Schools around Victoria station and Victoria Street need grounds that look professional and stay safe for pupils and visitors. Fine Landscaping provides planned maintenance that covers lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and sports pitch care. We work around drop-off times, assemblies and events to keep disruption low. Whether you manage a small courtyard or larger grounds, we keep standards consistent week to week.
The Victoria area includes mansion blocks, Georgian townhouses and modern apartments, which often means tight access, shared boundaries and high footfall nearby. In Westminster and Pimlico, we regularly maintain compact green spaces, roof terraces, enclosed playgrounds and hard-landscaped courtyards that need careful detailing. Our team understands how shade from tall buildings affects grass health and seasonal planting. We also plan for noise sensitivity and safeguarding requirements on active school sites.
We start with a site walkover and a clear maintenance schedule, then deliver regular visits for weed control, tree care, seasonal planting and pitch conditioning. Risk assessments and method statements are available, and we log completed tasks for easy reporting. You’ll get a consistent crew, reliable arrival times and tidy handovers after every visit. Local clients trust us because we communicate clearly, work safely, and keep grounds looking cared-for all year.
Working in the City of Westminster means managing busy streets, controlled parking and strict access windows around SW1. We plan deliveries, load-ins and green waste removal to suit site gates and nearby restrictions. Shaded courtyards near taller buildings can lead to moss and compaction, so we adjust mowing height, aeration and feeding accordingly. If your site borders public routes near Westminster Cathedral, we prioritise safety signage and clean, secure finishes.

Costs in SW1 vary by site size, frequency and what’s included (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, pitch care and playground checks). As a guide, small sites can start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with sports pitches and extensive tree care may be £1,000–£3,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are often £350–£1,500 depending on clearance and access.
A routine visit typically takes 1–4 hours for smaller sites and 4–8 hours for larger grounds, depending on mowing area, hedge lengths, litter levels and any playground or pitch work. Seasonal tasks such as aeration, overseeding, pruning or planting can add time and may be scheduled separately. Access constraints around Victoria, safeguarding procedures and waste removal arrangements can also affect timings.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and seasonal planting—doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree work can be affected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area rules, which are common in the City of Westminster. For any significant pruning, removals or changes to boundaries, we’ll help check the relevant constraints and advise on the right approach before work starts.
We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying hard landscaping and installation work carried out as part of your grounds programme (for example, edging, paving repairs or constructed features). Routine maintenance tasks such as mowing and litter collection are delivered to an agreed specification and visit schedule, with issues rectified promptly if something is missed. We also use proven methods and suitable materials to reduce repeat problems.
We tailor programmes to your site and budget, from low-maintenance seasonal planting (spring bulbs, summer bedding, evergreen structure) to sports pitch care such as overseeding, topdressing and line-marking preparation. For playground areas, we can maintain safety surfacing edges, improve drainage around high-wear zones and manage shade-related moss. We’ll recommend options based on light levels, usage, safeguarding needs and term-time access.
