Terms and Conditions for Landscaping Canarywharf Services

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which landscaping services are provided by Landscaping Canarywharf, including garden maintenance, soft landscaping, planting, turfing, hedge care, clearance, and related outdoor works. By booking or accepting a quote for any landscaping Canarywharf service, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. If any part of these terms is unclear, the customer should ask for clarification before confirming a booking.

These terms apply to all domestic and commercial customers unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. They are intended to create a fair working relationship, protect both parties, and make the service process transparent. Nothing in these terms is intended to limit any rights that cannot legally be excluded under UK law.

The words “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the landscaping service provider. The words “you” and “your” refer to the customer, property owner, occupier, or authorised representative placing the booking. The use of different expressions such as landscaping service in Canarywharf, Canary Wharf landscaping works, or garden landscaping services does not change the meaning of these terms.

1. Booking Process

1.1 Enquiries and quotations

Booking begins when you make an enquiry for a landscaping service. We may request photographs, measurements, access details, and a description of the work required in order to prepare an accurate quotation. Any estimate provided before a site visit is based on the information available at the time and may be adjusted if the actual site conditions differ.

Where a site visit is necessary, we may inspect the property before confirming the final price, scope, and expected duration. Quotes are usually valid for a limited period and may be withdrawn or revised if material changes occur, including changes in labour costs, materials, waste volumes, or access arrangements. A quote does not become a binding contract until accepted by both parties.

1.2 Acceptance of booking

To confirm a booking for Landscaping Canarywharf services, you may need to accept the quotation in writing, by email, text message, or another recorded method. We may also require a deposit or scheduled payment in advance. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion, particularly where the work is outside our service scope, unsafe, unlawful, or impractical.

Once a booking is accepted, we will aim to carry out the work on the agreed date or within the agreed period. Any timings provided are estimates unless expressly stated otherwise. Weather, access issues, delayed approvals, supply shortages, or safety concerns may affect scheduling. In such cases, we may rearrange the appointment at a reasonable time.

2. Payments

2.1 Pricing and invoices

Prices may be provided as fixed quotes, daily rates, hourly rates, or staged payments depending on the nature of the work. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. Invoices should be checked promptly on receipt. If you believe an invoice is incorrect, you should raise the issue without delay so it can be reviewed.

For materials, waste disposal, specialist equipment, permits, or additional labour not included in the original quotation, extra charges may apply. We will normally seek approval before carrying out additional chargeable work, except where urgent action is needed to protect safety, prevent damage, or maintain the agreed service standards.

2.2 Deposit and final payment

We accept payment methods as notified at the time of booking. Late payments may result in suspension of further services, recovery action, and reasonable administration charges where permitted by law. If a payment plan has been agreed, failure to meet one instalment may make the outstanding balance immediately payable.

3. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Delays

3.1 Customer cancellations

If you need to cancel a booking for landscaping Canary Wharf works, you should notify us as soon as possible. Cancellations made with adequate notice may not incur a charge, depending on the resources already committed. If a booking is cancelled at short notice, we may charge for costs that cannot reasonably be recovered, including labour mobilisation, ordered materials, or lost appointment time.

Where a cancellation is made after materials have been purchased specifically for your project, you may be responsible for the cost of those materials if they cannot be returned or reused. Any refund due will be calculated after deducting legitimate expenses already incurred.

3.2 Our right to reschedule or cancel

We may need to postpone or cancel work due to adverse weather, unsafe conditions, staff illness, equipment failure, supplier delays, or any circumstance beyond our reasonable control. If this happens, we will seek to rearrange the work at a suitable time. We are not liable for inconvenience caused by a rescheduled visit where the delay is reasonable and unavoidable.

4. Site Conditions and Customer Responsibilities

4.1 Access and information

You must provide safe and reasonable access to the property at the agreed time. This includes ensuring that gates, entrances, paths, and working areas are available and that any security arrangements are communicated in advance. You should also inform us of hazards such as hidden services, uneven ground, pests, unstable structures, protected plants, or any known restriction affecting the works.

You are responsible for obtaining any permissions required from a landlord, management company, freeholder, or neighbour before the work begins. If consent is needed and not in place, we may refuse to proceed or may suspend the service until the issue is resolved. Any delay resulting from missing permissions may affect the schedule and final cost.

