Twickenham families want gardens that work for real life: bikes, ball games and muddy boots included. We design safety into every detail, from secure fencing to soft landing zones and clear sightlines to play areas. Whether you’re near Twickenham Stadium or walking distance from Marble Hill Park, we’ll tailor the space to your children’s ages and routines. The result is a garden that feels open and welcoming, not boxed-in or over-engineered.
Many homes across TW1 and TW2 have long rear gardens, side returns, or stepped patio levels that need careful planning for little ones. We regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes, where original brickwork, raised beds and older paving can create trip points. Our solutions keep the character while reducing hazards with rounded edges, safer surfaces and well-placed barriers. If you’re in St Margarets, Whitton or nearby Richmond, we’ll match materials to the style of your property.
We start with a site survey to identify risks: gaps under fences, slippery paving, unprotected water features and blind spots from kitchens or living rooms. You’ll receive a clear design plan, specification and schedule, with options for upgrades such as secure gates and safer play equipment. We use durable, family-friendly materials and non-toxic planting choices, and we keep the site tidy and controlled during the build. Homeowners choose us for dependable communication, careful workmanship and a finish that stays safe as children grow.
Gardens in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames often combine clay-heavy soils with mature trees, which affects drainage and root protection. Access can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where properties back onto neighbouring gardens, we prioritise privacy without creating hidden corners, keeping play areas visible from the house. This practical approach is why families ask for child safe gardens Twickenham area solutions that last.

Costs vary by size and the level of safety work required. As a guide, smaller upgrades such as gate latches, fence infills and safer planting can start from £800–£2,500. A more complete package with secure fencing, soft surfacing and redesigned levels is often £4,000–£12,000+. Larger gardens or premium materials, pond protection and bespoke joinery can take budgets beyond this. We provide an itemised quote after a survey.
Most projects take 2–10 working days once materials are confirmed. Quick safety improvements (gate hardware, fence repairs, rounding edges) can be completed in 1–3 days. A full redesign with new surfaces, drainage changes, fencing and play zones typically takes 1–3 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing time for bases, and whether we’re removing old patios, dealing with levels, or protecting tree roots.
Most garden safety work is usually permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding gates, and installing typical boundary fencing. However, rules can apply to fence heights near highways, listed buildings, conservation areas, and work affecting trees with TPOs. We’ll flag any likely constraints during the survey and can advise on what to check with the council. If approvals are needed, we help you prepare the information for a smooth application.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed elements such as fencing, gates, edging, patios and built structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. This covers issues like movement due to poor installation, fixings failing, or joints opening beyond expected tolerances. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products such as play equipment, artificial grass or specialist surfacing. We also offer a post-completion check to ensure everything remains safe and secure.
We tailor designs to your family and property style, from Victorian and Edwardian gardens to 1930s layouts. Popular options include close-board or slatted secure fencing, self-closing gates, rubber mulch or wetpour play surfacing, and composite or smooth sandstone paving with rounded edging. For pond safety we can fit rigid grilles, covers or discreet barriers. We’ll guide you through child safe gardens in Twickenham choices that balance safety, looks and long-term durability.
