Twickenham’s riverside lifestyle means pets are part of the routine, from walks near Marble Hill Park to weekends around Twickenham Stadium. We design gardens that cope with zoomies, digging and wet-weather paw prints while still looking polished. From shaded lounging corners to practical dog runs, every element is planned around how you and your pets actually use the space. The result is a garden that stays tidy, safe and enjoyable year-round.
Across TW1 and TW2 you’ll find Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and plenty of 1930s family homes with long rear gardens and side access. We tailor pet-friendly layouts to these proportions, balancing planting beds with open play zones. If you need a separate digging area, a discreet bin store, or a hose point for quick clean-ups, we build it into the plan. Our designs also suit busy households where the garden needs to work hard every day.
We start with a site visit to understand your pet’s habits, escape risks and wear patterns, then propose a clear layout and materials schedule. Installation is managed end-to-end by our in-house team, with tidy working practices and daily updates. We specify non-toxic plants and robust surfaces, and we’ll advise on drainage and lawn reinforcement to reduce mud. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent options and a finish that lasts.
In the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, gardens often face mixed ground conditions, from compacted clay to free-draining pockets near the Thames. We plan for drainage, lawn reinforcement and hardwearing edges that stand up to year-round use. Access can be tight on some streets around St Margarets and Whitton, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider boundary heights, overlooking and mature trees common in older plots.

Costs vary with size, access and the level of build. As a guide, a small pet-friendly refresh (reinforced turf, edging, minor fencing tweaks) often starts from £2,500–£5,000. Mid-size redesigns with easy-clean paving, new secure fencing and planting typically fall around £7,000–£18,000. Larger gardens with dog runs, drainage improvements and bespoke carpentry can be £20,000+.
Most projects take 1–3 weeks on site, depending on how much hard landscaping and fencing is involved. A simple lawn replacement with reinforced turf and new edging can be completed in a few days. Full redesigns with paving, drainage, dog runs and planting usually take 2–4 weeks. Timescales are affected by access, curing times for bases and weather, especially in winter.
Most garden improvements such as lawns, paving, planting, low fencing and dog runs are usually permitted development. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, near a listed building, or you’re altering boundary heights facing a highway. We’ll flag likely constraints during the survey and can help you check Richmond upon Thames guidance. If permissions are needed, we’ll advise on the simplest compliant route.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues arising from installation defects. This includes items such as paving build-ups, edging, fencing installation and constructed features like dog runs, when used as intended. Living materials (turf and plants) are covered separately because establishment depends on watering, season and pet use; we’ll give clear aftercare guidance to maximise success.
Popular choices include reinforced turf or hard-wearing grass mixes, composite or treated timber fencing with secure gates, and porcelain or textured concrete paving for easy cleaning. We can add gravel digging pits, bark play zones, shaded pergolas, and safe water features with controlled depths. Planting is selected for non-toxicity and resilience, with tougher border edges where pets brush past. We’ll recommend options based on your pet, lifestyle and budget.
