4.2 Variations
If, during the course of a project, unforeseen circumstances require additional work or materials (for example, discovering unsuitable ground conditions or drainage issues), we will notify you immediately and provide a written variation quote before proceeding. No additional charges will be applied without your written approval.

5. Payment Terms
5.1 Deposit
A deposit is required to secure your project start date and to cover the cost of materials ordered on your behalf. The deposit amount will be stated in your written quote. The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel less than 14 days before the agreed start date, except where we are at fault or the project is cancelled by us (see Section 6).
5.2 Stage Payments
For larger projects, stage payments may be agreed in writing prior to commencement. All stage payment milestones will be clearly defined in the project agreement.
5.3 Final Payment
The outstanding balance is due upon completion of the project, following the final walkthrough. Payment is due within 7 days of completion unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5.4 Accepted Payment Methods
We accept bank transfer (BACS), cash, and any other payment methods stated on your invoice. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue payments at the rate set out in the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (8% above the Bank of England base rate) for any invoices unpaid beyond the due date.
5.5 Disputes
If you dispute any element of an invoice, please raise it with us in writing within 7 days of receipt. Undisputed portions of the invoice remain payable on the original due date.
6. Cancellation & Rescheduling
6.1 Your Right to Cancel
If you are a consumer (individual, not acting in a business capacity), you have a statutory right to cancel a service contract within 14 days of entering into it under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
To exercise this right, contact us in writing (email is acceptable) within 14 days. If work has already commenced at your request within the cancellation period, you may be charged for the proportion of services completed.
6.2 Cancellation After 14 Days
If you cancel a confirmed booking more than 14 days after contract formation but less than 14 days before the start date, we reserve the right to retain the deposit to cover costs already incurred (materials ordered, time allocated, etc.).
6.3 Rescheduling
We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate rescheduling requests. Please give us as much notice as possible. Rescheduling with less than 7 days' notice may result in a rescheduling fee to cover labour allocation costs.
6.4 Cancellation by Us
In the rare event that we need to cancel or significantly reschedule a project, we will give you as much notice as possible and offer either a full refund of any deposit paid or an alternative start date at your choice.
6.5 Weather & Force Majeure
Landscaping work is subject to weather conditions. If severe weather makes it unsafe or impractical to continue work, we will reschedule at no additional charge. We are not liable for delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control (force majeure), including extreme weather, material shortages, or utility strikes.
