Response within 24 hours
Westminster schools need grounds that look professional and stay safe through heavy daily use. We provide scheduled maintenance across Victoria, Pimlico and SW1, with teams used to working around busy drop-offs and tight access. Whether you’re near Westminster Abbey or St James’s Park, we keep lawns, hedges and borders consistently presentable. Our work covers Lawn Care, Hedge Trimming, Litter Collection, Playground Maintenance and more.
The City of Westminster mixes Georgian townhouses, mansion flats and luxury apartments, and many education sites sit within conservation-minded streetscapes. That means careful handling around mature trees, paved courtyards and compact green spaces. We tailor mowing heights, edging and planting plans to suit shaded gardens, high footfall routes and formal frontage areas. You’ll get a finish that matches the surrounding historic architecture without over-maintaining sensitive areas.
We start with a site walkover, risk notes for play areas, and a clear maintenance calendar for term time and holidays. Visits are logged, issues are flagged early (drainage, worn turf, broken edging), and we agree priorities with your site manager. Our crews arrive on time, work cleanly, and keep noise and mess to a minimum. Homeowners and school estates teams trust us for consistent standards, clear communication and a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works.
Working in the City of Westminster often means restricted parking, timed deliveries and strict site safeguarding. We plan visits around school gates, coordinate waste removal, and use compact equipment for courtyards and narrow access. Urban shade and wind tunnels near larger buildings can stress lawns, so we adjust cutting height and watering advice accordingly. If your site is close to Whitehall or SW1 controlled zones, we’ll schedule efficiently to avoid disruption.

Costs in Westminster vary with site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, litter collection, hedge trimming, playground checks and pitch care). As a guide, small sites can start from around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area grounds may be £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800 depending on overgrowth and waste volumes.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for a compact site, or a full day for larger grounds with multiple lawns, hedges and play areas. Seasonal works such as aeration, overseeding, tree care or sports pitch renovation can add half a day to several days, depending on access and weather. Term-time scheduling, safeguarding procedures and waste removal arrangements in Westminster also affect timings.
Most routine maintenance—mowing, hedge trimming, weed control and litter collection—doesn’t need planning permission. However, the City of Westminster has conservation areas and tree protections, so tree work may require checks for Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation notifications. If you’re changing layouts, adding fencing, or altering drainage, permissions can apply. We’ll review constraints and advise before any non-routine work starts.
For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee workmanship to the agreed specification and will return to correct any issues caused by our visit. For installed elements we supply as part of the service—such as new turf, edging, planting beds, small hardscape repairs or drainage improvements—Fine Landscaping provides a 10-year warranty on qualifying works. The warranty covers installation defects; it excludes damage from misuse, vandalism or extreme weather events.
We can tailor the site to your priorities: low-allergen and pollinator-friendly seasonal planting, hardy shrubs for high-traffic borders, and shade-tolerant turf mixes for enclosed courtyards. For sports areas, we offer pitch mowing plans, line marking schedules and renovation options such as overseeding and topdressing. Around play zones, we can maintain existing surfacing and advise on safer edging and weed suppression. We’ll recommend choices that suit budget, use levels and safeguarding needs.
