Keeping school grounds presentable and safe takes consistent, professional care. Our team supports schools across SM5, including around Carshalton Ponds and Carshalton Beeches, with planned maintenance that reduces hazards and improves kerb appeal. We cover everything from lawn care and weed control to litter collection and playground checks. Work is scheduled around drop-off, pick-up and events to minimise disruption.
Carshalton’s mix of period properties and green spaces brings varied soil conditions and mature planting. Many sites near The Grove and surrounding residential streets have established hedges, older trees and compacted grass from heavy footfall. We’re used to maintaining grounds alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses as well as 1930s semis, where access can be tight and parking needs planning. Our approach balances neat presentation with practical durability for busy school use.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statements and a clear maintenance plan for each term. Tasks are logged, photos can be provided, and we flag issues early—damaged turf, worn play surfaces, or overhanging branches. You’ll get reliable attendance, tidy workmanship and consistent standards across the year. Local clients trust us because we communicate well, arrive when we say we will, and leave sites clean and secure.
We understand the practicalities of working in the London Borough of Sutton, including school-time access, safeguarding procedures and considerate noise control. In Carshalton, clay-heavy patches and shaded areas near mature trees can encourage moss and weeds, so we tailor treatments and mowing heights. We plan vehicle access and parking to avoid congestion around Hackbridge and Wallington routes. Seasonal planting is chosen for resilience and low-maintenance colour across term times.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, pitches and tree work). As a guide, smaller sites may start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area grounds can be £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are often £350–£1,500. We provide a tailored schedule after a site survey in the Carshalton area.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller grounds, or half a day to a full day for larger sites with multiple zones. Seasonal tasks such as hedge reductions, sports pitch renovation, or tree care can add time and may be planned for holidays. The main factors are access, weather, grass growth rate, leaf fall, and safeguarding requirements. We agree visit windows that fit your timetable and site rules.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control and litter collection—doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree works can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders, conservation area rules, or wildlife legislation, and some boundary changes may require approval. We check constraints before major works and can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Sutton where needed. Our method prioritises compliance, safety and clear documentation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed features completed as part of playground or grounds improvement works). Routine maintenance outcomes can’t be guaranteed against extreme weather or misuse, but we do guarantee consistent attendance, agreed standards and prompt rectification of workmanship issues. If something isn’t right, we return to put it right within an agreed timeframe.
Alongside school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Sutton, we can advise on durable, practical upgrades: hard-wearing turf or reinforced grass for high-traffic routes, low-maintenance seasonal planting schemes, bark or rubber play surfacing, and robust edging to reduce strimming time. For sports areas, options include overseeding mixes and drainage improvements. We’ll recommend choices based on budget, safety, expected wear, and how quickly you need the area back in use.
