Beckenham’s leafy streets and big green spaces mean many homes have gardens that get used daily by pets and children. We create practical layouts that cope with muddy paws, zoomies and year-round wear, while still feeling premium. Whether you’re near Kelsey Park or walking distance from Beckenham Junction station, we’ll tailor the design to your routines. Expect safer planting, better drainage and surfaces that clean down fast.
Across BR3 we regularly work on Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions with long side returns, narrow access and mixed levels. That variety suits smart zoning: a dog run along the boundary, a digging area tucked away, and a calm patio for entertaining. We also plan shade spots and water features carefully so pets can cool off without turning the garden into a swamp. The result is a garden that looks considered, not compromised.
We start with a site visit to understand pet behaviour, escape risks and wear patterns, then produce a clear plan and material schedule. Installation is handled by our in-house team with tidy working practices and realistic timelines, plus advice on training the new lawn and protecting planting. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication and robust build quality. Every project is finished with a handover checklist so you know what’s been installed and how to maintain it.
Many gardens in the pet friendly gardens beckenham area sit on clay-heavy soils, so we prioritise drainage, sub-bases and lawn preparation to prevent churn. Access can be tight around side passages in older homes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider local boundary styles and visibility from neighbouring plots to keep fencing both secure and smart. Where needed, we align work with London Borough of Bromley expectations for boundaries and water management.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, a small refresh (tough lawn repair, safe planting, minor fencing tweaks) often starts around £2,000–£5,000. A mid-sized redesign with new lawn, secure fencing sections and an easy-clean patio is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger builds with dog runs, drainage upgrades and premium surfaces can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on groundwork and weather. A straightforward lawn replacement with minor edging and planting can be done in a few days. If we’re installing fencing, a dog run, drainage, and new paving, allow 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, spoil removal, curing times for bases, and whether you choose turf or seed.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as new paving, lawns, planting, and typical fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for front boundaries, listed buildings, conservation considerations, and drainage to public sewers. For water features and lighting, we also check electrical safety and any relevant restrictions. We’ll review your site in Beckenham and flag anything that may need council approval before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our landscaping workmanship, covering installation of hard landscaping elements such as paving, sub-bases, edging, and constructed features like dog runs and fencing (where supplied and installed by us). It protects against defects caused by poor installation, not accidental damage, pet chewing, or lack of maintenance. We also pass on relevant manufacturer warranties for materials and products used.
Popular options include tough turf varieties or reinforced grass systems, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy-clean patios, and composite or treated timber fencing with secure gates. We can add a dedicated dog run with permeable surfacing, a discreet digging pit, and shade via pergolas or small trees. For pet-safe interest, we specify non-toxic planting and consider shallow, circulating water features. We’ll recommend choices based on your pets, lifestyle and budget.
