Canary Wharf schools and nurseries need grounds that look professional every day, not just on open evenings. We provide reliable lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance, sports pitch care, seasonal planting, tree care, weed control and more. Working near One Canada Square and Jubilee Park, our teams plan visits around drop-off, pick-up and after-school clubs. You get a consistent finish, clear reporting, and a site that stays welcoming in all seasons.
The local setting brings its own challenges: modern high-rise developments, waterfront walkways and managed communal spaces are common across E14. In the Isle of Dogs and Poplar, access routes, service lifts and loading bays often dictate how equipment and green waste are moved. We’re used to maintaining courtyards, roof terraces, podium gardens and compact school grounds where every square metre matters. Our approach suits contemporary landscaping and the high expectations of modern living nearby.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement, and a maintenance schedule that matches term dates and safeguarding requirements. Visits are logged, issues are flagged early (trip hazards, damaged edging, worn goalmouths), and work is completed to an agreed standard. Fine Landscaping is based in South London, around 45 minutes away, so you get a dependable team without inflated central-London pricing. We’re tidy, punctual, and we leave play and sports areas ready for use.
In the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, many sites sit on compact plots with hard landscaping, raised planters and wind exposure from tall buildings. We adapt mowing heights, irrigation checks and planting choices to cope with shade, reflected heat and gusts around waterfront developments. Access and parking can be tight near Crossrail Place and E14 service roads, so we plan loading times and use quieter, smaller kit where needed. This makes school grounds maintenance Canary Wharf area sites smoother and safer.

Costs vary with site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground and pitch checks). As a guide, small sites often start from £250–£500 per month for weekly/fortnightly visits, while larger schools with sports pitches and tree care can range from £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £350–£1,200. We’ll survey and provide a tailored schedule.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for a compact site, or half a day to a full day for larger grounds with multiple areas. Sports pitch care, seasonal planting and tree work add time, especially in peak growth periods. Access constraints around modern developments, safeguarding sign-in procedures, and waste removal routes can also affect duration. We agree visit windows in advance and can work before school starts or after hours.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and standard planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work may need checks if a Tree Preservation Order applies or if the site sits within a conservation area, and some playground repairs or surface changes can have specific compliance requirements. For school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we’ll help you confirm any permissions and keep records for your site file.
