Fulham schools need outdoor spaces that work hard all year, from wet winters to busy breaktimes. We design and build playgrounds, quiet zones and sports surfaces with safety, flow and supervision in mind. Whether you’re near Fulham Broadway or close to Bishops Park, we plan layouts that reduce pinch points and improve play value. Every scheme can include wildlife gardens and growing areas to support curriculum learning.
The Fulham setting brings varied site constraints, including tight access, shared boundaries and multi-use courtyards around mansion flats and Victorian terraces. For modern riverside apartment developments, we also create robust communal learning gardens and safe surfacing that cope with high footfall. Our team is used to working around neighbouring properties and school-day schedules. If you’re in the SW6 postcode, we can typically reach site in around 35 minutes from our Norbury base.
We start with a site survey and a practical concept plan, then refine details such as safe surfacing, drainage and edging. You’ll get clear phasing to minimise disruption, plus risk-aware installation for play and sports areas. We use proven materials and workmanship standards, with tidy handovers and maintenance guidance. Local homeowners and school leaders choose us for reliable communication, careful site management and consistent finish quality across the school grounds fulham area.

Costs vary by scope, surfacing type and site access. As a guide, small improvements (repairs, edging, minor safe surfacing) often start from £3,000–£10,000. A new playground zone with safe surfacing and equipment commonly falls around £20,000–£80,000+. Larger schemes with sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms, drainage and multiple zones can be £80,000–£250,000+. We provide itemised budgets after a site survey.
Timescales depend on the number of zones and whether groundwork or drainage upgrades are needed. Minor works can take 2–5 days. A typical playground redesign with safe surfacing and new features often takes 2–6 weeks. Larger projects combining sports surfaces, adventure play, outdoor classrooms and planting can run 6–12 weeks. Term-time access, safeguarding procedures, weather and curing times for resin or asphalt also affect the programme.
Many school landscape improvements are permitted, especially like-for-like surfacing, planting, and minor layout changes. However, planning may be required for new structures, significant level changes, lighting, fencing, or works near listed buildings or sensitive boundaries. Requirements can also vary with lease conditions and academy trust policies. We’ll review your proposals, check constraints, and advise whether you need to consult the council or submit an application before work starts.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed landscaping elements, covering issues arising from installation faults under normal use. This includes items such as sub-base preparation, edging, paving and many surfacing installations, subject to product specifications and maintenance guidance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for play equipment and certain specialist surfaces. We also complete a handover with care notes so your grounds remain safe and looking smart long-term.
We tailor designs to age groups, supervision needs and curriculum goals. Popular options include wetpour or resin-bound safe surfacing, rubber mulch, artificial grass for sports and play, and bound gravel paths. For learning, we build outdoor classrooms with timber or composite seating, pergolas and chalkboard walls, plus raised growing beds and wildlife habitats. We’ll guide you through colour palettes, durability, slip resistance and maintenance so choices suit your site and budget.
