Services Description

HM Landscaping provides landscaping and gardening services, including but not limited to lawn mowing, softscape installation, sprinkler system installation and maintenance, and snow removal. The specific services to be provided will be detailed in a written estimate or contract between HM Landscaping and the client.

Estimates and Pricing

All estimates provided by HM Landscaping are valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. Prices are subject to change without notice after this period. Estimates are based on the information provided by the client and visual inspection of the property. If additional work is required due to unforeseen circumstances or conditions, additional charges may apply.

Payment terms will be specified in the estimate or contract. Unless otherwise stated, payment is due upon completion of services for one-time services, or according to the agreed-upon schedule for ongoing services.

Service Scheduling and Cancellations

HM Landscaping will make every effort to provide services at the scheduled time. However, we reserve the right to reschedule services due to inclement weather, equipment failure, or other unforeseen circumstances.

Clients must provide at least 48 hours' notice for cancellation or rescheduling of services. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in a cancellation fee of up to 50% of the scheduled service cost.

For ongoing service contracts, clients must provide at least 14 days' written notice to cancel services. Any prepaid amounts for services not yet rendered will be refunded, less any applicable cancellation fees.

Client Responsibilities

Clients are responsible for:

• Providing accurate information about the property and desired services
• Ensuring that the property is accessible to HM Landscaping personnel and equipment
• Marking or identifying any underground utilities, irrigation systems, or other features that could be damaged during service
• Securing pets and removing any obstacles that could interfere with service provision
• Promptly communicating any concerns or issues regarding the services provided

Warranties and Guarantees

HM Landscaping guarantees all workmanship for a period of 30 days from the date of service completion. This guarantee does not cover damage due to acts of nature, improper maintenance by the client, or normal wear and tear.

For plant materials, warranties may vary depending on the type of plant and will be specified in the contract. Generally, trees and shrubs are warranted for one growing season, provided they are properly maintained by the client according to our care instructions.

Irrigation systems are warranted for one year from the date of installation against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty does not cover damage due to freezing, improper winterization, or physical damage.

Limitation of Liability

HM Landscaping's liability is limited to the cost of the services provided. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, arising out of or in connection with the use of our services.

HM Landscaping is not responsible for damage to unmarked irrigation systems, utilities, or other underground features. It is the client's responsibility to mark or identify these features prior to service.

All necessary licenses and permits required for the provision of our services are maintained in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
