Families around W12 want gardens that feel relaxing while staying robust for play. From homes near Shepherd's Bush Green to streets by Westfield London, we create outdoor spaces where hazards are designed out from day one. Expect secure fencing, safe gates and visible play areas that work with your layout. The result is a garden that looks premium and performs safely in real use.
Shepherd's Bush has a mix of Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and modern apartments, often with compact rear gardens or shared access. We regularly adapt child-safety features to narrow side returns, split-level patios and balconies that need extra guarding. Where space is tight, we plan clear zones for play, planting and dining so everything has a purpose. Materials and details are chosen to suit busy households and London weather.
We start with a site survey to identify risks such as drops, slippery routes, ponds and pinch points. Then we propose a child-first layout including rounded edges, soft landing surfaces and non-toxic planting, with options to upgrade as children grow. Work is scheduled to minimise disruption, and we keep the site tidy and secure throughout. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, careful workmanship and dependable aftercare.
Across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, gardens often sit behind terraced homes with limited access and tight parking. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit residential streets near White City and Hammersmith. Drainage and levels are checked carefully so surfaces stay slip-resistant and puddle-free. Our designs also account for overlooking windows, keeping play areas visible from kitchens and living rooms.

Costs depend on size, access and how many safety upgrades you need. As a guide, targeted improvements (gates, fencing repairs, rounded edging, safer planting) often start from £1,500–£4,000. A fuller redesign with soft surfacing, new fencing, lighting and pond safety typically ranges £6,000–£20,000+. We’ll survey your garden and provide a detailed, itemised quote.
Small safety upgrades can be completed in 1–3 days, especially if we’re fitting gates, adjusting levels or swapping hazardous plants. Most mid-sized garden makeovers take 1–3 weeks. Larger projects with new patios, drainage, fencing lines and bespoke play areas can run 4–8 weeks. Timescales vary with access, curing time for surfaces, and whether utilities or tree work are involved.
Most child-safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfacing, or installing standard fencing and gates within typical height limits. However, rules can change for front boundaries, corner plots, listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering levels significantly. We’ll flag any likely constraints and can help you check requirements with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for eligible installations, covering issues arising from installation defects on items such as fencing, gates, edging, and hard landscaping. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like composite boards, artificial grass, or play equipment, and we’ll pass those details on clearly. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or general wear, but we’re always available for maintenance support.
Popular choices include secure timber or composite fencing, self-closing gate hardware, rubber mulch or wet-pour surfaces, and child-friendly planting schemes using non-toxic varieties. For water features, we can install rigid pond grilles, lockable covers, or redesign into a raised, safer feature. We also specify rounded edging in stone, resin or timber, plus safe equipment with compliant fixings. We’ll recommend options based on your space, budget and how your children play.
