Schools and nurseries
What we do
Schools and nurseries need grounds that are safe and tidy for children every morning. We agree a schedule with the head, the business manager or the nursery owner, and we plan our visits around drop-off, pick-up and play times.
Karol and the team member who works with him on school sites are both DBS checked, and we hold public liability insurance. We are happy to show you the certificates before the first visit.
- Grass cutting and edging on lawns and playing fields
- Hedge and shrub trimming, kept clear of paths and fences
- Weeding and keeping borders and play areas tidy
- Leaf clearing from paths, playgrounds and steps
- Cutting back overgrown boundaries
- Repairs to fences, gates and paths
- Taking all green waste away

Good to know
Before we start
Bigger jobs, such as new fencing, paving or cutting back boundaries, can be done in the school holidays, when the site is empty.
Noisy work such as mowing and hedge cutting can be planned around lessons, exams and outdoor play.
Leaves and moss make paths and steps slippery in autumn and winter. Regular clearing keeps children and staff safer.
Tools and machinery stay with our team at all times and are never left where children can reach them.

Communal gardens
I highly recommend AK Gardening. I needed a job urgently and they came within a couple of days. They did a really good job pruning hedges and tidying the grounds of our church. Many parishioners have commented on how neat everything now looks.
