From playground upgrades to full campus transformations, we create spaces children want to use every day. In Lewisham, we’re often working near Lewisham station and Mountsfield Park, where access and safeguarding matter as much as the build quality. Our team delivers playground design, safe surfacing, quiet zones and adventure play with clear zoning for different age groups. Every scheme is tailored to your timetable, supervision needs and budget.
The school grounds lewisham area includes tight urban sites alongside larger plots near Blackheath and Hither Green. Surrounding streets feature Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments, which often means restricted deliveries, shared access routes and careful noise control. We plan logistics to minimise disruption at drop-off and pick-up. Designs also consider drainage, shade and year-round usability across mixed surfaces.
We start with a site survey, then produce concept layouts, material samples and a phased programme to keep areas open where possible. Risk-aware construction methods, clear signage and daily tidy-downs are standard on our sites. You’ll get transparent specifications, realistic timelines and a handover pack with maintenance guidance. Local schools trust us for consistent communication and build quality that lasts through term after term.
Working across the school grounds in London Borough of Lewisham means planning around busy roads, controlled parking and strict safeguarding. We schedule deliveries to avoid peak times near SE13 and coordinate access routes to keep pupils separated from works. Local ground conditions can vary, so we assess drainage and sub-bases carefully before installing sports surfaces or safe surfacing. Where sites sit close to neighbours, we manage noise, dust and working hours with care.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and the amount of groundwork needed. As a guide, small upgrades (repairs, new edging, minor safe surfacing) often start from £3,000–£10,000. Mid-size playground refurbishments with new zones and equipment can be £20,000–£60,000. Larger schemes combining sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and drainage improvements may run £70,000–£200,000+.
Timescales depend on scope and whether works are phased around term time. Minor surfacing or small growing areas may take 2–5 days. A typical playground redesign with safe surfacing and new features often takes 2–6 weeks. Full grounds redevelopment with drainage, sports surfaces and multiple zones can take 6–12+ weeks. Weather, access restrictions and lead times for equipment can affect the programme.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, but some elements can require approval, especially new structures, fencing, lighting, major level changes or works near boundaries. If your site is in a conservation area or has specific conditions, extra checks may apply. We review your proposals, flag likely requirements and help prepare drawings and specifications for any applications or council queries before work begins.

For learning spaces, we design outdoor classrooms with pergolas, seating, chalkboards and storage. Wildlife gardens can include native hedging, log piles and pond-free habitat features, while growing areas suit raised beds and polytunnels. We guide you through samples, durability, slip resistance and maintenance needs.
