Sidcup is a well-established suburb with good schools and plenty of green space, so grounds need to look sharp year-round. We’re used to working around 1930s semis, Victorian houses and modern developments that often sit close to school boundaries, meaning noise and access need careful management. Whether your site is in DA14 or DA15, we plan routes, parking and equipment to keep entrances clear. Our team understands the expectations of local parents and governors for neat, well-managed outdoor areas.
We start with a site walkover, risk notes and a maintenance schedule covering lawn care, hedge trimming, weed control and tree care. Playground maintenance and sports pitch care are logged with photos and practical recommendations, so you can budget ahead. Work is timed for quieter periods where possible, with clear communication for caretakers and site managers. Many clients choose us for school grounds maintenance sidcup area because we’re consistent, responsive and tidy on every visit.
In the London Borough of Bexley, heavy rain and compacted soils can stress lawns and pitches, so we adjust mowing height, aeration and feeding accordingly. Sidcup sites often have tight access and busy kerbside parking, so we plan arrival times and equipment to keep gates, paths and fire routes clear. We also factor in nearby public green spaces such as Foots Cray Meadows, where windblown litter can increase after weekends. Our approach keeps standards consistent without over-maintaining sensitive areas.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and what’s included (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and sports pitch care). As a guide, smaller sites may start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with pitches and extensive borders can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are often £350–£1,500. We’ll survey and provide an itemised plan.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for a smaller site, and 4–8 hours (or a full day) for larger grounds with pitches, multiple hedgelines and extensive litter picking. Seasonal tasks—such as scarifying, aeration, top-dressing, tree work or major planting—may require additional visits. Timescales depend on access, weather, safeguarding arrangements, and whether work must be completed outside peak pupil movement times.
Most routine grounds maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree care can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area controls, and waste disposal must follow local regulations. We check for relevant constraints, advise on permissions where needed, and work with your site team to keep safeguarding, access and noise considerations compliant.
