Free Fountain Installation
Service Agreement
One hairline fracture or a botched seal turns a high-end backyard into a swamp and your bank account into a crime scene. Without a tight contract, you’re one leaky basin away from a lawsuit that’ll strip your gear and leave you holding a $20,000 bill for 'property damage.'
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Subsurface Conditions' clause so you aren't eating the labor costs when your shovel hits an unmapped gas line or solid granite.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Fountain Installation, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the client wants to move the entire feature two feet to the left after I've dug the hole?
That's a change order, not a 'favor.' Your contract should define the exact site plan so any layout changes require a signed document and an additional fee before the shovel hits the dirt again.
How do I stop a client from holding my final check hostage over a tiny scratch on a rock?
Specify a 'Substantial Completion' trigger in your agreement. This means once the water is flowing and the pump is humming, the job is done and the check is due, regardless of minor aesthetic nitpicking.
Who covers the cost if the pump burns out because the owner forgot to refill the water level?
The owner does, but only if your contract includes an 'Owner Maintenance' clause. You need it in writing that your warranty is void if they run the system dry or fail to clear the intake filters.
