Colliers Wood schools benefit from generous green routes and riverside settings, so we design grounds that feel connected to nature while staying robust for daily use. Whether you’re close to Wandle Park or the River Wandle, we can create zones for active play, calm reflection and outdoor learning. Our team delivers playground design, safe surfacing and sports areas that stand up to heavy footfall. Every layout is planned around safeguarding, supervision lines and inclusive access.
This well-connected SW19 area mixes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern apartments, which often means tight access routes and limited on-street parking near sites. We’re used to planning deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption for neighbours and school runs in South Wimbledon, Tooting and Mitcham. Ground levels, existing drainage and boundary constraints are assessed early so the finished space remains usable year-round. If your site includes mature trees or older hardstanding, we design around them rather than forcing a one-size approach.
We start with a site survey, risk-aware concept plan and clear phasing so the work fits term times and holiday windows. You’ll receive material samples, surfacing specifications and maintenance guidance before installation begins. Our installations are built to relevant safety standards where required, with tidy handovers and snagging included. Local clients trust us because we communicate clearly, keep sites safe and deliver durable finishes that look premium for years.
The school grounds Colliers Wood area often sits on mixed urban soils with variable drainage, especially near the Wandle corridor, so we prioritise permeable build-ups and sensible falls. Access can be restricted on residential streets, so we schedule deliveries outside peak drop-off times and use compact machinery where needed. We’re familiar with London Borough of Merton expectations around trees, boundaries and site safety. If your site is near Colliers Wood Tower or the Tandem Centre, we plan logistics to keep disruption low.

Costs vary by surfacing type, ground preparation and the number of zones. As a guide, safe surfacing can range from £70–£140 per m², while sports surfaces are often £45–£120 per m² depending on specification. A small playground refresh may start around £8,000–£20,000, while multi-zone upgrades with outdoor classrooms, planting and drainage commonly fall between £30,000–£120,000+.
A simple surfacing replacement or small play area can take 1–2 weeks once materials are booked in. Larger schemes with drainage, earthworks, sports surfaces and multiple features typically run 4–10 weeks, often phased around holidays. Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times for wet-pour, and whether we’re working around existing trees or underground services. We provide a programme with clear milestones and handover dates.
Many school landscape improvements are permitted, but some elements can trigger approvals—such as new fencing, lighting, significant level changes, structures, or works near protected trees. In the London Borough of Merton, tree constraints and drainage discharge are common considerations. We’ll review your site, advise on likely permissions and help prepare drawings and specifications if an application is needed. We also coordinate with your safeguarding and health-and-safety requirements.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed landscaping elements, covering issues caused by installation defects under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to specific products such as artificial grass, wet-pour systems, edging and timber components, and we’ll pass those details on at handover. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, vandalism, or damage from unreported leaks or ground movement. We also offer maintenance plans to protect your investment.
Options include wet-pour rubber, rubber mulch, resin-bound paths, artificial grass, bonded gravel and line-marked sports surfacing. For learning and nature, we design outdoor classrooms with pergolas, amphitheatre seating, raised beds, wildlife ponds (where suitable), log habitats and sensory planting. Adventure play can use timber trails, boulders, balance elements and mounds with safe run-offs. We guide you through samples, durability, maintenance needs and budget to choose the best mix.
