From school runs to weekend play, Sutton gardens need to work hard for families. We design and build safer outdoor spaces with secure fencing, lockable gates and visible play areas so you can supervise easily. Whether you’re near Sutton High Street or walking distance from Manor Park, we tailor every detail to your home and routine. The result is a garden that feels welcoming, tidy and genuinely child-friendly.
The Sutton area has a mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments, each with different access, levels and boundary quirks. In Cheam and Carshalton we often upgrade older fencing lines and uneven patios to remove trip hazards. For modern plots around SM1–SM3, we focus on clever zoning so play stays away from steps, ponds and planting beds. Every plan balances safety, durability and a premium finish.
We start with a site survey and a child-safety risk check, then produce a clear design with materials and options you can compare. Our builds prioritise rounded edges, non-toxic planting choices and soft landing surfaces under equipment. We keep the site organised, communicate daily, and hand over with simple maintenance guidance. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Sutton we regularly work with narrow side access, shared drives and on-street parking, so deliveries and waste removal are planned in advance. We also account for mixed ground conditions, from compacted lawns to older patio bases that need rebuilding. If your home is near the St Nicholas Centre or in Rosehill, we’ll design layouts that improve sightlines and keep play areas visible from key rooms. Our approach suits Sutton’s family-focused streets and school-run routines.

Costs vary with size, access and how many safety features you need. As a guide, small upgrades such as gate locks, safer edging and planting changes often start around £1,500–£4,000. A more comprehensive child-safe redesign with new fencing, surfacing and play-zone layout is commonly £6,000–£18,000+. Larger gardens or premium materials can exceed this. We provide an itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on the scope. Simple safety upgrades (gate hardware, minor fencing repairs, edging changes) can be completed in 1–3 days. Full builds with new fencing, soft landing surfaces and equipment installation typically take 1–3 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, ground preparation, drainage, curing time for bases, and lead times for bespoke gates or fencing panels.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fences, adding gates, resurfacing and most play equipment. However, rules can change if you’re increasing fence height near a highway, altering boundaries, or your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and can help you check London Borough of Sutton guidance before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as fencing installation, edging, paving bases and fixed safety features. This covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage, misuse or normal wear. Manufacturer warranties apply to products like gates, fixings, artificial grass and play equipment where relevant. We also complete a practical handover so you know how to maintain surfaces and fittings.
We tailor options to your family and garden style. Popular choices include closeboard or slatted fencing with secure, self-closing gates; rubber mulch or wet-pour surfaces for soft landings; composite or timber edging with rounded profiles; and pond safety grilles or rigid covers. For planting, we specify non-toxic, low-thorn varieties and avoid irritant species. We’ll show samples and recommend combinations that suit your budget and maintenance preferences.
