From Tooting Bec Common to the busy approaches around Tooting Broadway station, outdoor areas get heavy footfall and need consistent care. Our team delivers structured maintenance that keeps school grounds clean, safe and welcoming throughout the year. We cover lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and sports pitch care. Work is planned around drop-off, pick-up and events to keep access clear.
We know the school sites and residential streets across SW17, including Tooting Bec, Tooting Broadway, Tooting Graveney and Furzedown. Many properties here are Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, which often means narrow access routes, shared boundaries and limited storage space for equipment. That experience translates well to school settings with tight gates, safeguarding requirements and noise considerations. We arrive prepared with the right kit for compact access and clean working practices.
You’ll get a tailored maintenance plan covering weed control, tree care, seasonal planting and regular inspections of key areas. We provide clear visit notes, photo updates if needed, and proactive recommendations before small issues become costly repairs. Our crews work to agreed risk assessments and keep pathways, entrances and play zones tidy after every visit. Schools and local homeowners trust us for punctuality, consistent standards and straightforward communication.
We’re used to the practicalities of the London Borough of Wandsworth, including controlled parking zones and timed access on school streets. Tooting’s compact roads and Victorian-era layouts can limit vehicle access, so we plan loading, waste removal and equipment choice in advance. Soil can vary from compacted high-traffic areas to shaded corners near boundaries, so we adjust mowing height, feeding and weed control accordingly. If you need school grounds maintenance tooting area support, we can align visits with term dates and site opening times.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground checks and pitch care). As a guide, smaller sites often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with sports pitches and tree care can be £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £350–£1,500. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller grounds and 4–8 hours for larger sites, depending on mowing areas, hedge lengths, litter levels and any pitch or playground tasks. Seasonal work such as aeration, overseeding, tree pruning or planting beds can add time and may be scheduled separately. Access restrictions, safeguarding procedures and waste removal also affect duration. We plan visits to minimise disruption and keep key routes open.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter picking and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be subject to Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and waste disposal must be handled correctly. Some sites also have restrictions on working hours, noise and vehicle access. We check relevant constraints before starting and can liaise with site managers to ensure compliance for school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Wandsworth.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping and installation work carried out as part of improvements (for example, repairs to edging, surfacing or constructed features). Routine maintenance tasks like mowing and trimming are covered by our service standards: if something isn’t finished to the agreed specification, we’ll return to put it right. Warranty terms depend on materials, usage levels and correct aftercare, which we explain in writing.
We tailor the plan to your site and priorities. Popular options include meadow-style seasonal planting for biodiversity, hard-wearing ryegrass mixes for sports pitches, low-maintenance shrub borders, and structured hedge lines for clear boundaries. For playground areas, we can recommend safer surfacing repairs, better drainage around high-wear zones and robust edging. We’ll assess light levels, soil condition and footfall, then propose practical choices that suit budgets and term-time schedules.
