Schools around W11 need grounds that look welcoming and stay safe in all seasons. We provide structured maintenance programmes across Notting Hill, including litter collection, weed control and routine playground maintenance. Whether you’re close to Notting Hill Gate or managing busy frontages near Portobello Road Market, we keep outdoor areas clean and presentable. Our team works discreetly around drop-off times and safeguarding requirements.
The Notting Hill mix of pastel-painted Victorian townhouses, mansion conversions and mews houses often means tighter access, shared boundaries and compact courtyards. We’re used to working near schools and nurseries in Holland Park, Bayswater and Ladbroke Grove where storage space is limited and noise needs managing. Hedges, trees and lawns can sit close to railings, basements and lightwells, so we maintain with care. We also adapt seasonal planting to sheltered streets and shaded gardens.
We start with a site walkover, risk assessment and a clear maintenance schedule, then assign a consistent crew. Tasks can include sports pitch care, tree care, hedge trimming and regular litter sweeps, with photo updates for site managers. We use tidy working practices, controlled waste removal and safe, compliant products where required. Local schools and homeowners trust us for punctual visits, clear reporting and a finish that stands up to heavy footfall.
We understand the access constraints and controlled parking common across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, especially around W11 and the Carnival route. Our crews plan loading, waste removal and timings to reduce disruption on busy streets. Shade from mature trees and tall terraces can affect grass growth, moss and damp patches, so we tailor mowing heights, feeding and weed control. Where sites border residential mews, we keep noise and debris tightly managed.

Costs depend on site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, pitch care and playground checks). As a guide, small sites may start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with sports pitches and tree care often range £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups and seasonal works are typically priced separately after a survey.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller school grounds, or half a day to a full day for larger sites with multiple zones. Timescales vary with grass growth, leaf fall, hedge length, pitch condition and the amount of litter collection required. Seasonal planting and tree works are usually scheduled as separate visits. We plan around drop-off, break times and after-school activities to minimise disruption.
Most routine grounds maintenance is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area controls, which are common locally. Waste handling, noise limits and working hours may also be relevant for sites near homes. We check constraints before starting, liaise with site managers, and can help confirm requirements with the council where needed.
We stand behind our workmanship and provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installation works we carry out as part of grounds upgrades (for example, hard landscaping or constructed elements). Routine maintenance tasks are covered by our service standards: if something is missed or not completed to the agreed specification, we return to put it right. All work is documented, and schedules are agreed in writing for clarity.
We can tailor maintenance around your existing layout or propose improvements that reduce upkeep and improve safety. Popular options include durable turf or reinforced grass for high-wear areas, low-maintenance seasonal planting schemes, bark or rubber play surfaces, and structured hedge and tree management plans. For sports areas, we advise on overseeding, aeration and topdressing choices. We’ll recommend options based on footfall, shade, budget and safeguarding needs.
