Warranty

14. Warranty

To obtain performance of any warranty obligation, the Customer must send an email to the

Company with a detailed description of the issue within a reasonable time after discovery and must

allow the Company reasonable access to the Property to inspect and remedy any covered issues.

All warranties are contingent upon full receipt of payment.

12a. Construction Workmanship Warranty (Five Years).

Keathley Landscaping LLC provides a five (5) year workmanship warranty on all construction work it

performs, including but not limited to stonework, retaining walls, patio covers, outdoor kitchens,

firepits, fencing, hardscapes, drainage installations, and similar improvements. This warranty covers

defects in labor and workmanship. It does not cover damage resulting from the Customer’s misuse,

neglect, or modification of completed work, acts of nature, or extreme weather events.

12b. Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Warranty (Five Years).

The Company provides a five (5) year labor and fixture replacement warranty on all low voltage

outdoor lighting installations. During this five-year period, if a fixture fails due to a defect or

malfunction that is not the result of physical damage or customer misuse, the Company will supply

and install a replacement fixture at no charge to the Customer. The Customer may contact the

Company directly to schedule fixture replacement under this warranty.

Fixtures installed by the Company are FX Luminaire products, which also carry a separate ten (10)

year manufacturer’s warranty on the fixtures themselves. After the Company’s five-year warranty

period expires, the Customer may: (a) contact a licensed FX Luminaire dealer directly to obtain

warranty service or replacement fixtures; or (b) contact the Company to have replacement fixtures

installed at the Company’s standard service call rate.

This warranty does not cover: (a) bulb replacement; (b) wire or fixture damage caused by cuts,

breaks, tears, chewing by animals or pests, lawn equipment, digging, or any other physical damage

regardless of cause; or (c) damage caused by the Customer, third parties, contractors, or acts of

nature. Repairs required due to physical damage to wiring or fixtures will be performed at the

Company’s standard service rates. This warranty is immediately voided on any fixture that becomes

buried, covered, or obstructed by soil, mulch, sod, plant material, hardscape, or any other material

added after installation. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure all fixtures remain unobstructed

and properly exposed at all times. The Company is not responsible for damage, malfunction, or

deterioration caused by fixtures being buried or covered, regardless of whether such covering was

done by the Customer, a third party, or natural accumulation.

12c. Sod Installation.The Company does not provide a general warranty on sod installation, as the survival of sod is

dependent on soil conditions, weather, watering practices, and other factors outside the Company’s

control after installation. However, as a courtesy, if individual sod squares fail to establish while the

surrounding lawn is otherwise healthy and thriving, the Company will return to replace those specific

failed squares at no charge to the Customer, provided the Customer notifies the Company within

sixty (60) days of installation and the failure is not attributable to the Customer’s watering or

maintenance practices. This courtesy replacement is not a warranty and does not obligate the

Company to replace entire lawn areas or sod that has failed due to improper watering, drought,

disease, or neglect.

12d. Plant Material Warranty (Three Months – Labor Only).

The Company provides a three (3) month labor-only warranty on plant material installations. If a

plant fails within three (3) months of installation, the Company will install a replacement plant at no

charge for labor. However, the Customer is responsible for purchasing the replacement plant at

current retail cost. This warranty does not cover plant failure caused by the Customer’s watering

practices, pest or disease issues, drought, freeze events, or other conditions outside the Company’s

control. The Company is not responsible for the cost of the replacement plant under any

circumstances.

12e. General Warranty Exclusions.

No warranty provided herein covers: (a) work completed by other contractors before or after the

Company’s installation; (b) irrigation and drainage issues arising from work performed by other

contractors; (c) damage caused by the Customer’s misuse, neglect, or modification of completed

work; or (d) damage caused by acts of nature, extreme weather, flooding, or events beyond the

Company’s control.
