Schools around Bromley South station and The Glades Shopping Centre need outdoor spaces that work hard all year. We design and build playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, wildlife gardens and growing areas that support curriculum learning as well as break-time energy. Whether you’re upgrading a tired tarmac yard or creating a new zone from scratch, we plan layouts that improve flow, supervision and accessibility. Safe surfacing and clear zoning are built into every scheme.
The Bromley postcode districts BR1 and BR2 cover everything from large detached houses and Victorian villas to modern developments, and local schools often mirror that mix of older sites and newer builds. In Shortlands, Bickley and Bromley Common, we regularly work with constrained access, mature trees and established boundaries. We’re used to protecting existing features while adding new adventure play, quiet zones and inclusive routes. Our designs suit both compact urban plots and larger grounds with room for sports and habitat areas.
We start with a site survey, safeguarding-led risk review and a practical design that fits your budget and maintenance capacity. You’ll receive clear drawings, material samples and a staged programme to minimise disruption during term time. Our installation teams work tidily, manage deliveries, and keep communication simple for site managers and governors. Local clients choose us for dependable scheduling, robust build quality and aftercare that keeps spaces performing.
The school grounds Bromley area often sits on clay soils, so we prioritise drainage, sub-bases and root-friendly detailing near mature trees. Access can be tight on residential roads around Plaistow and Shortlands, so we plan deliveries, parking and waste removal carefully. We also factor in boundary treatments, noise considerations and safeguarding sightlines that are common requirements for sites in the London Borough of Bromley. Every design is tailored to how your site is used day to day.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and the amount of groundwork required. As a guide, small upgrades such as a quiet zone, planters and minor safe surfacing might start from £5,000–£15,000. Mid-sized playground refurbishments with wet-pour, equipment bases and drainage are often £20,000–£60,000. Larger schemes combining sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and multiple zones can run £70,000–£200,000+.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks on site, depending on scope and weather. A single surfacing area or a small outdoor classroom can be completed in 1–3 weeks, while multi-zone schemes with drainage, sports surfaces and planting typically need 6–12 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, access for machinery, lead times for specialist surfacing and any phasing required to keep parts of the site open.
Many school landscape improvements are permitted development, particularly like-for-like surfacing, planting, and minor layout changes. However, planning may be needed for taller structures, lighting, fencing, significant level changes, or works near protected trees and boundaries. We’ll review your proposals, check constraints such as Tree Preservation Orders and site designations, and advise what to submit. If required, we can support drawings and information for applications.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues such as failed joints, unstable edging, and defects caused by installation. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many products, including certain surfacing systems and fixtures, and we’ll pass these details to you at handover. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, vandalism or lack of routine maintenance, but we’ll advise on care plans to protect your investment.
Options include wet-pour rubber, resin-bound paths, artificial grass play zones, and porous asphalt for safer, better-draining surfaces. For learning areas, we install timber or composite outdoor classrooms, pergolas, seating circles and chalk-wall features. Wildlife gardens can include native hedging, log piles, ponds (where appropriate) and pollinator planting, while growing areas use raised beds and secure tool storage. We help you choose based on age range, supervision, maintenance and budget.
