From muddy paws after walks near Riddlesdown to energetic zoomies across the lawn, pets put gardens under real pressure. We create practical layouts with durable turf, easy-clean surfaces and safe planting so the space works all year. If you’re near Purley Cross or in CR8, we’ll tailor the design to your plot, lifestyle and pet’s habits. The result is a garden that still feels premium, not “pet-proofed”.
Purley’s leafy plots often come with generous rear gardens, side access and mature boundaries—ideal for thoughtful pet zones. We regularly work on large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes across Purley Oaks, Sanderstead and Kenley. That variety means we’re used to sloping lawns, older drainage, and gardens with established shrubs that need careful handling. Our designs balance pet safety with the clean lines homeowners expect.
We start with a site visit to map sun, shade, wear patterns and escape risks, then propose a clear plan with options. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and safe storage of materials around animals. We use proven, pet-safe specifications and explain aftercare so lawns, fencing and surfaces stay resilient. Local homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable timelines and workmanship backed by warranty.
Gardens around Purley Way and the CR8 area can combine clay-heavy soil with sloping sections near the North Downs, so drainage and stabilisation matter. We specify surfaces that cope with winter mud and choose lawn systems that tolerate compaction. Access and parking vary between wider driveways and tighter side paths, so we plan deliveries and waste removal accordingly. Where boundaries adjoin neighbours, we build fencing that looks smart on both sides and meets local expectations.

Costs vary by size and specification, but most pet-focused upgrades in Purley start around £1,500–£4,000 for targeted improvements (turf repairs, small patio, planting changes). A more complete redesign with secure fencing, new lawn system, drainage tweaks and a dog run is often £6,000–£18,000+. Larger period plots or premium paving can take budgets above this. We provide itemised options so you can prioritise what matters most.
A small package of works (patch repairs, planting swaps, a short fence run) typically takes 2–5 days. A full pet-friendly garden build with new lawn, paving, fencing and drainage usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on access and weather. Timescales also change if you’re adding bespoke gates, retaining edges on slopes, or waiting for specialist materials. We agree a schedule in advance and keep you updated throughout.
Most garden landscaping—new lawns, patios, planting, and like-for-like fencing—falls under permitted development. Planning may be needed for taller fences in certain positions, structures near highways, listed buildings, or if your property has restrictions. Water features and drainage changes can also require sensible checks to avoid run-off issues. For every project we review boundaries, heights and any constraints, and we can advise on Croydon requirements before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving bases, edging, and constructed features, when maintained as advised. Manufacturer guarantees apply to many materials (for example, certain paving or fencing components), and we pass these on in writing. Living elements like turf and plants are covered for establishment subject to season and aftercare. If anything isn’t right, we return promptly to put it right.
Popular choices include hard-wearing turf systems, reinforced grass for high-traffic routes, and porcelain or textured sandstone paving for easy cleaning. For boundaries we fit close-board fencing, pet-safe gates and discreet mesh where needed. Planting is selected from non-toxic, robust varieties and positioned away from favourite digging spots. We can add dog runs, shaded rest areas, and shallow, safe water features. We’ll guide you through options based on your pet, budget and how you use the garden.
