Terms and Conditions for Landscaping Hoxton Services

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which landscaping services are provided by Landscaping Hoxton to residential and commercial clients. By making a booking, confirming an estimate, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before placing an order for any Hoxton landscaping service, garden maintenance, soft landscaping, hard landscaping, planting, clearance, or related works.

These terms are designed to create a clear understanding between the customer and the service provider. They explain how bookings are made, when payments are due, how cancellations are handled, and what responsibilities each party has. They also cover important legal matters including liability, disposal of waste, and the law that applies to the agreement. References to landscape services in Hoxton and similar wording are used throughout for clarity, but the terms apply to all work carried out under the service name.

In these terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the service provider operating under the name Landscaping Hoxton. “You” and “your” refer to the customer, including anyone acting on behalf of a homeowner, landlord, tenant, business, property manager, or other authorised person. “Services” means any gardening or landscaping work we agree to undertake, whether arranged as a one-off visit or as part of a recurring contract.

1. Booking Process

All bookings for Hoxton landscaping services must be made through a valid quotation, proposal, written confirmation, or other accepted booking method. A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the request and, where applicable, received any required deposit or advance payment. Any dates or times suggested before confirmation are estimates only and do not form a binding guarantee until we expressly confirm the appointment.

Before work begins, we may request photographs, measurements, access details, and a description of the area to be worked on. This helps us assess the nature of the job and determine whether additional materials, equipment, or labour will be needed. If the customer provides incomplete or inaccurate information, the scope of the booking may need to change, and the final price may be adjusted accordingly.

The customer must ensure that the site is reasonably accessible on the agreed date and that any necessary permissions have been obtained. This includes permission from landlords, managing agents, neighbours, freeholders, or other relevant parties where required. We may refuse to start or continue work if access is blocked, if the site is unsafe, or if carrying out the work would breach any law, regulation, or site restriction.

2. Estimates, Scope, and Changes

Any quote or estimate for landscaping Hoxton work is based on the information available at the time it is issued. Unless stated otherwise, estimates are valid for a limited period and may be withdrawn or revised if material costs, labour availability, or job details change. Quotes may be fixed-price or based on hourly rates, but any assumptions, exclusions, and optional extras should be treated as part of the agreed scope.

If the customer asks for changes after a booking has been confirmed, we may revise the price, schedule, or method of work. Examples include additional planting, extra clearance, upgraded materials, revised designs, or work that becomes necessary because the site condition is different from what was originally described. We will normally explain any adjustment before carrying out the additional work, but if urgent action is needed to avoid delay or damage, we may proceed where reasonable.

We are not responsible for delays caused by weather, restricted access, missed appointments, hidden site conditions, supply problems, or other factors beyond our reasonable control. Where such issues arise, we will try to agree a revised appointment date or alternative arrangement. The customer remains responsible for making sure the site is ready in time for the planned service.

3. Payments

Payment terms will be stated in the quotation, invoice, or booking confirmation. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due immediately upon completion of the work or within the period shown on the invoice. For larger projects or recurring Hoxton landscaping service arrangements, we may require a deposit, staged payments, or payment in advance for materials.

Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer and any other method we notify the customer of in advance. Cash payments, if accepted, should be made in accordance with the instructions provided. The customer must ensure that all payments are made in full and without deduction, set-off, or withholding unless required by law.

If payment is late, we reserve the right to charge interest and reasonable recovery costs to the extent permitted by UK law. We may also suspend further work, withhold delivery of materials, or cancel future appointments until overdue sums are settled. Ownership of any materials supplied by us may remain with us until payment has been received in full, where permitted by law and where such retention has been clearly stated.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and No-Shows

If you need to cancel or reschedule a booking for landscaping Hoxton services, you should notify us as early as possible. The amount of notice required may depend on the size and nature of the job, and any specific cancellation rules will be set out in the quote or booking confirmation. Where a cancellation is received after materials have been ordered, labour has been scheduled, or preparatory work has started, charges may still apply.

If the customer cancels at short notice, refuses access, or fails to be present where presence is required, we may charge a cancellation fee or the full booked amount, depending on the circumstances and the loss we have incurred. This may include the cost of materials, reserved labour, travel, and administration. If we are forced to postpone due to weather, safety concerns, or circumstances outside our control, we will seek to rearrange the work rather than treat it as a customer cancellation.

We reserve the right to cancel or suspend services where the customer is abusive, dishonest, repeatedly unavailable, or in breach of these terms. We may also cancel if the site is unsafe, if there is a legal or practical obstacle to completing the work, or if the customer has not paid amounts already due. In such cases, any refund or compensation will be assessed fairly, taking into account work completed and costs already incurred.

5. Customer Responsibilities

The customer must ensure that the work area is clear of personal belongings, hazards, and obstructions before the service begins. Items such as garden furniture, ornaments, tools, toys, cables, and fragile objects should be removed or identified in advance. We will take reasonable care, but we are not responsible for damage caused by items left in the work area if they were not clearly disclosed or protected.

