Response within 24 hours
Schools around Bexleyheath, Crayford and DA5 need grounds that look professional and stay safe in all seasons. We handle lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control to keep entrances, paths and green spaces tidy. For sites near Danson Park or along Bexley High Street, we schedule visits to reduce disruption at drop-off and pick-up. Expect clear reporting, consistent standards and a site that always feels cared for.
The London Borough of Bexley mixes Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and newer developments, and school sites reflect that variety. Some grounds have mature boundaries and tight access, while others include large playing fields and open perimeter planting. We’re used to managing tree care near buildings, keeping hedges off footpaths, and maintaining lawns that cope with heavy use. Our approach suits both compact urban schools and larger campuses.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a seasonal maintenance plan that covers lawns, pitches, beds, trees and play areas. Visits are timed around assemblies, exams and after-school clubs, with tidy-up included every time. You’ll get straightforward communication and documented work completed, so caretakers and governors can see what’s been done. Many clients choose us for reliable attendance, neat finishes and consistent safeguarding-minded working practices.
Bexley sites often combine shaded edges, compact access routes and high footfall around gates and paths. We plan machinery and waste removal with parking and neighbour considerations in mind, especially near busier routes by Bexley High Street. Seasonal growth can be strong in sheltered gardens, so hedge trimming and weed control are timed to keep sightlines clear. Where mature trees are present, we prioritise safe clearances and sensible pruning cycles.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and what’s included (lawns, hedges, litter, pitches, trees and planting). As a guide, smaller sites may start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with sports pitches and extensive borders can be £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are often £350–£1,500+. We’ll survey and provide a tailored schedule and budget.
Most routine visits take 1–4 hours depending on mowing area, hedge lengths, litter levels and whether playground maintenance checks are included. Larger schools with pitches, multiple lawns and extensive borders may need a half day to a full day per visit. Timescales also change with the season—spring growth and autumn leaf fall take longer. We agree a visit plan that fits around school hours and events.
Most routine grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and schools may have internal policies for contractors and safeguarding. We check constraints before starting, advise on any permissions needed, and work to safe practices and agreed site procedures throughout.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works (such as hard landscaping elements we build as part of site improvements), covering workmanship and installation-related defects. Routine maintenance outcomes depend on weather, usage and site conditions, but we stand by our service standards: if something we’ve done isn’t right, we’ll return to put it right promptly. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing.
We tailor options to the school’s priorities and budget. Seasonal planting can include low-maintenance perennials, pollinator-friendly mixes and hardy shrubs for year-round structure. Sports pitch care may involve aeration, overseeding, top-dressing and line marking planning, while playground maintenance focuses on safe surfacing edges, clear zones and tidy borders. We’ll recommend choices based on wear levels, shade, drainage and the look you want.
