Families around West Wickham High Street and Coney Hall often want a garden that looks smart but removes everyday hazards. Our child-safety focused landscaping reduces risks from hard edges, open water and unsecured boundaries. We create visible play areas, safer routes between patio and lawn, and practical zoning for bikes, balls and quiet corners. The result is a garden children can enjoy with more confidence and less constant hovering.
West Wickham’s pleasant residential streets include plenty of 1930s semis and detached houses, alongside newer developments near BR4. These gardens can have long side access, split levels, older fencing lines and mature planting that needs careful review. We adapt layouts to suit family routines, storage needs and safe supervision from kitchens and living rooms. If you’re upgrading a tired garden, we’ll keep what works and improve what doesn’t.
We start with a safety-led survey, identifying pinch points such as steps, slippery paving, ponds and gate lines. You’ll receive a clear plan, material choices and a tidy schedule, with workmanship that respects neighbours and access. Every build is finished with a snagging visit and guidance on child-friendly maintenance. Homeowners choose us for consistent communication, premium detailing and a safer garden that still feels stylish.
In the child safe gardens West Wickham area, we often work with mixed soil conditions and established lawns that need levelling for safer play. Access is usually straightforward, but we plan deliveries around school-run traffic and residential parking near BR4. We also consider boundary heights, sightlines and neighbour-facing fences typical of 1930s plots. Where needed, we’ll advise on Bromley-specific constraints and keep the build compliant and considerate.

Costs vary with size, existing hazards and the finish you choose. As a guide, targeted safety upgrades (gate fixes, edging changes, planting swaps) often start from £1,500–£4,000. A mid-sized redesign with secure fencing, soft surfacing and new paving commonly falls around £8,000–£20,000+. Larger gardens with premium materials, drainage or major level changes can be £25,000–£50,000+.
Small safety improvements can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on access and materials. A typical family-garden refresh with fencing, surfacing and planting usually takes 1–3 weeks. Full redesigns with groundwork, drainage, new patios and custom play zones often run 3–6+ weeks. Timescales depend on weather, curing times for concrete, lead times for gates/fencing, and how much demolition is required.
Most child-safety garden works are permitted development, such as replacing fencing, installing gates, laying patios and updating planting. However, rules can apply to fence heights (especially near highways), listed buildings, conservation areas, and changes that affect drainage or levels. If pond barriers or structures are substantial, we’ll check the details. We review your site, confirm what’s required, and can help you navigate any Bromley council guidance.
