Shepherd’s Bush gardens often need to work hard: a calm place to play, relax and entertain, all in one. Whether you’re near Westfield London or closer to Shepherd’s Bush Green, we design layouts that keep children safe without turning the space into a playground-only zone. Expect practical zoning, durable materials and tidy edges that are easy to maintain. The result is a garden that feels grown-up, but still fun.
In the family friendly gardens Shepherd's Bush area, we regularly work with Victorian terraces, mansion conversions and modern apartments with compact courtyards. These properties can have narrow side access, overlooked boundaries and limited storage, so every metre counts. We plan smart circulation routes, integrated seating and concealed toy storage to keep the garden usable. Where space is tight, we balance lawn, play and planting so nothing feels squeezed.
We start with a site visit to understand how your family uses the garden, then produce a clear plan covering levels, drainage and safety. Our builds prioritise child-friendly detailing—rounded edges, secure fixings and non-slip finishes—while keeping the look premium. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean working practices and transparent specifications. Every project is finished to a high standard and backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We tailor family friendly gardens in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to local constraints like tight access, parking restrictions and shared boundaries. Many W12 gardens sit on mixed London clay and made ground, so we specify the right sub-bases and drainage to prevent soggy lawns and sunken paving. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption on busy residential streets. If your property is a conversion or flat, we’ll consider noise, timing and communal rules from the outset.

Costs vary with size, access and how much construction is needed. As a guide, a small refresh with turf, edging and a simple play zone may start around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-range projects with new paving, soft surfaces, raised beds and lighting often fall in the £8,000–£20,000 range. Full redesigns including drainage, levels, bespoke joinery and play equipment bases can be £20,000–£45,000+.
Most builds take 1–3 weeks once materials are on site. A straightforward lawn and soft-surface play area can be completed in 3–7 working days, while projects with new patios, raised planters, drainage and fencing typically need 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common with terraces), ground conditions, curing times for concrete bases, and whether we’re installing features like sandpits, trampolines or climbing frames.
Many garden improvements are permitted development, such as patios, turfing, planting, and most play equipment. However, rules can apply to boundary fence heights, structures near boundaries, listed buildings, and some mansion conversions with management restrictions. If you’re adding significant decking, raised platforms, or lighting near neighbours, it’s worth checking. We’ll advise during the survey and can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving builds, sub-bases, retaining edges, raised planters and fixings. This covers defects caused by installation issues, not accidental damage, misuse or changes made by others. Products and materials (for example, turf, lighting components or play equipment) may also carry manufacturer warranties. We’ll explain what’s covered in your written specification.
Popular choices include resin-bound or rubber play surfaces, smooth porcelain or sandstone paving with anti-slip finishes, and durable composite or treated timber for seating and planters. We can integrate sandpits with lids, in-ground trampolines, climbing frames with safe fall zones, and wildlife areas using native planting and log piles. For growing spaces, raised beds and espalier fruit work well in compact W12 gardens. We’ll help you choose options that suit budget, maintenance and style.
