Tooting’s schools and nurseries need outdoor spaces that work hard every day, from playtime to PE and after-school clubs. We create playground design, adventure play and quiet zones that support behaviour, inclusion and confidence. Whether you’re near Tooting Broadway station or closer to Tooting Bec Common, we plan layouts that improve flow and supervision. Every scheme is tailored to your site, age ranges and safeguarding needs.
Our team is based in Norbury, around 15 minutes from SW17, so site visits and after-hours work are straightforward. In the school grounds Tooting area, we often work around tight boundaries, shared access routes and neighbouring Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions. We’re used to minimising disruption in busy streets and coordinating deliveries. Designs also take account of noise, privacy and the needs of local communities.
We start with a measured survey, risk-aware concept plan and clear phasing so the site stays safe while works progress. You’ll get practical recommendations on safe surfacing, drainage and robust edging to reduce future maintenance. We keep communication simple with agreed timelines, RAMS where required, and tidy handovers. Many clients choose us for school grounds in London Borough of Wandsworth because we deliver dependable finishes and long-term value.
Tooting sites often have limited parking, school-run congestion and narrow access, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal carefully. Ground conditions can vary, and we design sub-bases and drainage to prevent puddling and wear. We’re familiar with working in the London Borough of Wandsworth and can align plans with safeguarding, out-of-hours access and any local constraints. From Tooting Bec to Furzedown, we adapt build methods to each site’s boundaries and neighbours.
