Blackheath homeowners love outdoor space, but pets quickly expose weak lawns, gaps in fencing and messy corners. We create gardens that stand up to daily paws while complementing the look of Blackheath Village and the open feel near Blackheath Common. Your layout is planned for play, rest and easy cleaning, without sacrificing kerb appeal. Every design prioritises safety, comfort and long-term durability.
From Georgian townhouses by The Paragon to Victorian villas and period conversions across SE3, gardens here often come with mature borders, terraces and narrow side access. We work around existing character features while improving pet safety—think secure gates, robust edging and planting that won’t harm curious noses. Whether you’re closer to Greenwich, Lee or Lewisham, we tailor drainage, lawn choice and surfaces to how your pets actually use the space. The result feels considered, not “pet-proofed as an afterthought”.
We start with a site visit to assess access, sun/shade patterns, wear zones and any escape risks. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering materials, timelines and maintenance guidance, plus options for dog runs, digging areas and easy-clean surfaces. Our team installs with tidy working practices and careful protection of existing features. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, premium finishes and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
Blackheath gardens often mix clay-heavy patches with compacted ground from mature trees, so we prioritise drainage and resilient turf systems. Access can be tight behind period homes, and parking restrictions near Blackheath Village mean we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider boundary treatments that suit conservation-area character where relevant. Our designs balance pet practicality with the Georgian and Victorian streetscape.

Costs vary with size, access and how much you’re upgrading. As a guide, a small pet-friendly refresh (tough lawn, minor fencing fixes, easy-clean surface) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size redesigns with new paving, secure fencing, planting and a dog run commonly fall between £8,000–£20,000+. Larger period gardens with drainage works, premium materials and lighting can be £25,000–£60,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. A straightforward lawn replacement with small fencing upgrades can be completed in a few days, while a full redesign with new paving, drainage, planting and a dog run typically needs 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SE3, curing times for concrete bases, and lead times for bespoke gates or fencing panels.
Most garden upgrades—such as replacing lawns, adding paths, installing dog runs, and standard fencing—are usually permitted development. However, rules can change in conservation areas, for listed buildings, or where fence heights and boundary positions are altered. Water features and drainage changes may also need careful consideration. We’ll review your specific property and, if needed, help you check requirements with the Royal Borough of Greenwich or Lewisham.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements such as paving, edging, fencing and built structures, subject to normal use and proper maintenance. We also use reputable, warrantied materials where possible, and we’ll explain product guarantees (for example, on composite decking or specialist turf systems). If an issue arises from installation, we’ll return to inspect and put it right promptly.
Popular options include hard-wearing turf or reinforced lawn systems, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy-clean patios, and composite decking for splinter-free lounging areas. For boundaries, we often specify close-board fencing with pet-safe gaps, plus self-closing gates. Planting focuses on non-toxic choices and robust shrubs that tolerate brushing and occasional digging. We’ll guide you through options based on your pet’s habits, shade levels and the style of your home.
