From quick kickabouts to after-school play, a garden should feel relaxing for parents and fun for children. We create safer layouts across Epsom, including homes near Ashley Centre and Epsom Clock Tower. Every design focuses on clear sightlines, secure access points and robust finishes that stand up to daily use. The result is a garden that works for your family, not against it.
Epsom and Ewell Borough is known for large detached houses, period properties and executive homes, often with generous rear gardens and side access. In areas such as Ewell and Epsom Downs, we regularly improve older boundaries, uneven levels and dated patios that can become trip hazards. For KT17, KT18 and KT19 properties, we tailor child-safe features to the style of the home so it looks intentional, not bolted on. You get a safer space that still feels premium.
We start with a site survey and a family-safety checklist, then propose a layout that prioritises safe routes, play zones and secure boundaries. Our team installs secure fencing, non-toxic planting and soft landing surfaces with tidy workmanship and clear communication throughout. We pressure-test gates, latches and fixings before handover, and we’ll talk you through ongoing maintenance. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, high-end finishes and a safety-first mindset.
Epsom gardens often mix lawn, patio and level changes, especially around older homes and extended properties. We plan safer circulation routes, improve lighting and keep play areas visible from kitchens and living spaces. Access and parking can be tight on some residential roads, so we schedule deliveries carefully and keep disruption down. We also consider local expectations on boundary heights and frontages when upgrading fencing and gates.

Costs vary depending on size, levels and which safety elements you need. As a guide, smaller upgrades (gate latches, safer planting, minor surfacing) often start around £1,500–£4,000. Mid-range projects with new fencing, soft surfacing and a defined play zone are commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger redesigns for executive gardens, including pond safety and premium finishes, can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most child-safety upgrades take 2–7 working days, depending on access and the amount of groundwork. A more involved redesign with new fencing, surfacing, planting and play equipment typically takes 2–4 weeks. Timescales are influenced by drainage needs, curing time for bases, and any bespoke joinery or metalwork. We provide a clear programme before starting and keep you updated as work progresses.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fencing within typical height limits, adding gates, updating patios and installing play equipment. However, rules can change for corner plots, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering boundaries facing highways. We’ll check the key constraints for your property in Epsom and Ewell Borough and advise if permissions or party wall considerations are likely before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering issues linked to installation quality such as fixings, alignment and structural integrity of installed elements. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties (for example, certain fencing systems, surfacing products or hardware). We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific design and provide care guidance to help surfaces, gates and planting perform well long-term.
Popular choices include close-board or slatted fencing with secure gates, resin-bound or smooth paving for safer circulation, and rubber mulch or artificial grass for soft landing zones. For pond safety, we can fit rigid grilles, covers or discreet barriers. Planting is selected for low-toxicity, low-thorn varieties with good year-round structure. We’ll recommend options that suit your home’s style, budget and how your children actually use the space.
