From Hyde Park’s green outlook to the busy streets by Harrods, Knightsbridge schools need outdoor spaces that work hard every day. We create purposeful grounds that support playtimes, PE and calm learning outdoors. Expect thoughtful zoning for adventure play, quiet areas and growing spaces. Every layout is designed to be easy to supervise and enjoyable in all seasons.
The school grounds knightsbridge area often sit beside grand mansion blocks, period townhouses and ultra-luxury apartments, where access and presentation matter. We’re used to tight service routes, managed estates and strict delivery times around SW3 and SW7. Our finishes suit premium settings—clean lines, durable materials and tidy edges that stay sharp. We also plan for high footfall and frequent use without the space feeling worn.
We start with a site survey, safeguarding-led design and clear phasing to keep school life running smoothly. You’ll receive a detailed specification for surfacing, drainage, planting and play elements, plus a programme you can share with staff and governors. Our team works neatly, with considerate noise and dust control, and we hand over with maintenance guidance. Local clients trust us for consistent communication, robust build quality and dependable aftercare.
Projects in the school grounds in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea/City of Westminster often involve controlled parking, loading restrictions and careful neighbour management. We plan deliveries, waste removal and working hours to suit busy streets near South Kensington and Belgravia. Ground conditions can vary between compacted sub-bases and older build-ups, so we assess drainage and levels before specifying surfaces. Where sites are enclosed by mansion blocks, we prioritise clean logistics and low-disruption methods.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and how many zones you include. As a guide, small upgrades (e.g., quiet zone, planters and minor repairs) often start from £5,000–£15,000. Mid-sized schemes with safe surfacing and play features commonly fall around £20,000–£60,000. Larger projects combining sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and drainage can be £70,000–£200,000+ depending on specification and access.
Typical timescales range from 1–2 weeks for targeted improvements to 4–8 weeks for a full grounds rework with surfacing, planting and multiple activity zones. Larger schemes with sports surfacing, drainage upgrades or bespoke timber structures can run 8–12+ weeks. Programme depends on term-time constraints, access for machinery, curing times for wet-pour/resins, and whether enabling works (levels, utilities, tree protection) are required.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, especially like-for-like surfacing repairs, planting, raised beds and minor landscape works. However, planning or consent may be needed for taller structures, lighting, significant fencing changes, works affecting trees, or sites with heritage constraints. We check the relevant council guidance (RBKC or Westminster), review any lease/estate requirements, and can help prepare drawings and supporting information if an application is advisable.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our installed landscaping elements, covering defects arising from installation. Manufacturer warranties also apply to many materials and systems, such as certain surfacing products, timber treatments and fixings, and these vary by supplier. The warranty doesn’t cover misuse, vandalism, or lack of routine maintenance, but we provide clear care guidance and can offer scheduled inspections to keep everything performing well.
Options include wet-pour rubber, resin-bound paths, artificial grass for play, and multi-use sports surfacing. For learning and nature, we design wildlife gardens with native planting, log habitats and ponds (where appropriate), plus growing areas with raised beds and irrigation. Outdoor classrooms can be pergolas, sail-shaded seating, or timber shelters with storage. We guide you through safety, durability, aesthetics and maintenance to match your budget and site constraints.
