What is ArbDesk for Landscapers?

A ready-made paperwork system for commercial landscaping contractors

ArbDesk gives you organised, editable RAMS, COSHH, equipment checks, site briefings and safety records built specifically for UK landscaping and grounds maintenance work.

Instead of starting from blank documents or patching together old RAMS, you get a structured system you can adapt for each job, site and client — covering everything from mowing and hedge cutting to pesticide application, hard landscaping and excavation.

ArbDesk gives you a clear framework for RAMS, method statements, site-specific information and the records that support the work — structured around how landscaping and grounds maintenance actually runs on site.

  • Hazard-based risk assessment covering landscaping operations
  • Method statement format that follows the work sequence

  • 13 equipment pre-use checks for landscaping machinery
  • Editable Word and Excel documents — no locked files
Why it matters

Good landscapers lose work with weak paperwork

You can be excellent on site and still look unprepared when a principal contractor asks for RAMS, COSHH, pesticide records, site briefings or equipment checks. ArbDesk gives you the structure before the pressure is on.

Stop rebuilding RAMS every time

Start with a proper framework instead of rewriting old files whenever a commercial grounds maintenance contract lands.

Submit stronger paperwork

Use RAMS, method statements, COSHH and supporting records that look organised and professional from the first submission.

Cover the compliance you need

Pesticide application records, LOLER, working at height, lone working — all the documents commercial clients expect to see.

Be ready for bigger contracts

Show facilities managers, local authorities and principal contractors that your paperwork is as organised as your work on site.

Built from real work

Built by a practising UK contractor

ArbDesk for Landscapers was built by a working UK contractor who got tired of spending evenings rewriting RAMS before commercial jobs — and frustrated that every generic template was written by someone who’d never submitted paperwork to a principal contractor on a real commercial site.

The documents were developed through real work, refined around what facilities managers, local authorities and commercial clients actually ask for, and structured to cover the full range of hazards that landscaping and grounds maintenance work actually involves.

This is not a generic office template. It is a working system built by someone who still uses it.
