Fencing & Posts

Due to circumstances outside our control posts etc may crack and bow due to shrinkage and moisture – this damage can also be caused by rain, soaking and drying of clay soils and invasion of tree rots. Fence lines need to be kept cleaned at all times.

Plants and Trees

Pants and trees are sometimes slow growers – you may have some that grow quite quickly and others that may be a bit slower to bloom. If after 3 months you are concerned with any plants please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sub-Soil Ground Movement

Building and living in the hills - can always be an issue with sub-soil ground movement so driveways, paths, garden walls etc can, and may, crack at times. Small cracks and movement are quite normal, especially in the hills areas. Tree roots can also cause cracking and that irrespective of the careful and professional attention we pay to earth works, this does not prevent, although it does minimise subsoil ground movement. Bulb like plant growth has been noted in the hills areas, as these spores can lay dormant for up to 5 years and then suddenly erupt and cause damage to the drive.

Grass Stress

Grassed areas these may stress in the summer months and may require fertilizing and a bit more water over the warmer months.

Automatic Solar and Farm Gates

Automatic Solar and Farm Gates may need adjusting due to shrinkage of gate posts. A 3 month maintenance programme exits during the warranty period. On expiry of the warranty all maintenance will be done through DCW Enterprises (Danny Woodhams) who can be contacted on 9492-0500

Mulch

• Will eventually go a light grey colour
• May have plastic mixed with the product etc due to mulch being Recycled green wast.
• May produce small mushrooms at times
• Weeds may grow due to air-borne seeds – not from the mulch as it is composted.

Reticulation

Reticulation will need to be checked for the first month and periodically during Summer, please ensure that it is switched off during winter. Even though we test all reticulation to ensure that it is working and is left in acceptable working order it is up to the owner to do ongoing checks. Reticulation can and will malfunction with leakages and blockages etc.

Drainage

If not completed by Creative Driveways, drainage will need to be addressed before the Winter months to minimize the flow of water to retaining walls, driveways and pathways.
