Response within 24 hours
Soho’s schools and education sites need grounds that look sharp and function safely, even with constant footfall. We provide routine and reactive maintenance covering lawn care, weed control, litter collection and seasonal planting. Working near Soho Square and Carnaby Street, our teams plan visits to avoid peak pedestrian times. The result is cleaner entrances, healthier turf and outdoor areas that feel well managed.
The Soho area includes Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and commercial conversions, and school sites often sit behind tight frontages or shared access routes. That means careful handling of equipment, sensible noise control and tidy storage between tasks. We’re used to compact courtyards, roof terraces and small greens as well as larger play areas. Our school grounds maintenance in City of Westminster is tailored to each site’s layout and safeguarding requirements.
We start with a site walkover and maintenance plan covering mowing heights, hedge lines, playground checks and sports pitch care. Visits can be scheduled before the school day, after hours or during holidays, with clear reporting after each attendance. Our operatives work to agreed risk assessments and method statements, keeping gates secure and pathways clear. Clients choose us for consistent standards, fast response and a finish that stays tidy between visits.
Access in W1 can be tight, with loading restrictions and limited parking near Liberty London and Leicester Square. We plan arrivals, vehicle size and waste removal to suit local rules and reduce disruption. High footfall and shade from taller buildings can stress turf, so we adjust mowing height, overseeding and weed control accordingly. Where sites include hardstanding courtyards, we prioritise slip resistance and clear drainage lines.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Soho vary with site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, playground maintenance and pitch care). As a guide, small courtyard-style sites may start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area sites often fall between £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £350–£1,800 depending on waste and access.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller Soho sites and 4–8 hours for larger grounds with pitches, multiple lawns and extensive hedge lines. Timescales depend on access, the amount of litter collection required, growth rate, and whether playground maintenance checks or tree works are included. Seasonal tasks such as aeration, overseeding and planting can add time, so we schedule them during quieter periods where possible.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance (mowing, hedge trimming, weeding and planting) doesn’t require planning permission. However, City of Westminster rules can affect waste disposal, noise, working hours, and vehicle access in controlled zones. Tree work may need extra checks if a Tree Preservation Order applies or the site sits in a conservation area. We confirm constraints before starting and keep documentation ready for site managers.
Yes. Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on applicable installed works, such as certain hard landscaping elements completed as part of wider site improvements. For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee workmanship to the agreed specification and will return to rectify issues caused by our work within a reasonable period. Living materials (turf, plants) are covered through clear care plans, with performance depending on weather, footfall and irrigation.
Alongside maintenance, we can refresh beds with seasonal planting, low-allergen shrubs, and resilient turf mixes suited to heavy use. For play and circulation areas, options may include bark or rubber safety surfacing, permeable paving, and improved edging to reduce trip hazards. We also advise on wildlife-friendly planting and low-maintenance layouts. We’ll recommend choices based on sunlight, drainage, safeguarding needs and budget.
