Keeping school grounds looking their best takes more than a quick mow. Our team supports schools across SW18, with regular visits for lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control. We’re often working near Southfields tube station and Wimbledon Park, so we understand the pace of the area during term time and Wimbledon season. Every visit is scheduled to protect pupils, staff and play areas.
The Southfields area includes Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis, and many local schools have compact access routes and shared boundaries. We tailor our school grounds maintenance southfields area plans to suit tight service yards, narrow side paths and sensitive neighbouring gardens. Whether you’re close to Earlsfield or Putney, we keep noise and mess controlled. Seasonal planting and tree care are planned to suit the site’s light levels and shelter.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a clear maintenance schedule. Routine tasks include playground maintenance, sports pitch care, edging, pruning and proactive weed control, with photo updates if required. Our crews arrive on time, keep gates secure and leave paths clean after every visit. Schools and local homeowners trust us for consistent standards and straightforward reporting.
Southfields sites often have mixed sun and shade, with compact borders and heavy footfall around entrances. We plan access and parking carefully near Southfields Grid routes and busy school-run periods. In the London Borough of Wandsworth, we work considerately around neighbours and keep green waste managed and removed. Our approach adapts to smaller courtyards, larger playing fields and everything between.

Costs vary by site size, visit frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, playground maintenance and sports pitch care). As a guide, small sites often start around £250–£450 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with pitches and tree care may be £700–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,500 depending on clearance and disposal.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller school sites, and 4–8 hours (or a full day) for larger grounds with pitches, multiple play areas and extensive hedging. Timescales depend on grass growth, leaf fall, the number of litter picks, and whether seasonal planting or tree work is included. We can split tasks across visits to keep the site usable throughout the day.
Most day-to-day maintenance (mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and planting) doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and schools may have safeguarding and access policies to follow. We check for relevant constraints, confirm working hours and waste handling, and help you stay compliant before any major pruning or removals.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works (for example, hard landscaping elements associated with playground edges, paths or rebuilt borders where we supply and install). Routine maintenance outcomes depend on weather, usage and site conditions, but we stand behind our workmanship, return promptly to resolve issues linked to our work, and keep clear records of visits and recommendations for best results.
We tailor plans to the site: durable turf and overseeding for high-wear lawns, robust hedge species for screening, seasonal planting schemes for entrances, and safer surfacing repairs around play zones. For sports areas, we can recommend grass pitch renovation options and wear-area reinforcement. We’ll assess footfall, shade and drainage, then propose practical choices that balance appearance, safety and long-term upkeep.
