This Northern Illawarra preschool needed a one-off tidy across several outdoor areas. The work covered the learning spaces, paths, entrance, staff area and car park, with the aim of improving presentation while respecting the layout and materials already in place.

Care across the whole site

Education grounds are made up of many small zones rather than one simple lawn or garden bed. Each area needed a slightly different approach, from clearing the car park and entrance to tidying paths and play spaces without disturbing equipment or established planting.

Blowing, clearing and putting materials back

Leaf litter and loose debris were blown from the hard surfaces and edges. Where sand and mulch had moved out of their intended areas, they were returned and levelled rather than simply blown elsewhere. This kept paths cleaner and helped the play and garden areas look more defined.

Presentation matters at entrances and shared spaces

The entrance and car park are the first areas families and staff see. Clearing these spaces, alongside the learning areas and staff zone, gave the whole site a more consistent and cared-for finish.

What this visit included

  • Blowing leaf litter and loose debris from hard surfaces
  • Returning displaced sand and mulch to the appropriate areas
  • Tidying outdoor learning and play spaces
  • Clearing paths, the entrance and car park
  • Leaving work areas clean and presentable
