Living near The Oval or Kennington Park often means making the most of compact outdoor space while keeping pets safe and entertained. We create practical layouts with secure boundaries, robust turf and dedicated zones for running, digging and relaxing. Non-toxic planting is planned from the start, so curious noses and paws are protected. The result is a garden that stays attractive without constant repairs.
Kennington’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often come with long, narrow gardens, raised patios or shared access routes. We tailor pet-friendly solutions to these formats, from discreet dog runs along side returns to hard-wearing surfaces that cope with muddy paws. If you’re in Oval, Vauxhall or near Elephant & Castle, we’ll design with privacy, light and neighbour considerations in mind. Every plan balances aesthetics with pet safety and durability.
We start with a site visit to understand pet behaviour, wear patterns and how you use the garden day-to-day. You’ll receive a clear proposal covering materials, drainage, planting and safety details, plus a realistic programme for installation. Our team protects existing finishes, keeps the site tidy, and tests gates, latches and surface levels before sign-off. Homeowners choose us for pet friendly gardens kennington area because we combine premium detailing with practical performance.
Across SE11 we often see mixed soils, compacted ground and drainage quirks in older gardens, especially behind terraces. Access can be tight around mansion blocks, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and on-site cutting to minimise disruption. We also factor in Lambeth expectations for boundary heights, front garden changes and neighbourly sightlines. Our approach keeps builds smooth while delivering pet friendly gardens in London Borough of Lambeth that last.

Costs vary with size, access and how many features you want. For SE11 gardens, a light refresh (pet-safe planting swaps, small fence upgrades and surface improvements) often starts around £2,000–£5,000. A mid-range redesign with durable lawn, secure fencing and easy-clean paving is commonly £6,000–£15,000. Larger projects with drainage, dog runs, lighting and bespoke carpentry can be £15,000–£35,000+.
Most Kennington projects take 3–10 working days, depending on the scope. A fence and surface upgrade may be completed in under a week, while a full redesign with new lawn, planting, drainage and a dog run typically takes 2–4 weeks. Timescales are influenced by access (common in mansion blocks), curing time for concrete or resin, and weather conditions for turfing and planting.
Most rear-garden works such as lawns, patios, planting, dog runs and replacement fencing are usually permitted development. Planning may be needed for taller front boundary treatments, significant changes to levels, structures close to boundaries, or if your property is listed or within a conservation area near Georgian squares. We flag likely constraints early, check relevant Lambeth guidance, and can help you prepare drawings or details if approvals are required.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements such as paving bases, retaining details, edging and constructed features, provided they’re used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer guarantees apply to many materials (for example, fencing components or paving products) and we pass these on in writing. Living elements like turf and plants are covered separately because weather, pets and aftercare affect establishment.
Popular options include hard-wearing turf or reinforced natural lawn, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy cleaning, and composite or treated timber for low-splinter edging. For pets that dig, we can add a designated digging pit with safe sand/soil, plus shaded lounging areas and a simple water feature for cooling. We’ll recommend non-toxic plants, secure gate hardware and layouts that suit your pet’s habits and your garden’s proportions.
