Schools across Wandsworth Town and Southfields need outdoor spaces that work hard every day. We design and build playgrounds, quiet zones and sports areas that suit your site and timetable. Whether you’re near Wandsworth Common or King George's Park, we plan layouts that improve supervision, flow and safeguarding. Every element is specified for durability, drainage and year-round use.
The school grounds wandsworth area includes a mix of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, plus newer developments around SW18. That variety often means tight access, mixed levels and existing services to work around. We’re used to upgrading tired tarmac, reworking compacted soil and creating greener zones without disrupting neighbouring properties. Our designs respect the character of the site while adding modern, practical features.
We start with a site survey, risk-led design and clear phasing to keep pupils safe. You’ll receive transparent specifications for safe surfacing, edging, drainage and planting, with options to match budget and maintenance capacity. Our team arrives when agreed, keeps the site tidy and communicates daily with your point of contact. Local clients choose us for dependable delivery, careful workmanship and long-lasting results.
In the school grounds in London Borough of Wandsworth, we often find compacted clay soils, tree roots near boundaries and busy streets that affect deliveries. We plan access, parking and material drops with your site team and local restrictions in mind. Drainage and fall design are prioritised to reduce puddling on play and sports zones. Where sites sit close to homes, we use quieter methods and tidy logistics to minimise disruption.

Costs vary by size, surfacing type and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, small upgrades such as a quiet zone, edging and planting can start from £5,000–£15,000. New safe surfacing and play layouts commonly fall in the £20,000–£80,000 range. Larger schemes with sports surfaces, drainage, lighting and multiple zones can exceed £100,000. We provide itemised options to suit your budget.
Timescales depend on scope and phasing. A small area refresh or a wildlife garden typically takes 1–2 weeks. Installing safe surfacing, adventure play elements and new paths often takes 2–6 weeks, especially if groundwork and drainage are needed. Full-site redevelopments with sports surfaces and multiple zones can run 6–12+ weeks. Weather, access constraints and lead times for equipment can also affect the programme.
Many school grounds improvements can be completed under permitted development, but it depends on factors such as fencing heights, lighting, structures, drainage outfalls and whether the site is listed or in a conservation area. We review the proposal, check constraints and advise what approvals may be required. If needed, we can supply drawings and specifications to support applications and ensure works align with safeguarding and safety standards.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for installed landscaping elements, covering issues arising from installation defects. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to play equipment, surfacing systems, membranes and specialist sports finishes, and we’ll explain those at specification stage. The warranty does not cover misuse, vandalism, or lack of routine maintenance, but we’ll advise on care plans. Any snagging is handled promptly with clear reporting and fixes.
We offer playground design with wet-pour rubber, rubber mulch, artificial grass, bonded gravel and resin-bound paths, depending on safety and maintenance needs. Outdoor classrooms can include timber pergolas, amphitheatre seating, chalk walls and covered storage. Wildlife gardens often use native hedging, pond-dipping areas (where suitable) and log habitats, while growing areas can be raised beds and polytunnels. We guide you through options based on budget, supervision and curriculum goals.
