Response within 24 hours
Schools around Streatham Common and Streatham High Road need grounds that look cared for and stay safe in all seasons. Fine Landscaping provides structured maintenance that covers lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control without disrupting the school day. We also keep play areas and hardstanding clean and hazard-free, with practical fixes flagged early. Work can be scheduled around drop-off, pick-up and after-school clubs.
The Streatham mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and newer apartments often means school sites vary from compact courtyards to larger playing fields. In Streatham Hill and Streatham Vale, access can be tight and boundaries close, so we plan equipment, noise and waste removal carefully. Our team is used to maintaining shared green spaces as well as formal pitches. Seasonal planting is chosen for durability, colour and low disruption to footfall routes.
Our school grounds maintenance streatham area service starts with a site walkover and a clear maintenance calendar for lawns, hedges, trees, beds and sports areas. You’ll receive straightforward checklists, before/after photos where helpful, and recommendations for playground maintenance and pitch care. We work to consistent standards, keep gates and paths clear, and leave the site tidy after each visit. Many local clients choose us for dependable attendance, polite crews and a long-term approach to site condition.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth, we’re familiar with Streatham’s busy roads and school-time traffic, especially near SW16. We plan visits to reduce disruption and factor in parking/loading constraints around Streatham Park and nearby routes. Clay-heavy patches and shaded corners near mature trees can increase moss and compaction, so we adjust mowing heights, aeration and feed schedules. Waste is removed responsibly, with recycling where possible.

Costs depend on site size, visit frequency and what’s included (litter collection, playground maintenance, hedge trimming, pitch care and tree work). As a guide, smaller sites often start from £250–£600 per month for routine visits, while larger grounds with sports pitches and seasonal planting can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800. We’ll survey and provide a tailored schedule and estimate.
Routine visits usually take 1–4 hours for smaller sites, and 4–8+ hours for larger grounds with multiple zones. Pitch work, tree care or seasonal planting can add time, especially in autumn and spring. Timescales are affected by access, safeguarding requirements, weather, leaf fall and the condition of lawns and beds. We can plan around school hours, events and exams, and set a predictable rotation for each task.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, litter picking, weeding and bed care—doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree work may require checks if trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or within a conservation area, and waste handling must follow duty-of-care rules. For any changes to fencing, surfacing or drainage near play areas, additional approvals can apply. We’ll flag requirements early and help you stay compliant.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible installed landscaping elements we supply and fit (for example, certain hard landscaping features completed as part of improvement works). Routine maintenance outcomes can vary with weather and usage, but we guarantee our scheduled visits, agreed tasks and site cleanliness standards. If something isn’t right, we’ll return promptly to put it right. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing before work starts.
We tailor options to how pupils use the space and how much upkeep you want. Popular choices include hardy seasonal planting schemes, low-maintenance shrubs, robust lawn mixes for high footfall, and sports pitch programmes (aeration, overseeding, topdressing and repairs). For playground edges, we can recommend safer, cleaner borders and tidy surfacing transitions. We’ll assess light, soil and drainage, then propose practical choices with clear pros and cons.
