Twickenham schools and nurseries need outdoor spaces that work hard all year, from PE to playtime. We design and build playgrounds, outdoor classrooms and wildlife gardens with practical circulation and clear supervision lines. Whether you’re near Twickenham Stadium or closer to Marble Hill Park, we tailor layouts to your site and age groups. Safe surfacing, sports surfaces and growing areas are planned together so the whole ground feels cohesive.
Local sites often sit alongside Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and 1930s family homes, which can mean tighter access and shared boundaries. In the TW1 and TW2 postcodes, we frequently work around mature trees, shaded corners and mixed drainage conditions. Our designs make space for quiet zones as well as high-energy adventure play, helping schools manage behaviour and flow. If you’re in St Margarets, Whitton or Richmond, we’ll match materials and detailing to the character of the neighbourhood.
We start with a site survey, risk-led design and a clear phasing plan to minimise disruption during term time. You’ll receive itemised options for surfacing, equipment and planting, plus maintenance guidance for caretakers. Our team manages groundworks, edging, fencing interfaces and finishing so the site is left tidy and compliant. Homeowners and school leaders choose us for reliable scheduling, transparent communication and workmanship backed by a long warranty.
For school grounds Twickenham area projects, we plan around tight access, parking controls and considerate working near neighbours. In the school grounds in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we often encounter clay-heavy soils and tree roots that influence drainage and surfacing build-ups. We specify robust edging and sub-bases to prevent rutting in wet months, and we coordinate deliveries to suit local streets. Where sites border period homes, we keep finishes neat and sympathetic.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and how much ground preparation is needed. As a guide, small upgrades (e.g., a quiet zone or growing area) often start around £5,000–£15,000. Mid-sized playground refurbishments with safe surfacing and new features commonly fall in the £20,000–£60,000 range. Larger schemes combining sports surfaces, outdoor classrooms and multiple zones can be £70,000–£200,000+.
Timescales depend on phasing, ground conditions and the scope of works. A simple surfacing replacement or small zone can take 1–2 weeks. A full playground redesign with drainage improvements, new equipment and planting typically takes 3–8 weeks. Larger multi-area projects with sports surfaces and outdoor classrooms can run 8–14 weeks. Term-time working hours, delivery access and weather can extend programmes.
Many school grounds improvements are permitted, but it depends on the site, boundaries, lighting, fencing heights and any listed status nearby. If your school is close to heritage assets or conservation areas, extra checks may be needed. We review constraints early, advise on likely approvals and can support drawings and documentation for submissions. Where required, we coordinate with the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames guidance and your school’s governance.
