Accessibility Statement for Blackfriars Garden Maintenance Services
We are committed to making our Blackfriars garden maintenance and garden care services accessible to as many people as possible. Access is central to the way we plan grounds and lawn work across the Blackfriars area. This statement describes the measures we have put in place to support users with different needs, and how we apply inclusive design when delivering local garden maintenance services.
Our site and public materials aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards wherever relevant. We review content and tools to ensure that contrast, layout, and navigation meet recognised accessibility criteria. Compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA is a target for site content and published resources about Blackfriars garden upkeep, and we run regular checks to identify areas for improvement.
We provide enhanced screen-reader support for essential content and service descriptions. Key pages and booking-related content are structured with semantic HTML headings and lists to help screen readers interpret the information. For clarity, we use accessible labels and ARIA roles where necessary, and we describe imagery and diagrams in alternative text so that people using assistive technology can access information about garden layouts, planting plans, and maintenance schedules.
Keyboard Navigation and Usability
Keyboard-only navigation is supported across our core service pages and scheduling tools for garden maintenance in Blackfriars. All interactive controls are reachable using standard tab/shift-tab sequences and provide visible focus indicators. We avoid keyboard traps and ensure that modal dialogs, form fields, and pop-ups can be opened and closed via keyboard controls. Keyboard accessibility is tested across common browsers and assistive technologies.
We pay attention to content readability: font size, line length, and spacing are adjusted for legibility, and content adapts to different viewport sizes so information about Blackfriars garden care remains accessible on mobile devices and desktop screens. Where maps or photos are used to explain grounds maintenance tasks, we offer text alternatives and descriptive captions so no information is lost.
To support a wide range of assistive technologies we document compatibility and include a clear structure for headings and lists. For example, our service lists include:
- regular lawn maintenance and seasonal pruning;
- planting and bed management aligned with local Blackfriars conditions;
- specialist access arrangements for people with mobility requirements.
Ongoing Improvements and How to Request Assistance
We are continually improving accessibility across our services and communications. Regular audits and user testing help us prioritise fixes and enhancements. Staff involved in Blackfriars garden maintenance programmes receive accessibility awareness training so in-field signage, safety notices, and printed materials are as inclusive as possible.
If you need information in an alternative format, require additional assistance, or want to report an accessibility issue with our materials or booking tools, please contact us using the public contact options we provide. We welcome requests for large-print, easy-read, audio, or other alternative formats and will respond to accessibility requests promptly.
