Schools around SW2 need outdoor spaces that work hard every day, whatever the weather. We create playground design, outdoor classrooms and sports surfaces for sites near Tulse Hill station and across nearby Brixton and Herne Hill. Our layouts balance free play with structured activity, with clear sightlines for supervision. Every element is planned for safety, drainage and long-term maintenance.
Tulse Hill’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and post-war estates often means school sites have tight boundaries, mature trees and varied levels. We’re used to working with older perimeter walls, narrow access routes and shared driveways where deliveries must be carefully timed. Whether you’re upgrading a small EYFS yard or a full KS2 playground, we design around the realities of Lambeth plots. The result is a practical, attractive school grounds tulse hill area solution that suits daily routines.
We start with a site survey, safeguarding-aware logistics plan and a clear scope of works. You’ll receive concept options, material samples and a programme that minimises disruption during term time where possible. Our installs prioritise compliant safe surfacing, robust edging and tidy finishes, with handover notes for caretakers. Local schools and homeowners trust us for transparent communication, clean working practices and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
We understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Lambeth, including access restrictions, neighbour considerations and delivery timing near busy routes. Ground conditions can vary from compacted sub-bases to tree-rooted edges, so we specify the right build-up and drainage. Parking and loading around SW2 often needs planning, especially near Brockwell Park on peak days. Our method statements and phased programmes keep sites safe, tidy and predictable.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and how much ground preparation is needed. As a guide, small upgrades such as a quiet zone or growing area often start from £3,000–£8,000. New safe surfacing and line marking for a medium playground is commonly £12,000–£35,000. Larger schemes combining playground design, sports surfaces and outdoor classrooms can range from £40,000–£120,000+ depending on specification and phasing.
Timescales depend on access, weather, curing times and whether you’re installing multiple zones. A small area (e.g., planters, seating, minor surfacing) is often 2–5 days. A typical playground resurfacing with drainage and edging may take 2–4 weeks. Full redevelopments with adventure play, outdoor classrooms and sports surfaces usually run 4–10 weeks, often phased to keep parts of the site usable.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, especially like-for-like surfacing, planting, and minor structures, but rules can change with lighting, fencing heights, drainage outfalls, or works near boundaries and trees. If your site is close to protected trees or has restrictions, approvals may be required. We flag likely permissions early, liaise with your team and suppliers, and ensure designs meet safety standards and any Lambeth requirements before work begins.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our installation, covering issues caused by defects in our build such as sub-base failure, poor fixing, or edging movement (subject to normal use and maintenance). Manufacturer warranties apply separately to products like surfacing systems, play equipment and timbers, and we pass those details over at handover. We also offer aftercare guidance so caretakers can keep surfaces and planting performing well.
Options include wetpour or rubber mulch safe surfacing, resin-bound pathways, artificial sports turf, and robust block or asphalt play courts. For learning and nature, we build outdoor classrooms with pergolas or canopies, raised growing beds, wildlife gardens, log seating and sensory planting. Adventure play can use timber trails, boulders and climbing elements with compliant fall zones. We help you choose based on age groups, budget, maintenance capacity and curriculum aims.
