Generally
- You are responsible to ensure the overall impression of the development is maintained to the highest standard at all times.
Exclusions
- The following will not be part of the normal duties but may be added during the contract if requested by the residents.
- Watering. This is because the gardeners attend during the day which is the wrong time to water in the hot sun and the additional labour time that would be required would be very costly.
- Supply of additional plants to add colour or fill gaps.
- Replacement of plants which die during the developers’ warranty period.

This is our "Standard" specification that we use initially on all sites. With the help of residents we can agree a "Bespoke" specification for your site.
We strongly recommend that residents form a garden committee which will achieve the best results from the gardening contractor. Having paid for their time if they are directed how to spend that time each week, they will do what residents want done, and not just routinely cut the grass as their first job.
