Response within 24 hours
Schools across Wandsworth Town and Southfields need grounds that look professional and stay safe in all weathers. We deliver a complete maintenance programme covering lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground maintenance and weed control. Whether your site is near Wandsworth Common or close to King George's Park, we plan visits to suit drop-off, pick-up and after-school clubs. The result is cleaner surfaces, healthier turf and outdoor areas staff can rely on.
The Wandsworth area mixes Victorian and Edwardian streets with modern riverside apartments, and local schools reflect that variety in their grounds. Some sites have compact courtyards and narrow access; others have larger fields and sports zones. Our team is based just 20 minutes away, so we can respond quickly to storm damage, fallen branches or urgent tidy-ups. We tailor schedules for term time, holidays and events so your grounds stay consistent year-round.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware plan and clear maintenance calendar, then carry out tasks in a logical rotation: mowing and edging, weed control, hedge work, tree care, pitch care and seasonal planting. Playground checks and litter collection are built into every visit, with photos and notes available if needed. You’ll get reliable arrival times, tidy working practices and clear communication. Many local clients choose us for dependable standards and a long-term approach, not quick fixes.
We’re used to SW18 access constraints, controlled parking and timed deliveries around school traffic. Wandsworth’s heavy use of parks and pitches means turf compaction is common, so we build in aeration and overseeding where needed. We also plan hedge and tree care around nesting season and safeguarding requirements. For school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Wandsworth, we adapt methods to each site’s layout and usage.

Costs depend on site size, visit frequency and the mix of services (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, playground checks and pitch care). For smaller sites, expect roughly £250–£600 per month for regular visits. Medium sites often fall around £600–£1,500 per month. Larger campuses with sports pitches, tree care and seasonal planting can be £1,500–£4,000+ per month. We provide a tailored schedule after a site survey.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for compact sites and 3–8 hours for larger grounds with multiple zones. Sports pitch care, hedge reductions, tree works and seasonal planting can add time and may be scheduled as separate half-day or full-day visits. Timescales are affected by access, weather, grass growth rates, safeguarding procedures and whether waste removal is required. We agree a realistic rota that fits your timetable.
Most routine grounds maintenance is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and some sites have specific noise or access requirements. We check what applies before carrying out major pruning or removals and can help with the paperwork where needed. We also work to safe, considerate practices when operating near public boundaries and footpaths.
We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed landscaping elements (such as hard landscaping or constructed features) when maintained appropriately. For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee consistent standards against the agreed specification, with prompt return visits if something has been missed. Living materials like turf and plants are affected by weather and usage, but we advise on care and replacement options to keep performance on track.
We can tailor seasonal planting schemes (pollinator-friendly borders, low-maintenance shrubs and robust perennials), improve lawns with overseeding and top-dressing, and manage sports pitches with line marking, aeration and fertiliser programmes. For play areas, we focus on safe surfacing upkeep, edging, weed control and tidy fall zones. We’ll recommend options based on footfall, shade, drainage and budget, then schedule works around term dates and events.
