Yard Improvement Services Access Consent

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
  • Yard Improvement Agreement

    I consent to employees and parties authorized by the Trail Area Health & Environment Home & Garden Program (SNC-Lavalin Inc.) entering and having continued access to the property listed at the above address for the following purposes:

    • Planning and performing the prescribed yard improvement services, which may include:
      • Lawn care – core aeration, overseeding (applying sterile soil and grass seed), fertilizing, watering consultation.
      • Landscaping– mulching flower gardens and under play structures, improving high traffic footpaths (e.g. installing paving stones), placing sod in worn lawn areas.
    • Obtaining photographs and drawings to record improvement activities and ground cover status.
    • Providing three to five visits through the duration of the lawn care service period (12 months) to check the condition of lawn areas and to re-apply fertilizer or over seeding, as necessary.

    As indicated in the information provided by the THEP’s soils program, I understand that these activities are being conducted to improve the lawn quality and/or ground cover where children spend time and promote the upkeep of a healthy lawn and outdoor play areas.

    I agree to contact the THEP Home & Garden Program Office to communicate any concerns or if I’m unable to provide continued access (e.g. change of ownership), and to share my contact information with the yard improvement contractor.

    This permission is given by me voluntarily with knowledge of my right to refuse. This agreement is only for the purposes described above and for no other work.

     

  • COVID-19 Resident Interaction Acknowledgement

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Home & Garden (H&G) Team has developed safety protocols to adapt interactions with property owners, residents, and members of the community (referred to as residents) during the 2020 field season. The intention of this document is to align our work with the direction provided from the Ministry of Health (www.gov.bc.ca) in order to work safely within the COVID-19 crisis.

    The H&G team provides a range of services and may include the following activities: obtaining access consent, on-site planning, delivery of supplies, soil testing, soil excavation, landscaping, and lawn care treatment. H&G staff and our contractors will be abiding by the following safety protocols to minimize the risks of COVID-19 transmission:

    • Property access consents will be submitted online at www.thep.ca or emailed to programs@thep.ca.
    • H&G staff and contractors will NOT enter residences. Residents will be contacted to determine the preferred way to interact (eg. text, video call, phone).
    • Documents that require review or approval will be sent electronically.
    • When H&G staff and contractors are on the property to complete field activities (i.e. ground-cover evaluation, property walk-throughs, excavation monitoring, soil testing, etc. they will take the following precautions:
      • Text or call the resident to note their arrival (instead of knocking on the door).
      • Avoid physical contact such as handshakes when greeting people.
      • Maintain a distance of 2 metres (m) apart from residents while on site.
      • Wear clean nitrile gloves when delivering supplies to be left for the resident (e.g. garden kits or hoses).
      • Reduce in-person meetings to virtual meetings and hold site meetings outside while maintaining physical distancing requirements.
      • Provide a scheduled daily phone or email check-in with the resident at active sites.
    • H&G staff and contractors always follow rigorous health and safety protocols and have adapted work practices to include COVID-19 hygiene best practices including daily personal health monitoring, frequent hand washing, and disinfecting high touch surfaces

    Note that because of this situation, delays in providing services may be experienced. Please help us by abiding by the following guidelines to help keep our community safe. Without these measures, we will not be able to provide yard and garden programs.