The customer must also provide accurate instructions and disclose any known risks, including underground services, drainage issues, hidden structures, or protected plants and features. If the customer wants specific items to be retained, relocated, or treated with special care, this must be made clear before work begins. Failure to provide adequate instructions may affect the outcome of the service and may limit our responsibility.

Where our team needs access to water, electricity, parking, or storage space, the customer must make reasonable arrangements in advance unless otherwise agreed. Any delay caused by unavailable access or failure to prepare the site may lead to extra charges. The customer should also keep children and pets away from the working area while the service is underway.

6. Waste Removal and Environmental Compliance

Waste removal linked to Hoxton landscaping work will be handled in line with applicable UK waste management requirements. Green waste, soil, rubble, packaging, old materials, and other debris may be removed as part of the service if this has been agreed in advance. Any waste left on site or collected for disposal will be handled responsibly, and we will use suitable disposal or recycling routes where reasonably available.

The customer must disclose any waste that may be hazardous, contaminated, or subject to special handling, including asbestos, chemicals, oils, treated timber, clinical waste, sharps, or other regulated materials. We are not obliged to remove hazardous waste unless we have specifically agreed to do so and are legally permitted to handle it. If such materials are discovered during the work, we may stop and request further instructions or refuse to continue that part of the job.

Where waste transfer documentation, carrier arrangements, or additional licences are needed, we may either arrange these ourselves or ask the customer to make suitable arrangements, depending on the nature of the work and the law applicable at the time. Any waste produced by the service must not be fly-tipped, mixed improperly, or disposed of in a way that breaches environmental rules. The customer agrees not to request or encourage unlawful disposal methods.

7. Liability, Damage, and Limitations

We will carry out all landscaping Hoxton services with reasonable care and skill. If we cause direct damage through negligence, we will assess the issue and, where appropriate, repair the damage, arrange a reasonable remedy, or provide compensation up to the extent required by law. We will not be liable for pre-existing defects, hidden weaknesses, poor ground conditions, subsidence, unstable structures, or damage caused by circumstances outside our control.

Our liability does not extend to indirect or consequential losses such as loss of profit, loss of business, missed opportunity, or emotional distress, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under UK law.

We are not responsible for damage caused by third parties, including utility providers, contractors, neighbours, weather events, vandalism, or trespassers. Where the customer asks us to work near delicate plants, underground services, retaining walls, boundary features, irrigation systems, or older structures, the customer accepts that additional risk may arise and that we are entitled to take reasonable precautions or decline particular methods if necessary.

8. Materials, Planting, and Natural Variation

If the service includes the supply of plants, turf, soil, mulch, gravel, timber, paving, or other materials, we may source these from reputable suppliers but cannot guarantee exact colour, texture, growth pattern, or long-term performance beyond what is reasonably expected. Living materials are naturally variable, and outcomes depend on weather, aftercare, soil quality, and maintenance. Any description of a plant or product should be interpreted in that context.

The customer should understand that gardening and landscaping work often involves natural change. Growth, seasonal variation, and environmental factors can affect the appearance of a finished project. If a specific finish, size, or variety is essential, it should be agreed before the order is placed. We are not responsible for deterioration caused by drought, frost, disease, pests, neglect, or other external factors after completion, unless otherwise required by law.

Where we install materials that require future maintenance, the customer is responsible for following suitable aftercare. This may include watering, feeding, trimming, protection from weather, and avoiding misuse. Any warranty or guarantee we provide will be set out in writing and may be limited to the specific materials or workmanship covered. No general guarantee is implied unless clearly stated.

9. Complaints and Disputes

If the customer believes there is a problem with the service, they should notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide enough detail for the issue to be assessed. We may ask for photographs, descriptions, or an opportunity to inspect the work before taking any action. Prompt notification helps us address concerns efficiently and may prevent further loss or damage.

Where a valid complaint is made, we may offer to return and correct the issue, reduce the invoice, replace damaged materials, or propose another fair remedy depending on the circumstances. Any remedy will be assessed in line with the contract, the nature of the problem, and the rights available under law. Nothing in this section reduces your statutory rights if you are a consumer.

If the matter cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree to act reasonably and attempt to resolve the dispute without unnecessary delay or cost. This may include negotiation, written representations, or another suitable form of alternative dispute resolution. We encourage constructive communication before legal action is taken.

10. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the law of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. This applies to all services supplied under the name Landscaping Hoxton, including quotes, bookings, completed works, and any related aftercare arrangements.

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any right shall operate as a waiver of that right. The latest version of these terms will apply unless a different written agreement has been expressly accepted by both parties.

By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. These conditions are intended to provide a fair and transparent framework for all Hoxton landscaping service work, helping both sides understand their rights and responsibilities before, during, and after the job.
