Your garden isn’t just a place for relaxing or entertaining — it’s a playground for your pets too. At Wicked Gardens, we believe your outdoor space should be a haven for every member of the family — including the four-legged ones.
If you’re looking to redesign your garden with pets in mind, here’s how to combine safety, style, and practicality in one seamless landscape.
🌿 1. Choose Pet-Safe Plants
Many common garden plants can be toxic to pets. Our team at Wicked Gardens helps you select beautiful, non-toxic greenery, such as:
Lavender
Camellia
Snapdragons
Rosemary
We avoid harmful options like foxgloves, lilies, and yew, ensuring your garden is both vibrant and vet-approved.
🧱 2. Durable, Non-Toxic Surfaces
Digging, zooming, and chasing squirrels can take a toll on your lawn. Instead of fragile turf or loose gravel, we recommend:
Pet-friendly artificial grass that’s soft underfoot and easy to clean
Natural paving like sandstone or slate, which stay cool in the sun
Mulch alternatives like coconut husk (avoiding cocoa mulch, which is toxic)
Our materials are handpicked for durability and low maintenance, so you spend less time fixing and more time playing fetch.
🌳 3. Create Zones for Play and Peace
Just like us, pets enjoy routine and their own space. We help you design:
Open zones for running around and play
Shaded areas for naps in the summer
Defined toilet areas with gravel or bark for easier clean-up
We can even build stylish barriers or trellis to keep them away from delicate plants.
🐕 4. Secure Fencing & Safe Boundaries
Your garden should be a safe space for your pet to roam freely without escape routes. That’s why our fencing solutions consider:
Secure perimeters with no gaps
Dig-proof edging if your dog is a known escape artist
Climb-resistant panels for cats and larger breeds
We tailor fencing not just for privacy — but for peace of mind.
🚿 5. Add Thoughtful Features
Little extras go a long way. Popular pet-friendly additions include:
Outdoor dog showers for muddy paws
Raised beds to keep your plants safe from digging
Pet-friendly water features (shallow, moving water that’s safe to drink)
We can incorporate these into your existing garden layout or create a new space from scratch.
