Families around New Malden High Street and Manor Park often want a garden that feels open, yet properly protected. Our child-safety focused landscaping reduces common hazards while keeping the space stylish and practical. From secure fencing to safer planting, we plan every detail around how your children actually use the garden. We can also improve visibility from the house so play is easier to supervise.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments means garden layouts vary widely. Side access can be tight, and many plots have long, narrow lawns that need clear zones for play and planting. We design to suit families in KT3, whether you need safer boundaries for a corner plot or a compact, low-maintenance courtyard. The result is a garden that works for everyday routines and weekend fun.
We start with a safety-led survey, then produce a clear plan covering fencing, gates, surfaces, pond safety and equipment placement. You’ll get straightforward options, transparent costs and a schedule that respects school runs and neighbours. Our team works cleanly, protects existing finishes, and hands over with practical maintenance advice. Homeowners choose us for consistent craftsmanship and a finish that stays safe as children grow.
We’re used to working in New Malden and nearby Raynes Park, where access can be limited and parking needs planning. We factor in typical 1930s boundaries, shared driveways and existing brickwork so new fencing and gates look intentional. Drainage and levels are checked before installing soft surfaces or play zones to prevent pooling and slips. Where needed, we align work with local expectations and practical constraints in the borough.

Costs vary with garden size and what needs upgrading. As a guide, small safety improvements (gate locks, rounded edging, minor planting swaps) often start around £800–£2,500. Mid-range projects with new secure fencing, soft landing surfaces and redesigned beds commonly fall between £4,000–£12,000. Larger gardens needing full re-landscaping, drainage, lighting, and pond safety measures can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 2–10 working days once materials are confirmed. Quick upgrades such as safer planting, edging changes and gate hardware can be completed in 1–3 days. Installing new fencing, gates and soft surfacing typically takes 4–8 days. Full garden redesigns can run 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, ground conditions, curing times for bases, and bespoke joinery lead times.
Many garden safety upgrades are permitted development, including most planting changes, play surfacing and like-for-like fencing. Planning can apply for taller front boundary fences, listed buildings, conservation considerations, or works affecting public-facing boundaries. If you’re adding lighting, significant structures, or changing levels near boundaries, extra checks may be needed. We review your site, advise on likely requirements, and can help you prepare information if the council needs it.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and hard landscaping associated with the safety design. This covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage, misuse, or normal wear and tear. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like gate hardware, artificial grass, or specialist surfacing. We also explain maintenance steps to keep surfaces safe and fixings secure.
We tailor designs to your family and the space. Popular options include closeboard or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hinges and key-lock latches, and soft landing surfaces such as rubber mulch, wetpour, or quality artificial grass with shockpad. For ponds, we can add rigid grilles, secure covers, or redesign into a safer wildlife feature. We’ll guide you through options based on age, budget and maintenance preferences.
