From Valley Recreation Ground to the lanes leading towards Cudham, Biggin Hill schools benefit from outdoor spaces that work hard year-round. Fine Landscaping designs and builds school grounds that support curriculum learning, active play and wellbeing. Whether you need a new playground layout, a wildlife garden or growing beds, we plan for safety, drainage and durability. We also coordinate works around term times to reduce disruption.
Biggin Hill’s semi-rural setting and larger plots—often detached homes, bungalows and period properties—mean expectations are high for finish and longevity. The same standards apply when we deliver school grounds biggin hill area projects: neat edges, tidy access routes and materials that stand up to heavy use. We’re used to working on sloping sites and mixed ground conditions common around Aperfield and Berry's Green. Our team brings practical design that’s easy to maintain and looks professional for years.
We start with a site survey, risk-led layout and clear specification for surfacing, play features and planting. You’ll receive a staged programme, safeguarding-aware working practices and regular updates from a dedicated project lead. Every build is quality-checked, with compliant installations and snagging completed promptly. Local clients trust us because we keep sites clean, communicate clearly, and deliver exactly what’s agreed.
Working in the London Borough of Bromley, we factor in local expectations for safety, noise and access, especially near Biggin Hill Airport. Many sites around TN16 have variable levels and clay-heavy ground, so we prioritise sub-base build-ups and drainage detailing. We also plan deliveries and parking to keep gates, staff parking and drop-off routes clear. Our designs suit both compact playgrounds and larger semi-rural school plots.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and the amount of groundworks needed. As a guide, small upgrades (new edging, planting, minor repairs) often start from £3,000–£8,000. A new safe-surfaced play zone with equipment can be £15,000–£45,000+, while larger schemes with sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and drainage commonly fall between £50,000–£150,000+. We provide itemised options to match budget and priorities.
Typical programmes range from 1–2 weeks for a small resurfacing or planting package, to 3–6 weeks for a new playground with safe surfacing, fencing and equipment. Larger multi-zone projects (sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms, wildlife gardens and growing areas) can take 6–12 weeks. Timescales depend on ground conditions, drainage requirements, lead times for play equipment, and whether works are scheduled for holidays or phased around term time.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted development, particularly like-for-like resurfacing, planting, and minor layout changes. However, larger structures (canopies, fencing changes, lighting, significant level alterations or new buildings) may require planning approval, and some sites have additional constraints. We’ll review the scope, check relevant guidance for school grounds in London Borough of Bromley, and help prepare drawings and information if an application or formal approval is needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements, including sub-bases, paving build-ups, edging and constructed features, when used and maintained as specified. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for play equipment, artificial surfaces and specialist products, and we’ll pass these on in your handover pack. If any workmanship-related issues arise, we’ll inspect promptly and carry out remedial works in line with the warranty terms.
Options include wetpour rubber, rubber mulch, resin-bound paths, artificial turf play areas, and robust tarmac or MUGA-style sports surfaces. For learning and nature zones, we design raised growing beds, wildlife ponds (where suitable), log and boulder play, sensory planting, and sheltered outdoor classroom structures. We’ll advise on slip resistance, drainage, maintenance and colour choices, then produce a layout that balances adventure play, quiet zones and safe circulation routes.
