Schools in SE18 need grounds that look welcoming and stay safe in all weathers. We maintain sites across Woolwich, including around Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Town Centre, with planned visits that fit around drop-off, pick-up and events. Our team covers lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection and weed control to keep entrances, paths and play areas clear. You get consistent standards, clear reporting and a site that’s always presentable.
Woolwich is a historic military town in the middle of major regeneration, so school sites often sit beside busy roads, new developments and older streets. We’re used to working around Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments where access can be tight and parking restricted. Wind exposure near the Thames and heavy footfall can stress turf and borders, especially on sports areas. Our maintenance plans are built to suit your site layout, usage and safeguarding requirements.
We start with a site walkover, risk notes and a seasonal schedule covering mowing, edging, pruning, pitch care and planting. Visits are timed to reduce noise and keep pupils away from active work zones, with tidy-ups and waste removal included. You’ll have a single point of contact, photo updates when needed, and clear recommendations for any remedial works. Fine Landscaping is trusted locally because we turn up when promised and leave sites cleaner than we found them.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, we see compact sites, shared access roads and strict delivery times, particularly near Royal Arsenal and the ferry routes. We plan for parking limits, school gates and safeguarding procedures, and we bring the right kit to avoid blocking paths. Thames-side wind and shade from taller buildings can affect turf density and moss levels, so we adjust mowing, feeding and weed control accordingly. Where sites border public footpaths, we prioritise litter, visibility splays and tidy perimeters.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and what’s included (lawns, hedges, litter, playground checks, sports pitches and seasonal planting). As a guide, smaller sites often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area grounds can be £800–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups are commonly £350–£1,500+. We’ll survey your SE18 site and provide a clear, itemised range.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for a smaller site and 4–8 hours for larger grounds with multiple lawns, hedges and play areas. Sports pitch care, tree work and seasonal planting can add time, especially during autumn leaf fall and spring growth. Timings depend on access, safeguarding restrictions, waste volumes and weather. We schedule work around school hours and can split tasks across visits to minimise disruption.
Most routine grounds maintenance (mowing, hedge trimming, weeding, litter collection and planting) doesn’t require planning permission. However, tree works may be subject to Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and some sites have additional landlord or academy trust requirements. We’ll check constraints, advise on what’s allowed, and help with any applications if needed. We also work to safe access and noise considerations near public routes.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed works (such as hard landscaping elements we build as part of grounds improvements). For ongoing maintenance, we guarantee visits are completed to the agreed specification, with any missed items corrected promptly. Living materials (turf, plants) depend on weather, site use and watering, but we’ll advise on aftercare to maximise success. All work is documented for accountability.
We can tailor a plan covering lawn care, sports pitch renovation, hedge trimming, tree pruning, weed control and seasonal planting schemes. Popular upgrades include durable turf reinforcement for goalmouths, low-maintenance shrub beds, pollinator-friendly planting, and safer surfacing repairs around play zones. We’ll recommend plant choices that cope with heavy footfall and shade from buildings. You’ll get a practical schedule that fits term dates and budget priorities.
