Families in CR7 want gardens that feel relaxing, not risky. Our designs prioritise secure fencing, visible play areas and safe equipment so children can explore freely. Whether you’re near Thornton Heath station or walking distance to Grangewood Park, we tailor each garden to the way your household uses the space. The result is a garden that looks premium while reducing everyday hazards.
Thornton Heath’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often come with long, narrow plots and shared boundaries. We’re used to improving safety without making gardens feel boxed-in, using smart zoning and planting choices. For homes in Broad Green, Selhurst and South Norwood, we regularly upgrade tired lawns and patios into safer family spaces. We also consider overlooked gardens and neighbouring sightlines to keep play areas clearly visible.
We start with a site survey, risk check and a practical design plan you can approve before work begins. Every build focuses on details that matter: rounded edges, anti-slip finishes, secure gates and pond safety solutions. We keep the site tidy, communicate clearly, and finish with a walkthrough so you know how to maintain the space. Local homeowners choose us because we’re nearby (five minutes away) and we stand behind our workmanship.
We understand the London Borough of Croydon’s mix of period gardens, tight side access and shared alleyways behind terraces. In Thornton Heath, parking and delivery timing can affect scheduling, so we plan logistics to minimise disruption. We also account for drainage and worn lawns common on well-used family plots, specifying permeable bases and durable finishes. If you’re near Thornton Heath Pond or Grangewood Park, we’ll design for year-round use and easy maintenance.

Costs vary with garden size, access and what needs upgrading. As a guide, small safety improvements (gate latches, edging changes, non-toxic planting) often start around £800–£2,500. Mid-size makeovers with soft surfacing and new fencing commonly fall between £4,000–£12,000. Full redesigns including patio works, drainage, lighting and play-zone builds can be £12,000–£30,000+. We’ll provide a detailed, itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. A straightforward fencing and gate upgrade can be completed in 2–5 days, while adding soft landing surfaces, new paths and planting typically takes 1–2 weeks. Full garden renovations with groundwork, drainage and patio construction may take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, weather, curing time for concrete and the lead time for bespoke gates or equipment.
Many garden safety upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing fencing (within height limits), installing gates, laying patios and adding play equipment. However, rules can change for front gardens, corner plots, listed buildings and homes in conservation areas, and there may be restrictions on fence heights next to highways. We check the relevant guidance for the London Borough of Croydon and flag anything that may need permission before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving, edging, fencing structures and built features, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable, and we’ll explain what’s included for your chosen products. If an issue arises from installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right. Clear aftercare guidance is provided at handover.
We tailor materials to your layout, budget and the ages of your children. Popular choices include composite or timber fencing with child-proof latches, rubber mulch or wetpour for soft landing areas, and slip-resistant porcelain or textured sandstone for patios. For pond safety, we can add rigid grilles, covers or redesign into a safer water feature. We’ll propose options that suit your home’s style and explain maintenance, durability and safety trade-offs.
