Terms of Service

The terms we work under

Effective August 3, 2026 Blue Springs, Missouri

The short version

Estimates are free and non-binding. A written, accepted quote is what governs the job. Weather moves schedules. Mark your private underground lines before we dig. Call us first if anything goes sideways.

This summary is here for convenience. The sections below are the actual terms.

Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Knight's Lawn & Landscape website at knightslandscapingkc.com and any services you hire us to perform. By using this site or accepting an estimate from us, you agree to these terms.

If we've given you a separate written proposal, work order or service agreement, that document controls where it conflicts with anything here.

About Knight's Lawn & Landscape

Knight's Lawn & Landscape is owned and operated by Jeremy and Amanda Knight from 4901 S Valley View Rd, Blue Springs, MO 64015. We provide lawn care and maintenance, tree and shrub care, landscape and hardscape design and installation, xeriscaping, fence and deck work, snow and ice management, and drainage and water management.

We generally serve properties within roughly 30 miles of Blue Springs. Work outside that range is possible but depends on the project.

Estimates, quotes and pricing

  • Estimates are free and carry no obligation.
  • A quote becomes binding when it's in writing and you accept it. Verbal ballparks, phone conversations and pricing shown on this website are general guidance, not offers.
  • Quotes are based on what we can see. If we uncover conditions that weren't visible at the walkthrough — buried debris, rock, failed drainage, rotted framing, unmarked utilities — we'll stop, tell you what we found, and give you revised pricing before continuing.
  • Quotes have a shelf life. Material costs move. Unless the quote says otherwise, treat it as valid for 30 days.
  • Additional work requested after a quote is accepted is priced separately and confirmed before we do it.

Scheduling, weather and delays

Landscaping runs on the weather, and Missouri weather doesn't take direction.

  • Scheduled dates are our best estimate, not a guarantee. Rain, frozen ground, heat, drought restrictions, supplier delays and jobs that run long can all move a date.
  • We'll let you know as early as we reasonably can when a schedule changes, and we'll get you back on the calendar promptly.
  • Recurring maintenance visits may shift by a day or more during heavy rain weeks. Skipped visits are handled as described in your service arrangement.
  • We are not liable for losses caused by weather-related delays.

Your responsibilities as a property owner

Some things only you can tell us, and getting them wrong is expensive. Before we start, please:

  • Mark private lines. Irrigation lines and heads, invisible pet fencing, low-voltage lighting, septic components, private water or gas lines, and anything else buried that a public utility locate won't find. We arrange public utility locates through Missouri One Call (dial 811) where required, but 811 does not mark privately installed lines.
  • Secure pets and clear the work area of toys, furniture, vehicles and anything else you don't want moved or damaged.
  • Provide access — unlocked gates, gate codes, parking for trucks and trailers. If we can't get in on a scheduled visit, the visit may be billed.
  • Confirm property lines and, where applicable, get HOA or municipal approval for the work. That approval is your responsibility unless we agree in writing to handle it.
  • Tell us about known conditions — drainage problems, easements, prior repairs, structural issues.
Unmarked private lines. We take real care, but if a private line isn't marked and we can't reasonably see it, we aren't responsible for damage to it. We'll always tell you immediately if something gets hit.

Payment

  • Recurring maintenance is invoiced on the schedule stated in your service arrangement.
  • Installation and construction projects may require a deposit before materials are ordered, with the balance due on completion.
  • Invoices are due on receipt unless the invoice states otherwise.
  • Accepted methods are listed on your invoice. Returned payments may incur a fee.
  • Unpaid balances. We may pause scheduled service on accounts that are past due, and you're responsible for reasonable collection costs on amounts that go unpaid.

Cancellations and rescheduling

  • Give us as much notice as you can. For a scheduled visit or project start, please cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours ahead.
  • Same-day cancellations and lockouts may be billed, since the crew and the day are already committed.
  • Deposits on installation work cover materials and scheduling. Once materials are ordered or custom-cut, deposits may be non-refundable.
  • Recurring service can be paused or ended with reasonable notice. Any completed visits are still billable.
  • We may decline or end service for unsafe conditions, abusive behavior toward our crew, or non-payment.

Plants, materials and workmanship

  • Our labor. We stand behind our installation work and will come back and correct defects in workmanship that show up within the period stated on your proposal.
  • Manufactured materials — pavers, blocks, lumber, fencing, drainage components — carry whatever warranty the manufacturer provides. We'll pass those through to you and help you use them.
  • Living plant material depends heavily on watering and care after we leave. Unless your proposal specifically includes a plant warranty, plants are not warrantied. Where a warranty is offered, it requires that you follow the watering instructions we give you.
  • Not covered: damage from drought, flood, freeze, storms, pets, insects, disease, vandalism, work performed by others, neglect, or changes made to the site after we finish.
  • Natural variation. Stone, wood, sod and plants vary in color, texture and size. Photos on this website show past work and are not a guarantee of identical results.
  • Settling. Soil, mulch and new hardscape settle. Minor settling is normal and expected.

Snow and ice services

Winter work has its own realities, and we'd rather be direct about them.

  • Seasonal snow spots are limited and are confirmed in writing before the season.
  • During a significant event, service happens in route order. We can't promise a specific clearing time.
  • Clearing and de-icing reduce hazards; they do not eliminate them. Surfaces may remain slippery after service. Ice can re-form, and refreeze after a thaw is common.
  • De-icing materials can affect concrete, plantings and pets. Tell us in advance if you have concerns or want a specific product used.
  • Plows and shovels can catch objects hidden under snow. Please stake or remove anything at the edges of drives and walks before the season.
  • You remain responsible for monitoring your own property and for anyone who uses it.

Photos of completed work

We photograph our work for our website, our Facebook page and future estimates. These photos show landscapes and structures — not people, house numbers or full street addresses.

If you'd rather we didn't photograph your property, just tell us. There's no form to fill out and no downside; we'll note it on your account.

Website content and intellectual property

The design, text, photographs, logo and graphics on this website belong to Knight's Lawn & Landscape or are used with permission. You're welcome to view, print and share pages for your own use in evaluating or hiring us.

You may not copy the site's content or design for a competing business, republish it commercially, or use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse something we don't.

Third-party links and services

This site links to third-party platforms such as Facebook, and our booking and payment tools are operated by third-party vendors. We don't control those services and aren't responsible for their content, availability or terms. Your use of them is governed by their own agreements.

Disclaimer of warranties

This website is provided “as is.” We work to keep it accurate and available, but we don't warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, and we don't warrant that descriptions, pricing guidance or other content are complete or current.

Except for the specific warranties described in Plants, materials and workmanship and in your written proposal, and to the fullest extent permitted by Missouri law, we disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Knight's Lawn & Landscape and its owners and employees are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising out of your use of this website or our services — including lost profits, loss of use, or damage to property that was not caused by our own negligence.

Our total liability for any claim relating to a particular job will not exceed the amount you paid us for that job. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited, including liability for personal injury caused by our negligence.

We carry liability insurance. A certificate of insurance is available on request.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Knight's Lawn & Landscape, its owners and employees from claims, damages and reasonable costs arising out of your breach of these terms, your failure to identify private underground lines or known site hazards, your failure to obtain required HOA or municipal approvals, or your misuse of this website.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that can't be worked out directly will be brought in the state or federal courts serving Jackson County, Missouri, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction.

Before filing anything, please call us. Most problems get solved in one conversation with an owner.

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a provision on one occasion doesn't waive it.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page tells you when the current version took effect. Changes apply going forward; work already quoted and accepted stays under the terms in place when you accepted it.
