Busy streets and compact outdoor spaces around Earl's Court tube station mean garden safety needs to be planned, not guessed. We design child-friendly layouts with secure gates, clear sightlines and safer surfaces for everyday play. Whether you’re near Philbeach Gardens or closer to West Brompton, we tailor each detail to how your family uses the space. The result is a garden that feels calm, practical and premium.
The Earl's Court area is known for Victorian architecture, with many Victorian mansion conversions, period flats and garden square properties. These gardens often include raised beds, steps, basement lightwells and shared boundaries—common pinch points for child safety. Our team is used to working with tight access routes, communal freeholder requirements and delicate existing features. If you’re in Kensington, Chelsea or Fulham, we’ll design a solution that suits the building and the lifestyle.
We start with a safety-led survey, then produce a clear plan covering fencing lines, gate positions, play zones and planting choices. Every build uses durable, child-appropriate materials, with rounded edges and properly fixed equipment. You’ll get straightforward scheduling, tidy working practices and clear sign-off checks at completion. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship and a 10-year warranty-backed finish.
Earl's Court gardens often sit behind mansion blocks with narrow side access and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We’re used to working around Victorian brickwork, basement areas and shared boundary walls common across SW5. Where council guidance or building management rules apply, we help you stay compliant. Our designs also account for shade patterns from taller buildings and mature street trees.

Costs vary with garden size, access and the safety features you choose. As a guide, targeted upgrades (gate latches, rounded edging, small soft-surface zones) often start from £1,500–£3,500. A more complete child-safety refit with secure fencing, surfacing, planting changes and equipment installation is commonly £6,000–£18,000+. Complex levels, bespoke joinery or premium paving can increase the budget.
Smaller safety improvements can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on access and drying times for fixings. Most mid-sized projects take 1–2 weeks, especially where fencing, surfacing and planting are all included. Full redesigns with drainage, paving and bespoke carpentry may take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by site access in mansion conversions, material lead times and weather.
Most child-safety garden works are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfaces, or installing typical garden fencing within allowed heights. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, front boundaries, and some communal gardens managed by freeholders. We’ll flag likely issues early, check relevant guidance for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and can help with drawings or specifications if an application is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed elements such as fencing, gates, edging, raised structures and hard landscaping. This covers defects arising from installation, including fixings and structural stability, provided the garden is used normally and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like play equipment, artificial grass or specialist surfacing. We’ll explain what’s covered before work begins and provide aftercare guidance.
Popular options include slatted or closeboard fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hardware, and rounded timber or composite edging. For soft landing surfaces, we can install rubber mulch, bonded rubber, artificial grass with shock-pad, or natural lawn with reinforced mesh in high-wear areas. Pond safety can include rigid covers, raised edges or discreet barriers. We’ll recommend choices based on your layout, maintenance preferences and the look of your period property.
