From Chiswick High Road to the grounds around Chiswick House, outdoor space is part of what makes W4 feel special. We bring that same care to school sites, creating playground design, quiet zones and adventure play that work for every age group. Whether you need safer routes between buildings or a complete re-think of the play offer, we plan spaces that are practical for staff and exciting for pupils. Our designs balance supervision lines, inclusive access and long-term durability.
Chiswick’s Georgian houses, Victorian villas and Edwardian family homes often sit on compact plots with mature planting nearby, which influences how we approach school grounds in the Chiswick area. We’re used to tight access, shared driveways and noise-sensitive neighbours, especially close to Hammersmith and Acton. That local experience helps us phase works to keep entrances clear and minimise disruption. We also design with drainage and tree protection in mind so surfaces stay safe year-round.
We start with a site survey, safeguarding-aware access plan and a clear brief for learning, play and sport. You’ll receive concept layouts, material samples and a programme that can be delivered in holidays or phased around term time. Our teams work cleanly with defined exclusion zones, daily tidy-ups and clear handover documentation. Local homeowners and schools choose us for reliable communication, high build standards and a finish that performs in all weather.
We regularly work across the London Borough of Hounslow and understand local expectations around noise, working hours and waste removal. In W4, access can be restricted by narrow gates, controlled parking and busy school-run traffic, so we plan deliveries and storage carefully. Ground conditions can vary from compacted sub-bases to clay-heavy areas, which affects drainage design and surfacing build-ups. We tailor specifications to suit each site, especially near mature trees and heritage boundaries.

Costs depend on size, access and the mix of features. As a guide, safe surfacing repairs can start around £2,000–£6,000, while a small playground refresh with new surfacing and equipment often falls between £15,000–£40,000. Full school grounds in London Borough of Hounslow with sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and drainage upgrades commonly range from £50,000–£200,000+. We provide itemised budgets after a survey.
Timescales vary with scope and phasing. Minor surfacing works may take 2–5 days, while a new playground area typically needs 2–4 weeks including groundworks, edging and installation. Larger schemes with sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and multiple zones often run 6–12 weeks, usually scheduled across holidays or in phases. Lead times for equipment, weather, and access constraints around W4 can also affect the programme.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, but some elements can require approval, especially new structures, fencing changes, lighting, or works near protected trees. If your site is close to heritage assets or has specific conditions, additional checks may be needed. We review constraints, advise on likely requirements, and can support drawings and documentation for submissions. Our goal is to keep the project compliant and avoid delays.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed school grounds elements, including groundworks, edging, paving and specified surfacing systems, subject to correct use and routine maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for play equipment, sports 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 put them right in line with the warranty terms.
We offer a wide range of options, from wetpour and rubber mulch safe surfacing to resin-bound paths and artificial sports turf systems. For learning and nature, we can create outdoor classrooms with timber seating, wildlife gardens with native planting, and growing areas with raised beds and water points. Adventure play can include natural logs, boulders and climbing features, or modular equipment. We help you choose based on age groups, maintenance capacity, drainage and budget.
