Families around the Lee Green crossroads and Manor House Gardens want gardens that feel relaxed, not risky. We design and build safer outdoor spaces with secure fencing, lockable gates and clear sightlines to play areas. From pond safety solutions to soft landing surfaces under climbing frames, every detail is planned to reduce hazards. The result is a garden that works for everyday play, parties and peaceful evenings outside.
Lee Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often comes with long, narrow plots, stepped patios and older boundary lines. We adapt child-safety features to suit these layouts, whether that means discreet fencing upgrades, rounded edge detailing on brickwork, or re-levelling areas for safer running space. For homes near Lee station and SE12 streets with limited access, we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. You get a safer garden without unnecessary disruption.
We start with a site visit and a practical safety audit, then provide a clear design and specification you can trust. Our team installs secure gates, safe equipment bases and non-toxic planting with careful finishing and thorough clean-downs. You’ll receive straightforward maintenance guidance, plus aftercare checks where needed. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we communicate clearly, keep sites orderly, and deliver safety-focused workmanship that lasts.

Costs depend on the size of the garden and which safety upgrades you need. As a guide, small improvements such as gate locks, edge rounding and safer planting may start from £800–£2,500. Mid-range projects with new fencing, soft surfacing and layout changes are often £3,500–£12,000. Larger builds including pond protection, new patios and full play-zone construction can be £12,000–£30,000+.
Timescales vary with access, weather and how much construction is involved. Simple safety upgrades (gate hardware, pond grilles, planting swaps) can take 1–3 days. A more complete redesign with fencing, new surfacing and re-levelling typically takes 1–3 weeks. Larger projects with multiple zones, drainage work and bespoke carpentry may take 3–6 weeks. We confirm a programme before work starts.
Most garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfaces, or installing typical fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for front boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, and taller fences or gates. For child safe gardens in London Borough of Lewisham, we check the key constraints during survey and can advise on what’s likely to need consent. If approvals are required, we help you prepare the details.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, such as patios, paths, edging and constructed bases for safe play areas. This covers issues arising from installation defects, including movement or failure of laid surfaces when used as intended. Materials may also carry manufacturer warranties, which we pass on where applicable. Planting is covered separately with practical aftercare guidance to support establishment.
We tailor designs to your family and the way you use the space. Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing or lockable gates, wet-pour rubber or bonded mulch for soft landings, and slip-resistant porcelain or textured paving. For ponds, we can add rigid grilles, covers or secure barriers. We’ll recommend non-toxic, low-thorn planting and layouts that keep play areas visible from the house.
