We use a socially sustainable approach to both people and your environment

Q3’s approach is underpinned by our 3 Q-values, delivering quality services, through quality people to quality workplaces. The result is a grounds maintenance service that delivers not only value for money but also high social value. With contracts all over the UK, we have an active programme of local charitable engagement, investing in garden and orchard projects, and fundraising. For us, social value is a natural extension of sustainability – not just in terms of environment and CO2 emissions but also in in the sense of operating a sustainable business model that respects our people and engages with the communities in which we work.

We create and maintain attractive environments

When clients, customers, suppliers, or colleagues arrive at your properties, the first thing they will notice will be your outside spaces. You cannot underestimate just how important that can be in terms of creating an important first impression.

So, you need to concentrate on creating and maintaining clean, attractive and safe spaces, both outdoors and indoors, to reinforce the positive effect they have on the commercial brand, workforce morale, visitors’ perception and the environment. Q3 really understands that!

We keep space safe and operational through time

Our experience in grounds maintenance and landscaping allows us to shape and translate your vision for the external environment. Our experts have the experience to survey commercial landscapes to generate great ideas for enhancing the space, such as incorporating colourful flowerbeds, arbours, incidental seating or peaceful retreats. And, we can create a development plan and associated seasonal maintenance plan, tailored to your precise requirements and budget.

We put your people first

Q3 believes that FM is about looking after the people in buildings, as much as it is about looking after the actual buildings. A similar mindset applies to the outside spaces because this is where your staff and your clients will take a break, socialise, have private meetings, retreat from work pressure, or simply relax and have lunch. By shaping a welcoming external environment for your people, with good facilities and maintenance, you will be directly influencing their physical, mental and social wellbeing.

We care about sustainability and social value

Working in the natural environment, we take sustainability and environmental responsibility extremely seriously. Q3 works to promote biodiversity and environmentally friendly solutions, through a strong environmental policy and Planet Mark accreditation. We carefully select the latest chemicals to eliminate or minimise the amount of environmental damage and all the green waste we remove from site is 100% recycled. We utilise battery-powered tools and ride-on mowers on many contracts to reduce our reliance on petrol and diesel, as part of our plan to deliver Net Zero by 2035.

Expertise in ground maintenance that values your budget and your environment

Q3 are the go-to experts for organisations seeking a bespoke approach to designing, maintaining and managing outdoor spaces, across virtually every sector and commercial scenario. We’ll guarantee a cost-effective solution, through either a long-term or short-term contract, all tailored to your needs and budget.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send in my thanks to Emma, who helped me on Saturday when my Mum passed out in front of TK Maxx. Emma was very friendly, calm and efficient, I don't know what I would have done without her. She was so professional and knew exactly what was needed I couldn't believe it when screens turned up and a wheel chair, all organised by Emma without making myself or especially my Mum feel stupid or an inconvenience. Please can you pass on mine, my Mum's and family's thanks to Emma, she is a star and a very kind person.
