Terms of Service
This document is a working draft. A final, attorney-reviewed version will replace it before public launch.
Acceptance
Who we are
The service
We provide online garden design plans for residential customers. You submit photos, measurements, and intake information about your yard. We return a professional illustrated plan in PDF format with the deliverable set published on our site.
We are not landscape architects. We don’t hold professional architectural licenses. Our plans are designs and recommendations, not engineering documents. Any work that requires a licensed professional (structural, drainage engineering, permits) requires one — we can note where this applies, but we don’t stand in for it.
Pricing and payment
Prices are published on our pricing page and are paid in full at checkout. We do not invoice. We do not collect partial payments or deposits for matrix-priced plans. Full Garden engagements may have a separate billing structure documented in the written quote.
Your responsibilities
- Submit accurate, complete intake information, including photos that represent your yard reasonably.
- Comply with local laws, HOA rules, and deed restrictions.
- Be truthful about constraints (wildlife, pets, budget, timeline).
- Provide timely feedback during revisions.
If your intake materially misrepresents the site or the project, we reserve the right to cancel the project or adjust scope and price.
Intellectual property
You retain ownership of the photos, measurements, and intake information you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive, limited license to use that material to produce your plan, deliver it to you, and retain it internally for service-delivery purposes.
We retain ownership of our design methodology, templates, software, prompts, and internal reference materials.
Your plan: we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use the delivered plan for your personal residential use, including sharing it with contractors you hire to implement it. You may not resell the plan or use it for commercial purposes.
Revisions
Disclaimers
Gardening outcomes depend on many factors beyond the design — installation quality, weather, pest pressure, irrigation, maintenance, and luck. We recommend plants and layouts that should work based on what your intake tells us, but:
- We do not guarantee any plant will survive or perform as described.
- We do not guarantee specific aesthetic outcomes, growth rates, or yields.
- We do not guarantee that plants will be available at local nurseries at the time you shop.
- We do not verify HOA approval. If your HOA rejects your plan, we will revise within the included revision rounds; we do not refund for HOA disapproval.
The Service is provided “as is.” We disclaim all implied warranties to the extent permitted by law.
