Terms and Conditions for Gardeners Raynes Park Services

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which gardening services are provided by Gardeners Raynes Park. They are intended to create a clear understanding between the service provider and the customer before any work begins. By booking any garden maintenance, landscaping, or related service, the customer agrees to these terms. The aim is to keep the arrangement straightforward, fair, and practical for both sides.

In these terms, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the gardening service provider, while “you” and “your” refer to the customer receiving the service. These terms apply to domestic and commercial customers unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. They should be read carefully alongside any written quotation, booking confirmation, or job specification.

If any part of these terms is unclear, it is important that questions are raised before the booking is confirmed. We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, operational needs, or service arrangements. The version in force at the time of booking will usually apply to that job unless a later written agreement replaces it.

Gardeners Raynes Park provides a range of gardening services, which may include lawn care, hedge trimming, planting, pruning, weeding, clearance, soft landscaping, and regular garden maintenance. The exact work to be carried out will depend on the quotation, the agreed schedule, and the condition of the site. Any tasks not expressly included in the agreed scope are outside the original service arrangement unless separately approved.

We reserve the right to decline or pause work where conditions are unsafe, access is restricted, or the requested work is unsuitable for the site. If a customer requests services beyond the original scope, we may provide a revised estimate or recommend a separate booking. A gardeners Raynes Park service should always be based on accurate information about the site so that the quotation and time required are realistic.

All materials, plants, and equipment supplied by us remain subject to availability and may vary according to seasonal stock or practical suitability. Where a customer wishes to supply their own materials, they must be appropriate for the intended work. We are not responsible for poor results caused by defective or unsuitable items supplied by the customer.

The booking process begins when the customer submits a request or accepts a quotation for the relevant gardening work. We may ask for details about the property, the size of the garden, the access arrangements, and the type of work required. This information helps us prepare a suitable schedule and estimate. Any quote is normally based on the information provided at the time and may change if the actual site differs from the description given.

Once a quotation is accepted, a booking is only confirmed when we acknowledge it in writing, by email, message, or other agreed method. A confirmed booking will usually include the date, approximate arrival time or time window, scope of work, and any special conditions. For recurring maintenance, the schedule may be repeated on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or seasonal basis as agreed.

Customers must ensure that someone authorised to approve the work is available where necessary, especially if access to locked areas, utilities, or shared parts of the property is needed. If we cannot gain access or if the site is not ready for the booked service, the appointment may be treated as a missed visit and a charge may still apply. A professional gardener in Raynes Park will rely on the customer to provide accurate instructions and timely access.

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or in the quotation. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice, and payment must be made in full without deduction. We may require part payment or a deposit for larger, seasonal, or specially ordered work. For one-off visits, payment may be required on completion of the service.

We accept payment by the methods stated in the booking confirmation or invoice. Any bank charges, transfer delays, or failed payments remain the customer’s responsibility. If payment is overdue, we may charge reasonable administration fees, suspend further work, or withhold future bookings until the account is settled. Interest may be applied on late sums where permitted by law.

All prices are subject to change if the scope of work changes, if unforeseen conditions are discovered, or if extra time, labour, or disposal is required. We will normally explain any proposed adjustment before continuing. The middle of any Raynes Park gardening service arrangement should be transparent, with clear charges for agreed work and any approved extras.

Cancellations and rescheduling must be made as early as possible. If you need to cancel or move a booking, please provide reasonable notice so that time can be reallocated. Where a booking is cancelled at short notice, a cancellation fee may apply to cover reserved labour, travel, or administrative costs. The amount of any fee will depend on the notice given and the nature of the work booked.

If we need to cancel or reschedule due to weather, staff availability, equipment failure, safety issues, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will use reasonable efforts to offer an alternative date. Gardening work is sometimes affected by conditions such as heavy rain, frost, strong winds, or waterlogged ground. In such cases, we may postpone part or all of the service for safety or quality reasons.

Where a customer repeatedly cancels, does not provide access, or fails to prepare the site, we may refuse future bookings. We also reserve the right to cancel a booking if there is a material breach of these terms, if payment is not made when due, or if carrying out the work would be unlawful or unsafe. These provisions are intended to keep a gardeners in Raynes Park agreement workable and fair.

Our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We will use reasonable skill and care when providing the services, but we do not guarantee that every garden will achieve a specific appearance or outcome, as natural conditions, weather, plant health, soil quality, and prior maintenance all affect results. Any advice we give is based on the information available at the time and should not be treated as an absolute guarantee.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or loss arising from the customer’s own failure to maintain the property or act on recommendations. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The customer is responsible for securing valuables, removing fragile items from work areas, and telling us about hazards such as hidden pipes, unstable structures, damaged paving, or aggressive animals. We will take reasonable care, but we cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by pre-existing defects, poor access, concealed conditions, or items left in work zones contrary to our instructions. Any claim should be reported promptly and supported with relevant details.

Waste removal and disposal are handled in line with applicable UK waste regulations. Green waste, soil, branches, leaves, grass cuttings, and similar material will be managed in a lawful and environmentally responsible way. Where waste is included in the service, it will usually be removed from site or disposed of through approved methods. Where waste removal is not included, the customer remains responsible for arranging lawful disposal unless we agree otherwise.

We may separate materials for recycling where practical and permitted. Certain items, such as treated timber, contaminated soil, building rubble, chemicals, batteries, or other non-garden waste, may require special handling and may attract additional charges. The customer must tell us in advance if the site contains materials that are not typical green waste. We will not knowingly transport or dispose of waste in breach of environmental or licensing rules.

If fly-tipping, illegal disposal, or unlawful burning of waste is requested by a customer, the request will be refused. Any waste transfer records, notes, or receipts kept by us will be maintained in accordance with applicable requirements. For any gardeners Raynes Park terms and conditions arrangement, both parties should understand that waste must be managed responsibly and in compliance with the law.

Customers must ensure that the property is reasonably accessible on the scheduled day and that any animals, fragile items, or obstacles are secured or removed. If gates, parking, shared entrances, or utility access are restricted, this may delay the service or increase the cost. We may need clear instructions before starting any work and may refuse to proceed if access cannot be made safe.

You are responsible for confirming that you have the right to authorise the work at the property. If the premises are rented, leasehold, managed, or shared, you must ensure that any necessary permissions are obtained before the booking. We are not responsible for disputes between neighbours, landlords, tenants, managing agents, or freeholders arising from the service, unless the issue is caused directly by our breach of duty.

If plant health treatment, pruning, or clearance is requested, the customer should understand that natural variation may affect results. Some plants may not recover, lawns may need ongoing care, and seasonal timing can influence appearance. Our liability does not extend to pre-existing plant disease, pest infestation, or deterioration caused by weather after completion. A gardeners Raynes Park service is therefore provided on a best-efforts basis, with reasonable professional care but without absolute horticultural guarantees.

We may take photographs before, during, and after the work for operational records, training, quality control, and evidence of completion. These images will be used only for legitimate business purposes and in line with applicable privacy obligations. We will not knowingly use customer images in a way that identifies the property or person unless consent has been given or the use is otherwise lawful.

Any complaint about the service should be raised as soon as reasonably possible so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, rectify the matter. We may ask for supporting information, including photographs or a description of the issue. If a problem is caused by something within our control, we will consider a reasonable remedy, which may include reattendance, correction, or a partial refund depending on the circumstances.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with the services, the booking, or these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless the law requires otherwise. By using Gardeners Raynes Park services, the customer agrees that any legal interpretation will be based on this governing law provision.
