Busy school sites need consistent care to stay safe and welcoming for pupils, staff and visitors. Our team supports schools across SW2 and SW9 with lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, weed control and seasonal planting. We’re often working near Windrush Square and along the routes around Brixton Market, so we understand the daily footfall and the need for early starts. Expect tidy edges, clear paths and grounds that look cared for all year.
Brixton’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and modern developments means school plots vary from compact courtyards to larger playing fields. In areas like Brixton Hill and Stockwell, access can be tight and storage limited, so we plan equipment and waste removal carefully. Where sites sit close to busy roads, we prioritise visibility, safe pedestrian routes and robust planting that copes with pollution and heavy use. You get a practical maintenance plan built around your timetable and safeguarding requirements.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement, and a seasonal schedule covering mowing, edging, pruning, playground checks and sports pitch care. Visits are logged, photos can be provided for estates teams, and we keep disruption low with quiet, efficient working. If weather or term events change priorities, we adjust quickly and communicate clearly. That dependable service is why clients choose us for school grounds maintenance in the Brixton area.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth means factoring in busy streets, controlled parking and strict school-time access. Around Electric Avenue and Brixton Academy, traffic and deliveries can affect arrival times, so we schedule sensibly and keep visits efficient. Many sites have compact entrances and shared boundaries, so we use the right kit for low-noise, low-mess work. We also plan green waste removal and storage so caretakers aren’t left managing piles of clippings.

Costs vary by site size, visit frequency and what’s included (lawns, hedges, litter, playgrounds, pitches and trees). For smaller school grounds, regular maintenance can start from around £250–£600 per month. Medium sites often fall between £700–£1,500 per month, while larger multi-pitch sites can be £1,800–£4,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are typically £350–£1,500 depending on condition.
A routine visit for a small site may take 1–3 hours, while medium grounds often need half a day. Larger sites with sports pitch care, extensive hedge trimming or tree work can take a full day or multiple visits. Timescales depend on grass growth, weather, access restrictions during drop-off/pick-up, and whether you need playground maintenance or litter collection across the whole campus. We agree visit windows that fit your timetable.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance doesn’t require planning permission. However, certain works can need checks or consent, such as significant tree pruning/removal (especially if a Tree Preservation Order applies), changes to fencing, drainage alterations, or major landscaping. If your school is in a conservation area, extra rules may apply. We’ll flag any likely permissions early and help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Lambeth before work starts.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible installed elements (for example, hard landscaping or constructed features completed by our team). For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee agreed standards: if something we’ve worked on falls short within a reasonable period, we’ll return to put it right. Living elements like turf and planting are covered through clear aftercare guidance and practical, site-specific maintenance plans.
We tailor maintenance around your site and budget, from durable sports turf regimes to low-maintenance planting schemes. Popular options include hard-wearing grass mixes, seasonal bedding displays, pollinator-friendly borders, bark or rubber play-surface topping, and structured hedging for boundaries. For pitches we can add aeration, overseeding and line-marking support. We’ll recommend choices based on footfall, shade, drainage and safeguarding needs, then schedule works around term dates.
