Fine Landscaping provides dependable school grounds maintenance across CR0, supporting schools and nurseries near Addiscombe tram stop and around Ashburton Park. We handle routine lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control to keep entrances, paths and play areas presentable. Our team also carries out playground maintenance checks and sports pitch care to reduce hazards and downtime. Visits can be scheduled before school, after hours or during holidays to minimise disruption.
Addiscombe’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often means tighter access, shared driveways and limited on-site storage—conditions we’re used to managing on school and community sites too. We plan equipment and waste removal to suit narrow gates and busy streets, especially around East Croydon and Shirley. Whether it’s a compact nursery garden or larger grounds, we tailor cutting heights, planting plans and tree care to the space available. The result is consistent presentation without unnecessary disruption.
We start with a site walkover and a maintenance calendar covering seasonal planting, mowing frequency, hedge cycles and pitch renovation windows. Risk-aware working is built in: clear signage, tidy edges, and careful timing around drop-off and pick-up. You’ll get straightforward reporting, photo updates if required, and quick turnaround on reactive tasks. Many local clients choose us for reliable attendance, clean workmanship and a premium finish that lasts.
Working across the London Borough of Croydon, we’re familiar with busy roadside access, parking limitations and the need for quiet, considerate working. In the school grounds maintenance Addiscombe area, we often see compact service entrances and high footfall near parks such as Addiscombe Railway Park and Leslie Park. We plan waste loading, tool movements and safeguarding-friendly working zones accordingly. Grass growth and weed pressure can change quickly, so we adjust visit frequency with the seasons.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, pitch work and playground checks). As a guide, small sites often start from around £250–£450 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with sports pitches and tree care may be £700–£1,800+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £300–£1,500 depending on waste volume and access.
Routine visits for smaller sites commonly take 1–3 hours, while larger schools may need a half day to a full day per visit. Seasonal tasks—such as hedge reductions, pitch renovations, tree works or major weed control—can add extra time and may be planned for inset days or holidays. Timescales depend on access, weather, grass growth, safeguarding constraints and whether waste can be stored or must be removed each visit.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, litter collection, hedge trimming, planting and general playground upkeep—doesn’t require planning permission. However, certain tree works may be affected by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area controls, and some sites have specific noise or working-hour expectations. We check relevant restrictions, liaise with site managers, and can help confirm whether permissions are needed before any major pruning, removals or structural changes.
We stand behind our workmanship and provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements we supply and fit, such as hard landscaping features associated with grounds improvements. For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee scheduled attendance, agreed standards and clear rectification where something hasn’t met the specification. Living materials (turf, plants) are covered based on season, aftercare and watering responsibility. All terms are confirmed in writing before work starts.
Alongside maintenance, we can recommend practical upgrades such as robust turf or seed mixes for high-wear areas, bark or rubber play surfacing repairs, edging solutions to reduce strimming, and seasonal planting schemes for entrances. For sports areas, options include overseeding, topdressing and line marking support. We’ll assess footfall, shade, drainage and budget, then propose choices that are durable, safe and easy to maintain long term.
