School Grounds Maintenance Services

Seating Circle Maintenance Fee - £600 per year

Frequency of maintenance: Yearly 

An annual maintenance service to check over your seating circle and canopy. The team will setup your canopy, tighten the sky-wire, check hardware and inspect the poles.

Within warranty period, we will make any repairs free of charge. Outside warranty period, we will charge for materials only.

We will also throw in a free load of woodchip (worth £200) each visit!

Please note: our maintenance programmes do not replace the need for pre-use checks, regular equipment/site inspections and risk assessments. These remain the responsibility of the school or setting.

Pond Maintenance Fee – From £275 per year

Frequency of maintenance: Yearly 

Each pond we supply comes with a pond maintenance guide, however we understand that schools can be busy with limited man power to carry out some of these tasks.

Our team will check over your pond to ensure it is in the best condition for wildlife. This may include removing debris, algae, cutting back encroaching vegetation and overhanging branches. For raised ponds and dipping platforms we will carry out a thorough inspection and arrange any repairs necessary.

Please note: our maintenance programmes do not replace the need for pre-use checks, regular equipment/site inspections and risk assessments. These remain the responsibility of the school or setting.

Wildflower Meadow Maintenance Fee – From £550 per year

Frequency of maintenance: Yearly (usually summer to late summer) 

While we will provide advice for you to pass on to your regular ground maintenance teams, we also offer the option to have our team carry out meadow maintenance.

We will cut meadows at the optimal time of year when the weather is dry and then rake off the arisings to help scatter seed for the following year. If meadows need reseeding we will do so free of charge within the first 2 years, with a nominal fee to cover seed cost thereafter.

Woodland Maintenance Fee – From £550 per year

Frequency of maintenance: Yearly (between Nov-March)

Woodland areas can quickly become overgrown with overhanging branches and encroaching vegetation. Our woodland maintenance programme is a bespoke service specific to your setting.

We focus on safety first, removing any dead branches/dangerous trees and clearing pathways. Then we focus on removing sick or spindly trees to create space for healthier trees. Brash can be chipped and/or piled into habitat piles or used for den building activities. Logs can be left on site to be used as benches or taken away by our team.

Depending on the setting, maintenance may also include planting understory trees to ensure succession of tree cover for years to come.

Please note: our maintenance programmes do not replace the need for pre-use checks, regular equipment/site inspections and risk assessments. These remain the responsibility of the school or setting.

General Maintenance Fee – From £275 per year

Frequency of maintenance: Yearly (minimum) 

Sometimes you may have an area that doesn’t quite fall into any of the categories above. While we can’t maintain equipment provided by third parties, we can look after general vegetation maintenance and carry out regular inspections of equipment we have installed.

These are very much bespoke plans and depending on your setting you may require a visit once or twice a year. After a visit from one of our Project Officers we will come up with a bespoke plan which we will review on a yearly basis. We will focus on safety first and then work with nature in mind.

Please note: our maintenance programmes do not replace the need for pre-use checks, regular equipment/site inspections and risk assessments. These remain the responsibility of the school or setting.
