Forest Hill homeowners love outdoor space that suits both people and pets, whether you’re near the Horniman Museum or walking distance from Forest Hill station. We create gardens that handle muddy paws, zoomies and daily use without losing their polished look. Expect durable lawns, secure fencing and planting chosen with safety in mind. Every layout is tailored to how your dog or cat actually uses the space.
The SE23 streets are full of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus period conversions with compact rear gardens and side returns. We’re used to long, narrow plots, level changes and shared boundaries where privacy and security matter. Our solutions work for family gardens, small courtyards and larger plots closer to Blythe Hill Fields. If you’re in Sydenham, Honor Oak or Dulwich, we can match the style to your property while keeping it pet-proof.
We start with a site visit to map pet routes, digging habits and sunny/shady spots, then produce a clear design and itemised quote. Installation is planned to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and safe storage of materials. You’ll get practical aftercare advice for lawns, planting and surfaces so the garden stays resilient. Local clients choose us for straightforward communication, reliable scheduling and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
We understand the mix of clay-heavy and compacted soils common across the London Borough of Lewisham, and we build up lawn bases for drainage and durability. Access can be tight behind period terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and neighbour-friendly working hours. Where parking is limited on residential roads, we schedule efficiently and keep materials neatly contained. Designs also account for mature trees and shade patterns typical around Devonshire Road Nature Reserve edges.

Costs depend on size, access and the features you choose. As a guide, a small pet-safe refresh (turf replacement, minor fencing fixes and planting) often starts around £2,000–£5,000. Mid-size redesigns with new paving, secure boundaries and drainage are commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger gardens with dog runs, bespoke fencing, water features and lighting can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are confirmed. A small lawn and fencing upgrade may be completed in a few days, while full reworks with paving, drainage, raised beds and dog runs can take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through the house, ground conditions, curing time for mortar or concrete, and weather. We provide a clear programme before starting.
Most garden landscaping, fencing and patios are permitted development, so planning permission isn’t usually required. However, rules can change for front boundaries, taller fences, listed buildings and properties within conservation areas. Drainage and water features may also need careful design to avoid run-off issues. We’ll flag any likely permissions early, and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving, edging, retaining details and fence structures, subject to normal use and maintenance. Materials are covered by manufacturer warranties where applicable. Soft landscaping like turf and plants is living material, so it’s covered for establishment issues within an agreed period, provided watering and care guidance is followed.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass systems, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy cleaning, and composite or treated timber fencing with secure gates. We can add dog runs, dedicated digging areas with sand/soil blends, shade spots using pergolas or planting, and safe water features with shallow edges. We’ll recommend non-toxic plants and layouts that protect borders while keeping the garden attractive year-round.
