The great thing about our quoting process is that it gives our customers the control to self assess the work they need done and dictate the amount of hours they would like to hire two gardeners for. 95% of the time, our customers are spot on with their time estimations.
When we arrive at your residence will complete a Job Assessment which will confirm the following –

• Your time estimate is accurate or;
• Your time estimate is not accurate, more time is required.
  

If your time estimate is accurate we will complete works as agreed. If we indicate to you that more time is required, we will do this prior to the commencement of your service at which point you can agree to one (1) the following four (4) options –

• Honour the existing booking time and quote and prioritise your gardening tasks to ensure we stay within your advised time frame or;
• Request additional time with your gardeners (if their schedule allows they will accommodate you) or;
• Reschedule the additional works for another time or;

There is always loads of stuff to do in the garden so if you would like our crew to do some extra items please feel free to put them to task and get some additional items done.
