Families around Tulse Hill station and Brockwell Park often want a garden that feels open yet properly secure. Our child safety designs reduce everyday risks without turning your outdoor space into a fortress. From secure fencing and gates to soft landing surfaces, we tailor each element to how your children actually use the garden. Every plan is designed for SW2 homes and busy family routines.
Tulse Hill’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates means gardens vary hugely in size, levels and access. We regularly work on long, narrow plots behind terraces as well as larger side-return gardens and communal-style spaces. We consider sightlines from kitchen and living areas so play stays visible. If you’re near Brixton, Herne Hill or West Norwood, we’ll design to suit your property’s layout and boundaries.
We start with a safety audit, then propose a clear, itemised design that covers fencing, planting, surfaces and equipment placement. Installation is managed end-to-end, with tidy working practices and child-safe site habits throughout. You’ll get practical guidance on maintenance and seasonal checks, plus a 10-year workmanship warranty. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication and build quality that lasts.
Many SW2 gardens have tight side access, shared alleyways and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We’re used to Lambeth boundary quirks, party fences and mixed-height retaining edges in older plots. Drainage and compacted ground are common in post-war estates, so we specify the right sub-bases for safer surfacing. This local approach helps child safe gardens tulse hill area stay robust and low-maintenance.

Costs depend on size, levels and what needs upgrading. For many SW2 gardens, a focused safety refresh (gates, small fencing runs, planting swaps and minor surfacing) is often £2,000–£6,000. A more complete redesign with new fencing, soft landing surfaces, lighting and play-area build-outs typically ranges from £8,000–£25,000+. We’ll provide an itemised estimate after a site visit.
A small package of works can take 2–5 days, especially if it’s mainly gates, fencing repairs and planting changes. Larger projects with excavation, surfacing, drainage and new play equipment usually run 2–6 weeks. Timescales vary with access (common behind terraces), curing times for bases, and lead times for bespoke fencing or gates. We confirm a programme before starting.
Most garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fences, adding gates, changing planting and installing play equipment. However, rules can apply to fence heights fronting a highway, listed buildings, conservation areas, and works affecting shared boundaries. For pond alterations or significant level changes, extra checks may be sensible. We review the specifics for your property and advise before work begins on child safe gardens in London Borough of Lambeth.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our installation, covering issues caused by our construction or fitting methods. This includes items like fencing and gate installation, edging, surfacing build-ups and fixings for safety features. Materials (such as composite boards, hardware and play equipment) are also covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. We’ll explain what’s included and how to maintain it for long-term performance.
Popular options include closeboard or slatted fencing with child-safe gaps, self-closing gate hardware, and soft surfaces such as rubber mulch, wetpour, artificial grass or bark in contained zones. For pond safety we can fit rigid grilles, secure covers or redesign to a safer water feature. We’ll help you choose finishes that suit your home’s style, budget and maintenance preferences while keeping play areas visible.
