In W8 and W14, we regularly work around narrow service routes, basement lightwells and enclosed courtyards. Our approach suits compact urban sites as well as larger grounds near Holland Park and South Kensington. We plan equipment, waste removal and timings to fit busy school days.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, sports pitch care and playground maintenance). As a guide, smaller sites may start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area grounds can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800. We’ll survey the site and provide a tailored schedule and budget.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for compact sites, and 4–8 hours (or a full day) for larger grounds with multiple zones. Seasonal tasks such as hedge reductions, tree care, pitch renovations or planting can add time and may be planned during holidays. Timescales depend on access, waste removal routes, weather and safeguarding requirements. We agree visit windows in advance to avoid disruption.
Most maintenance activities—mowing, weed control, hedge trimming, litter collection and routine playground checks—don’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, which are common locally. If fencing, surfacing changes or new structures are involved, permissions may be needed. We check RBKC constraints, advise on what’s required and can help with the paperwork where appropriate.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works (such as hard landscaping elements we supply and fit), covering defects due to installation. For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee agreed tasks are completed to the specification, with any missed items corrected promptly. Living materials (turf, plants) depend on season, watering and site conditions, but we provide clear care guidance and aftercare support.
We tailor options to usage, safety and budgets. For seasonal planting, popular choices include hardy perennials, bulbs and low-maintenance shrubs suited to shade or sun. Sports pitch care can include aeration, overseeding, topdressing and line marking plans. Playground maintenance may involve bark or rubber surface checks, edging repairs and safer fall-zone management. We recommend options after assessing footfall, drainage and term-time access.
