Keeping a school site presentable takes more than a quick mow. Our team supports Warlingham schools with lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and routine playground maintenance to reduce hazards and improve kerb appeal. We’re regularly working around Warlingham Green and up towards Hamsey Green, planning visits around drop-off and pick-up. Whether it’s daily tidying or termly improvements, we keep grounds consistent and well managed.
Warlingham’s mix of period cottages, large detached houses and country homes often comes with mature boundaries, established trees and varied ground levels—conditions that also show up on school sites locally. In the CR6 area, clay-heavy soils can compact in winter and bake hard in summer, affecting turf health and drainage. We tailor mowing heights, aeration and feeding to suit the season and the site’s usage. For schools near Warlingham Park School and surrounding lanes, we also plan access for larger equipment and safe storage.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statement and a maintenance schedule that matches term dates and sports fixtures. Tasks are logged, issues are flagged early (damaged fencing, trip edges, worn turf), and we provide clear recommendations before problems escalate. You’ll get dependable attendance, tidy finishes and consistent standards across lawns, beds and hardstanding. Local homeowners and school managers trust us for responsive communication and workmanship backed by long-term cover.
We understand the practicalities of school grounds maintenance in Tandridge District, including narrow access roads, parking constraints and safeguarding considerations. In Warlingham, exposed edges and shaded tree lines can drive moss, weeds and patchy turf, so we adjust treatments and mowing patterns accordingly. We also factor in local soil conditions and drainage when planning sports pitch care and seasonal planting. If your site spans multiple entrances, we schedule work to keep pedestrian routes clear and safe.

Costs vary with site size, frequency and what’s included (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, sports pitch care and playground maintenance). As a guide, small sites may start around £250–£500 per month for regular visits, while larger grounds with pitches and tree care often fall between £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £450–£1,500. We’ll survey the site and provide an itemised plan.
Routine visits are usually 1–4 hours depending on the number of zones (lawns, beds, hardstanding and play areas) and the amount of litter collection and edging needed. Larger sites with sports pitches, hedge lines and multiple entrances can take a full day or be split across two visits. Seasonal tasks—scarifying, aeration, planting or tree works—add time. We schedule around school hours and events to minimise disruption.
Most maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control, planting and routine playground upkeep—doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree work can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders, and some sites may sit within conservation considerations. If you’re adding new structures, altering levels or changing access routes, permissions may apply. We’ll help you check relevant constraints in Tandridge District and confirm what’s required before work starts.
We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installation-related works we carry out as part of grounds improvements (for example, edging, surfacing repairs or constructed landscape elements). Maintenance tasks are covered by clear service standards and revisit arrangements if something hasn’t been completed as agreed. Living materials like turf and plants are subject to seasonal conditions, but we advise on aftercare and replace options where appropriate.
We can tailor the site to suit how pupils and staff use it. Popular options include hard-wearing sports turf mixes, low-maintenance shrub borders, seasonal planting schemes, bark or mulch for beds, and robust edging to keep paths tidy. For pitches, we can recommend renovation methods, topdressing and line marking systems. We’ll assess footfall, shade, drainage and safeguarding needs, then propose options that fit your budget and maintenance schedule.
