From Streatham Common to Streatham High Road, schools need outdoor spaces that work hard in all seasons. We create school grounds that balance active play with calm, structured learning areas. Whether you want adventure play, quiet zones or new growing areas, we plan layouts that reduce pinch points and improve supervision. Every design considers safeguarding, drainage and long-term maintenance.
The Streatham area mixes Victorian and Edwardian streets with mansion flats and newer developments, so access and storage can vary widely. We’re used to working with tight gates, shared driveways and restricted loading near SW16 and SW2. Our team can phase works around term times and deliveries, keeping routes clear and disruption low. Designs are tailored to the site’s footprint, from compact courtyards to larger fields.
We start with a site survey, risk-led design proposals and clear options for surfacing, equipment and planting. You’ll get a detailed scope, programme and communication plan, plus clean, secure working practices. We only use proven materials and install to manufacturer specifications for reliability. Local clients choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent pricing and a finish that lasts.
We regularly deliver school grounds in London Borough of Lambeth, where access, parking controls and neighbour considerations can be strict. Streatham sites often have mixed ground conditions, with compacted soils and runoff points that need careful drainage planning. We schedule deliveries to avoid peak traffic around Streatham Hill and coordinate waste removal efficiently. The result is a safer, cleaner build with fewer delays.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and equipment. As a guide, small upgrades (safe surfacing repairs, minor planting, line marking) often start from £2,500–£8,000. Mid-sized zones such as a new quiet area, growing beds and paths are commonly £10,000–£35,000. Full playground redesigns with adventure play, drainage and sports surfacing can range from £40,000–£150,000+ depending on specification and compliance requirements.
Timescales depend on scope and site access. Minor works like repairs, edging, planting and small surfacing patches can take 2–5 days. A new outdoor classroom or wildlife garden typically takes 1–3 weeks including groundwork. Larger playground and sports surface installations commonly run 3–8 weeks. Lead times for equipment, weather, ground conditions and term-time restrictions can all affect the overall programme.
Many school landscape improvements are permitted, but some elements can require consent—especially new structures, fencing changes, lighting, significant level changes or works affecting trees. If your site is near protected trees or has specific planning conditions, extra checks may apply. We review the proposal against Lambeth guidance, flag any likely approvals early, and can support with drawings and documentation to help your application run smoothly.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for hard landscaping installations such as paving, edging, retaining details and constructed bases, when used and maintained as advised. Manufacturer warranties apply separately for play equipment, artificial surfaces and specialist products. If an issue arises, we arrange an inspection and put it right where it falls within warranty terms. You’ll also receive care guidance to protect performance long term.
Options include wetpour and rubber mulch for safe surfacing, resin-bound paths, block paving, artificial sports turf, and porous solutions to manage runoff. For learning and nature, we design outdoor classrooms with timber seating, pergolas, chalkboards and storage, plus wildlife gardens with native hedging, log piles and pollinator planting. Adventure play can combine timber structures, boulders and balance trails. We help you choose based on age groups, maintenance capacity and budget.
