Schools and nurseries around SE15 need grounds that look welcoming and stay safe in every season. We support sites near Nunhead Green and Telegraph Hill Park with planned maintenance that reduces hazards and keeps outdoor areas usable. Our team handles everything from lawn care and litter collection to sports pitch care and playground maintenance. You get consistent standards, clear communication and a site that reflects your school’s values.
Nunhead’s quiet, village-like character and strong community mean expectations are high for tidy, well-kept outdoor spaces. Many local streets are lined with Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, which often come with compact access routes and established trees. We’re used to working around tight gates, shared paths and neighbouring boundaries, keeping disruption low. If your site borders residential areas like Peckham or East Dulwich, we plan works to stay considerate and compliant.
We start with a site walkover, risk notes and a seasonal maintenance plan covering mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, tree care and planting. Visits are scheduled around term times, events and safeguarding requirements, with checklists and before/after photos available. We use professional equipment, follow safe working practices, and keep play and circulation routes clear. Local schools trust us because we turn up when we say we will and maintain consistent presentation week to week.
We understand the practicalities of school grounds maintenance in the Nunhead area, including narrow access, parked cars and timed deliveries. In the London Borough of Southwark, we plan around local waste rules and keep green waste removal organised and traceable. Clay-heavy patches and shaded corners near mature trees can encourage moss and weeds, so we adjust mowing heights, treatments and drainage improvements accordingly. Our approach suits SE15 sites where presentation and safety need to stay consistent all year.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, pitch work and playground checks). As a guide, smaller sites may budget from £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with sports pitches and tree care often range from £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically start around £350–£1,500 depending on clearance needs.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller sites and 4–8 hours for larger grounds, depending on mowing area, hedge lengths, litter levels and access. Seasonal tasks such as pitch renovation, scarifying, aeration, tree works or planting can add half a day to several days. We plan around school hours, safeguarding requirements and event dates, and can split work into shorter visits to reduce disruption.
Most routine grounds maintenance doesn’t require planning permission, but there can be rules around protected trees, conservation areas and waste disposal. If tree work is involved, we check whether a Tree Preservation Order applies and advise on any notifications needed. For larger changes such as new surfacing or drainage alterations, permissions may be required. We’ll review the site and help you stay compliant with London Borough of Southwark expectations.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on eligible installed works we carry out (for example, certain hard landscaping elements or constructed features agreed in writing). For ongoing maintenance, we also guarantee workmanship standards on each visit: if something we’ve done needs correcting, we’ll return promptly to put it right. The warranty doesn’t cover vandalism, extreme weather damage or issues caused by third-party works, but we’ll always advise on prevention.
We tailor options to your site use and budget, including seasonal planting (hardy perennials, bulbs and low-allergen choices), lawn improvements (overseeding, turf repairs), and sports pitch care (aeration, topdressing, line marking). For playground maintenance we can help with edging, safe surfacing repairs and keeping fall zones clear. We’ll recommend materials and plant palettes that suit shade, footfall and term-time maintenance constraints.
