Schools and nurseries around Sidcup need outdoor spaces that work hard in every season. From playground design to outdoor classrooms and quiet zones, we create practical layouts that reduce congestion and improve supervision. We regularly work near Sidcup High Street and Foots Cray Meadows, where sites often need careful access planning. Every scheme is designed around safeguarding, durability and easy maintenance.
Sidcup is a well-established suburb with strong schools and plenty of green space, and we tailor our work to match. Whether your site sits alongside 1930s semis, Victorian houses or modern developments, we plan boundaries, sightlines and drop-off routes accordingly. In the DA14 and DA15 postcodes, we often see mixed ground conditions and varying drainage performance. Our designs account for wear patterns, shade, and the realities of busy term-time use.
We start with a site survey, risk-led design and clear phasing to keep your school running safely. You’ll receive a detailed specification for safe surfacing, sports surfaces, growing areas and adventure play equipment, plus a maintenance plan. Our teams arrive when agreed, keep the site tidy, and communicate daily with your nominated contact. Local schools trust us for transparent pricing, robust build quality and a finish that stands up to heavy footfall.
We know the access constraints and parking considerations common around Sidcup Place and nearby residential roads. In the school grounds Sidcup area, we often allow for clay-heavy soils, tree roots and variable drainage, especially close to green corridors. We also plan logistics to minimise disruption at drop-off and pick-up times. Where required, we align specifications with London Borough of Bexley expectations and relevant safety standards.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and how much new equipment is included. As a guide, small refresh works (repairs, edging, minor safe surfacing) often start from £3,000–£10,000. Mid-sized upgrades with new zones and surfacing typically sit around £15,000–£45,000. Full redevelopments with sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and drainage can range from £60,000–£200,000+. We provide itemised budgets after a site survey.
Timescales depend on phasing, access and the amount of groundwork required. A small safe-surfacing replacement or new quiet zone can take 2–5 days. A multi-zone scheme with playground design, growing areas and new paths is commonly 2–6 weeks. Larger projects including sports surfaces, drainage and substantial excavation can take 6–12+ weeks. Term-time working hours, deliveries and weather can all affect the programme.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, but it depends on what’s being installed and where. New fencing, lighting, significant changes to levels, drainage outfalls, or works near boundaries can trigger approvals or conditions. If your site is near protected trees or has specific constraints, extra checks may be needed. We review the scope, advise what’s likely required, and can help prepare drawings and documentation for the London Borough of Bexley if needed.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for installed hard landscaping elements such as paving, kerbs, edging, bases and specified surfacing systems, subject to normal use and maintenance. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to play equipment, artificial surfaces and specialist products, and we pass those details to you at handover. We also offer a post-completion check to address any snagging promptly and keep your site performing as intended.
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 areas, and porous tarmac or MUGA surfaces for sport. For learning, we build outdoor classrooms with seating, shade structures and storage, plus raised beds and wildlife gardens. We guide you through colour choices, durability, slip resistance and maintenance so the final scheme fits your site and budget.
