Fine Landscaping delivers dependable grounds care for schools across SE12, with schedules that fit term time and holidays. Whether you’re near the Lee Green crossroads or close to Manor House Gardens, we keep lawns, borders and hardstanding looking professional. Our teams handle lawn care, weed control and litter collection as standard. We also support playground maintenance and sports pitch care to reduce hazards and downtime.
Lee Green is a well-connected residential area with strong local amenities, and we’re used to working around busy drop-off times and tight access. Many surrounding streets feature Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, which often means narrow gates, shared driveways and limited on-site storage. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. If your site borders neighbouring homes, we also manage noise and visibility with considerate working practices.
You’ll get a clear maintenance plan covering routine visits, seasonal tasks and priority call-outs. We carry out risk-aware inspections, log issues (such as trip edges, worn turf or overhanging branches) and agree actions before work begins. All green waste is removed and disposed of responsibly, and we leave paths and entrances clean after every visit. Local schools trust us because we’re consistent, communicative and easy to book—only around 30 minutes from our Norbury base.
We’re familiar with school sites across the London Borough of Lewisham, including access routes near Lee station and Leegate Shopping Centre. Clay-heavy patches and shaded edges can encourage moss and compaction, so we tailor mowing heights, aeration and weed control accordingly. Where parking is limited, we plan smaller vehicles and timed arrivals. Our approach suits both compact urban playgrounds and larger sports areas serving nearby communities like Hither Green and Blackheath.

Costs vary by site size, visit frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and sports pitch care). As a guide, small sites may start from around £250–£500 per month, while larger schools with weekly visits and seasonal works often fall between £700–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups and pitch renovations are usually priced separately after a site survey.
Routine visits commonly take 1–4 hours depending on the number of zones (lawns, borders, paths, play areas and pitches). Larger sites or those needing tree care, extensive weed control or playground repairs may require a full day or a phased programme over several visits. Weather, term-time access restrictions and waste volumes can all affect timings. We’ll propose a realistic schedule and keep it consistent.
Most routine grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, litter collection, seasonal planting and general playground upkeep—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and some sites have safeguarding or noise requirements set by the council or governors. We check constraints before starting, advise on any permissions needed, and document works so you stay compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on eligible installed works (such as hard landscaping elements and agreed construction repairs), covering workmanship issues under normal use. Routine maintenance tasks like mowing and litter collection are quality-checked each visit, and any concerns are addressed promptly. Planting success depends on season, aftercare and weather, but we’ll specify what’s covered and provide clear care guidance to protect your investment.
We can tailor maintenance and improvements to your site: durable turf and sports seed mixes, seasonal planting schemes for colour and biodiversity, and robust edging to keep paths tidy. For play areas, we can advise on safer surfacing repairs, drainage improvements and practical planting that avoids thorns or allergens where possible. We’ll assess usage, budget and safeguarding needs, then recommend options that are easy to maintain long-term.
