Scope and applicability

This procedure applies to all contractual and non-contractual garden services provided in the Brent Cross service region, including routine maintenance, landscaping, hedge and tree works, turfing, planting and seasonal contracts.

How to raise a concern

If you are dissatisfied with an aspect of your gardening service, please raise it promptly with the operative on site or via the client representative assigned to your job. For a formal record, submit a written summary of the concern with dates and a concise description of the issue. Our gardeners in Brent Cross will acknowledge receipt within the stated response timeframe and will outline the next steps. Use clear language, attach any supporting photographs or notes, and specify the outcome you are seeking.

Initial review — Once a concern is submitted, an initial review will be carried out by a supervisor with background in horticulture or site management. This review checks whether the issue is within scope, whether immediate remedial action is required, and if any health and safety risks are present. The assigned reviewer may contact relevant team members to gather facts and verify the sequence of work performed. Where appropriate, a site revisit will be scheduled to assess the situation in person.

She is wearing a navy blue cap, a matching short-sleeved shirt, and a striped apron, with light blue gardening gloves on her hands. In her right hand, she holds a small gardening tool or plant healthcare device. The background features well-maintained plant beds, a glass or plastic structure allowing natural light to illuminate the scene, and a mixture of textured soil and gravel surfaces, indicative of professional gardening or landscaping work in a well-kept outdoor or indoor plant environment, possibly near Brent Cross or in North West London. The scene captures a professional and welcoming atmosphere typical of gardening services provided by Gardeners Brent Cross. Investigation process — Investigations are structured to be impartial and timely. The investigator will collect evidence including job records, photographs, materials used, and any prior communications. Where specialist horticultural advice is needed, an experienced technician or subcontracted specialist may be consulted. Findings will be recorded and used to determine whether the original work met the agreed specification and industry standards. The goal is to reach a fair resolution without unnecessary delay.

Possible outcomes

Resolutions may include:
  • Re-performance of work to meet the agreed specification;
  • Partial or full remedial works at no additional cost;
  • Explanation and documentation showing that work met agreed standards;
  • Service recovery steps to prevent recurrence, such as amended schedules or revised instructions to operatives.
All outcomes will be documented and communicated to the client in writing.

Timescales and escalation — We aim to acknowledge complaints within two working days and to provide an initial response within ten working days. Complex matters that require site investigations or third-party advice may take longer; where this happens we will provide an interim update and an expected resolution date. If a complainant remains dissatisfied after the initial response, the matter can be escalated internally to a senior manager for a final internal review.
