Chislehurst schools benefit from generous green space and a strong community focus, and we design grounds that make the most of both. Whether you’re near Chislehurst Common or close to Chislehurst Caves, we plan layouts that improve supervision, flow and year-round use. Our team creates playground design, outdoor classrooms and growing areas that support curriculum goals. Every element is specified for safety, drainage and long-term maintenance.
Working across BR7 and nearby Elmstead, we’re used to sites bordering mature trees, period boundaries and established planting. Many local settings sit alongside large detached houses and Victorian villas, so we match materials and detailing to the character of the neighbourhood. If you need quieter spaces for SEN support or structured zones for mixed-age play, we design with behaviour, visibility and accessibility in mind. The result is a cohesive campus feel rather than a collection of add-ons.
Our process starts with a site survey, risk-led concept plan and a clear programme that keeps disruption to a minimum. We handle safe surfacing, sports surfaces and planting in coordinated phases, with safeguarding-aware teams and tidy site management. You’ll receive transparent specifications, maintenance guidance and aftercare support. Homeowners and school leaders choose us because we turn complex requirements into practical, dependable outdoor spaces—on time and built to last.
We’re familiar with the London Borough of Bromley’s expectations around safety, access and considerate working near neighbours. In the school grounds Chislehurst area, mature trees and clay-heavy soils can affect drainage and surfacing performance, so we specify the right sub-bases and root-friendly solutions. Access can be tight around older boundaries and parked cars, so we plan deliveries and storage carefully. Our designs also respect the look of period properties and established streetscapes.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, small upgrades (e.g., a quiet zone, planters or a short path) often start from £3,000–£10,000. Mid-size schemes with safe surfacing and new play features are commonly £15,000–£60,000. Larger projects including sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and multiple zones can run £60,000–£200,000+. We provide itemised options to suit budgets.
Most projects take 1–6 weeks on site, depending on scope and phasing. A single surfacing area or small wildlife garden may be completed in 3–7 days, while a full playground redesign with drainage and sports surfacing often needs 3–6 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground conditions, lead times for play equipment, and whether work must be scheduled around term time. We agree a programme and keep you updated daily.
Many improvements to school grounds are permitted, but requirements can change depending on equipment height, lighting, fencing, drainage outfalls and whether the site is in a sensitive area. If your grounds are near protected trees or have restrictions, extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag likely approvals early, help with drawings and specifications, and advise when to consult the London Borough of Bromley. Compliance and safety documentation are built into our process.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping elements, such as sub-bases, edging, paving and installed surfaces, when used and maintained as specified. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to play equipment, specialist sports systems and certain surfacing products, and we’ll provide these in writing. If any installation-related issues arise, we respond quickly, inspect the area and put things right. Aftercare guidance is included at handover.
We tailor designs to age ranges, supervision needs and curriculum goals. Popular options include wetpour or rubber mulch safe surfacing, resin-bound paths, artificial grass for high-wear zones, and multi-use sports surfaces. For learning spaces, we install timber or composite outdoor classrooms, raised growing beds, and wildlife gardens with native planting and habitat features. We’ll present mood boards, samples and a phased plan so you can choose durable, low-maintenance solutions with confidence.
