How We Have Adapted Our Grounds Maintenance & Landscaping Contracts For COVID-19

Here at The Grounds Care Group, the health and safety of our clients and employees has always been at the forefront of our minds. Despite the ongoing crisis, our expert teams continue to work hard to ensure that your premises are well taken care of with no compromise on the high level of service that we have become renowned for. Whether you are looking for routine grounds maintenance or one-off vegetation management, we’re here to help.

How Are We Adapting How We Work During The Coronavirus Outbreak?

Our teams are still working hard to provide clients across The South East with grounds maintenance services and solutions, continuing to maintain your external spaces to take away any unnecessary landscaping and grounds care stresses during this challenging time.

To continue to provide our services, however, we have had to make a few changes in order to adhere to all of the latest Government guidelines and ensure the safety of our clients and colleagues during this period. Some of these changes are as follows:

Maintaining Social Distancing – Whilst our teams would previously work together to collaborate on projects, we have now taken steps to ensure that we are only providing ‘one-man teams’. This means that employees will no longer be commuting together in close proximity within vehicles, or coming into contact with one another whilst on the job.

Minimising Cross Contamination – Not only does working as individuals reduce the risk of colleagues coming into close contact with one another, but it also minimises any cross-contamination from shared equipment.

Maintaining High Standards Of Hygiene – All of our members of staff will be provided with adequate PPE and hand sanitising products, to ensure that they are minimising the risk of any germs being spread. Gloves will be worn when appropriate and any surfaces that we have touched will be disinfected before and afterwards.

Minimising Client Contact – We will no longer be meeting with clients face to face and request that steps are taken, when we arrive on-site, to avoid any unnecessary close proximity between clients and our team. We will instead, where possible, be contacting clients over the phone to discuss any projects or alternatively clients are able to login to our live reporting system. We will also be taking payments online or over the phone, no cash transactions will be accepted during this time.

Our New Covid-19 Disinfection Service (Offices, Hospitals, Fleet Vehicles, etc).

It’s vital during this time that businesses take every step to ensure the safety of their customers and colleagues, and so are now proud to provide a specialist decontamination cleaning service that involves a sanitising treatment, killing 99.9% of germs which will keep critical surfaces and touchpoints hygienic for longer.
