  1. Samples & Product Information

6.1 The pack sizes are based on a 10-15mm grout gap unless specified in the listing.

6.2 All paving may have a variation in size. BuyGardenPaving advises the customer to allow for +/- 3mm on thickness and 10mm on lengths and widths. This does also apply to the calibrated paving range.

6.3 Images are for reference purposes only and are only as clear as modern technology allows.

6.4 When ordering multiple packs of paving, BuyGardenPaving advises that the customer lay from each pack to blend the colours. Natural stones are particularly susceptible to colour and tonal variations, whilst porcelains vary from batch to batch.

6.5 Whilst sorting tiles to ensure suitable blending, normal practice calls to separate the tiles with minor damages or some unusual markings so that they can be used where cuts are required, or in less visible locations.

6.6 Mineral oxidization or rust contamination is a natural phenomenon that will not affect the durability or performance of the stone. The visible effects of this process can dissipate over time.

6.6a There are products on the market that claim to help and dissipate these effects. Always seek advice from the chemical manufacturer on the suitability of their products before use. BuyGardenPaving will be under no liability of any products that the customer chooses to use that damages or further impairs the product quality and appearance.

6.7 BuyGardenPaving will not be held responsible for the reflection stains or any markings on the paving caused by inappropriate laying.

6.9 The paving samples are an offcut of the selected product and are aimed at giving an idea of the colours and textures. (typical sample size is 75mmx75mm or 100mmx100mm – sizes can vary)

6.9a. Paving samples may only show one tone because of their size. BuyGardenPaving advises to order multiple samples to get better colour variations. We will not be liable for the difference between sample and product.

6.10 Samples are usually dispatched within 24 to 48hrs (excluding weekends) using Royal Mail second class and are delivered to the address provided.

6.11 Natural Cobble Setts can vary in width and depth – The depth and width of the set can have a tolerance of 25mm+ difference.

6.12 There may be a difference between the pallet and advertised size discrepancy. For example, the packing may advertise the number of slabs whilst the BuyGardenPaving website provides the m2 provided.

  1. Purchasing Goods

7.1 BuyGardenPaving will not be held responsible for any under or over ordering. Any dimensions within the product description are purely for guide purposes only.

7.2 BuyGardenPaving do not offer a buy back policy for any over ordered products.

7.3 BuyGardenPaving recommends the customer to double check the measurements before ordering, and to order a minimum of 10% extra to account for any breakages that could happen in transit or to use as offcuts. With Rainbow Sandstone BuyGardenPaving advise increasing this to 15%.

7.4 BuyGardenPaving advises the customer to only book in Landscapers, labour, tools and hire equipment etc. once the customer is in full receipt of the goods. If the customer advance hires or books in labour and the delivery is delayed, BuyGardenPaving accepts no liability for any incurred costs.

7.5 As the customer is ordering a natural stone product, the customer is accepting that it is in the nature of the stone that the paving have colour variations, iron flecks, textures, rivens, markings and tones throughout the paving. Natural markings such as sawn markings, hairline fractures/veins and unique flecks within the paving is natural and must be accepted. These do not defer the quality of the stone and does not make the paving unusable.

7.6 Edale and Homepave utility paving is a tough, hard-wearing and low-cost paving solution making it the perfect base for utility areas and sheds. However, it’s not recommended for feature patios. Our concrete paving products are sold as complete packs and cannot be split down for smaller quantities. Because of this BuyGardenPaving asks that the customer keeps to the 10% rule and order the correct amount of paving. Replacements of the concrete products can not be offered due to the soft nature of the stone that means that is does not travel well once spilt from the “full pack”.

7.7 The prices displayed on the website are exclusive to www.buygardenpaving.co.uk and may vary from our depot prices.

7.8 The customer is required to leave us a daytime contact number that they can be contacted on. Failure to do so may result in a failed delivery and a redelivery charges may be applied.
