Our process starts with a site walkover, risk notes and a seasonal plan covering mowing heights, pruning cycles and planting rotations.

We use professional equipment, tidy up thoroughly, and prioritise safe working zones around pupils and staff.

Costs vary by site size, visit frequency and what’s included (lawns, hedges, litter collection, playground checks and pitch care). As a guide, smaller sites often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with pitches and trees can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800. We’ll survey and provide a tailored, itemised estimate.
Routine visits commonly take 1–4 hours depending on the number of zones (lawns, beds, paths, play areas and pitches). A full seasonal visit with hedge trimming, tree work and planting can take 1–3 days for larger sites. Timescales depend on access, safeguarding restrictions, weather, grass growth, leaf fall and whether waste removal is required. We schedule around drop-off, break times and after-school activities where needed.
Most routine grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, seasonal planting and litter collection—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area rules, and some playground or sports surface changes may need approvals. We can help you check constraints with the London Borough of Lewisham and confirm what permissions, if any, are needed before work starts.
