Keeping school grounds presentable and safe takes consistent, professional care. We support sites across SE19, including Upper Norwood and Crystal Palace, with planned maintenance that fits term-time routines. Whether you’re near Norwood Grove Park or close to Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, our team maintains lawns, borders, pitches and play areas to a high standard. You get clear reporting, tidy finishes and reliable attendance.
Norwood Grove’s quiet residential setting and strong parkland access bring a mix of mature trees, shaded lawns and leaf fall to manage. We’re used to working around Victorian houses, Edwardian properties and period conversions where access can be tighter and parking needs planning. On school sites, that experience translates into careful equipment choice, considerate arrival times and clean pathways. We tailor frequency and scope to your grounds, not a one-size schedule.
Our process starts with a site walkover, risk-aware method statements and a seasonal plan covering lawn care, weed control and planting. Visits are structured: litter collection and safety checks first, then mowing, edging, hedge trimming, and sports pitch marking or renovation as required. We document work completed and flag issues early, from trip hazards to storm damage. Local clients trust us for punctual crews, consistent standards and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works.
We know the ground conditions common in the London Borough of Croydon, including compacted soils, shaded corners and heavy leaf drop from mature trees. Access around Upper Norwood and South Norwood can be restricted, so we plan vehicle size, unloading points and parking to avoid disruption. Where sites border period streets, we prioritise noise-aware timings and clean, swept exits. This is school grounds maintenance Norwood Grove area teams can rely on for consistent results.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (litter collection, mowing, hedge trimming, pitch care and playground checks). As a guide, smaller sites often budget from £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with sports pitches and tree care can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off seasonal tidy-ups typically start around £350–£1,200. We provide a tailored schedule after a site survey.
Routine visits commonly take 1–4 hours depending on acreage, mowing conditions and the amount of litter, edging and pruning required. Larger sites with sports pitch work, aeration, topdressing or playground maintenance can run 1–2 days per visit. Timescales are affected by growth rate, weather, access constraints, safeguarding procedures and whether waste removal is included. We plan around drop-off and pick-up to minimise disruption.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, seasonal planting and litter collection—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works may need checks if there’s a Tree Preservation Order or if the site sits within a conservation area, and larger alterations to surfaces or fencing can trigger permissions. We’ll ask the right questions, review constraints where needed, and help you stay compliant with local rules and site policies.
For maintenance, we guarantee workmanship on each visit: tasks completed as specified, areas left tidy, and issues reported promptly. Where we carry out qualifying installed works (for example, new edging, resurfacing elements, or hard landscaping associated with playground or access improvements), we provide a 10-year warranty covering installation defects and workmanship. The warranty doesn’t cover accidental damage, misuse, or extreme weather events, but we’ll always advise on preventative care and repairs.
We offer seasonal planting schemes (spring bulbs, summer bedding, hardy perennials), low-maintenance shrub borders, and pollinator-friendly mixes suited to school settings. For sports pitches, options include overseeding, aeration, topdressing, goalmouth repairs and line marking. Playground maintenance can include surface cleaning, minor timber repairs, edging and safer fall-zone tidying. We’ll recommend choices based on usage levels, budget, safeguarding needs and the look you want across the grounds.
