New Cross gardens need to cope with busy households, student rentals and weekend entertaining, without compromising pet safety. Whether you’re near New Cross station or walking the dog around Deptford Park, we create outdoor spaces that are practical and smart-looking. Expect durable lawns, easy-clean paths and planting that’s chosen with pets in mind. We can also add dog runs, digging zones and calm shade spots for hot days.
Homes across SE14 range from Victorian terraces to Georgian houses and converted flats, often with compact rear gardens and shared boundaries. We’re used to working around narrow side returns, basement lightwells and tricky access, keeping disruption low. If your garden is overlooked or used by multiple occupants, we can design clear zones for play, toileting and relaxing. Our layouts suit everything from small courtyards to longer terrace plots.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s habits, escape risks and how you use the space day to day. Then we propose a plan with hard-wearing materials, safe planting and a build schedule that fits your household. You’ll get clear options, tidy working practices and straightforward aftercare guidance. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable communication and long-lasting results backed by warranty.
In the pet friendly gardens New Cross area, we often find compact plots, mixed boundary ownership and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Lewisham’s clay-heavy soils can get waterlogged, so we specify drainage, free-draining sub-bases and lawn construction that stays usable. We also design for privacy and noise, which suits the lively streets around Goldsmiths University. Where access is tight, we use modular materials and phased builds to keep everything manageable.

Costs vary with size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, a small SE14 garden refresh with pet-safe planting, edging and an easy-clean path may start around £2,500–£6,000. Mid-size projects including durable lawning, drainage tweaks and secure fencing often fall between £7,000–£15,000. Larger builds with dog runs, bespoke gates, lighting and water features can be £15,000–£30,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once materials are booked in. A simple fencing upgrade and surface changes can be completed in a few days, while full redesigns with drainage, new lawn construction and multiple zones typically take 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access (common with terraces), weather, curing times for bases, and whether we’re installing features like water points or electrics for lighting.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, adding lawns, or installing typical boundary fencing within height limits. However, rules can change for front boundaries, listed buildings, conservation areas, or where drainage affects the public highway. If you’re adding taller fencing, gates, or significant hardstanding, we’ll advise what’s likely to apply and can help you check Lewisham guidance before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed landscaping elements, giving you confidence that surfaces, edging and constructed features are built correctly. The warranty covers defects caused by installation, such as movement from poor sub-base preparation or faulty fixing methods. It doesn’t cover misuse, extreme weather events, or normal wear from pets over time. We’ll also explain maintenance steps to keep lawns and surfaces performing well.
Popular choices include reinforced turf or hard-wearing grass mixes, resin-bound or porcelain paving for easy cleaning, and composite decking with anti-slip finishes. For boundaries, we fit close-board fencing, trellis toppers, and secure self-closing gates. We can add dog runs with permeable bases, designated digging pits, shaded pergolas, and safe water features with shallow edges. We’ll recommend options based on your pet, budget, and how you use the garden.
