Carshalton’s village feel, with walks around Carshalton Ponds and green space near Oaks Park, makes outdoor living a big part of daily life. Our pet-safe garden designs balance style with practical features that stand up to paws, claws and muddy zoomies. From tough, resilient lawns to defined dog runs, we create spaces pets can use confidently. Every layout is planned to keep mess contained and maintenance simple.
Across SM5 you’ll find Victorian and Edwardian houses, characterful period properties and plenty of 1930s semis with long rear gardens. These plots often need clear zoning: a clean patio for entertaining, a robust play area for pets, and planting that won’t cause worry. We tailor drainage, surfacing and planting to suit shaded side returns, narrow access routes and established boundaries. The result is a garden that fits the property and the way you live.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s routines—where they run, dig, sunbathe and drink—then design around those habits. You’ll receive a clear specification covering fencing, surfaces, planting and lawn choices, plus a build schedule you can rely on. Our team works tidily and protects existing features where possible, with careful hand-digging near roots and services. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, premium finishes and a 10-year workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the pet friendly gardens Carshalton area often sit on mixed clay soils, so we prioritise drainage and hard-wearing base layers to prevent winter churning. Access can be tight on older streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and parking issues. We also consider boundary heights, overlooking and existing walls typical of period plots. If any rules apply, we align designs with expectations for pet friendly gardens in London Borough of Sutton.

Costs vary with size and specification. As a guide, a small upgrade (pet-safe planting, lawn reinforcement and minor fencing repairs) often starts around £1,500–£4,000. Mid-range projects with new surfacing, secure fencing and a defined dog run typically fall between £6,000–£15,000. Larger redesigns including drainage, premium paving, new boundaries and water features can be £18,000–£40,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on access and the amount of groundwork required. A simple lawn and fencing refresh may be completed in a few days, while full landscaping with new paving, drainage, dog runs and planting can take 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by curing times for bases, weather, bespoke gate or fence lead times, and whether you choose turf or seeded lawns.
Most garden landscaping—lawns, patios, planting, dog runs and typical fencing—falls under permitted development. However, rules can apply to fence heights, boundaries next to highways, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas. Water features and lighting rarely need permission but must be installed safely. We check constraints during the survey, flag anything that may require consent, and can help you prepare details for the council if needed.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation quality on agreed works such as paving build-ups, edging, drainage runs, fencing installation and constructed features. Materials are also covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. The warranty doesn’t cover general wear and tear, storm damage, or issues caused by misuse or third-party alterations. We’ll explain care requirements for lawns and surfaces so you get the longest life from the garden.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass systems, porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning, and composite or treated timber fencing with secure gates. For dog runs, we often use permeable gravel, resin-bound surfaces or artificial grass with proper sub-bases and drainage. Planting focuses on non-toxic, robust varieties and raised beds to protect roots. We guide you through options based on your pet, budget, and how you use the space.
