How to raise a concern: Customers are encouraged to report problems as soon as they arise. You may submit a formal complaint in writing or by email to the relevant department, quoting your service reference and dates of the visit.

The acknowledgement will outline the expected timeline, the investigator’s role and the next steps. A member of the management team will act as the point of contact to keep communication clear and consistent throughout the process.

Investigation: Our investigator will review the service notes, visit records and any photos you provide. We may arrange a site revisit by a senior gardener or supervisor to assess the work. During the investigation we will consider whether agreed specifications were followed, whether materials and planting matched expectations, and whether any damage was caused by our team. Where relevant, we will consult subcontractors involved in specific tasks.

Possible outcomes: After investigation, we will propose one or more of the following resolutions depending on the findings:

• Rework or completion at no additional charge;
• Partial or full refund for services not performed to the agreed standard;
• Replacement planting where plants failed as a direct result of our workmanship;
• Written apology and clarification of remedial steps for process improvement.

Timescales and escalation: We aim to complete initial investigations within 10 working days of receipt. If the matter is complex, we will inform you of any delay and provide a revised timetable.
