The frequency and timing of the Gardener’s visits is also specified in Schedule 1, together with the fees payable.
If the Gardener is providing materials as well as services, there are provisions for obtaining the Landlord’s approval of the cost. Clause 7 contains optional guarantee provisions in relation to hard landscaping work carried out by the Gardener.
