Richmond gardens often need to balance smart entertaining space with practical pet zones. Whether you’re near Richmond Green or walking the dog through Richmond Park, we create layouts that keep pets safe without compromising style. Expect durable lawns, secure boundaries and surfaces that clean down quickly after muddy play. Every design is tailored to your pet’s habits, from sprinting to digging.
Across TW9 and TW10 we work on Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties where outdoor space is valuable and finishes matter. Narrow side access and stepped terraces are common, especially around Kew and Petersham, so we plan materials and logistics carefully. We also design discreet dog runs and gated zones that suit period detailing. The result is a garden that works for pets and complements the architecture.
We start with a site visit to map pet routes, weak lawn areas and escape risks, then produce a clear design and specification. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption, with tidy working practices and daily clean-downs. We use proven, pet-safe materials and non-toxic planting, and we explain aftercare so your garden settles in quickly. Local homeowners choose us for reliable communication, premium finishes and long-term performance.
In the pet friendly gardens Richmond area, we often deal with compact access routes, parking restrictions and careful neighbour considerations. We plan deliveries and waste removal to suit residential streets and coordinate around local rules where needed. Soil conditions vary from well-draining riverside ground to heavier pockets, so we match lawn build-ups and drainage accordingly. Our designs also respect period features common in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of build. As a guide, a small pet-focused refresh (turf reinforcement, minor fencing tweaks, easy-clean surface) often starts around £3,000–£7,000. Mid-size redesigns with new paving, secure fencing, planting and a dog run are commonly £10,000–£25,000. Larger, premium schemes for riverside plots can be £30,000+ depending on drainage, lighting and bespoke joinery.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site once the design and materials are agreed. A small upgrade can be completed in a few days, while full rebuilds with fencing, paving, lawn construction and planting typically run 2–4 weeks. Timescales depend on access, spoil removal, curing time for bases, and weather. We provide a clear programme and keep you updated if anything changes.
Most garden improvements are permitted development, such as replacing paving, installing lawns, and adding typical fencing within height limits. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, boundary treatments facing highways, and certain water features or structures. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check guidance for the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames before work starts, so you avoid compliance issues.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, such as paving bases, edging, retaining details and installed fencing structures (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer guarantees apply to specific products like composite decking or specialist turf systems. We also give practical aftercare guidance for lawns and planting, because pet wear, watering and seasonal conditions affect how quickly everything establishes.
Popular options include reinforced turf or hard-wearing lawn systems, porcelain or textured sandstone for easy-clean patios, and secure timber or composite fencing with self-closing gates. We can integrate dog runs, discreet digging pits, shaded lounging areas and low-splash water features. Planting is chosen for pet safety and resilience, using non-toxic varieties where possible. We’ll recommend options based on your pet’s behaviour, your style, and how you use the garden.
