Please read this disclaimer carefully before purchasing or using our custom garden planning service or any educational content on this website.

Educational and Conceptual Nature of Our Service

The custom garden planning service provided by Suburban Garden Mastery is educational and conceptual in nature. Garden plans, visualizations, and recommendations are created to inspire and guide your gardening journey — they are not formal landscape architecture, structural engineering, surveying, or professional design services.

Our plans are based on the information you provide (photos, approximate dimensions, location, growing zone, budget, and goals). We rely on the accuracy of the information you submit. We are not able to verify site conditions, measurements, or other details remotely.

Your Responsibilities

Before implementing any garden plan or recommendation, you are solely responsible for:

• Local bylaws and regulations: Checking municipal, provincial/state, and HOA rules regarding fences, structures, water features, and other garden elements
• Permits: Obtaining any required building or landscaping permits
• Underground utilities: Locating and avoiding underground utilities, pipes, cables, and other services before any digging (contact your local utility locate service)
• Structural considerations: Assessing load-bearing capacity for balconies, rooftops, or elevated spaces before adding planters, soil, or structures
• Drainage and grading: Evaluating drainage patterns and ensuring any changes do not negatively affect your property or neighbouring properties
• Setbacks and property lines: Confirming accurate property boundaries and required setbacks
• Plant safety: Verifying that recommended plants are safe for children, pets, and any household members with allergies or sensitivities
• Soil and environmental testing: Testing soil for contaminants if growing food, particularly in urban areas or on previously developed land

No Guarantee of Results

Gardening outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including but not limited to: weather, soil conditions, pests, disease, local microclimates, and the effort and care applied. We do not guarantee specific plant growth, yields, or aesthetic outcomes from following our plans or recommendations.

Professional Advice

For projects involving significant structural work, drainage changes, large-scale earthmoving, or any situation where safety is a concern, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified landscape architect, structural engineer, or other relevant professional licensed in your jurisdiction.

Limitation of Liability

Suburban Garden Mastery shall not be liable for any loss, damage, injury, or expense arising from the implementation of any garden plan, recommendation, or educational content provided through our website or services. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept these limitations.
