Response within 24 hours
Families around Hayes Common and Hayes station want gardens that feel open, yet stay secure. We design child-focused layouts that reduce hazards without turning the space into a fortress. From safer pond detailing to soft landing zones under play equipment, every element is planned with daily use in mind. If you’re in BR2, we’ll tailor the scheme to your plot, access and lifestyle.
Hayes (Bromley) has a semi-rural feel, with large commons nearby and plenty of period cottages, 1930s properties and larger detached homes. These gardens often include mature shrubs, uneven levels and older boundaries that need upgrading. We improve visibility for supervising adults, reduce trip points and make play areas work with the character of the property. The result suits both traditional and modern family routines.
We start with a site survey, then produce a clear plan covering secure fencing, gates, surfaces and planting choices. You’ll get straightforward options for materials and a tidy, scheduled installation with minimal disruption. Our team is based just 25 minutes away, so aftercare and snagging are quick and reliable. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, clear communication and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley often combine mature planting with older fencing lines and mixed ground levels. Around West Common and BR2 streets, access can be tight for materials, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for drainage and shaded areas near established trees when specifying soft surfaces and planting. If any boundary heights or front-garden changes raise questions, we’ll guide you through the local rules.

Costs vary with garden size and what needs upgrading. As a guide, safety-focused improvements such as gate hardware, small fencing runs, rounded edging and safer planting can start from £1,500–£4,000. A more complete redesign with secure fencing, soft landing surfaces and a reworked pond area often ranges from £6,000–£18,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Smaller upgrades can be completed in 1–3 days, especially if it’s mainly gates, fencing repairs and minor surfacing. A typical family-garden refit with new fencing, play-area surfacing and planting usually takes 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, ground preparation, drainage needs, curing times for bases, and whether you’re keeping or removing existing features like ponds or raised beds.
Most garden safety works are permitted development, such as replacing fences, adding gates, installing play surfaces and changing planting. However, rules can apply to fence heights, front boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or works close to highways. If you’re altering levels or adding structures, there may be extra considerations. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Bromley.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, sub-bases and constructed features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like artificial grass, play surfaces or gate hardware, and we’ll pass these on in writing. We also offer a practical snagging visit after completion to ensure everything performs as intended.
Popular options include closeboard or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate systems, rubber mulch or wetpour for soft landings, and smooth resin-bound or paving for trip-resistant paths. For pond safety, we can add rigid covers, discreet barriers or redesign into a safer water feature. Planting can be refreshed with non-toxic, low-thorn choices. We’ll recommend options that suit your budget, style and maintenance preferences.
