Celtic Turf
General Terms and Conditions of Sale and Supply
Extra work undertaken will incur
further costs.
By accepting the quotation, paying
the deposits required and the contract
starting the client is deemed to accept
all of the terms and conditions listed
below along with the scope of works
supplied. Unless otherwise specifi ed
all payment terms are cash on
collection/delivery.
Maintenance to the works has not
been allowed for unless specifi cally
included within the quotation.
Horticultural operations are very
dependent on the weather and
season. We aim to carry out the
works at the appropriate time.
Work undertaken out of the season or
in unsuitable weather conditions will
be on written instructions only, so that
suitable provision can be made, or it
will be at the clientʼs risk.
Nursery stock supplies are not
inexhaustible. Should any plant be
unavailable, we reserve the right to
negotiate substitutes with the client.
Watering has not been allowed for
within our quotation. All watering of
plants and turf become the
responsibility of the client once the
contract has been completed and
Celtic Turf cannot accept any
responsibility for the survival once the
contract has been completed.
We accept no responsibility for the
defects over and above failing to
break out into leaf unless a formal
maintenance contract is entered into.
It will be the responsibility of the client
to advise Celtic Turf of the positioning
of all mains services.
No responsibility will be accepted for
damage caused to mains services not
notified.
Once an estimate has been accepted,
any changes or additions will be
subject to a price review.
Each square metre of turf contains up
to 10,000 individual grass plants.
Just like us, the health and vigour of
plants depend on their genetic
makeup, their nutrition, their care and
their environment.
Our supplier selects varieties that are
known to be disease resistant (that is
disease resistant – not disease
proof); nevertheless to remain healthy
plants need sunlight for energy,
nitrogen to sustain growth and trace
elements to support cell functions.
They also need water.
A grass plant is 75-80% water. This
is continuously being lost to the
atmosphere during transpiration and
respiration and is used for
photosynthesis and growth of new
cells and so must be replenished.
Plants do this by drawing water from
the ground through their roots.
Your new lawn may show variations in
colour and texture. This is because
our suppliers turf is grown and
harvested on a huge scale in order to
meet demand for this popular
product. A lawn adapts to its
appearance to the soil
beneath it and soil conditions
are not 100% uniform across
a 20 acre field of turf, ,that is a
fact of nature. Rest assured
though, that once the grass
has fully established in your
garden and you have a
regular maintenance
programme in place, you will
have a lawn to be proud of.
Remember: turf is just the
start of a lawn. Without
proper care and attention
even the best quality turf can
look sad and neglected.
In extreme changes of
weather conditions, certain
plants can suffer damage if
not protected. The client
should take the necessary
precautions to prevent
damage as this is out of our
control.
Customers ordering vehicles
off the public highway do so at
their own responsibility.
Prices are open to
acceptance up to three
months from the date of the
quotation.
All contracts, in the end,
depend upon the willingness
of the buyer and the seller to
achieve mutual satisfaction.
Should any action arise from
conflicting conditions not
resolved amicably, then the
law of England shall be used
as the interpreting law.
Celtic Turf reserves the right
to withdraw from a site if the
contract payment schedule is
not adhered to. Any overdue
payment will be subject to a
monthly interest rate at bank
rate plus 2% per month or
part month overdue. Any
variation on this quotation
must be in writing and signed
by both parties, with payment
due in full at completion of
contract to which this variation
applies. Title and ownership of
the materials and equipment
will not pass until final
payment is made. Celtic Turf
can recover any materials in
the event of non-payment.
The customer agrees to allow
access to the site for this
purpose.
All materials and machinery
left on site during works
become the occupierʼs
responsibility once employees
have left the site.
Copyright laws cover all
designs. The design cannot
be reproduced without prior
written consent by Neil
McFadden. Once payment is
received from the client, the
client may then approach
other contractors to quote for
the project.

any future publications or
displays whilst ensuring the
anonymity of the respective
client.
