Families around Wallington Square and SM6 often want a garden that feels relaxed, not restrictive. We design child-safe layouts with secure fencing, lockable gates and clear sightlines to play areas. From pond safety to soft landing surfaces, every element is planned to reduce risk without losing style. The result is a garden that works for everyday use, parties and after-school play.
Wallington’s mix of 1930s semis, Victorian terraces and newer developments means gardens vary widely in depth, levels and access. In Beddington and Hackbridge, we regularly see long lawns, raised patios and older boundary fences that need upgrading. We also adapt designs for compact courtyards and modern plots where space is tight. Our recommendations balance safety, durability and a premium finish that suits the property.
We start with a site survey, then propose a practical safety plan covering boundaries, surfaces, planting and equipment. You’ll get clear options, transparent costs and a tidy, well-managed installation. We use proven fixings, child-friendly materials and non-toxic planting choices where needed. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, careful detailing and a finish that lasts.
Across the London Borough of Sutton, we often deal with narrow side access and shared driveways, especially near Wallington station. We plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption to neighbours. Many Wallington gardens sit on mixed clay soils, so we specify stable bases and good drainage beneath play surfaces. If boundaries or frontages are sensitive, we’ll advise on suitable heights and finishes before work starts.

Costs depend on the size of the garden and which safety upgrades you choose. As a guide, small improvements (gate locks, rounded edging, minor planting changes) often start from £750–£2,000. A mid-sized upgrade with new fencing and a soft play surface is commonly £3,500–£8,500. Full redesigns including drainage, paving, equipment bases and pond safety can range from £9,000–£25,000+.
Timescales vary with access, weather and the scope of work. Small safety upgrades can be completed in 1–3 days. Installing new fencing, gates and a soft landing surface typically takes 1–2 weeks. A full garden redesign with groundwork, drainage, paving, planting and play equipment bases usually takes 3–6 weeks. We provide a realistic programme and keep you updated throughout.
Most child-safety garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fences, adding gates, laying surfaces and general landscaping. However, rules can apply to fence heights (especially at the front), listed buildings, conservation considerations, or if you’re altering levels and drainage significantly. We’ll flag any likely constraints early and help you check requirements with the London Borough of Sutton before work begins.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on installation, covering issues caused by defective workmanship on items we install such as fencing, edging, paving bases and fixings. Materials are supplied with relevant manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or normal wear and tear, but we’re always happy to advise on maintenance to keep surfaces and boundaries performing well.
We tailor designs to how your family uses the space. Popular options include close-board or slatted fencing with secure gates, resin-bound or rubberised play surfaces, rounded timber or stone edging, and non-toxic planting schemes with robust evergreens. For pond safety, we can add rigid covers, raised edges or discreet barriers. We’ll recommend choices based on your layout, budget and maintenance preferences, including child safe gardens wallington area solutions.
