Families around Streatham Common and Streatham Hill want gardens that are beautiful, practical and genuinely safe. We design child-safe layouts that keep play areas visible from the house and remove common hazards. From secure fencing and gates to soft landing surfaces, every detail is planned for everyday use. If you’re in SW16 or SW2, we can tailor the space to your garden’s shape and lifestyle.
Streatham’s Victorian and Edwardian houses often come with long, narrow plots, side returns and level changes that need careful planning. Mansion flats and modern apartments may have compact patios where safety and storage must work harder. We’re used to creating safe zones without making the garden feel boxed-in. Our designs suit period features while adding modern, family-friendly function.
We start with a site visit to assess risks, sightlines and how your family uses the space. You’ll receive a clear plan covering secure boundaries, pond safety options and child-appropriate materials, with tidy workmanship throughout. We source non-toxic planting and specify safe equipment with proper fixings. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth, we plan around Streatham’s mixed property styles and typical access constraints. Many homes near Streatham High Road have limited parking and narrow side passages, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary between compacted lawns and older garden fill, so we prepare sub-bases properly for stable, safe surfaces. We also factor in boundary lines and neighbour considerations before installing fencing or gates.

Costs vary with garden size and the safety features you choose. As a guide, a small safety refresh (gate latches, rounded edging, minor surfacing) often starts around £1,500–£3,500. A mid-size redesign with secure fencing, soft landing areas and new planting is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger projects with drainage, premium paving, bespoke fencing and pond alterations can be £18,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are booked in. Smaller upgrades can be completed in 2–5 days, while full redesigns with fencing, surfacing and planting typically take 10–15 working days. Timescales depend on access, ground preparation, curing time for concrete or resin systems, and whether pond works or new play equipment bases are required. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding planting, and installing most play equipment. Fences, walls and gates can be subject to height limits, and rules may differ on boundaries facing highways. If your home is in a conservation area or the work affects drainage or a listed feature, additional checks may be needed. We review your site and advise what approvals, if any, apply.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as paving, edging, fencing installation and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like gates, fixings, membranes and play equipment components. The warranty covers defects arising from installation rather than accidental damage or misuse. We’ll explain care requirements and provide aftercare guidance to keep everything performing safely.
We can combine safe, premium materials with a family-friendly layout. Popular choices include composite or timber fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hardware, rubber mulch or wetpour under play areas, and smooth porcelain or sandstone with rounded edging. For pond safety, we can add rigid grilles, secure covers, or redesign to a rill or wildlife-friendly shallow feature. We’ll help you choose options that suit your home, budget and maintenance preferences.
