"What started out as a simple request for mowing the lawn, turned into a total yard clean up/landscaping. The property itself is very large and had not been properly maintained for at least 5 years. Needless to say, all hedges, bushes, and areas that were once mowed were at least waist high or taller. Within one week - several trips - Devon - the owner of the company had everything under control. It was very important to me since I don't live at the property and live in a different state, that all concerns were addressed. Truth be told, I am a perfectionist and have very high expectations. Not only did Devon take before pictures for me - all angles of the yard, but also followed up with after pictures to show the work that had been completed. Beautiful work! In addition, Devon is a great communicator. He lets you know the status of the work and is always prompt with returning calls - very responsive! With all of this outstanding service, I was expecting a steep price. I was pleasantly surprised with the pricing and I'm here to tell you that this company is the most reasonably priced in the area. What a pro! I highly recommend. 5 ð ð ð ð ð all the way!!!!!"

Childproofing questions, answered by experts

The best time to hire a childproofing professional is at least three months before your due date. Although it might seem early, proper childproofing takes time, especially if you need extensive services like a pool fence. Getting your house ready now before your child is on the go only helps to protect them at all stages of life.

In many cases, you can DIY home childproofing with success. You can purchase childproofing tools like cabinet locks, outlet covers, and table-edge guards and install them easily. 

However, it's best to have a professional childproofing service work on larger projects like pool safety or furniture anchoring. These safety measures can take a lot of time and effort to DIY, plus, you want to ensure the tasks are done correctly to keep your child safe.

The average cost of childproofing services is $410. This cost can range from $190 to $630 or more, depending on the size of your home and what services you need. 

The location of the childproofing additions also plays a vital role in the overall cost. For example, a bathroom is relatively small and costs about $150 to fully childproof. However, if you have a swimming pool, you could spend as much as $1,500 to $10,000 to make it entirely safe for small children, including adding a pool fence.

A professional childproofer will first survey your home to identify potentially dangerous locations, including stairs, cabinets, and pools. Once approved, your professional will order and install the safety equipment for you. 

Some ways a childproofing professional will make your home safe include:

  • Anchoring large furniture 

  • Installing safety gates

  • Installing safety latches on cabinets and drawers 

  • Covering railings that could trap a child

  • Covering electrical outlets 

  • Installing a swimming pool fence

  • Removing or covering electrical cords where possible

Yes, tamper-resistant outlets are designed to be safe for use in homes with children. They feature a spring-loaded shutter that blocks the electrical slots when not in use, which helps protect children from electric shock if they try to insert an object. While they are the safest option available and highly effective, it's important to note that few things are truly 'childproof.' Children may still try to imitate adults by inserting a plug. For this reason, it's best to use tamper-resistant outlets over less effective solutions like plastic covers, which can be removed or pose a choking hazard. Always supervise young children around any electrical outlets or devices.
