From King Street to the riverside near Hammersmith Bridge, schools and nurseries need outdoor spaces that cope with constant use and changeable weather. We design and build playgrounds, outdoor classrooms and wildlife gardens that feel purposeful rather than patchwork. Safe surfacing, clear circulation routes and well-planned quiet zones help reduce congestion and incidents. Every scheme is tailored to your pupils, safeguarding needs and timetable.
The school grounds hammersmith area includes Victorian terraces, mansion flats and modern riverside developments, which often means tight access, shared boundaries and limited storage space on site. We’re used to working around narrow gates, controlled drop-off times and neighbouring properties. Whether you’re upgrading a small courtyard in Brook Green or improving a larger site near Shepherd's Bush, we plan logistics carefully. Our designs also consider noise, overlooking and the need for robust, low-maintenance planting.
We start with a site survey, risk-led layout planning and a clear, itemised proposal. You’ll get options for playground design, growing areas, sports surfaces and adventure play, with materials chosen for durability and slip resistance. We protect existing trees and services, keep the site tidy, and schedule works to minimise disruption. Fine Landscaping is based 40 minutes away, and clients trust us for consistent communication, safe working practices and a 10-year warranty.
We regularly work across the school grounds in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, where access and parking can be restricted and deliveries need careful timing. Ground conditions vary from compacted urban sub-bases to wetter riverside soils, so we specify drainage and foundations accordingly. In W6, we often plan smaller delivery vehicles and phased installation to keep entrances clear. We also align designs with safeguarding, boundary treatments and local expectations for noise and working hours.

Costs vary by size, access and specification. As a guide, safe surfacing repairs may start from £2,000–£6,000, while a small playground refresh with new edging, surfacing and equipment typically falls around £12,000–£35,000. Larger schemes with outdoor classrooms, sports surfacing, drainage and multiple zones often range from £40,000–£150,000+. We provide itemised options to suit budget and phasing.
Minor works such as surfacing patches, line marking or raised beds can take 1–3 days. A focused playground redesign with new surfacing, fencing adjustments and planting usually takes 2–6 weeks, depending on curing times and deliveries. Full site upgrades with drainage, sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and multiple zones often run 6–12+ weeks. Timescales depend on access, term-time restrictions, weather and any groundworks required.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, especially like-for-like surfacing replacements, planting, and internal layout changes. However, new structures (such as canopies, shelters or higher fencing), lighting, changes near boundaries, or works affecting trees may require consent or additional checks. We review your site, advise on likely requirements and can support drawings and documentation. Where needed, we liaise with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham process to keep things moving.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues caused by installation defects under normal use. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for items such as play equipment, surfacing systems, membranes and specialist sports products, and we’ll explain these clearly in your proposal. We also provide care guidance for planting and growing areas. If anything needs adjustment after handover, we respond quickly and keep records for compliance.
We offer wet-pour rubber, rubber mulch and resin-bound finishes for safe surfacing, plus durable tarmac or polymeric systems for sports areas. For outdoor classrooms and quiet zones, popular choices include timber or composite seating, pergolas, shade sails and acoustic planting. Wildlife gardens can include native hedging, log piles, ponds (where suitable) and sensory planting, while growing areas often use raised beds and secure tool storage. We guide you through options based on age groups, maintenance and budget.
