Response within 24 hours
Keeping a school site looking professional takes more than a quick mow. Our team supports schools across SM4, including around Morden Park and near Morden station, with planned maintenance that improves safety and day-to-day appearance. We cover Lawn Care, Hedge Trimming and Weed Control as standard, plus Litter Collection to keep paths and entrances clear. For busier areas, we also handle Playground Maintenance and Sports Pitch Care.
Morden’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates and modern developments often means varied boundaries, shared access routes and compact service yards. Schools in areas such as St Helier and Lower Morden can have a blend of open grass, shaded corners and hardstanding that needs different approaches through the year. We tailor cutting heights, edging and planting plans to suit each micro-area on site. Tree Care is planned with visibility, safeguarding and seasonal risks in mind.
We start with a site walk-round, risk-aware method statement and a practical schedule that fits term time and holidays. Visits are logged, with clear notes on completed tasks and any emerging issues such as worn turf, trip hazards or invasive weeds. You get consistent standards, dependable arrival times and tidy handovers after every visit. Many local clients choose us because we communicate clearly and deliver work that stands up to scrutiny.
We’re on-site in around 15 minutes from Norbury, so response times are quick when priorities change. Across the London Borough of Merton, access can be tight and parking controlled, especially near schools and busy routes, so we plan unloading and waste removal carefully. Morden’s parks and mature trees can mean leaf fall, shade and moss pressure, which we factor into lawn and pitch programmes. We also align work with local expectations around noise, safeguarding and site security.

Costs vary by site size, visit frequency and whether you need specialist tasks like sports pitch marking or tree works. As a guide, small school sites often budget £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with pitches and extensive hedging can be £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups and seasonal clearance are commonly £350–£1,500. We’ll survey and provide a tailored schedule and price.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller sites and 4–8 hours for larger grounds, depending on tasks. Lawn mowing and litter collection are quick, while hedge trimming, weed control, and playground checks add time. Sports pitch care may require extra visits during the growing season. Weather, access restrictions, safeguarding procedures and waste volumes also affect timescales. We plan visits around school hours and key events.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, planting and litter collection—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and waste disposal must follow proper duty-of-care requirements. If your site borders public land or has shared access, there may be additional considerations. We check constraints before major works and can advise on any permissions needed for compliance.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible installed landscaping elements we supply and fit (for example, certain hard landscaping features associated with grounds improvements). Routine maintenance outcomes depend on weather, usage and existing ground conditions, but we guarantee the work will be completed to the agreed specification and schedule. If something isn’t right, we’ll return promptly to put it right and keep records for accountability.
We can tailor seasonal planting with hardy perennials, low-maintenance shrubs and bulbs for term-time colour, plus robust edging to keep beds tidy. For sports areas, options include overseeding, aeration, top-dressing and line marking programmes to suit usage levels. Playground maintenance can include surface cleaning, weed control along edges and safety-focused clearance. We’ll recommend choices based on footfall, shade, budget and the look your school wants to achieve.
