Clapham homes often share gardens with energetic dogs, curious cats and busy households. We design pet-safe layouts that cope with muddy paws after walks across Clapham Common and keep outdoor spaces looking sharp year-round. From secure fencing and self-closing gates to robust lawns and rinse-down surfaces, everything is planned around how your pets actually use the garden. We also add shade spots and drinking points so pets stay comfortable in warmer months.
Across Clapham Old Town, Clapham North and SW4, we regularly work on compact courtyards, long terrace gardens and balcony-to-garden upgrades. Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often need thoughtful zoning to protect borders and prevent wear along favourite patrol routes. Modern apartments around SW11 may benefit from low-maintenance, easy-clean finishes and discreet dog-run solutions. Our designs balance pet needs with a premium look that suits Clapham’s varied architecture.
We start with a site visit to map pet routes, digging habits, drainage and any escape risks. You’ll receive a clear plan covering durable lawns, non-toxic plants, secure fencing, dog runs, digging areas, shade spots and optional water features. Our team protects neighbouring boundaries, keeps the site tidy, and communicates daily so you know what’s happening. Fine Landscaping is based just 20 minutes away, and homeowners trust us for reliable scheduling, high-quality workmanship and a 10-year warranty.
Clapham gardens can have compact access routes, shared side returns and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for London clay and local drainage patterns, specifying permeable bases and falls where needed. Working across the pet friendly gardens clapham area, we adapt designs for terrace proportions, basement lightwells and boundary walls. If your property sits near Clapham Junction station or close to the Common, we’ll factor in noise, privacy and secure front-to-back routes for pets.

Costs vary with size, access and the finishes you choose. As a guide, a small pet-proof refresh (turf repairs, planting changes, minor fencing) often starts around £1,500–£4,000. Mid-size redesigns with durable lawn, new paving and secure gates commonly fall between £6,000–£15,000. Full garden builds with drainage upgrades, dog runs and bespoke fencing can be £15,000–£35,000+ in SW4/SW11.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on scope. A quick upgrade such as fencing adjustments, a small dog-run and lawn replacement can be completed in 3–7 days. Larger builds with paving, drainage, raised beds and new turf typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through terraces, curing times for bases, and weather—especially when installing lawns and planting.
Most garden improvements for pets are permitted development, including paving, planting, and typical fencing within height limits. Permission may be needed for taller front boundary fences, structures close to highways, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag anything that could involve Lambeth or Wandsworth requirements, check relevant guidance, and help you plan compliant solutions. Drainage rules for impermeable surfacing are also considered.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for hard landscaping elements we install, such as paving bases, edging, retaining details and built features. This covers defects caused by installation issues, not normal wear from heavy pet use or accidental damage. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like fencing components and membranes. We also give practical aftercare advice for lawns and planting so your garden stays resilient and safe.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass systems, porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning, and secure timber or composite fencing with pet-safe gate latches. For digging, we can create a dedicated sand/soil pit with edging, plus shaded lounging areas and optional low-splash water features. Planting focuses on non-toxic species and robust border design. We guide you through options to match your pet, lifestyle and the style of your Clapham property.
