Estimates, Proposals & Contracts
Estimates are not binding contracts. Any estimates, quotes, or proposals provided through our website, email, or in person are for informational purposes only and are subject to change based on site conditions, material availability, and project scope.
A binding agreement is created only when both parties sign a written contract or proposal that specifies the scope of work, pricing, timeline, and payment terms.
Project changes: Changes to the agreed scope of work (“change orders”) may affect the project timeline and cost. All change orders require written agreement from both parties before work proceeds.
Pricing: Prices quoted are valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated. Material prices are subject to market fluctuations and may be adjusted prior to contract signing.
Payment Terms
Payment terms are specified in each individual project contract. General payment guidelines include:
- A deposit is typically required before work begins, as specified in the project contract
- Progress payments may be required at agreed milestones during the project
- Final payment is due upon project completion and your acceptance of the work
- Late payments may be subject to interest charges as specified in the contract
- We accept payment by check, bank transfer, and major credit cards
Any disputes regarding payment must be raised in writing within 10 business days of the invoice date.

Bee Green Outdoor Living stands behind the quality of our work. Specific warranty terms are detailed in each project contract and may include:
- Workmanship warranty — covers defects in installation and craftsmanship for the period specified in your contract
- Material warranties — manufacturer warranties on products and materials are passed through to the client where applicable
Warranty exclusions: Warranties do not cover damage resulting from:
- Natural wear and tear, weathering, or acts of nature (floods, earthquakes, extreme weather)
- Improper maintenance or failure to follow care instructions provided
- Modifications or repairs made by others without our written approval
- Settling, shifting, or movement of soil conditions beyond our control
- Damage caused by third parties, vehicles, or heavy equipment
To make a warranty claim, contact us in writing with a description and photos of the issue. We will inspect the work and, if covered under warranty, repair or correct the issue at no additional charge.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
- Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim
- We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of profits, or damage to property not directly related to our work
