Legal
Terms of Service
How estimates, scheduling, payment, scope changes and workmanship are handled. Items that the business still needs to confirm or have reviewed are marked clearly rather than buried.
Last updated October 2026
Agreement to these terms
These terms cover your use of the Jaramillo Landscape website and the general basis on which enquiries, estimates and work are handled. By using this website or requesting an estimate, you accept these terms.
Individual projects are also governed by the specific written estimate and any agreed scope of work for that project. Where the two differ, the written estimate for your project takes precedence.
Needs confirming: This page is a practical starting point, not a substitute for legal review. Have it checked by a qualified professional and adapted to the business's actual contracting practices before relying on it.
Estimates and quotes
Estimates are free and carry no obligation. They are prepared after an on-site assessment, not from photographs alone.
An estimate describes the scope, materials and labour we expect the work to require. Unless a scope is stated as fixed, an estimate is based on conditions visible at the time of assessment and on the information available to us.
Conditions found after work begins — such as concealed pipework, unsuitable subsoil, undocumented utilities or structural concerns — may change what is required. If that happens, we will stop, explain what we have found, and give you a revised scope and price before continuing.
Scheduling, access and weather
Work is scheduled once you approve the estimate. Dates given are our best estimate at the time and depend on weather, material availability and the progress of work already underway.
Landscaping and hardscape work is weather-dependent. Ground conditions after heavy rain or during frost can delay site work, and we would rather pause and return than damage a prepared base.
- You agree to provide reasonable access to the work area, including for machinery and material delivery where required
- You agree to remove or secure vehicles, pets and valuables from the work area
- You agree to tell us about irrigation lines, septic systems, buried utilities, cables or anything else you know to be underground
We will make reasonable effort to protect existing surfaces, plants and structures, and we will tell you in advance if access is likely to cause unavoidable disruption.
Payment
Payment terms — including any deposit, stage payments and final payment on completion — are stated in the written estimate for your project and are agreed before work starts.
We do not take payment through this website. Nothing on this site constitutes a payment page or a checkout, and we will never ask you to send payment card details by email or through the contact form.
Needs confirming: Set out the business's actual payment terms here — for example deposit percentage, milestone payments, accepted payment methods and when the final balance is due.
Changes to scope
Changes requested during a project are welcome where they're practical. We will confirm in writing what the change involves, what it costs and how it affects timing before doing the work.
Changes requested after materials have been ordered, or after a stage has been completed, may involve additional cost that we will explain before proceeding.
Workmanship and materials
We carry out work with reasonable skill and care, use materials suited to the purpose, and prepare bases appropriately for the surfaces installed.
Concrete, paving, retaining structures and living materials all respond to ground conditions, water and weather over time. We build to minimise movement and settlement; we do not warrant that a surface will never move, or that a slab will never crack.
Plants are living material. Their establishment depends on species suitability, site conditions and, critically, watering during the first season. We will give you clear guidance on watering — following it is what makes the difference.
Needs confirming: State any workmanship or plant guarantee the business actually offers, including its duration and what it excludes. We have deliberately not invented one here.
Your responsibilities
- Provide accurate information about the property and anything buried on it
- Obtain any consent or permit the property requires, unless we have agreed in writing to arrange it
- Keep the work area accessible on agreed dates
- Water new plantings and turf in line with the guidance we provide
- Tell us promptly if you are concerned about any aspect of the work, so it can be addressed while our crew is still on site
Requirements for permits vary between Treasure Valley cities. Where a permit or approval is needed for a permanent fire feature, structure or other regulated work, it is your responsibility to confirm and obtain it unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
Cancellation and postponement
You may cancel or postpone work before it starts. Where materials have already been ordered or delivered specifically for your project, we may need to recover those costs — we will tell you before that becomes an issue, not afterwards.
We may need to postpone scheduled work for weather, safety or material reasons, and will give you as much notice as we can and a new date as soon as we have one.
Needs confirming: Confirm the notice period the business expects for cancellations, and how special-order materials are handled.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, our liability in relation to a project is limited to the cost of rectifying the work in question.
We are not responsible for pre-existing conditions on the property that we could not reasonably have known about, for damage caused by work the client or another contractor carries out afterwards, or for failures that result from not following the maintenance and watering guidance provided.
Nothing in these terms excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Needs confirming: Confirm the business's insurance position and have this clause reviewed, since limitation-of-liability wording is jurisdiction-specific.
Website content and intellectual property
The text, layout, photography and design of this website belong to the business or are used with permission. Project photographs are of our own work and may not be reproduced without permission.
Information on this site is provided to describe our services. It is general in nature and is not a specification for work on your property — the written estimate for your project is what governs the work.
Prices are not published on this site because they depend on site conditions, scope and materials. Any figure discussed in person or in writing reflects your specific project.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, United States.
Needs confirming: Confirm the correct governing jurisdiction and venue with the business's legal advisor.
