Life around Elephant Park and the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre is busy, so your garden needs to be low-fuss and pet-proof. We create practical layouts with durable lawns, secure fencing and surfaces that clean down fast after muddy walks. From dog runs to shaded rest spots, every element is planned around your pet’s habits. If you’re in SE1 or SE17, we’ll tailor the design to your space and access.
The local mix of modern high-rises, Victorian terraces and new-build apartments means no two gardens are the same. Roof terraces and podium gardens often need lightweight, free-draining build-ups and careful water management. Terraced homes in Kennington and Walworth may have long, narrow plots where zoning works best for play, planting and dining. Our pet friendly gardens elephant & castle area solutions keep the look refined while making the space genuinely usable.
We start with a site visit to assess access, pet behaviour, drainage and any escape points. You’ll receive a clear plan covering materials, planting choices and maintenance expectations, with options for dog runs, digging areas and safe water features. Our team works tidily and schedules deliveries to reduce disruption in built-up streets. Homeowners choose us for dependable workmanship, transparent communication and a finish that lasts.
In the London Borough of Southwark, we often encounter compact plots, shared access routes and strict delivery/parking constraints near Strata Tower and major roads. We plan materials and waste removal to suit tight access and minimise noise and mess. Ground conditions can vary, so we prioritise drainage layers and hard-wearing surfaces to prevent churned-up lawns. Where properties have balconies or terraces, we specify lightweight systems and pet-safe edging.

Costs depend on size, access and how many features you include. For smaller SE1/SE17 spaces, basic pet-proofing (secure fencing tweaks, tough turf repairs, easy-clean surfacing patches) often starts around £1,500–£4,000. Mid-range redesigns with durable lawn, new paving and planting are commonly £5,000–£15,000. Larger builds with dog runs, drainage improvements and bespoke fencing can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 3–10 working days, depending on demolition, access and the mix of hard and soft landscaping. A simple fencing and surface refresh can be completed in under a week. Full garden rebuilds with drainage, paving, turf and planting typically take 2–4 weeks. Weather, curing times for mortar, and delivery restrictions around Elephant & Castle transport routes can also affect the schedule.
Most rear-garden works—such as replacing paving, laying turf, installing low fencing and adding planting—are usually permitted development. Permission may be needed for taller boundary treatments, structures near boundaries, or if your home is listed or in a conservation area. For flats and new-build developments, freeholder or management company consent is often required. We flag likely constraints early and can help you check Southwark requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for eligible hard-landscaping elements, such as paving installation, edging and structural build details, when installed to our specification. Materials (like fencing systems, turf or composite decking) are covered by their manufacturer warranties, which vary by product. We also give aftercare guidance to keep lawns and surfaces performing well with pets. Any snagging issues are handled promptly.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass systems, porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning, and composite decking with anti-slip finishes. For boundaries, we use robust timber, metal or composite fencing with pet-safe gaps and secure gates. Planting focuses on non-toxic, resilient species with protected beds and clear routes for zoomies. We’ll recommend options based on your pet’s size, behaviour and how you use the space.
