Keeping outdoor areas clean, safe and well-presented matters for pupils, staff and visitors alike. Our teams support schools around New Malden High Street and KT3 with regular lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control. We also handle playground maintenance checks and sports pitch care so surfaces stay consistent through term time. Seasonal planting keeps entrances and courtyards looking welcoming year-round.
New Malden’s suburban mix—1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments—often sits alongside compact school sites with tight access and shared boundaries. We’re used to working near Manor Park and Beverley Park where footfall is high and presentation standards are strict. The local microclimate and shaded edges from mature trees can encourage moss and patchy growth, so we tailor mowing heights, feeding and aeration accordingly. If your grounds include older hedging or established trees, we plan work to protect roots and nearby structures.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a clear maintenance schedule for term time and holidays. Tasks are logged, and we prioritise safeguarding: secure gates, tidy edges, and prompt removal of hazards such as broken branches or litter. You’ll get reliable visit times, polite uniformed staff, and clean handovers after each session. Many local clients choose us because we communicate clearly and keep standards consistent across the year.
We regularly work across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, including Raynes Park, Motspur Park and Worcester Park, so we understand local access and parking constraints. Many sites have narrow service routes and shared driveways, so we plan vehicle sizes, waste removal and quiet working. Heavy use around school gates can compact soil quickly, so we adjust maintenance with aeration and overseeding. Where trees are protected, we schedule sympathetic pruning and help you keep records in order.

Costs depend on site size, visit frequency and what’s included (lawns, hedges, litter, pitches, play areas and tree care). As a guide, small sites often start from around £250–£600 per month for routine visits, while larger campuses with pitches can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800+. We’ll survey and price to your schedule and safeguarding requirements.
A routine visit for a smaller site can take 2–4 hours, while larger grounds with pitches and multiple play areas may need a full day or a two-person team. Seasonal tasks (leaf clearance, scarifying, overseeding, hedge reductions) add time and are often planned for weekends or holidays. Access, parking, waste volumes and weather also affect duration. We agree realistic timings and keep disruption low during school hours.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, litter collection and general planting—doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area rules, and some boundary changes may require approval. We check for constraints where relevant and can advise on the right approach before any major pruning or removals. For schools, we also align work with site policies and safeguarding procedures.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed features completed by our team, where applicable). Routine maintenance outcomes can vary with weather and usage, but we guarantee the standard of our work: visits completed as scheduled, areas left tidy, and issues flagged promptly. Any concerns are logged and addressed quickly, with clear communication throughout.
We tailor plans to how pupils use the space and the look you want to maintain. Popular options include seasonal bedding displays, low-maintenance shrubs, pollinator-friendly planting, and hard-wearing grass mixes for high-traffic lawns. For sports areas we can provide line marking, aeration, topdressing and overseeding, plus weed and moss control. We’ll recommend choices based on shade, drainage, safeguarding and your budget, then build a practical annual schedule.
