With busy streets and canals nearby, families around Paddington Station and Little Venice often want extra reassurance outdoors. We create practical, attractive gardens that reduce everyday risks without turning the space into a fortress. From secure gates to pond safety measures, every detail is planned around how your children actually use the garden. The result is a garden that feels calm, tidy and genuinely family-friendly.
The Paddington area includes stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments, each with different constraints. Courtyard gardens in Bayswater may need clever zoning to keep play visible, while larger plots near Hyde Park often benefit from discreet fencing and safer lawn edges. We’re used to working with shared access, basement lightwells and tight side returns. Designs are tailored so safety upgrades look intentional, not bolted on.
We start with a site survey and a child-safety checklist, then produce a clear plan covering fencing lines, surfaces, planting and equipment placement. You’ll get straightforward options for budgets and finishes, plus a schedule that respects neighbours and building rules. Our team works cleanly, keeps access secure during the build, and tests gates, latches and fixings before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship and a premium finish, even on compact sites.
Working in W2 often means restricted parking, timed deliveries and careful waste removal, especially near Paddington Basin. We plan logistics in advance and keep materials tidy to protect communal areas and shared entrances. Many properties have raised terraces, steps and basement levels, so we design safer transitions with handrails, lighting and non-slip surfaces. For child safe gardens in City of Westminster, we also factor in boundary responsibilities and conservation-area sensitivities where relevant.

Costs vary with size, access and how many safety features you need. For smaller W2 courtyards, allow roughly £2,500–£7,500 for upgrades such as secure gates, safer planting and soft surfacing. Medium gardens with new fencing, edging changes and play-zone surfacing often fall around £8,000–£20,000. Larger redesigns with drainage, lighting and bespoke joinery can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days for targeted improvements such as secure fencing, rounded edging and safer surfaces. A more involved redesign with new layouts, planting, lighting and pond safety can take 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common in mansion flats), curing times for concrete or resin surfaces, and lead times for bespoke gates or equipment. We provide a phased plan to keep areas usable.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfacing, or installing most play equipment. However, rules can change for front boundaries, fence heights, listed buildings and conservation areas in the City of Westminster. If you’re near shared boundaries or altering levels, extra checks may be needed. We review your site, advise on likely constraints, and can help with drawings or applications if required.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering issues arising from installation faults on items such as fencing, gates, edging, paving and built features. Manufacturer warranties also apply to selected products like gate hardware, surfaces and play equipment. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse or normal wear, but we’ll always advise on maintenance to keep the garden safe and looking sharp.
We tailor designs to your space and style, from traditional stucco townhouse gardens to modern apartment terraces. Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with concealed fixings, self-closing gates, non-toxic planting palettes, rubber mulch or wet-pour safety surfacing, and composite decking with anti-slip finishes. For water features, we can fit rigid grilles, covers or discreet barriers. We’ll guide you through samples, durability and cleaning needs.