4.2 Accuracy of instructions

We will carry out the work according to the agreed specification. If your instructions change during the job, we may need to revise the price and completion time. It is your responsibility to review the scope carefully before work starts so that the service provided matches your expectations. If you request a different finish or altered design, that will usually be treated as additional work.

5. Liability

5.1 Our responsibility

We will use reasonable skill and care when providing landscaping services. However, natural materials such as turf, timber, soil, gravel, and plants may vary in appearance and performance, and some variation is normal. We do not guarantee specific biological results where outcomes depend on weather, site conditions, maintenance, or client care after completion. We are not responsible for pre-existing defects, hidden structural issues, or conditions not reasonably discoverable before work begins.

We shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of enjoyment, or damage arising from events outside our control, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be limited under UK law.

5.2 Customer property and belongings

You should remove or protect fragile items, valuables, vehicles, furniture, ornaments, and personal belongings from the work area before the service begins. While we will take reasonable care, we are not responsible for items left in areas where work is being carried out unless damage is caused by our proven negligence. If you ask us to move items, we may decline where the item is heavy, dangerous, valuable, or otherwise unsuitable to handle.

Any claim for damage must be raised promptly and supported by reasonable evidence. We may inspect the site and ask for photographs, invoices, or other documents relevant to the claim. Where liability is accepted, our obligation may be limited to repair, replacement, or refund of the affected part of the service, depending on the circumstances and the legal position.

6. Waste, Clearance, and Environmental Compliance

6.1 Waste handling

For landscaping work that generates waste, including soil, grass cuttings, branches, hedge trimmings, packaging, and old planting material, we will handle removal in accordance with applicable waste regulations. Waste may be separated, loaded, transported, and disposed of by us or by an authorised carrier. The customer must not assume that all waste is included unless this is expressly stated in the quotation.

Where waste removal is included, the service may be limited to the volume and type described in the quote. Additional waste beyond the agreed amount may incur extra charges. Hazardous waste, contaminated soil, asbestos, chemicals, or regulated materials require special handling and may not be accepted without prior arrangement. We reserve the right to stop work if waste is discovered that cannot lawfully be removed under the agreed terms.

6.2 Recycling and lawful disposal

We aim to dispose of waste responsibly and to follow applicable UK rules on transport, transfer, and disposal of controlled waste. If waste is left on site for the customer to dispose of, you are responsible for ensuring it is removed lawfully. We are not responsible for misuse, fly-tipping, or improper handling after handover if the waste has been lawfully transferred to you.

7. Materials, Plants, and Workmanship

Where we supply plants or materials, any care instructions should be followed after completion. Plants are living products and can be affected by season, climate, watering, soil quality, and aftercare. Unless otherwise agreed, plant survival is not guaranteed. Minor substitution may be necessary if a named plant or material becomes unavailable, provided the replacement is of similar quality and value.

Signs of wear, settling, or natural change may occur after landscaping works are completed. This does not automatically mean the service was defective. If a problem appears within a reasonable period, we may inspect the issue and determine whether it is due to workmanship, product quality, site conditions, or ongoing maintenance.

8. Complaints and Rectification

8.1 Reporting concerns

If you are unhappy with any part of the service, you should notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide details of the concern. We may ask for photographs or access to inspect the issue. Where a legitimate problem is found and we are responsible, we may choose to rectify the issue within a reasonable time instead of issuing a monetary refund.

Complaints raised long after the work was completed may be more difficult to assess, especially where the condition of plants, surfaces, or materials may have changed due to weather or lack of maintenance. You are expected to act reasonably and to take prompt steps to minimise further loss if a problem occurs.

9. Termination

We may suspend or end the service if you fail to pay, obstruct the work, provide unsafe access, request unlawful activity, or seriously breach these terms. In such cases, you remain liable for work already completed, materials already supplied, and reasonable costs incurred up to the point of termination.

10. Governing Law

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise. If any provision is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms will continue in effect.

This document is intended to support a clear and professional landscaping service agreement and to set expectations for garden landscaping, maintenance, and clearance works. By engaging Landscaping Canarywharf, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
