Sanderstead’s affluent residential streets feature large detached houses, executive homes and characterful period properties, often with generous rear gardens. These plots can include level changes, mature planting and older boundary lines that need upgrading. Our team plans child safety improvements that respect the look of premium homes while improving practical details like gates, edges and sightlines. If you’re also considering updates in Purley, Selsdon or Hamsey Green, we can match materials and finishes across properties.
We start with a safety-first survey, identifying hazards such as unsecured ponds, sharp edging, trip points and weak boundaries. You’ll receive a clear design plan and specification, with safe equipment placement and durable materials chosen for long-term use. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury and typically reaches Sanderstead in around 20 minutes, so support and aftercare are close by. Homeowners trust us for tidy workmanship, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often combine clay-heavy soil with sloped plots, which affects drainage and surface choices. We specify stable sub-bases for safer surfacing and manage water run-off so play areas stay usable. Access can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan deliveries and parking to minimise disruption. Our approach suits the larger footprints common in Sanderstead, with clear sightlines from kitchens and patios for supervision.

Costs vary depending on boundaries, surfacing and how much redesign is needed. As a guide, small safety upgrades (gate latches, edging changes, minor planting swaps) often start around £800–£2,500. Mid-range projects with new fencing, safer surfacing and play-zone layout typically fall between £4,000–£12,000. Larger gardens with premium fencing, drainage work, pond safety and full landscaping can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days once materials are scheduled, but timescales depend on scope. Simple upgrades such as secure gates, rounded edging and planting changes can be completed in 1–3 days. Installing new fencing, soft landing surfaces and regrading for safer levels usually takes 1–2 weeks. Weather, access for machinery, curing times for concrete bases, and bespoke joinery can extend the programme.
Most child-safety landscaping is permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding safer surfacing, or installing play equipment. However, rules can apply to fence heights (especially front boundaries), works near highways, and properties with restrictions or in sensitive designations. We’ll advise on what’s likely to be permitted in the child safe gardens in London Borough of Croydon context and can help you check any constraints before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installations, covering workmanship on key elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and hard landscaping structures installed by our team.

The warranty does not cover misuse, accidental damage, or normal wear and tear, but we’re always available to inspect issues and recommend practical fixes or maintenance.
