This accessibility statement describes the steps we have taken to ensure that people who use assistive technologies can access our information about gardening services, lawn care and garden maintenance. We follow recognised standards and continually improve our approach to accessibility for local gardeners and clients in the community.

We aim to comply with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines as a baseline for accessibility of our online and digital materials.

We prioritise clarity, meaningful headings, and text alternatives for non-text content used in service descriptions and area-specific pages.

Behind it, a flower bed edged with black plastic border contains a variety of plants, including tall yellow tulips and red tulips with green foliage, along with some ornamental greens that add texture to the garden. The flower bed is mulched with wood chips, creating a natural contrast against the grass. In the background, a white picket fence runs along the edge of the garden, with a house featuring grey siding and white-framed windows partially visible.
