Dispatch times may vary to those stated according to availability, and any representations made to delivery times are limited to mainland UK and may be subject to any delays. We will not be held accountable for any delays in delivery as a result of postal delays or force majeure.

We offer customers the opportunity to make additional delivery requests/arrangements, however these requests fall to the driver to decide whether it is safe to do so at the time. Some items, particularly those of a higher value must be signed for, as such, it is not always possible to accommodate these requests.

It is important that all orders are checked on delivery and that any damages or shortages are reported as soon as possible, within 7 working days of receipt of delivery, It is best to contact us by telephone.

If for any reason you are unable to check the contents of your order on delivery please sign for the goods stating that they have not been checked. Unfortunately, once 7 days have elapsed claims cannot be made. Therefore if we are notified of damaged goods outside of the period we may not be in a position to offer a replacement item or credit.

Where goods have been damaged in transit we will arrange for an exchange at our own cost. Where applicable, we may ask for photographic evidence of the goods and packaging to verify the damage. We always require for the return of the damage before the despatch of the replacement goods. We will not refund any postage costs for any items returned via your own methods.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GOODS / CONTENT OF SITE

In some instances the product may vary slightly from the image shown on the website. Reasons include but are not limited to the manufacturer updating or improving the appearance of the packaging or product without informing us, possible natural variations in colour, and the conditions at the time of photography and the setup and model of your monitor.

All sizes are overall and measurements are approximate although we do try to ensure they are as accurate as possible.

Some of the products we sell such as fencing and screening are natural products made using traditional techniques. Please do not assume that they will have the precision or consistency of machine-made products.

PLANTS TERMS & CONDITIONS

We make every effort to ensure that all our plants are of the highest quality and are fully inspected and properly plant passported and registered and regularly inspected by DEFRA prior to dispatch. If however you feel that the plant received is not in reasonable condition then please contact us IMMEDIATELY. Please bear in mind the following:

Is it in season? Plants will look different depending on the time of year. Out of season plants may be very bare in winter periods

The images on the site are generally of a mature plant; what you ordered is a bare root or young potted plant which by their very nature are immature.

Please download and read our free guide to hedges and planting before buying your plants so that you have all the information and instructions on how to plant and care for your order.

It is essential that bare root plants are not left out in the open before planting as the roots will be damaged so ensure only one plant at a time is removed from the bags they are sent in and planted right away. Similarly, if there is hot dry weather then the plants must be watered regularly.

DO NOT open up the plastic bags your bare root plants are kept in to keep them moist until you are ready to plant.

We will refund or replace any plants that die once planted within 30 days unless it is clear that the cause is from lack of watering.

It's important that you take an image of plant as soon as possible so there is no doubt as to its condition when it was received. We may request the plant is returned to us for further investigation so we can establish the cause of the problem.
