Landscaping and grounds

Lawn, landscaping, arborist and grounds crews on scheduled routes and contracts.

A record here is built from things like a scheduled visit you completed, confirmed by somebody other than the person who did it.

What gets recorded

Both directions. A record that only carries the good weeks is not a record, and the person it is about is told about every entry and can contest any of them.

Scheduled visit completed

Kept its word

The crew completed the scheduled grounds visit to the agreed scope.

Who confirms it
The property manager or homeownerCustomer or client
How they confirm
Confirmed by the property contact via the post-visit link the scheduling tool sends.
Due
the scheduled visit date on the route
Done
the date the crew actually completed the visit

Contract period paid

Kept its word

A seasonal or monthly maintenance contract period was delivered and paid.

Who confirms it
The paying property owner or manager (as recorded by the processor)Payment or marketplace
How they confirm
Auto-verified when a third-party processor records the payer as someone other than the worker.
Due
the end of the contract period
Done
the settlement date the processor recorded

Property manager reference confirmed

Kept its word

A property manager confirmed the crew maintained their sites reliably.

Who confirms it
The property managerCustomer or client
How they confirm
Requested via a reference link the property manager responds to.
Due
the end of the period being confirmed
Done
the date the reference was given

Return visit required

Fell short

The property contact required the crew to return because the visit did not meet the agreed scope.

Who confirms it
The property manager or homeownerCustomer or client
How they confirm
Recorded against the visit; the worker can dispute.
Due
the original scheduled visit date
Done
Nothing was delivered, so there is no completion time to compare against.

Due and done are the pair that decide whether something counts as delivered on time rather than merely delivered. Send one without the other and the outcome can only ever read as finished.

Who counts as a witness here

2 kinds of third party confirm work in this trade. None of them outranks another. The formula does not read this at all. What varies is how hard each one is for either side to lean on, which is a fact worth knowing and not a weighting.

Customer or client
The party the work was done for, or who took delivery of it: a homeowner, a patient, a client, a consignee, a family. They know first hand whether it happened.
Payment or marketplace
A processor or marketplace that independently recorded a payer other than the worker. Money moving from a third party is evidence somebody else was involved. It is never, on its own, evidence that the work was good.

What is not recorded against the person

A visit missed because of weather or site access is not the crew’s outcome. It goes nowhere near their record, and neither does anything else on the shared list: a customer who did not attend, a job the business itself pulled, conditions nobody controls, notified time off, or an opinion about the person.

The full list is on the index, and it is the same list for every trade.

How a confirmed outcome reaches a score

A confirmed outcome becomes evidence in a published formula, version 5.6, with five weights and six bands running from Distinguished down to At Risk. An outcome nobody else confirmed is still recorded, and it shows on the record as a claim rather than as evidence. No plan and no payment moves a score.

The record belongs to the person, not to the business that recorded the work. They take it with them. The model is published in full, and what an employer records covers the recording side.
