Keeping school outdoor areas presentable and safe takes more than a quick mow. We provide planned maintenance for sites across SE13, including around Lewisham station and Ladywell. Our team covers lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and sports pitch care. The result is a cleaner, safer environment for pupils, staff and visitors all year round.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often means school sites have varied boundaries, access routes and storage space. We’re used to tight service entrances, shared access and safeguarding-friendly working practices. For schools near Mountsfield Park or busier roads, we schedule quieter operations and keep disruption low. Seasonal planting and weed control are planned to suit term times and key events.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a maintenance plan tailored to your grounds. Each visit includes clear checklists covering litter, edging, play areas, shrubs and tree care, with issues flagged early. Our work is consistent, tidy and fully insured, with reliable attendance you can plan around. That’s why clients choose us for school grounds maintenance lewisham area support that stays on top of standards.
We understand the practicalities of working across the London Borough of Lewisham, from busy drop-off zones to restricted on-site parking. Near Lewisham Shopping Centre and surrounding streets, access can be tight, so we plan vehicle size, loading and waste removal in advance. Ground conditions vary from shaded, compacted areas to free-draining spots near the River Ravensbourne, so we adjust mowing height, feeding and weed control accordingly. Our approach keeps surfaces resilient and presentable through heavy footfall.

Costs depend on site size, visit frequency and what’s included (litter picks, hedge trimming, pitch marking, playground checks and seasonal planting). As a guide, smaller sites often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area grounds can be £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £350–£1,500+. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised range before starting.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for compact sites, and 4–8 hours (or a multi-person team) for larger grounds with pitches, extensive hedges and play areas. Seasonal tasks such as aeration, top dressing, tree works or replanting can add time. Timescales are affected by access, safeguarding arrangements, weather, waste volume and the condition of lawns and borders. We agree visit windows that fit your timetable.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area rules, and some fencing or surfacing changes may need approval. We’ll help you check constraints with the London Borough of Lewisham, confirm what’s permitted, and keep records for compliance and auditing.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible installed elements where applicable (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed features completed as part of improvement works). For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee agreed visit schedules, clear reporting and prompt rectification of any missed items within the scope. Planting is supported with practical aftercare guidance and optional watering visits. Warranty terms depend on materials, usage and site conditions.
We tailor plans to your site and budget, covering seasonal bedding, low-maintenance shrubs, pollinator-friendly borders and robust lawn mixes for heavy use. For sports areas, we can improve sward density, line-marking readiness and drainage performance through aeration and feeding. Playground maintenance can include surface checks, edging, weed suppression and safer fall-zone tidiness. We’ll recommend options based on footfall, shade, safeguarding needs and term-time access.
