Managing a school site in SW15 means balancing safety, appearance and heavy daily footfall. Our team supports schools across Putney, from Putney High Street through to Putney Heath, with structured grounds care that reduces hazards and improves kerb appeal. We handle lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control as part of a clear maintenance schedule. Expect tidy edges, cleaner paths and well-presented green spaces all year.
Putney’s mix of riverside apartments and Victorian and Edwardian houses often sits alongside busy school entrances and narrow access points. We’re used to working around drop-off traffic near Putney Bridge and managing kit and waste removal without disrupting neighbours. For schools in Roehampton, West Putney and East Putney, we tailor maintenance to the site layout—courtyards, playing fields, hardstanding and landscaped borders. The result is consistent standards across every part of the grounds.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware plan and a term-time calendar, then deliver regular visits with photo updates if required. Playground maintenance checks, sports pitch care and tree care are scheduled to minimise downtime and protect surfaces. Work is completed by trained operatives using professional equipment, with clear reporting and responsive call-outs after storms. Local homeowners and school managers trust us for punctuality, tidy working practices and dependable follow-through.
Across the London Borough of Wandsworth, Putney sites often face compact access, parking restrictions and high pedestrian traffic. Near the River Thames towpath, damp conditions can encourage moss and weeds, so we adjust treatments and cutting heights accordingly. We plan visits around school start/finish times and coordinate deliveries to reduce disruption. Our teams are familiar with SW15 routes and practical loading points, helping jobs run on time.

Costs vary with site size, visit frequency and what’s included (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and sports pitch care). As a guide, smaller school sites may budget from £250–£600 per month for regular maintenance, while larger grounds with pitches and extensive borders are often £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically start around £350–£1,500 depending on clearance and waste removal.
A routine visit can take 2–6 hours for a smaller site, while larger grounds with pitches, multiple play areas and extensive hedges may require a full day or a two-person team. Seasonal works such as hedge reductions, aeration, topdressing or tree care can add time and may be scheduled during holidays. Access constraints, safeguarding procedures and weather also affect timescales. We provide a visit plan and realistic timings in advance.
Most routine school grounds tasks—mowing, hedge trimming, litter collection, weed control and seasonal planting—do not require planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and certain fencing or surface changes may need approval. We check relevant constraints and can liaise with the London Borough of Wandsworth where needed. For schools, we also follow safeguarding and site access requirements.
We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works (such as hard landscaping elements completed by our team), covering defects caused by installation. For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee agreed service standards—if something is missed on a scheduled visit, we’ll put it right promptly. Planting success depends on season and aftercare, so we provide clear care guidance and can agree replacement terms for specific schemes.
We can maintain and enhance a wide range of school landscapes, from durable turf and reinforced sports areas to seasonal planting beds and low-maintenance shrub borders. Popular options include hard-wearing grass mixes for pitches, evergreen hedging for screening, pollinator-friendly planting, bark or rubber play surfaces, and weed-suppressing mulches. We help you choose based on budget, safeguarding, site use and year-round appearance, then build it into a practical maintenance plan.
