Greenwich schools need grounds that look professional and perform every day, whether near Greenwich Park or around SE10 by Maze Hill. Fine Landscaping provides planned School Grounds Maintenance that keeps lawns, borders and hard areas clean, safe and presentable. We handle lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control as part of a joined-up schedule. Playground maintenance and sports pitch care are carried out with careful checks and tidy finishes.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich includes a mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and modern waterfront apartments, and school sites reflect that variety with everything from compact courtyards to large playing fields. In Blackheath and Charlton, we often work with heavier soils and exposed lawns that need resilient mowing routines and robust edging. Around Deptford, access and storage can be tighter, so we plan efficient, low-disruption visits. Seasonal planting is chosen to suit microclimates, footfall and safeguarding considerations.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a maintenance plan matched to term dates and events. Visits are logged, issues are flagged early (trip hazards, broken edging, worn turf), and priorities are agreed with your site manager. Our teams arrive prepared, work cleanly, and leave paths and entrances clear. Local clients trust us for consistent standards, transparent communication and a 10-year warranty on eligible installed works.
We’re used to working across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, including SE10 and routes around the Cutty Sark and Old Royal Naval College. Parking and access can be restricted, so we plan arrival times, loading and waste removal to keep gates and pavements clear. Greenwich’s parkland setting can mean leaf drop, shade and moss pressure, especially on north-facing areas. Our maintenance plans adapt with seasonal tasks, safer surfacing checks and tidy perimeter management.

Costs vary with site size, frequency and the mix of tasks. As a guide, small school sites may start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with pitches, hedges and extensive litter collection can be £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are often £350–£1,500+. We’ll survey the site and provide a tailored schedule and itemised estimate.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for a compact site, and 4–8 hours (or a multi-person team) for larger grounds with sports pitches and playground checks. Seasonal works such as turf repairs, hedge reductions, tree care or seasonal planting may add half a day to several days depending on scope. Access, safeguarding requirements, waste volumes and weather all affect timings.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, litter collection, weeding and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and waste disposal must follow duty-of-care requirements. We check constraints, advise on what’s needed, and can help you document works for site records. If permissions are required, we’ll guide you through the process.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on eligible installed works carried out by Fine Landscaping (for example, certain hard landscaping, edging and constructed features), subject to correct use and reasonable maintenance. Routine maintenance tasks such as mowing and litter collection are quality-checked each visit, with issues reported promptly. If something isn’t right, we’ll return to put it right within an agreed timeframe.
We can tailor planting schemes and site features to your budget and safeguarding needs. Popular options include hard-wearing turf and overseeding mixes, low-maintenance shrubs, pollinator-friendly seasonal planting, durable edging, bark or rubber play surfaces, and clear pitch marking systems. For tree care, we recommend species-appropriate pruning and staged crown work. We’ll assess footfall, shade and drainage, then propose practical options with longevity in mind.
