Limitations & Specialist Requests

To keep you safe and compliant, we clarify the following:

• Tree work at height or requiring climbing/MEWPs is handled by specialist arborists; we can arrange and coordinate as part of your contract.
• Pesticide/herbicide applications are carried out in line with product labels and current legislation; certain treatments may require specific timing or notices.
• We do not undertake structural building works or major civils; however, we can recommend trusted partners.
• Sites with restricted access, complex security protocols, or safeguarding requirements (e.g., schools and hospitality environments) may need inductions and additional documentation prior to start.
• Waste volumes beyond typical green waste loads, or involving controlled waste, will be quoted separately.
• For listed or conservation sites, we follow local guidance and may recommend a bespoke maintenance plan.

If your site needs something unusual, we’ll scope it sensibly and provide a clear proposal.

How It Works

1. Enquiry and briefing
   Share your portfolio details, site plans, frequency targets, and any SLAs. We can review existing specifications or help you build one from scratch.

2. Site visit and assessment
   We inspect grounds, access, parking, and high-traffic areas. We note hazards and seasonal requirements, and capture photos for baseline records.

3. Proposal and schedule
   You receive a clear scope with visit frequencies, seasonal grounds maintenance schedules, and pricing options (e.g., monthly, fortnightly, weekly). We can align with contracted maintenance and SLAs.

4. Documentation and mobilisation
   We provide insurance information, method statements, and risk assessments and compliance documents as needed. For sensitive sites, we complete out of hours and site inductions before start.

5. Service delivery
   Our uniformed team attends as scheduled, carries out agreed tasks, and logs work completed. We tidy and remove green waste after each visit.

6. Reporting and communication
   Optional visit reports, photo evidence, and recommendations for improvements or remedial works. Issues are escalated promptly to your site contact.

7. Reviews and continuous improvement
   Quarterly or seasonal reviews to refine the plan, control costs, and maintain standards.

• Seasonality and growth rates (extra visits in peak season)
• Waste handling and disposal requirements
• Specialist tasks (e.g., pressure washing, tree works, planting)
• Compliance and onboarding (inductions, permits, safeguarding)
• Multi-site portfolios and route density

We can quote per-visit, monthly, or annual contracts with agreed schedules. For accurate pricing, visit our Pricing page or request a tailored proposal via Get A Quote.

Local Service In North London

We understand local site realities in North London—from tight access courtyards and underground parking to shared pathways and mixed-use estates. Our teams are used to timed deliveries, concierge coordination, lift/stair access, and maintaining clean presentation in high-footfall areas.

For block management and estates, we work sensitively around residents and contractors, keeping communal gardens, bin stores, and entranceways neat. Retail and office sites often need works outside trading hours; we can plan dawn or dusk visits to minimise disruption across N postcodes. Schools and hospitality sites may require DBS checks or specific safeguarding measures; we follow your procedures and timetable grounds care around term times and events.

Where parking is restricted in North London, we plan kit loads and vehicle types accordingly. We also provide clear RAMS ahead of higher-risk tasks and keep your property manager or FM updated throughout.
