Pimlico schools need outdoor spaces that work hard all year, from breaktimes to PE and outdoor lessons. We design and build playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, wildlife gardens and growing areas with clear supervision lines and robust finishes. Working across SW1, we’re used to tight access and busy streets near Pimlico tube station and Tate Britain. The result is a site that looks smart, performs well and supports pupil wellbeing.
The Pimlico area is known for elegant garden squares, Regency townhouses and mansion blocks, and many schools sit within period conversions or compact sites. That often means limited storage, shared boundaries and careful noise management for neighbours. Our team plans layouts that maximise usable space without compromising safeguarding. If your grounds connect to community routes around Victoria, Westminster or Chelsea, we also factor in footfall and gate locations.
We start with a site survey, risk-aware concept design and clear phasing to keep schools operational. You’ll receive specifications for safe surfacing, sports surfaces and drainage, plus options for biodiversity and curriculum links. We coordinate deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, and we keep communication simple for site managers and governors. Homeowners and schools trust us for tidy workmanship, accountable project management and lasting results.
Sites in the City of Westminster often involve controlled parking, timed deliveries and strict neighbour considerations. Around Dolphin Square and St George's Square, access can be narrow, so we plan smaller drops and efficient on-site storage. We also account for hardstanding, mature trees and existing services common on established Pimlico plots. Our approach keeps projects compliant, safe and practical for day-to-day school operations in the school grounds pimlico area.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and equipment. As a guide, safe surfacing and line marking might start from £80–£140 per m², while sports surfaces and base build-ups are often £120–£220 per m². A small outdoor classroom or quiet zone can range from £6,000–£18,000, and a full playground design with adventure play can run £25,000–£120,000+. We provide itemised budgets after a site visit.
Most projects take 2–8 weeks on site, depending on scope and access. A single area such as a quiet zone or growing beds may be completed in 1–2 weeks, while a full playground redesign with safe surfacing, drainage and equipment typically needs 4–10 weeks. Term-time phasing, delivery restrictions in SW1, ground conditions and service diversions can all affect the programme. We agree milestones before work starts.
Many school ground improvements are permitted, especially like-for-like surfacing, planting, and minor landscaping. However, planning or landlord consent may be needed for new fencing, lighting, significant level changes, large structures, or work affecting trees. In the City of Westminster there can also be conditions linked to conservation areas and neighbour amenity. We check constraints early, advise what’s likely required, and can support drawings and submissions where needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our landscaping installations, covering issues such as settlement caused by poor preparation, edging failure, and defects in installed bases and finishes when used as intended. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for play equipment, surfacing systems and specialist sports products, and we’ll pass those details to you. We also offer maintenance guidance to protect performance and appearance over time.
We tailor designs to age groups, supervision needs and curriculum goals. Popular options include wetpour or rubber mulch safe surfacing, resin-bound paths, artificial grass for multi-use zones, and porous asphalt for sports areas. For outdoor classrooms we use durable timber, composite seating, pergolas and weatherproof storage, while wildlife gardens can include ponds, log piles and native hedging. We present samples, 3D visuals where helpful, and value-engineer to match budget.
