Response within 24 hours
Notting Hill’s gardens often combine elegant planting with compact layouts, making safety details essential for young families. We design child-friendly spaces with secure fencing, safe gates and clear sightlines to play areas. Whether you’re near Portobello Road Market or walking distance from Notting Hill Gate, we’ll help you create a garden that works for everyday routines. Expect practical safety upgrades that still suit the area’s iconic colourful character.
From pastel-painted Victorian townhouses to mansion conversions and mews houses, outdoor spaces in Notting Hill can be beautifully finished but tricky to childproof. We regularly work with raised terraces, narrow side returns and stepped levels that need soft landing surfaces and rounded edging. Planting plans focus on non-toxic choices while keeping year-round interest. If you’re in Holland Park, Bayswater or Ladbroke Grove, we’ll match the design to your property’s proportions and access.
We start with a safety-first survey, identifying hazards such as ponds, hard edges and unsecured boundaries. You’ll receive a clear plan covering fencing, gates, surfacing and safe equipment placement, plus a tidy schedule that respects neighbours. Our team installs to a premium finish and tests gates, latches and fixings before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent communication and reliable aftercare.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we plan around tight access, controlled parking and neighbour-sensitive working hours. Notting Hill’s mews lanes and townhouse frontages often require careful material deliveries and discreet waste removal. We also account for level changes, basement lightwells and existing brickwork details common in W11. The result is child safe gardens Notting Hill area homeowners can enjoy without constant worry.

Costs depend on the hazards we’re addressing and the finish you want. For W11 gardens, small safety upgrades (gate latches, rounded edging, minor surfacing) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A more complete redesign with secure fencing, soft landing surfaces, pond protection and new planting typically falls between £6,000–£20,000+. Larger gardens or premium materials can exceed this range after a site survey.
Most projects take 2–10 working days, depending on scope. Quick improvements like fitting secure gates, adding anti-slip steps or installing a small soft-play surface can be completed in 1–3 days. Full child safe gardens in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often take 1–3 weeks when fencing, surfacing, drainage tweaks and planting are included. Access constraints, material lead times and weather can affect timings.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fences (within height limits), adding gates, or laying suitable surfacing. However, rules can change if your home is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering boundary heights facing the highway. We check the relevant guidance for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, flag any risks early, and can help with drawings or applications if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed elements such as fencing, gates, edging and hard landscaping, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to items like play equipment, fixtures and specialist surfacing. We also carry out a practical handover, checking latch alignment, fixings and stability. If something settles or needs adjustment, we respond quickly to put it right.
Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with smooth finishes, self-closing gate hardware, rubber mulch or wet-pour safety surfacing, and composite decking with anti-slip boards. For pond safety, we can install rigid grilles, lockable covers or discreet barriers. Planting is selected from non-toxic varieties suited to light levels and maintenance preferences. We’ll present options that fit your style, budget and the character of Notting Hill homes.
