Keeping school grounds presentable and safe takes more than a quick mow. We support sites across SW19, including near Wandle Park and the River Wandle, with planned maintenance and fast call-outs. Our team handles lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control to reduce slip, trip and visibility risks. Whether it’s a primary playground or a larger campus, we help you stay on top of standards.
Colliers Wood is a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern apartments, and the same variety shows up in school sites—tight access routes, shared boundaries and compact storage areas. We’re used to working around South Wimbledon and Tooting where parking and deliveries need planning. For larger grounds closer to Mitcham, we can scale up with sports pitch care and seasonal planting schedules. Every plan is tailored to the space you actually have, not an off-the-shelf checklist.
We start with a site walkover, risk notes and a clear maintenance calendar covering weekly, monthly and seasonal tasks. You’ll get consistent crews, tidy finishes, and photo updates where needed for estates teams and governors. We prioritise safeguarding-friendly working practices, clear signage and punctual arrivals. Local schools and homeowners trust us because we communicate clearly, keep disruption low, and stand behind our workmanship.
We know the school grounds maintenance Colliers Wood area often includes compact access, mixed surfaces and busy drop-off times. In the London Borough of Merton, we plan around controlled parking, bin stores and shared entrances, keeping routes clear for staff and pupils. Riverside locations near the Wandle can mean heavier shade and damp patches, so we adjust mowing heights, weed treatments and drainage checks. Our crews arrive prepared with the right kit for tight gateways and quick clean-ups.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and what’s included (litter collection, playground checks, hedge trimming, sports pitch care and tree work). As a guide, small sites often start from £250–£500 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with pitches and seasonal planting can be £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £350–£1,500. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Routine visits can take 1–3 hours for smaller sites, and half a day to a full day for larger grounds with multiple zones. One-off clearance or seasonal works (hedge reductions, leaf clearance, pitch renovations) may take 1–3 days depending on access, waste volumes and weather. We agree a schedule that fits drop-off/pick-up times and can split work into quieter windows to reduce disruption.
Most day-to-day maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, litter picks, weed control and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area rules, and some fencing or surfacing changes may need consent. We check constraints, advise on what’s permitted, and can help with applications where required so your site stays compliant.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed elements associated with grounds improvements). For ongoing maintenance, we also guarantee the agreed scope is completed to schedule, with snagging addressed promptly. Planting success depends on season and aftercare, but we’ll set clear expectations and provide care guidance to maximise establishment and longevity.
We can tailor maintenance around your existing site or propose improvements. Popular options include hard-wearing turf or overseeding for high-traffic areas, low-maintenance shrub and bulb schemes for seasonal colour, bark or mulch for beds, and safer edging to keep paths clear. For sports areas, we can recommend pitch grass mixes, aeration regimes and line marking systems. We’ll help you choose options that suit budgets, use levels and term-time constraints.
