Dulwich Diggers carried out a full external landscaping upgrade for a school site, delivering a safe, functional, and visually appealing outdoor environment.

Works Included

  • Supply and installation of artificial turf (astro turf) for designated play and activity areas

  • Laying of new tarmac surfacing to improve access

  • Construction and planting of new flower beds

  • Soft landscaping works to enhance the natural aesthetics of the site

  • Installation of resin-bound bark and rubber mulch surfacing in play zones for safety and low maintenance

  • Supply and installation of sun sails to provide shaded outdoor areas

  • Construction of Concrete bases for outdoor structures

  • Full site clean-up and handover upon completion

Project Challenges

  • Some works had to be carried out while the school was open, putting an extra emphasis on safety

  • Any work scheduled for the holidays had to be finished for when the school re opened

  • The school sits on a large 13 acre site with only 1 access point

  • The school is open to summer camps so communication with external companies was key

Project outcomes

  • Durable, low-maintenance play surfaces installed

  • Improved comfort with shaded seating and activity areas

  • Visually appealing landscaping that enhances the school environment
