Families around Wimbledon Village High Street and the edges of Wimbledon Common often want a garden that feels open, yet stays secure. We design child-first layouts with visible play areas, safe equipment zones and robust boundaries. From pond safety to rounded edges on raised beds, every detail is planned to reduce risk. The result is a garden that works for everyday life in SW19.
Wimbledon Village has a mix of large detached houses, Georgian properties and luxury apartments with shared or compact outdoor spaces. We regularly upgrade family gardens where levels, steps and mature planting create hidden hazards. For period plots, we keep the character while improving safety with discreet gates and softened corners. For newer builds, we optimise space so play areas remain supervised and practical.
We start with a site survey, risk check and a clear design proposal, then schedule works to minimise disruption. Our team installs secure fencing and gates, specifies non-toxic planting, and fits soft landing surfaces where falls are most likely. You’ll get straightforward guidance on maintenance and safety checks, plus workmanship you can rely on. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for careful planning, tidy sites and consistent standards.
In the London Borough of Merton, gardens near Wimbledon Common can have uneven ground, mature roots and shaded areas that affect surfacing and planting choices. Parking and access can be tighter around Wimbledon Village, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low. We also consider boundary heights, sightlines and neighbour privacy typical of SW19 plots. Our designs suit everything from Georgian gardens to modern terraces and apartment courtyards.

Costs vary by size, levels and how many safety upgrades you need. As a guide, small improvements (gate upgrades, rounding edges, minor planting changes) often start around £1,500–£4,000. A mid-sized safety refit with new surfacing and fencing is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Full redesigns including pond alterations and play zones can be £18,000–£40,000+. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal after a site visit.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks once materials are confirmed. Simple works such as fitting secure gates, adjusting planting, or adding soft landing surfaces can be completed in 2–5 days. Larger schemes with fencing runs, level changes, drainage, and new layouts typically take 2–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for bases, and whether pond safety requires structural changes.
Many child-safety upgrades are permitted development, such as replacing planting, installing most garden surfacing, and adding play equipment. However, rules can apply to fence heights, walls, gates facing highways, and works near listed buildings or within conservation areas. If you’re close to boundaries or altering levels significantly, extra checks may be needed. We review constraints for your property in the London Borough of Merton and advise before work starts.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping installations, such as paving bases, edging, and fixed structures we build. This covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage, misuse, or normal wear. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like gates, fencing panels, membranes, and play surfaces. We’ll explain what’s covered in your proposal and provide care guidance to help everything perform safely long term.
We tailor the design to your family’s routines and the garden’s style. Popular options include close-board or slatted secure fencing, self-closing gates and child-safe latches, rubber mulch or wetpour play surfacing, and smooth porcelain or sandstone with anti-slip finishes. For planting, we specify non-toxic, low-allergen choices and avoid thorny borders near paths. We’ll show samples and recommend options that suit your budget and Wimbledon Village aesthetics.
