Response within 24 hours
If your garden needs to work for pets as well as people, we’ll design it to be safer, cleaner and tougher. From muddy corners after a run at Downham Fields to worn paths from daily zoomies, we create practical layouts that still feel premium. Expect secure fencing, non-toxic planting and surfaces that rinse down easily. We also add shade spots and water features where they make sense for your space.
Downham’s established residential estate has a mix of 1920s cottage estates, 1930s semis and post-war housing, often with straightforward rear gardens and side access. We tailor pet friendly gardens Downham area homeowners want, balancing play zones with planting and seating. For properties around BR1, we regularly improve drainage, lawn resilience and boundary security. The result is a garden that suits your home’s proportions and your pet’s habits.
We start with a site visit to map routes, digging hotspots and any escape risks, then propose a clear plan with material samples. Installation is handled by our in-house team, with tidy working practices and a handover that includes care advice for lawns and planting. We’re based just 20 minutes away, so aftercare is quick and straightforward. Homeowners choose us for pet friendly gardens in London Borough of Lewisham because we combine robust build quality with thoughtful design.
Gardens around Downham often sit on compacted ground from older builds, so we pay close attention to drainage, levels and lawn sub-bases. Access can be tight on some streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary heights, sightlines and neighbour fences common to 1930s semis and post-war plots. Where needed, we’ll advise on Lewisham council considerations before any fencing or hard landscaping begins.

Costs vary with size, access and how much hard landscaping is needed. As a guide, a small refresh (tough turf, minor fencing repairs, easy-clean zone) often starts around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-sized redesigns with new paving, secure fencing, planting and drainage commonly fall between £8,000–£20,000. Larger gardens with dog runs, bespoke gates, lighting and water features can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the mix of works. A simple lawn replacement and a few surface upgrades can be completed in 2–5 days. Full redesigns with new fencing, paving, drainage and planting typically take 10–15 working days. Timescales are affected by weather, curing times for bases, and lead times for bespoke gates or specialist materials.
In many cases, garden works such as new turf, patios, paths and most planting are permitted development. Fencing can be permitted too, but height limits and rules near highways can apply. Water features and lighting are usually straightforward, yet electrics must be installed safely. We’ll flag any potential planning constraints, check relevant guidance for the London Borough of Lewisham, and recommend the right approach before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving bases, edging, and constructed features, provided they’re used as intended. Products and materials (for example, fencing panels, turf or lighting components) may carry separate manufacturer warranties, which we pass on in writing. We also give clear care guidance to help lawns and planting establish well, especially in high-traffic pet areas.
Popular options include hard-wearing turf or reinforced lawn systems, porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning, and secure close-board fencing with pet-safe gates. We can add dog runs with permeable surfaces, dedicated digging pits with soft borders, and shaded seating areas using pergolas or trees. Non-toxic planting is selected to suit light levels and maintenance preferences. We’ll recommend combinations that match your garden layout and your pet’s routines.
