Holland Park schools sit alongside high-footfall routes near the Design Museum and the park itself, so grounds need to look sharp every day. Fine Landscaping delivers structured maintenance that covers lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control. We also handle playground maintenance and sports pitch care to keep surfaces safe and usable. Work can be scheduled around drop-off, pick-up and events to reduce disruption.
The Holland Park area is known for large Victorian houses, mansion conversions and well-kept period properties, and many school sites reflect that same heritage. Boundaries often include mature trees, formal hedging and ornamental beds that need careful, consistent attention. We’re used to tighter access and shared driveways around W11 and W14, where equipment choice and timing matter. Our team adapts maintenance plans to match both modern play areas and traditional landscaped grounds.
We start with a site walkover, risk notes and a seasonal plan covering mowing heights, pruning windows and pitch renovation dates. Visits are logged, and any issues—trip hazards, broken edging, damaged fencing or failing turf—are reported with clear recommendations. You’ll get dependable attendance, tidy finishes and proactive problem-solving. Many local clients choose us because we communicate clearly and keep sites looking cared-for week after week.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea means factoring in controlled parking, school street restrictions and narrow access points. Around Kensington and Notting Hill, mature trees and shade can thin turf and encourage moss, so we tailor mowing height, aeration and overseeding. We also plan quieter, low-emission kit where needed and keep waste removal organised for busy frontages. Our schedules are built to fit term times and safeguarding routines.

Costs vary with site size, visit frequency and whether you need specialist sports pitch care or tree works. As a guide, small nursery grounds often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger school sites commonly fall between £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups, seasonal planting or pitch renovations are usually priced separately after a survey. We’ll itemise tasks so you can compare like-for-like.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller sites and 4–8 hours for larger grounds, depending on mowing area, hedge lengths and litter levels. Playground maintenance checks and sports pitch tasks may add time, especially during renovation periods. Access constraints, parked cars and safeguarding arrangements can also affect duration. We agree a visit plan in advance and can split work across multiple shorter visits if that suits the school day.
Most ongoing maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and waste storage or larger changes may have site-specific requirements. We check constraints before starting and can liaise with the council where needed. If permissions are required, we’ll advise on the best route and timings.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on eligible installation work we carry out (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed elements), covering workmanship and structural integrity under normal use. Routine maintenance tasks are supported by clear service standards, visit logs and prompt rectification if something hasn’t been completed as agreed. Living materials like turf and planting are assessed case-by-case because weather, wear and irrigation affect outcomes.
We can tailor planting schemes for term-time impact and low maintenance, using hardy perennials, bulbs, evergreen structure and pollinator-friendly shrubs. For sports areas, options include improved turf care programmes, overseeding, topdressing and drainage-friendly renovation approaches. Playground zones can be kept tidy with edging, safer surfacing transitions and robust shrub borders to reduce litter blow-in. We’ll recommend choices based on site use, shade, budget and maintenance capacity.
