Wimbledon schools need grounds that look professional and perform in all weathers. Fine Landscaping maintains lawns, hedges, pitches and play areas with a focus on safety, presentation and durability. We regularly work near Wimbledon Common and around Wimbledon Park, keeping outdoor spaces clean, usable and welcoming. Expect proactive weed control, tidy edges and clear reporting after each visit.
The Wimbledon area includes large Victorian houses, Edwardian villas and exclusive modern homes, and many school sites reflect that same high standard of appearance. We’re used to tight access routes, shared driveways and sensitive boundaries in Wimbledon Village and South Wimbledon. Our team plans visits to minimise disruption at drop-off and pick-up times. Results are consistent whether it’s a compact nursery garden or a multi-pitch campus.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware maintenance plan and a clear schedule for term time and holidays. Each visit covers agreed tasks such as litter collection, hedge trimming, playground maintenance checks and seasonal planting, with photos available on request. We turn up when we say we will, work cleanly, and leave paths and entrances safe. Local clients value our dependable communication and long-term care approach.
We understand the mix of shaded areas and open exposure common around Wimbledon Common, which affects moss, compaction and drainage. In the London Borough of Merton, we plan around school parking controls, timed deliveries and caretaker access requirements. We also factor in boundary planting typical of SW19 and SW20 sites, selecting robust species and maintenance intervals. This local approach helps keep grounds consistent through term time and holiday periods.

Costs vary with site size, frequency and whether you need specialist work like sports pitch care or tree care. As a guide, small sites often start around £250–£500 per month for regular visits, while larger schools with pitches and multiple zones may be £800–£2,000+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £450–£1,500. We’ll survey the site and tailor a schedule to budget and priorities.
A routine visit can take 2–6 hours depending on mowing area, hedge lengths, litter levels and playground checks. Larger campuses with sports pitches, multiple beds and tree work may need a full day or a two-person team. Seasonal peaks (spring growth, autumn leaf fall) can extend visit times. We plan around school hours, agree access points, and can schedule heavier tasks for inset days or holidays.
Most day-to-day grounds maintenance is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, certain works can need checks, such as tree pruning/removal (Tree Preservation Orders), work in conservation areas, or changes that affect boundaries, surfaces or drainage. We’ll flag anything that may require approval and help you confirm requirements with the London Borough of Merton where relevant. Our aim is compliant work with clear records for your site file.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed landscaping elements we supply and fit (for example, certain hard landscaping or constructed features). Routine maintenance tasks like mowing, hedge trimming and litter collection are covered by our service standards: if something agreed is missed or not finished to spec, we’ll return to put it right. Warranty terms depend on materials, usage and correct aftercare, which we explain upfront.
Alongside maintenance, we can recommend practical upgrades such as resilient turf or overseeding mixes for high-wear areas, low-maintenance shrub planting, seasonal bedding schemes, and safer surfacing options for edges and access routes. For pitches, we can advise on grass cultivars, topdressing and line marking systems. We’ll help you choose options based on footfall, shade, drainage and budget, then build them into a manageable maintenance plan.
