Hard landscaping such as uneven surfaces like stepping stones or sleepers can create trip hazards. Slippery surfaces from algae growth are also a risk. Pools and bodies of water pose drowning risks, especially for children, while obscured edges or locations near pathways are hazardous for adults too. Electricity in gardens requires qualified work to avoid exposure to buried or overhead cables. Plants can cause injury from toxins, spines, or dust if not properly handled during gardening. All garden features need safe access for maintenance like pruning trees, trimming hedges, or working at heights.
