Schools around Earlsfield station and along Garratt Lane need grounds that look professional and stay safe in all seasons. We provide planned maintenance covering lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, weed control and routine playground upkeep. Whether it’s a small nursery garden or a multi-area campus, we keep outdoor spaces inspection-ready. Our team works with minimal disruption to staff, pupils and neighbours.
Earlsfield’s village feel and busy SW18 streets mean access and timing matter as much as horticulture. We’re used to working near Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and conversions where parking can be limited and gates may be narrow. That local experience helps us plan equipment, waste removal and safe storage efficiently. If your site borders residential gardens, we manage noise, debris and sightlines carefully.
We start with a site walk-through, risk-aware method statement and a clear maintenance schedule. Tasks are logged each visit, with seasonal recommendations for planting, turf health and tree care. You’ll get consistent standards, dependable attendance and tidy handovers after every job. Many local clients trust us because we communicate clearly and deliver what we promise—week after week.
In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we plan visits around peak traffic and school drop-off times, especially near Garratt Lane. Ground conditions can vary close to the River Wandle, so we adjust mowing heights, aeration and drainage measures to protect turf. We also factor in restricted access typical of SW18 sites and arrange waste removal that keeps pavements clear. If needed, we coordinate with site managers on keys, safeguarding and out-of-hours working.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawns, hedges, litter, pitches, trees and playground areas). As a guide, small sites often start from £250–£500 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with sports pitch care and seasonal planting may be £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £300–£1,500. We’ll survey and provide a tailored schedule and range.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for a small site, and 4–8 hours (or a two-person team) for larger grounds with multiple zones. Sports pitch care, tree work and seasonal planting can add time, especially in spring and autumn. Timescales are affected by access, weather, safeguarding requirements and whether waste needs to be removed off-site. We agree visit windows in advance to avoid disrupting lessons and clubs.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, litter collection and routine planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, certain works can need checks, such as significant tree pruning (especially if a Tree Preservation Order applies), changes to fencing, new surfacing, or alterations near boundaries. We’ll flag anything that may require consent and can help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Wandsworth before work starts.
We stand by our workmanship and provide a 10-year warranty on eligible installed elements we supply and fit (for example, certain hard landscaping repairs or new edging and surfacing works agreed in writing). Routine maintenance tasks like mowing, trimming and litter collection are covered by our service standards: if something is missed within the agreed scope, we’ll return to put it right. Warranty terms depend on materials, usage and correct aftercare.
We tailor the approach to your site and budget. Popular options include hard-wearing turf mixes for heavy footfall, low-maintenance seasonal planting schemes, robust hedge species for screening, and safer surfacing repairs around play areas. For pitches, we can specify aeration, topdressing and line-marking plans to suit usage levels. We’ll recommend options based on wear patterns, shade, drainage and the look you want across the school year.
