Nature of the Service

Garden Plan provides digital Garden Plans intended as concept design guidance for residential gardens. These documents outline layout ideas, planting palettes, material suggestions, and general installation notes.

Garden Plans are:

  • intended as a starting point for garden design and construction

They are not:

  • construction, engineering, or structural drawings

  • site surveys or inspections

  • planning or building permit documentation

  • a substitute for site-specific professional advice

Intellectual Property & Use of the Plans

All content, layouts, designs, text, images, drawings, and materials contained within a Garden Plan are the intellectual property of Garden Plan.

Purchase of a plan grants the buyer a limited, non-transferable licence for personal use only.

Permitted Use

  • The plan may be used solely for designing and constructing a garden on the buyer’s own property

  • The plan may be shared with a contractor or landscaper only for the purpose of building that garden

  • Any reproduction, in whole or in part, for resale, marketing, or other business activity is strictly prohibited

Contractors may reference the plan solely for the purpose of constructing the buyer’s garden and must not retain or reuse the plan for other projects.
