Schools and community settings around SE15 need outdoor spaces that work hard every day. From adventure play and quiet zones to wildlife gardens and outdoor classrooms, we shape grounds that support curriculum goals and active play. Our designs consider supervision lines, circulation, and inclusive access from the start. We regularly work near Peckham Rye Park and around Queen’s Road, where busy sites demand smart logistics.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often means tight access, shared boundaries and limited storage space on site. That experience translates well to school grounds peckham area projects where deliveries, safeguarding and phased works matter. We plan around term dates, neighbours and noise-sensitive periods. Whether you’re in Nunhead, Camberwell or East Dulwich, we tailor layouts to the space you actually have.
We start with a site survey, risk-led concept plan and a clear proposal covering surfacing, drainage and edging details. Installation is managed by a dedicated foreman, with daily tidy-downs and secure storage arrangements. You’ll get transparent timelines, documented materials, and handover guidance for maintenance. Local clients trust us for consistent communication and finishes that stay safe and attractive year after year.
Working across the London Borough of Southwark, we’re used to restricted access, controlled parking and delivery windows—especially near Peckham Library and busy routes around SE15. Ground conditions can vary from compacted made ground to heavy clay, so we specify the right sub-bases and drainage. We also plan safeguarding-friendly compounds and clear pedestrian routes. Where boundaries meet neighbouring gardens, we protect fencing and keep noise and dust tightly managed.

Costs depend on surfacing type, ground preparation and the mix of features. As a guide, safe surfacing often starts from £90–£160 per m² installed, while sports surfacing and line marking can run £120–£220 per m² depending on build-up. Outdoor classrooms and shelters commonly range from £6,000–£25,000+. A site survey in SE15 lets us price accurately around access and drainage needs.
Smaller upgrades such as a new quiet zone, edging and planting can take 3–7 working days. A full playground redesign with excavation, sub-base, safe surfacing and equipment typically runs 2–6 weeks. Larger schemes with sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and multiple zones may take 6–12 weeks, often phased around term dates. Timescales change with weather, access for deliveries, and any drainage or utility diversions required.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, but some elements can trigger approvals—such as larger structures, lighting, fencing changes, or works near protected trees. If the site is in a conservation area or has specific conditions, extra checks may apply. We review constraints, advise on likely requirements, and can support drawings and documentation for submissions. Where needed, we coordinate with Southwark guidance and your safeguarding policies.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for agreed elements of the build, covering installation defects such as failed fixings, poor levels, and incorrect construction of specified sub-bases. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for products like surfacing systems, timbers, and play equipment. We’ll explain what’s covered for each component in your proposal and provide maintenance guidance to help preserve performance and safety over time.
We offer wet-pour rubber, rubber mulch, resin-bound paths, artificial grass play zones, and robust tarmac or polymeric sports surfaces. For learning spaces, options include timber or steel-framed shelters, pergolas, seating circles, chalk walls and sensory planting. Wildlife gardens can include log piles, ponds (where appropriate), native hedging and meadow areas. We help you choose based on budget, supervision needs, inclusivity, maintenance capacity and year-round durability.
