From muddy paws after Mountsfield Park to zoomies in smaller SE6 gardens, a pet-ready layout makes daily life easier. We design spaces that look premium while standing up to claws, digging and heavy footfall. Expect practical zones such as dog runs, shaded resting spots and simple-to-rinse patio areas. We can also integrate safe, low-splash water features for calm enrichment.
Catford homes range from Victorian terraces with narrow plots to 1930s semis with longer lawns, plus ex-council properties with generous side access. We tailor pet friendly gardens Catford area homeowners need, whether that means strengthening boundaries, improving drainage, or creating defined play and planting zones. If you’re near Catford Broadway or in Hither Green, we’ll design around your access, storage and bin routes. The result is a garden that suits your property and your pet’s routines.
We start with a site survey to map sun, wear patterns and escape risks, then propose a clear plan with materials chosen for durability and safety. Our builds prioritise neat edges, robust fixings and non-toxic planting schemes, with tidy working practices throughout. You’ll get a written scope, realistic timescales and straightforward aftercare advice. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, so support is close by if you need adjustments.
Across the London Borough of Lewisham, we often see compact rear gardens, mixed soil and drainage challenges after heavy rain. In Catford, access can be tight behind terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and parking to minimise disruption. We also design around existing levels and retaining edges common in older plots. Where boundaries meet neighbours, we specify sturdy, compliant fencing and considerate sightlines.

Costs vary with size, access and how many pet zones you want. As a guide, a small refresh with easy-clean surfacing and safer planting may start around £2,000–£5,000. Mid-size redesigns with durable turf, secure fencing and defined dog-run areas often fall between £6,000–£15,000. Larger projects with drainage upgrades, bespoke joinery and water features can be £15,000–£30,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the amount of groundwork. A simple lawn replacement and fencing upgrade can be completed in a few days, while full redesigns with patios, drainage, raised beds and dog runs usually take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access in SE6 terraces, curing times for concrete bases, and lead times for gates, fencing panels or specialist surfaces.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, planting, turfing and typical fencing, provided heights and boundaries follow the rules. However, permissions can apply if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, adding structures near boundaries, or changing front garden treatments. We’ll flag anything that may need approval and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work starts, so there are no surprises.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as patios, edging, retaining details and fixed structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by their manufacturer warranties where applicable. Living elements like turf and plants are affected by weather, watering and pet wear, so we give clear aftercare guidance and can offer follow-up visits to keep everything settling in properly.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass systems, porcelain or textured paving for easy cleaning, and composite or treated timber for robust edging. For boundaries, we can specify closeboard fencing, pet-proof gates and discreet mesh where needed. Planting is built around non-toxic selections and resilient shrubs, with shade spots and drinking points. We’ll recommend options based on your pet’s habits, sunlight and the layout of your Catford garden.
