School grounds maintenance near Horne

Fields, hedges and paths for schools in the villages and towns just outside Horne.

Horne is a parish of about 800 people, so school grounds maintenance near Horne really means the schools in the villages and towns around it: places like Smallfield and Horley, both within easy reach of our Horley base. We cut fields and verges, keep boundary hedges in check and keep paths clear, all on a schedule built around the school day.

Noisy jobs happen when pupils aren’t outside. Bigger work waits for the holidays. Fields are cut on a term-time rhythm, hedges are planned for autumn and winter, and leaf clearance keeps paths and playgrounds safe through November. And if a field is too wet to mow, we come back when it isn’t.

Playing fields on Wealden clay

School fields on this side of Surrey sit on the same heavy clay as Horne’s gardens. They get muddy in winter, compacted along the routes children run every day, and hard and cracked in a dry summer. We cut at a height that keeps the grass hardwearing and stay off the field when it’s waterlogged, so a wet week doesn’t leave ruts along the running routes.

Boundary hedges along rural roads need cutting back for visibility at the gates, and that’s planned for September to February.

School grounds maintenance, safeguarding and the calendar

We follow your procedures: signing in at reception, wearing badges and keeping to the areas agreed with your site manager. The same team comes each time, so the office knows who we are. If a teacher needs us to stop for an outdoor lesson, we stop. Nobody from our team works near pupils without the school knowing exactly where we are.

A school grounds maintenance contract with us comes with a written schedule for the year and a fixed price, invoiced monthly or quarterly. Clearances of neglected corners or overgrown boundaries can be booked for half-terms and the summer break.
