Keeping school grounds presentable takes more than a quick mow. We support schools and nurseries around SW16 with scheduled lawn care, hedge trimming, weed control and regular litter collection. Whether you’re near Pollards Hill Library or managing busy edges by Pollards Hill Recreation Ground, we help maintain a clean, safe environment for pupils and visitors. Our team also covers playground maintenance checks and sports pitch care to reduce wear and hazards.
Pollards Hill is a quiet residential area with excellent local amenities and green spaces, and many sites sit alongside 1930s semis, post-war housing and maisonettes. That mix often means tight access points, shared boundaries and planting areas that need careful shaping rather than heavy-handed cutting. We plan visits to minimise disruption at drop-off and pick-up times. For schools serving Norbury, Mitcham and Streatham Vale, we keep standards consistent across every entrance, path and play area.
We start with a site walkaround, risk-aware maintenance plan and clear schedule for term time and holidays. Tasks are logged each visit, with photos available for caretakers and bursars who need a simple paper trail. You’ll get dependable arrival times, tidy workmanship and safe disposal of green waste. As a local firm just 5 minutes away, we’re trusted for responsive call-outs after storms, events or inspections.
For school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Merton, we factor in compact access, on-street parking and safeguarding requirements. Sites around South Lodge Avenue and SW16 can have shaded corners and worn desire lines, so we adapt mowing heights, overseeding and weed control to suit. We also time noisy work for agreed windows and keep gates, pathways and entrances clear. If council guidance or neighbour considerations apply, we plan accordingly and communicate clearly.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and what’s included (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, pitch marking, playground checks and seasonal planting). As a guide, smaller sites may start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with pitches and extensive borders are often £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,500 depending on overgrowth and waste volumes.
Routine visits for a small to medium site commonly take 2–5 hours, depending on mowing, edging, litter picking and hedge work. Larger grounds with sports pitches, multiple play areas and significant tree lines can take a full day or be split across two visits. Timescales also change with seasonal growth, wet ground conditions, leaf fall and whether you need extra tasks such as aeration, overseeding or playground surface repairs.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance doesn’t require planning permission. However, there can be rules around tree works (especially if a Tree Preservation Order applies), working hours, waste disposal and any changes to surfaces, fencing or drainage. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can help you check with the London Borough of Merton where appropriate. For safeguarding and access, we also follow your site procedures strictly.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty where applicable to installed elements we supply and fit (for example certain hard landscaping repairs or edging works agreed as part of the plan). For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee the tasks listed in your schedule are completed to the agreed standard, with visit logs available. Living materials such as turf and planting are supported with aftercare guidance and realistic seasonal expectations.
Alongside routine care, we can recommend practical upgrades such as durable edging, bark or rubber play surfacing repairs, low-maintenance shrub beds, seasonal planting schemes and hard-wearing turf mixes for high-traffic areas. For sports areas, we can support pitch renovation options like overseeding, topdressing and line marking. We’ll assess footfall, shade, drainage and budget, then propose options that are safe, tidy and easy for staff to manage.
