Pets change how a garden needs to work, especially around busy routes near Hither Green station and weekend walks at Mountsfield Park. We design spaces that stay tidy, safe and good-looking, even with muddy paws and daily play. From secure fencing and dog runs to non-toxic planting, every element is chosen for pet wellbeing. You get a garden that suits both animals and adults, without compromising on style.
Homes across SE13 include Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, each with different access and garden proportions. We’re used to narrow side returns, stepped patios and long, slender lawns that need careful zoning. If you’re updating a family garden in Lee or improving a rear space closer to Lewisham, we tailor layouts to your property’s footprint. The result feels considered, not “pet-proofed” as an afterthought.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s habits: sprint lines, favourite shade spots and any digging hotspots. Then we propose a clear plan covering surfaces, drainage, planting and boundary security, with options to suit your budget. Our team installs with minimal disruption and keeps the site safe and clean throughout. Fine Landscaping is based just 25 minutes away, and local homeowners trust us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and lasting finishes.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, we often work with compact gardens, shared access and limited on-street parking, so deliveries and waste removal are planned carefully. Ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage before choosing lawn systems and sub-bases for paving. We also design with neighbouring boundaries in mind, common in Victorian and Edwardian plots. If you’re near Manor Park or Catford, we’ll tailor materials and layouts to suit daily use and local conditions.

Costs vary by size, access and how many features you include. As a guide, a small pet-friendly refresh with safe planting, minor fencing upgrades and an easy-clean surface can start from £2,500–£6,000. A mid-sized redesign with new paving, durable lawn and improved boundaries is often £8,000–£18,000. Larger gardens with dog runs, drainage works and bespoke fencing can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on the scope. A simple upgrade (surface changes, planting and minor fencing) may be completed in 3–7 days. Full redesigns with new sub-bases, drainage improvements, lawn installation and carpentry typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access through the house, curing times for mortar/concrete, and weather conditions during groundworks.
Most garden landscaping is permitted development, including patios, paths, planting and replacing fencing within typical height limits. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering boundary heights facing a highway. Water features and lighting may also require careful positioning for safety and neighbours. We’ll flag any likely constraints early and can help you check Lewisham Council guidance before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty covering our workmanship on installed hard landscaping elements such as paving sub-bases, edging, drainage runs and constructed features like dog runs and fencing installations (materials covered per manufacturer terms). Soft landscaping such as plants and turf is more seasonal, but we specify robust options and give clear care guidance. If an issue relates to installation, we return promptly to put it right.
Popular choices include porcelain or textured sandstone for easy-clean patios, resin-bound or compacted gravel paths, and reinforced turf or hard-wearing seed mixes for lawns. For boundaries, we can install close-board fencing, slatted screens with pet-proof mesh, and self-closing gates. Planting focuses on non-toxic, resilient varieties and thorn-free borders. We’ll recommend options based on your pet’s behaviour, sunlight levels and how you use the space.
