Additional T&C's

  1. Damage to any underground services such as pipes or cables (water, power, telecom etc) shall be the responsibility of the property owner unless the exact location of such services is supplied to Oderings Landscaping. A cable location service can be provided if required, at an additional cost.
  2. Oderings Landscaping will carry out our best practices when planting new plants. Once plants are in the ground it is the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure these plants are maintained for healthy growth.
  3. Whilst all care will be taken, where cutting saw and grinding blades are used, damage to property i.e. fences, windows, buildings are the owners responsibility.
  4. Fence, gate and/or post installations are based on unobstructed ground. Unforeseen obstructions may incur extra charges.
  5. Fence timber whether wet or dry has a shrinkage factor, this shrinkage is out of Oderings Landscaping's control and therefore Oderings Landscaping cannot be held accountable for shrinkage of timber and in turn does not accept this as a reason not to complete payment.
  6. On any timber work constructed by Oderings Landscaping, it is not Oderings Landscaping's responsibility if it warps or bows due to any outside matters. Oderings Landscaping will not be held responsible for replacing these materials, unless agreed upon by Oderings Landscaping.
  7. The owner accepts full responsibility for their driveways and paths and understands that to carry out work specified in the contract, it may be necessary to use heavy machinery that could cause damage to driveways or pathways. The contractor will not be liable to you or any third party for any damages caused to driveways, pathways or other property.
  8. The owner accepts full responsibility for identifying and warrening their services (water, sewage, gas, power and phone lines) and understands that to carry out work specified in the contract, it may be necessary to use digging machinery (e.g. post hole borer) that could cause damage to their services. The contractor will not be held liable to you or any third party for any damages caused to the services if these services are not clearly warrened.
  9. While the contractor will carry out best practice methods in placing concrete, Oderings Landscaping cannot guarantee that the concrete will not be disturbed due to factors out of their control, once the concrete has been placed it is the owners responsibility to ensure that the concrete is not disturbed for the time period stated by the contractor. Concrete can move which may cause cracking regardless of expansion cuts or mesh in the slab, this is out of our control, and Oderings Landscaping are not responsible for replacing any concrete due to this factor. 
  10. While the contractor will carry out best practice methods in ground preparation, levelling of topsoil and seeding grass. Oderings Landscaping cannot guarantee the survival of the grass seed and will not be liable for any financial reimbursement for the cost of the ground preparation, levelling of topsoil and seeding grass. Oderings Landscaping cannot guarantee that the levelling of topsoil will remain level in the advent of any acts of nature (i.e. heavy rain), if this does occur there may be an additional charge to rectify. Seed that is washed away by rain or over watering is not the responsibility of Oderings Landscaping, reseeding will incur additional charges.
  11. Despite best practice and good quality soil weeds will often emerge. Eradication of weeds is not the responsibility of Oderings landscaping – additional charges will apply.
  12. When laying pavers, colour variances are beyond our control. Pavers can change in colour due to weathering and outdoor environments. Oderings Landscaping will not be responsible for any discolouration or mottling due to this factor.
  13. It is the responsibility of the property owner to define all boundaries.
  14. Investigation of Private Covenants and Boundaries shall be the responsibility of the Client and Oderings Landscaping shall not be liable to you or to any third party for a breach of any such Covenant or Boundary.
