Keeping a school site looking professional takes more than mowing. We provide planned grounds care across Banstead, including lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and playground maintenance. Whether you’re near Banstead High Street or close to Banstead Downs, we maintain clear sightlines, tidy edges and safe surfaces. Sports pitch care, weed control and seasonal planting are scheduled to suit assemblies, fixtures and parents’ evenings.
Our teams know the Banstead area well and regularly work around SM7 sites with tight drop-off zones and busy footpaths. The mix of large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes nearby often means schools and nurseries have high expectations for presentation and safeguarding. We tailor maintenance plans for compact courtyards, larger playing fields and boundary planting. If you’re in Nork or Burgh Heath, we can align visits with local traffic patterns to reduce disruption.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a seasonal schedule covering mowing heights, hedge cycles and pitch renovations. You’ll get clear reporting, photo updates if required, and reliable visit windows so staff know what to expect. Our work is carried out by trained operatives using professional equipment, with careful attention to access routes, gates and safeguarding procedures. Many clients stay with us because we’re consistent, responsive and proactive about issues before they escalate.
Banstead’s downland setting brings exposed areas, fast-drying turf and wind-stress on hedges and young trees. We adjust mowing heights, feeding and irrigation advice to suit these conditions and the wear from daily use. Access can be tight around school entrances, so we plan parking and unloading to keep routes clear and compliant. For school grounds maintenance in Reigate and Banstead Borough, we also factor in local waste rules and responsible green-waste removal.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, pitch work and playground checks). As a guide, small sites often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with sports pitches and tree care can be £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800 depending on labour and waste removal.
A routine visit for a smaller site can take 2–4 hours, while larger grounds with multiple lawns, hedges and sports areas may take a full day or require a two-person team. Seasonal tasks affect timings: hedge cuts, leaf clearance, pitch renovation and planting days take longer than standard mowing and litter picks. Access restrictions, safeguarding procedures and weather can also extend visit duration.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission, including mowing, hedge trimming, weeding and routine playground upkeep. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area controls, and some fencing or surfacing changes may require approval. We check constraints before work starts and can advise on permissions, notices and best practice so the site stays compliant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements (such as hard landscaping and constructed features completed by our team), covering defects in workmanship under normal use. Routine maintenance tasks like mowing and hedge trimming are quality-checked each visit, with any missed items rectified promptly. We also provide clear service schedules and reporting so standards remain consistent throughout the year.
Alongside regular care, we can recommend seasonal planting schemes, low-maintenance shrub borders, wildlife-friendly areas, and robust turf solutions for high-wear zones. For sports areas, options include overseeding, topdressing, line marking and drainage improvements. Playground enhancements can include safer edging, bark or rubber surface maintenance, and shade planting with appropriate species. We’ll assess use patterns, budgets and safeguarding needs to help choose the right approach for the Banstead area.
