Families around Warlingham Green and Hamsey Green want gardens that look beautiful while reducing everyday risks. We create practical layouts with visible play areas, secure gates, and safer boundaries that suit how your children actually use the space. From pond safety to rounded edges on raised beds, every detail is planned to prevent bumps, slips, and escapes. If you’re in CR6, we’ll tailor the design to your plot and lifestyle.
Warlingham’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses, and country homes often comes with mature planting, level changes, and older garden structures. We upgrade these spaces with non-toxic planting choices, safer steps, and durable surfaces that cope with year-round use. For properties near Warlingham Park School or along quieter lanes, we can also improve privacy without creating hidden corners. The result is a garden that feels open, supervised, and family-friendly.
Our process starts with a site survey and a child-safety checklist, then we produce a clear plan covering fencing, gates, surfaces, and equipment placement. We use tested materials, fitings, and fixings, and we keep the site tidy and secure throughout the build. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for consistent communication, careful workmanship, and practical solutions that last. Many clients recommend us for child safe gardens Warlingham area because we balance safety with premium finish.

Costs vary with garden size and what needs upgrading. As a guide, smaller safety refreshes (gate locks, minor fencing repairs, rounded edging, safer planting) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A mid-size redesign with new secure fencing, soft surfacing, and improved sightlines is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger gardens needing drainage, terracing, premium materials, and full play-zone builds can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. A straightforward install such as a new gate, fence run, and a small soft-surface area may be completed in a few days. Full garden redesigns with level changes, drainage, lighting, and multiple zones typically take 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for bases, and lead times for bespoke gates or equipment.
Many garden safety improvements are permitted development, such as replacing fencing, adding gates, installing play equipment, and updating surfaces. However, rules can apply to fence heights near highways, listed buildings, conservation considerations, and boundary changes. If you’re close to public footpaths or have unusual site constraints, extra checks may be needed. We review the proposal, flag any likely permissions, and can help you prepare details for Tandridge District requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as structural movement in edging, fixings, and installation-related failures under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like artificial grass, play equipment, and gate hardware, and we’ll pass those details on clearly. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, storm damage, or alterations by others, but we’re always happy to inspect and advise.
We offer a wide range of safe, premium options: close-board or slatted fencing with child-safe spacing, self-closing gate hinges and locks, rubber mulch or wet-pour surfaces, and smooth porcelain or resin-bound paths with slip resistance. For pond safety, we can install rigid grilles, secure covers, or redesign into a safer water feature. We’ll recommend non-toxic planting choices and position play areas for clear visibility from key rooms.
