Record new planting in the shared instructions.
Ashtead / GARDEN PLANNING
If someone else will provide entry or receive the completed-work update, make their role clear. One consistent set of instructions helps keep the approved tasks, practical access and any changes aligned.

A LIVING SPACE, NOT A FIXED CHECKLIST
Actual conditions may raise questions even when access is straightforward.

Record new planting in the shared instructions.

Review suitable cutting rather than rely on old preferences.

Agree appropriate seasonal changes through the authorised contact.

Communicate deferrals when ground conditions are unsuitable.
AT A GLANCE
| Service | Best suited for | Typical work |
|---|---|---|
| Garden maintenance | Clearly authorised routine tasks | Named beds and suitable light pruning |
| Lawn care | Specified grass sections | Assessed mowing and edging |
| Hedges & shrubs | Identified shrubs | Suitable trimming with an approved objective |
| Garden clearance | Listed unwanted vegetation | Clearance authorised before removal |
READ YOUR GARDEN

Label the grass section in the agreed instructions.
Identify specimens and retained outlines clearly.
Mark beds and containers excluded from the task.
Explain the actual route the entry contact will open.
Agree disposal rather than leaving the decision to arrival.
Ashtead / YOUR GARDEN BRIEF
For an Ashtead enquiry, explain who books, who grants entry and who may approve changes if these are different people. Share only necessary contact information and ensure permission to do so. A person opening a gate should not be expected to decide unapproved removals.
PRICE THE WORK, NOT THE POSTCODE
Confirm who approves the quotation and any extras. Access permission alone should not be treated as spending authority.
The light-clearance guide is not a fixed charge for every task suggested by an entry contact.
See clearance pricing| Service | Pricing basis | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Routine garden maintenance | Approved priorities and working areas | Routine quote after assessment |
| Lawn mowing & edging | Included grass and route | Assessed lawn price |
| Hedge & shrub trimming | Suitable trimming and cuttings | Photo-based or assessed shrub quote |
| Small green-waste collection | Agreed vegetation and loading arrangements | From £40 |
| Light garden clearance | Authorised clearance and disposal | Typically £100–£300 |
| Large overgrown garden | Heavy growth and handling requirements | From £500 |
Supplied items, disposal and changes should reach the appropriate decision-maker. Keep the accepted total and scope clear before attendance is arranged.

Only if they have that authority. Access and spending decisions should not be confused.
Share only necessary information with appropriate permission and a clear purpose.
Agree the designated contact beforehand so the result is reviewed against the approved brief.
Unapproved changes need the appropriate authority and agreement before expanding the task.
Update the arrangement so access, approvals and reporting remain clear.
Wait for confirmation of the visit and agreed access method.
Submit the full address, authorised roles and task list, then obtain confirmation before preparations.
