Beckenham’s leafy character and well-used green spaces set high expectations for school grounds. Many sites sit among Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period conversions, where boundaries can be narrow and mature trees are common. That means careful tree care, precise hedge trimming and tidy waste removal are essential. We tailor maintenance plans for schools in Eden Park, Elmers End and New Beckenham to keep outdoor areas looking consistent across the year.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a seasonal plan covering mowing heights, weed control and planting rotations. Visits are logged, issues are reported fast, and we prioritise safeguarding-friendly working practices. You get clear communication, predictable scheduling and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Local clients trust Fine Landscaping because we turn up on time, work cleanly and leave grounds ready for use.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and what’s included (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground checks and sports pitch care). As a guide, small sites may be £250–£600 per month, mid-sized schools often fall between £700–£1,800 per month, and larger campuses can be £2,000+ per month. Seasonal tasks like tree care or pitch renovations are usually priced separately after a site survey.
Routine visits typically take 1–4 hours for smaller sites and 4–8 hours for larger grounds, depending on mowing area, hedge lengths and litter levels. One-off jobs vary: a full hedge cut might take half a day, while sports pitch renovation can take 1–3 days across multiple visits. Weather, access times, safeguarding requirements and term-time events can all affect scheduling and duration.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, weed control, hedge trimming, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted if a Tree Preservation Order applies or if the site is in a conservation area, and waste disposal must follow duty-of-care rules. We check constraints, advise on what’s permitted, and can help you gather the right approvals before any major tree care or alterations.
Yes. Our work is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to workmanship on installed elements and agreed remedial works we carry out (for example, repairs to edging, minor surfacing fixes or planting bed construction). Routine maintenance outcomes can vary with weather and usage, but we stand by our standards: if something we’ve done isn’t up to spec, we’ll return to put it right promptly within the warranty terms.
We can maintain and refresh a wide range of school landscapes, including hard-wearing sports turf mixes, low-allergen planting schemes, pollinator-friendly borders and robust hedge species. For pitches, options include overseeding blends, topdressing and drainage improvements. For playground areas, we can advise on safer surfaces, edging and clear sightlines. We’ll recommend choices based on budget, wear levels, safeguarding needs and year-round appearance.
