Soho gardens often need safety upgrades that suit compact layouts and busy surroundings. We design child-friendly spaces with secure fencing, safe equipment and visible play areas, ideal for homes near Soho Square and Carnaby Street. From gate latches to pond safety, every detail is planned to reduce risk. The result is a garden that feels calm, practical and easy to supervise.
In the Soho area, outdoor spaces range from Georgian townhouse courtyards to mansion-flat terraces and commercial conversions with roof gardens. These settings call for smart solutions such as slimline secure gates, rounded edging and durable surfaces that won’t dominate the space. We also consider privacy and noise, especially close to Leicester Square or Fitzrovia. Our designs balance child safety with the clean, architectural look many W1 properties favour.
We start with a safety audit, then produce a clear plan covering access points, fall zones and planting choices. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and careful material handling for shared entrances. Homeowners trust us because we document specifications, use proven fixings and check every latch, edge and surface on completion. You’ll get straightforward aftercare advice and a 10-year warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Soho sites can be tight for access, with shared hallways, basement levels and limited storage. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit City of Westminster expectations and local parking constraints. Many W1 gardens sit between tall buildings, so we select shade-tolerant, non-toxic planting and materials that cope with lower light. Where boundaries adjoin neighbours, we prioritise discreet secure fencing and compliant gate hardware.

Budgets in Soho vary with access, size and how many hazards need addressing. As a guide, a focused safety upgrade (gate hardware, edging, planting swaps and small surface changes) often starts around £1,500–£4,000. A fuller redesign with secure fencing, new surfacing and play-zone construction is commonly £6,000–£20,000+. Roof terraces and complex access in W1 can increase labour and logistics costs.
Small safety improvements can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on materials and access. Most mid-sized projects in the child safe gardens Soho area take 1–3 weeks, especially if fencing, surfacing and planting are all included. Bespoke carpentry, drainage changes, or roof-terrace work can extend timelines. We confirm a schedule after the site survey and factor in lead times for gates, fencing panels and specialist surfaces.
Most child-safety garden works are permitted development, such as replacing planting, adding soft surfaces, or installing standard fencing and gates within height limits. However, City of Westminster rules can be stricter for listed buildings, conservation areas, front boundaries, or roof terraces. We check constraints during the survey and can advise on likely permissions. If approvals are needed, we’ll help prepare the information your application requires.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as fencing, gates, edging, and constructed play areas. This covers issues caused by installation faults, including fixings, alignment and structural stability, subject to normal use and routine maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like artificial grass, safety surfacing or play equipment. We also offer practical aftercare guidance to keep everything performing well.
Options include secure timber or composite fencing, self-closing hinges and child-safe latches, and slip-resistant paving with rounded edging. For soft landing surfaces, many families choose bonded rubber mulch, wetpour, or high-quality artificial grass with shockpad. Pond safety can be handled with rigid grilles, secure covers, or redesigning to a safer water feature. We’ll recommend choices based on your layout, style preferences and how your children use the space.
