Fine Landscaping provides dependable grounds care for schools across Epsom, from Ewell and Stoneleigh to sites near the Ashley Centre and Epsom Clock Tower. We keep outdoor spaces clean, safe and welcoming with scheduled lawn care, hedge trimming and litter collection. Our team also handles playground maintenance and sports pitch care, so facilities stay usable through the school year. You get consistent results with minimal disruption to pupils and staff.
The Epsom and Ewell Borough mix of period properties, large detached homes and executive developments often comes with mature trees, established hedgerows and larger lawns—conditions that also mirror many school sites locally. We’re used to maintaining grounds that need a smart finish for open days, inspections and community lettings. For schools around KT17, KT18 and KT19, we tailor cutting heights, edging detail and seasonal planting to suit the site’s presentation goals. Whether it’s a compact courtyard or extensive fields, the approach stays thorough and organised.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a practical maintenance plan aligned to term dates. Visits are logged, issues are flagged early, and we prioritise safety items such as trip hazards, overgrown sightlines and slippery leaf build-up. Our crews arrive on time, work discreetly and leave paths, entrances and play zones tidy. Homeowners and school managers choose us for clear communication, consistent standards and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
Epsom’s clay-heavy soils and shaded edges near mature trees can encourage compaction, moss and persistent weeds, so we adjust mowing, aeration and treatments accordingly. Around Epsom Downs and Langley Vale, exposed areas can dry quickly, so we plan watering advice and resilient seasonal planting. We also factor in access and parking constraints near busy routes and school gates, timing visits to avoid peak congestion. Our methods suit both compact urban sites and larger grounds near Horton Country Park.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and the mix of tasks. As a guide, smaller sites may start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits covering mowing, edging and litter collection. Larger grounds with sports pitch care, tree work and seasonal planting often fall between £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups or holiday deep-cleans typically range from £350–£2,000 depending on scope and waste removal.
Most routine visits take 1–4 hours depending on lawn area, hedge lengths and litter levels. Larger sites with multiple zones, sports pitches and playground checks can take a full day or require a two-person team to finish within school-friendly hours. Timescales are affected by weather, leaf fall, growth rate, access restrictions and safeguarding arrangements. We agree visit windows in advance and adjust seasonally to keep standards consistent.
Routine school grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control and litter collection—doesn’t usually require planning permission. However, tree works may be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and some boundary changes can have additional requirements. We can help you check what applies in Epsom and Ewell Borough before any significant pruning or removals. Where permissions are needed, we’ll advise on the correct route and documentation.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements and hard landscaping we carry out as part of improvement works (for example, edging, resurfacing or structural garden features). For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee agreed service standards: tasks completed to specification, sites left tidy, and issues reported promptly. If something isn’t right, we return to put it right within an agreed timeframe. Warranty terms depend on materials, usage and correct aftercare.
We tailor options to safety, durability and year-round appearance. Popular choices include hard-wearing turf and overseeding mixes for pitches, low-maintenance shrub borders, pollinator-friendly seasonal planting, and robust hedge species for privacy and wind protection. For play areas, we can advise on safer surfacing repairs and practical edging solutions. We’ll recommend plants and materials that suit site exposure, soil conditions and your maintenance budget, then schedule works around term dates.
