Landscaping Reinstatement Signoff Missing Before Retention Release Email Template

Use this page when retention release is delayed because the buyer says landscaping reinstatement, planting reinstatement, or external-works restoration signoff still has not been completed. This is different from a general site-cleaning or access-restoration issue because it specifically targets reinstatement of landscaped or external finished areas. The business problem is that the main project may already be accepted, but retained money is still being withheld because the buyer says landscaping restoration has not been finally approved. Your email should ask whether landscaping signoff is the only remaining blocker, which external area or planting package is still open, whether reinstatement work has already been completed, and whether retention will be released once that narrow issue is signed off. The outcome you want is to stop broad external-works complaints and force the buyer to name the exact landscaping item still holding the cash. It is commercially strong because retention can remain overdue on otherwise completed projects when one last reinstatement signoff has not been formally closed.
