible play zones and rounded edges where children run and climb. Every design is tailored to your garden layout, not a one-size template.
Across CR5 you’ll find large detached houses, well-loved 1930s properties and newer developments with mixed levels and terraces. We plan child safety around typical features such as steps, retaining walls, ponds and side access routes. For sloping plots common around the downs, we specify stable edging and slip-resistant paths. The result is a garden that works for toddlers now and older children later.
We start with a site visit and risk-led design review, then propose materials and layouts that reduce hazards without looking clinical. Our team installs safe equipment, secure gates and soft landing surfaces with tidy workmanship and clear communication. We keep disruption controlled with staged works and safe storage on site. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, high-end finishes and a proven, family-focused approach.
Coulsdon plots often sit on chalky downland soils with changes in level, so we prioritise stable foundations, anti-slip finishes and robust edging. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary lines, shared access and local expectations across the London Borough of Croydon. If approvals are needed for fences, gates or structures, we’ll flag it early and guide you through.

Costs vary with garden size, levels and how many safety features you need. As a guide in the child safe gardens Coulsdon area, targeted upgrades (like secure gates, pond protection, soft surfacing under play equipment) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A fuller redesign with fencing, new surfaces, planting and play-zone construction is commonly £8,000–£25,000+. We provide an itemised quote after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on complexity and weather. Quick safety upgrades—such as fitting a secure gate, rounding edges, or adding soft landing surfaces—can be completed in 1–3 days. Larger builds involving fencing runs, new paving, drainage, and regrading for safe levels typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, and material lead times.
Many garden safety improvements fall under permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting, or installing most play equipment. However, fences, walls and gates can have height limits, and corner plots or listed buildings may have extra constraints. For child safe gardens in London Borough of Croydon, we check boundary conditions, visibility splays and any relevant restrictions before work starts, and we can advise on when you should contact the council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, paving and constructed features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like artificial grass, safety surfacing systems and play equipment, and we pass those details on clearly. If something settles, loosens or fails due to installation within the warranty period, we’ll return to put it right.
Options range from timber or composite secure fencing, self-closing gate hardware, and rounded timber edging, to resin-bound or rubber safety surfacing for play zones. For planting, we recommend non-toxic, low-thorn choices and avoid high-risk species. Pond safety can include rigid grilles, lockable covers, or discreet barriers. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home style—1930s, detached, or modern—while meeting safety needs.
