Chelsea schools and nurseries need grounds that look professional and stay safe in daily use. We maintain lawns, borders, hedges and hardstanding, with routine litter collection and careful playground maintenance. Whether you’re near King’s Road or a short walk from the Chelsea Physic Garden, we plan visits around drop-off, lessons and events. Our team keeps entrances, play areas and pitches presentable all year.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea mixes Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, and many education sites sit behind tight frontages or shared access routes. In SW3 and SW10, we often work with compact courtyards, roof terraces and enclosed playgrounds where noise and timing matter. We tailor mowing heights, hedge lines and planting schemes to suit formal layouts and smaller green spaces. Tree care and weed control are handled with an eye on neighbouring properties and safeguarding needs.
We start with a site walkover and a simple maintenance schedule covering lawn care, hedge trimming, seasonal planting, sports pitch care and safety checks. Visits are logged, issues are flagged early, and we keep communication clear for site managers and bursars. Our teams arrive prepared, work tidily, and leave paths and entrances clean. Fine Landscaping is trusted for consistent standards, predictable scheduling and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan loading, permits and visit times carefully. Chelsea’s enclosed gardens and hard-landscaped courtyards can create shade and compaction, so we adjust turf care and aeration accordingly. We also factor in school-run traffic around South Kensington and Fulham when scheduling. Our approach keeps sites neat without blocking entrances or causing avoidable disruption.

Costs vary by site size, access, and visit frequency. For smaller nursery or prep sites in SW3/SW10, regular maintenance can start around £250–£600 per month. Medium sites with lawns, hedges and routine playground checks are often £700–£1,800 per month. Larger grounds with sports pitch care, tree care and seasonal planting may range from £2,000–£6,000+ per month. A site survey gives the most accurate budget.
A typical visit can take 1–3 hours for compact sites, 3–6 hours for medium grounds, and a full day (or more) for larger campuses. Timing depends on lawn area, hedge lengths, number of play zones, and whether sports pitch care or tree work is included. Seasonal peaks (spring growth and autumn leaf fall) can extend visit times. We agree a schedule that fits term dates and site opening hours.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree care can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders, conservation area rules, or wildlife considerations. If you’re making changes to boundaries, surfacing or structures around playgrounds, extra approvals may apply. We check the relevant constraints and can help you follow RBKC guidance before any non-routine work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on relevant installed elements and agreed specifications, giving you peace of mind beyond day-to-day visits. The warranty covers defects linked to our installation or workmanship, subject to normal use and reasonable care. Living materials (turf, plants) are supported with practical aftercare guidance and seasonal checks. We also document visits and actions so standards stay consistent across the year.
We can maintain and refresh a range of finishes and planting styles, from formal clipped hedges and low-allergen borders to robust turf mixes for heavy play. Popular options include seasonal bedding displays, drought-tolerant planting, bark or mulch top-ups, and hard-wearing sports pitch seed blends. For playgrounds, we can maintain safety surfacing edges and drainage channels. We’ll recommend choices based on footfall, shade, safeguarding needs and your budget.
