Terms & Conditions

Last updated: July 16, 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website operated by Mateo Landscaping and More LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), and your participation in our text messaging program. By using this site or submitting a form, you agree to these Terms.

1. About us

Mateo Landscaping and More LLC is a family-owned landscaping and home services company based at 1513 Paula Dr, Champaign, IL 61821. We provide lawn care and landscaping, fencing, decks, and handyman and remodeling services. Proudly serving Champaign, Urbana, Savoy, Mahomet and the surrounding Champaign–Urbana area.

2. Estimates and quotes

  • Estimates are free and carry no obligation. Requesting one does not commit you to hiring us.
  • Every property is different, so estimates are based on the specific work we assess on site. Information submitted through this website lets us prepare an estimate — it is not itself a binding quote.
  • If conditions change once work begins — something hidden under the surface, an unforeseen obstruction, a change you request — we will discuss it with you and agree any price change before we carry out the extra work. You will not be surprised by an invoice.
  • Estimates are valid for 30 days unless we state otherwise in writing.

3. Scheduling and access

  • We schedule in good faith and we show up when we say we will. Weather, ground conditions, and the pace of preceding jobs can move outdoor work; if that happens, we will contact you.
  • You agree to provide safe, lawful access to the work area, and to tell us about anything we should know about — buried utilities, irrigation lines, invisible pet fencing, septic fields, easements, or property line disputes.
  • You are responsible for obtaining any permission you need from a homeowners' association, landlord, or neighbour before work starts.

4. Permits, utilities and property lines

Some work — particularly fencing and decks — may require a permit or a utility locate. We will tell you when we believe one is needed, and we will not knowingly proceed without it. You are responsible for confirming your property boundaries. If a fence or structure is built on a line you identified and that line proves incorrect, the cost of relocating it is not covered by our warranty.

5. Payment

  • Payment terms are set out in your estimate or invoice. Larger projects may require a deposit before materials are ordered.
  • Invoices are due on the terms stated on the invoice.
  • Materials remain our property until paid for in full.

6. Warranty

We stand behind our work. If our workmanship isn't right, tell us and we will come back and make it right. The specific warranty period and scope depend on the type of work and are stated in your estimate.

Our warranty does not cover:

  • Damage from weather, storms, flooding, fire, or other events outside our control.
  • Normal weathering, fading, seasonal movement, or the natural aging of wood and other materials.
  • Damage caused by neglect, misuse, alteration, or work performed by someone else after we finish.
  • Plant material beyond the establishment period stated in your estimate — living things depend on watering and care after we leave.
  • Manufacturer defects in materials, which are covered by the manufacturer's own warranty. We will help you claim under it.

7. Cancellation

Let us know as early as you can. If you cancel after we have ordered custom materials or begun work, you remain responsible for materials already purchased and work already performed. Where you have a cancellation right under Illinois or federal law, nothing in these Terms limits it.

8. Text messaging program

Our text messaging program is entirely optional. On our forms you may separately consent to:

  • Transactional messages — reminders, appointment confirmations, and service updates relating to services you have requested from us; and
  • Marketing and promotional messages — special offers, discounts, and seasonal service reminders.

Both consent boxes are unchecked by default and are optional. You are not required to consent to text messages in order to submit a form or to hire us, and consent to marketing messages is not a condition of any purchase.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply — those charges come from your mobile carrier, not from us. Reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out at any time. After you reply STOP we will send one confirmation message and then stop. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Our handling of your mobile information is described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Age requirement (18+)

Our services and our text-messaging program are intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to request an estimate, enter into an agreement for work, or opt in to receive text messages from us. By submitting a form on this site, checking a consent box to opt in to SMS, or otherwise contacting us, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are under 18, please have a parent or guardian contact us on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect information from, or send text messages to, anyone under 18.

10. Use of this website

  • The content, photographs, and design of this site are our property or are used under licence, and may not be copied for commercial use without our permission.
  • You agree not to misuse the site, submit false information, or use our forms to send unsolicited or automated submissions.
  • We may change or remove site content at any time.

11. Accuracy of information

We work to keep this site accurate and current, but we do not warrant that everything on it is complete or error-free. Photographs are illustrative of the type of work we do. Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer or a guaranteed price.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Illinois law, our total liability arising out of any job is limited to the amount you paid us for that job. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The version posted on this page at the time you use the site is the version that applies to you. Changes do not affect a contract we have already agreed with you.
