From Jubilee Park to Crossrail Place, Canary Wharf schools and nurseries need outdoor spaces that work hard all year. Fine Landscaping designs and builds school grounds that balance safety, creativity and easy supervision. We deliver playground design, adventure play, quiet zones and growing areas that support curriculum and wellbeing. Every layout is planned for smooth movement, clear sightlines and durable finishes.
The school grounds canary wharf area often sit alongside modern high-rise apartments and waterfront developments on the Isle of Dogs, with tight access and high expectations for presentation. We’re used to working around concierge procedures, delivery windows and shared routes. Whether you manage a small early-years courtyard or a larger play deck, we specify materials that cope with wind exposure and heavy footfall. We also coordinate works to minimise disruption for families and neighbours.
We start with a site survey, risk-led design, and a clear proposal covering surfacing, drainage and edging details. Installation is programmed around term dates where possible, with safe segregation and tidy working practices. You’ll get transparent updates, quality checks at each stage, and a practical handover pack for maintenance. Many clients choose us for school grounds in London Borough of Tower Hamlets because we combine premium build quality with dependable aftercare.
Canary Wharf sites in E14 often involve restricted loading bays, timed deliveries and lift access for materials. We plan logistics early, including waste removal and safeguarding routes, and liaise with site management where needed. Ground conditions can vary between podium decks and landscaped courtyards, so we specify build-ups to suit structure and drainage. We also keep an eye on Tower Hamlets requirements and provide documentation to support approvals.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, safe surfacing can start around £90–£160 per m², while wet-pour with edging and sub-base preparation is often £140–£220 per m². A small playground refresh may be £8,000–£20,000, whereas a full school grounds redesign with outdoor classroom, sports surface and planting commonly ranges from £35,000–£120,000+.
Most projects take 1–6 weeks on site. A simple surfacing replacement or small play area can be completed in 3–7 working days, while a multi-zone scheme with drainage, sports surfacing, planting and timber structures typically needs 3–6 weeks. Timescales depend on access restrictions in E14, curing times for wet-pour, weather, and whether works are phased around term time and safeguarding requirements.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, but it depends on what’s being built and where. Larger structures, high fencing, significant lighting, changes to levels, or works affecting trees can trigger permissions or conditions. We review your site, advise on likely requirements, and can help prepare drawings and specifications for submissions. Where approvals aren’t needed, we still work to relevant safety standards and best practice.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed elements such as paving, edging, timber features and constructed bases, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply to specific products like artificial grass, wet-pour systems, play equipment and membranes, and we’ll pass these on at handover. The warranty covers defects arising from installation, not accidental damage, vandalism, or misuse.
We offer wet-pour and rubber mulch safe surfacing, resin-bound paths, artificial grass play zones, and robust sports surfaces such as polymeric or tarmac options. For learning spaces, popular choices include pergola-style outdoor classrooms, chalkboard walls, raised planters, and wildlife gardens with logs, boulders and native planting. We guide you through colour palettes, accessibility, maintenance levels and budget to create a cohesive, practical design.
