Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of ideascapesllc.com and your interactions with Idea Scapes, LLC (“Idea Scapes,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) through the website.

By accessing or using this website, submitting an inquiry, or otherwise interacting with the website, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website.

01About Idea Scapes

Idea Scapes, LLC provides landscape design, landscape construction, hardscaping, drainage, irrigation, outdoor living, consultation, planning, and related services in South Carolina.

Information presented on this website is intended to help prospective and existing clients understand our services, process, and general areas of expertise.

Availability of any particular service may depend on project location, scope, site conditions, scheduling, permitting requirements, project minimums, and other factors.

02Website Use

You may use this website for lawful personal or business purposes related to learning about Idea Scapes and our services.

You agree not to:

• Use the website for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes
• Attempt to interfere with the operation or security of the website
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or information
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
• Use automated systems to scrape, copy, overload, or interfere with the website
• Upload malicious code, harmful files, or content that violates the rights of others
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your authority to act on behalf of a property owner, business, or other party

We may restrict or terminate access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect our systems, business, customers, or legal rights.

03Website Information Is General Information

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information on this website. However, website content is provided for general informational purposes and may not reflect every condition, requirement, limitation, or consideration applicable to a specific property or project.

Information on the website should not be treated as a substitute for an on-site evaluation, professional design, engineering, surveying, permitting review, legal advice, or other specialized professional services when those services are appropriate.

Conditions affecting landscape and construction projects may include, among other things:

• Existing grades and drainage patterns
• Soil and groundwater conditions
• Utilities
• Easements and rights-of-way
• Property boundaries
• Municipal requirements
• Permitting
• HOA requirements
• Existing structures
• Hidden or concealed conditions

Project-specific recommendations will be based on the information reasonably available during the applicable consultation, planning, design, estimating, or construction process.

04Submitting an Inquiry Does Not Create a Contract

Submitting a website form, calling us, emailing us, texting us, scheduling a Discovery Call, or otherwise contacting Idea Scapes does not by itself create a contractor-client relationship or obligate Idea Scapes to perform services.

A website inquiry is a request for us to review your information and determine an appropriate next step.

We may decline an inquiry or determine that a project is not a fit based on factors such as:

• Service area
• Project scope
• Project size
• Budget or anticipated investment
• Scheduling
• Site conditions
• Required expertise
• Project readiness
• Availability
• Other business or project considerations

No construction, design, planning, consultation, or other professional services are authorized unless and until the applicable service has been accepted or agreed to through the appropriate written or electronic process.

05Discovery Calls, Consultations, Design, and Planning Services

Idea Scapes may use different levels of evaluation and planning depending on the nature of a project.

These may include:

• Discovery Calls
• On-site consultations
• Drainage Strategy Sessions
• Irrigation Planning Sessions
• Landscape Project Consultations
• Landscape design
• Site measurements
• Elevation or grading analysis
• Product or material selections
• Project planning
• Takeoffs
• Permit or ordinance research
• Coordination with outside professionals

A Discovery Call does not guarantee that Idea Scapes will provide a proposal, consultation, design, or construction service.

Some services may require a separate fee.

Where a consultation, design, planning service, or other paid service is offered, the applicable fee, scope, scheduling requirements, cancellation terms, refund terms, or other conditions provided at the time of booking or purchase will apply.

06Pricing, Project Minimums, and Estimates

Prices, project minimums, example project values, consultation fees, and other pricing information shown on the website are provided for general informational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

They do not constitute a binding estimate or guaranteed project price.

Actual pricing may vary based on factors including:

• Project size
• Materials
• Labor
• Site access
• Existing conditions
• Demolition
• Grading
• Drainage
• Utility conflicts
• Permit requirements
• Design complexity
• Equipment access
• Engineering or professional services
• Market conditions
• Changes in scope

A binding project price will only arise through an accepted written proposal, agreement, contract, or other documentation expressly issued by Idea Scapes for that project.

07Proposals and Project Agreements Control

Any landscape design, consultation, planning, construction, installation, or other project performed by Idea Scapes may be governed by a separate proposal, service agreement, design agreement, construction contract, invoice, scope of work, warranty, or similar document.

Those project-specific documents control the applicable work.

If there is a conflict between these website Terms and a separately executed project agreement, the terms of the project-specific agreement will control with respect to that project.

Nothing on this website expands or modifies a project warranty, scope of work, price, payment schedule, or other contractual obligation contained in a separate agreement.

08Changes to Project Scope

Ideas, concepts, photos, inspiration images, preliminary discussions, website descriptions, and early project conversations do not necessarily establish the final project scope.

Project scope may change during consultation, investigation, design, estimating, permitting, or construction.

Any material change to an approved project will be handled in accordance with the applicable project agreement, proposal, change order process, or other written documentation.
