From after-school kickabouts to weekend playdates, a garden should feel relaxing for parents and fun for children. We create safer outdoor spaces across CR4, including around Mitcham Cricket Green and Figges Marsh. Our designs reduce common hazards without making the garden feel fenced-in or clinical. The result is a smart, family-ready space that still suits the character of your home.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means every garden comes with different constraints. Narrow side access, sloping lawns and older boundary walls are common, especially near Mitcham Common and Pollards Hill. We tailor safety upgrades to your layout, keeping sightlines clear and play areas visible from the kitchen or patio. Where space is tight, we use clever zoning so children have room to play without compromising planting or entertaining areas.
We start with a safety survey, then produce a practical plan covering fencing, gates, surfaces, planting and any water features. You’ll get clear options, transparent costs and a tidy, well-managed installation from a local team based just 10 minutes away. We use proven, child-friendly materials and fitments, and we test gates, latches and edges before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for meticulous workmanship and a finish that looks premium, not improvised.
We’re used to the London Borough of Merton’s mix of compact plots and shared boundaries, where fence lines and access need careful coordination. Around Mitcham Junction station, parking and deliveries can be time-sensitive, so we plan drop-offs and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for common clay-heavy ground conditions that affect posts, footings and drainage beneath soft surfaces. If you’re in the child safe gardens mitcham area, we’ll recommend solutions that suit your street and property style.

Costs depend on size, existing hazards and the level of upgrades required. As a guide, targeted safety improvements (gate upgrades, edge treatments, small soft-surface zone) often start around £1,200–£3,000. A more complete redesign with secure fencing, new surfacing, planting changes and pond safety commonly falls between £4,000–£12,000+. We’ll survey your garden in CR4 and provide itemised options to match your priorities.
Most projects take 2–7 working days, depending on access, weather and what’s being installed. Simple upgrades like fitting secure gates, adding rounded edging and creating a small soft landing area can be completed in 1–3 days. Larger schemes involving new fencing runs, drainage, resurfacing and play equipment foundations typically take 1–3 weeks. Lead times for bespoke gates or specialist surfacing can also extend the schedule.
Many garden safety upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing fencing, adding gates, laying certain surfaces and updating planting. However, rules can apply to fence heights near highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, and works affecting drainage or protected trees. If your home is near Mitcham Cricket Green or other sensitive areas, we’ll flag any extra considerations. We check constraints and advise what approvals, if any, are sensible before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging and hard landscaping, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many materials and fittings, and we’ll pass those details to you on completion. The warranty covers issues arising from installation defects, such as movement due to incorrect fixing. It doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or extreme weather events.
We tailor the specification to your family and garden layout. Popular choices include closeboard or slatted fencing with secure latches, self-closing gate hinges, rubber mulch or wetpour for soft landing areas, and composite or timber edging with rounded profiles. For pond safety, we can install rigid grilles, secure covers, or discreet barriers. We’ll recommend non-toxic, low-thorn planting and create clear sightlines so play areas stay visible from the house.
