By requesting, booking, accepting, or using any of our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, together with any written quotation, proposal, invoice, work order, or service agreement we provide. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use our services.
These Terms are intended to be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with applicable laws in Canada and the Province of Ontario, including consumer protection, privacy, and employment-related laws, to the extent they apply.
2. Scope of Services
Maple Grove Garden Services Ltd. provides garden and landscape maintenance services, which may include, without limitation, the following:
- Garden design and planting;
- Lawn care and edging;
- Seasonal cleanups and leaf removal;
- Hedge trimming and pruning;
- Mulching and soil improvement;
- Weed control and bed maintenance; and
- Irrigation system checks and watering plans.
Any services not expressly included in a written quotation or service agreement are excluded unless agreed to in writing by both parties.
We may provide recommendations regarding plant selection, maintenance schedules, irrigation practices, and general garden care. Such recommendations are provided in good faith but are not guarantees of specific outcomes, as results may vary depending on soil conditions, weather, pests, plant health, site conditions, and customer maintenance practices.
We may refuse, suspend, or discontinue work where site conditions are unsafe, access is restricted, payment is overdue, or the requested work would violate applicable law, municipal rules, bylaws, or safety requirements.
3. User Obligations and Responsibilities
You agree to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and current information when requesting services;
- Ensure that we have safe, lawful, and timely access to the property and any necessary water, electricity, or other utilities reasonably required to perform the services;
- Disclose any known hazards, including underground utilities, irrigation lines, sprinkler heads, pets, aggressive animals, chemicals, allergens, unstable structures, slippery surfaces, or other site-specific risks;
- Obtain and maintain any required permissions, permits, approvals, or consents from landlords, condominium boards, property managers, neighbours, or municipal authorities where applicable;
- Remove or secure personal items, fragile objects, furniture, vehicles, toys, and other valuables from work areas before service begins;
- Notify us in advance of any special instructions, sensitive plantings, protected species, or areas not to be touched;
- Inspect completed work promptly and raise any concerns within a reasonable time after service completion;
- Use all services and deliverables in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
You are responsible for the health and condition of your plants, lawn, soil, and irrigation systems, except to the extent damage is directly caused by our proven negligence or wilful misconduct.
You agree not to request or require any work that would involve trespassing, unlawful interference with property, or unsafe handling of pesticides, fertilizers, or other regulated substances unless such work is expressly permitted and lawfully performed.
4. Payment Terms and Conditions
Fees, charges, and payment schedules will be set out in our quotation, invoice, or written service agreement. Unless otherwise stated in writing:
- All prices are stated in Canadian dollars (CAD);
- Applicable taxes, including HST/GST and other levies, will be added where required by law;
- Payment is due upon completion of service or within the timeframe stated on the invoice;
- We may require a deposit or prepayment for recurring, seasonal, or custom projects;
- Late payments may accrue interest at the rate stated on the invoice, or if not stated, at the maximum lawful rate permitted under applicable law;

If you dispute an invoice, you must notify us in writing promptly and provide reasonable detail regarding the basis for the dispute. You must pay all undisputed amounts on time.
We reserve the right to suspend services, pause scheduled visits, or withhold delivery of ongoing services if an account is overdue.
Estimates are based on the information available at the time and may be adjusted if the scope changes, site conditions differ materially, hidden conditions are encountered, or additional materials or labour are required.
5. Cancellation and Refund Policy
You may cancel or reschedule a booked service by providing notice within the timeframe stated in your booking confirmation or service agreement. If no timeframe is stated, we request at least 48 hours’ notice before the scheduled service date.
Late cancellations, missed appointments, or cancellations after work has begun may result in a cancellation fee, including charges for time reserved, labour already performed, materials purchased, and any non-refundable supplier costs.
Refunds, if any, will be determined in good faith based on the portion of services not yet performed, the value of work completed, and any costs already incurred by Maple Grove Garden Services Ltd.
We do not provide refunds for:
- Results affected by weather, drought, flood, pests, disease, animal activity, or other conditions outside our reasonable control;
- Plant material, soil amendments, mulch, or other consumables once installed or delivered, except where required by law or where the product is defective and a valid remedy exists;
- Customer-requested changes, delays, or failure to provide access, utilities, or necessary approvals;
- Services performed according to the customer’s instructions where those instructions caused the relevant outcome.
Where a refund is approved, it will be issued using the original payment method where reasonably possible, subject to applicable law and processing timelines.
