How to raise a concern. If you wish to register a complaint, please notify us by writing or by telling any member of staff directly at the next visit. When you make a complaint, please include: the nature of the concern, the address or location where work was performed, dates and times, and any photographs or evidence you consider relevant. We will confirm receipt and explain the next steps. Our process is designed to be accessible to all customers of gardening services in Marylebone and nearby neighbourhoods.

Acknowledgement and initial response

We will usually acknowledge your complaint within a short, defined period. This acknowledgement will outline who is dealing with the matter and an estimated timeframe for a substantive response. During this stage we may ask for clarification or additional information. A timely acknowledgement helps everyone understand expectations and reduces the risk of misunderstanding about actions or obligations.

Investigation process. Our investigation follows a consistent approach: we will gather facts, review site records and photographs, speak to the operative(s) involved and, where appropriate, revisit the site. Typical investigation steps include:

  • Record review: checking agreements, job sheets and invoices;
  • Site assessment: assessing the reported work or damage in person where possible;
  • Staff interview: discussing events with team members who attended the job;
  • Remedial planning: proposing practical options to put things right.

We strive for transparency throughout the investigation and will keep you informed of progress. If further time is required, we will explain why and indicate when you should expect the next update.

Resolution options and remedies

When a complaint is upheld, appropriate remedies are proposed based on the nature and severity of the issue. Remedies may include remedial work to correct defects, a partial adjustment to charges where work falls short of agreed standards, or other reasonable actions to restore confidence in our services. We recognise that not every outcome will be identical; decisions are made with fairness, practicality and safety in mind.

Escalation and review

If you are not satisfied with the proposed resolution, you can request an internal review. This is undertaken by a senior manager who was not part of the initial investigation. The review will re-examine the evidence, consider any new information and issue a final internal decision. We aim to complete reviews promptly and to document the reasoning behind outcomes so that both parties understand the basis for decisions.

Where an independent review is appropriate and available, we will explain the voluntary third-party options. We do not provide legal advice, but we may outline relevant, commonly available dispute resolution pathways. Our priority is to reach an outcome that is proportionate and practical for both the customer and the gardening company.
