Putney families love outdoor space, whether you’re near Putney Bridge or walking the River Thames towpath at weekends. Our child safety garden upgrades reduce everyday risks without making the garden feel clinical. We focus on safe boundaries, smarter layouts and child-friendly materials that still suit a premium finish. The result is a garden that works for play, entertaining and quiet time alike.
Across SW15 you’ll find Victorian and Edwardian houses with long, narrow gardens, plus riverside apartments with terraces that need careful detailing. In West Putney and East Putney, we often improve visibility from kitchen and living spaces so children can be supervised easily. On larger plots around Putney Heath and Roehampton, we create defined zones to keep play areas separate from planting, tools and storage. Every design is tailored to the property’s proportions and how your family uses the space.
We start with a safety-led survey, then produce a clear plan covering fencing, gates, surfaces, planting and any water features. Installation is managed end-to-end, with tidy working practices and practical handover guidance for ongoing safety. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, so we can respond quickly for follow-ups and seasonal adjustments. Homeowners choose us for thoughtful detailing, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Putney gardens can have tight side access and limited parking, especially near Putney High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for sloping sections and exposed spots around Putney Heath where surfacing and fixings need extra attention. Where boundaries adjoin neighbours, we use robust, tidy fence lines and discreet gate hardware. If any elements may affect boundaries or visibility, we help you check requirements in the London Borough of Wandsworth.

Costs depend on garden size and what needs upgrading. As a guide, targeted safety improvements (gate locks, edging, small surfacing areas) often start from £1,500–£4,000. A more complete child-safety redesign with new fencing, soft surfaces and play-zone layout is commonly £6,000–£18,000+. Larger gardens or pond safety plus premium materials can exceed this. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on access, groundworks and how many features are included. Simple upgrades like gate changes, rounded edging and planting swaps can be completed in 1–3 days. Full installations with new fencing, surfacing and equipment bases may take 2–3 weeks. Weather, curing times for concrete, and delivery lead times for bespoke gates or fencing can affect the schedule.
Many child-safety garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfacing, or installing most fences and gates within typical height limits. However, rules can change for front boundaries, corner plots, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. We’ll flag anything that may need checks and can advise on practical options that stay compliant. If permission is required, we’ll help you prepare the right information before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installed landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and hard landscaping (subject to normal use and maintenance). This covers defects caused by installation or materials we supply, including fixings and structural integrity where applicable. We also provide care guidance for surfaces and planting to keep the garden safe over time. Manufacturer warranties on specific products are passed on in addition.
Popular options include closeboard or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hinges, and lockable latches. For soft landings, we can install wetpour rubber, artificial grass with shockpad, or bark in contained play zones. Pond safety can include rigid covers, raised edges, or discreet barrier fencing. We’ll recommend non-toxic, low-thorn planting and rounded edging in timber, stone or composite to suit your home’s style and budget.
