Please note: Coachella Gardening provides garden planning only. We do not provide architectural, engineering or structural designs, or any work that requires a state design license, and garden layout designs are not construction drawings or permit documents. Hardscape, structures (such as walls, patios or pergolas), grading, drainage, irrigation system design and electrical work should be designed and installed by an appropriately licensed professional.

This plan is advice from Coachella Gardening LLC, an independent garden and landscape design consultancy, prepared by Karen A. Gilbert. It reflects professional judgment about your garden, your site and the season. It is not a construction drawing, a permit document or a stamped plan, and it was not prepared by an engineer, a licensed contractor, a certified arborist or a holder of a California landscape-design license.

Construction, installation, irrigation systems, electrical, plumbing, earthwork, walls and other structures, tree work, permit or design-review submittals, and any plan or approval that must be signed or stamped are outside this plan. Those are performed, designed or stamped by appropriately licensed professionals whom you engage directly. Where this plan touches a condition that could affect a building, a utility, a slope or a tree, have that condition assessed by the appropriate licensed professional before acting. We do not apply pesticides or herbicides; where this plan mentions pest or weed control, follow the product label and, where required, use a licensed applicator.

Any cost figure in this plan is a budgetary estimate for planning only. It is not a bid, quote or guaranteed price, and actual costs vary with contractor, materials, site conditions and timing. Plants are living things: nothing here guarantees plant survival or establishment, HOA or agency approval, water or cost savings, or any other result.

Coachella Gardening is not licensed under California's Contractors State License Law. Any planting help we offer is limited to small jobs under $1,000 total, including plants, that need no permit. Our full Terms of Service are at coachellagardening.com/terms-of-service.

When you book, this policy applies: All sales are final. A Quick Consult is paid in full when you book and can be rescheduled free of charge up to 24 hours before it starts, using the link in your confirmation email. A service or workshop is invoiced once we agree a date; the date is confirmed when the invoice is paid and can be moved once with 72 hours' notice. Changes inside those windows, and missed sessions, are not refunded. If we have to cancel, you choose a new date or a full refund. Full policy: coachellagardening.com/terms-of-service#refunds
