PLANT WARRANTY

C&H Lawn & Landscaping, Inc. would like to thank you for choosing us as your preferred landscape installer. The installed plant material is accompanied by a ONE season limited warranty as follows:

Limited Warranty:

Your landscaping is accompanied with a 1 season limited warranty on the trees and shrubs installed by C&H Lawn & Landscaping if installed and maintained per the standards below.
Newly installed landscape plants will suffer transplant shock, particularly during the hot summer months. It is imperative that plants receive proper care. Upon installation it is the responsibility of the owner to supply the plant with sufficient water during the growing season (March through November) . Trees and shrubs are warranted for one season from date of installation and a one time replacement will be offered should they die.

Labor cost will occur if C&H Lawn & Landscaping, Inc. removes and replaces.

C&H Lawn & Landscaping, Inc., assumes no liability for replacement or warranty of plant material and is exempt from replacing plant material that is removed by others, lost, vandalized &/or damaged by any natural disaster, deer damage, damaged by pests, drought, flooding, abnormal weather conditions or any condition beyond our control.

There is no warranty on wholesale priced plants or projects sold at discounted rates. In addition, annuals, perennials, bulbs, ground covers, and transplanted plant material are NOT covered under this Warranty.

C&H Lawn & Landscaping Inc., will not warranty against weed growth in mulch or topsoil beds, due to the germination of dormant seeds prevalent in the soil.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

Water is vital for the success of
newly planted trees & shrubs.
Soil moisture must be consistent
through the first two to three years
after installation for successful
root growth.

Water when the root mass or
root ball is dry, not when the
surrounding soil is dry. Check
soil moisture by probing the soil
near the roots.
Apply water directly to the
root ball by placing a slow,
steadily dripping hose or
bucket next to the trunk

2-3 times each week on average
under normal conditions.
On average, apply 5 gallons per watering.

Shrubs may require less
water but just as
frequently.
Lawn irrigation or sprinkler
systems DO NOT provide deep
enough water for a newly
installed plant.

Our area is prone to Summer
and Fall droughts. Drought
conditions greatly increase
water needs for newly installed
plants.

Insufficient water is the
#1 cause of plant failure.

STAKING & TRUNK PROTECTION

New trees may require staking if it is top
heavy or if planted in a windy area. Stake
the tree upright but allow for some
natural sway, this will favor healthy root
development. Use a tree stake kit to
avoid harming bark or cutting off
circulation by using the wrong material.
Remove stakes as the tree becomes
established, usually after one growing
season. Trunk wrappings should be
removed once water warms in Spring.
Install Plastic guards to help
prevent damage from mowers or string
trimmers & deer and rabbit damage. Check your trunk periodically
for any sign of insect or animal damage.

BASIC CARE

Inspect your plant regularly for insects or
fungus that might damage foliage or bark.
Newly planted trees/shrubs can release stress
pheromones that attract these pests quickly.
If you’re having trouble identifying a pest you
can bring it in or send us a photo via email. If
you identify your pest or problem quickly, you
have a much better chance of remediating the
damage and saving your plant.

Mulching:
New trees & shrubs benefit from proper mulching.
Mulch regulates soil temperature, moisture & helps to suppress weed growth. Maintain a 2″ thick layer of mulch over the root mass and replenish yearly.

Pruning:
In spring, as terminal buds on branches
expand, they release a hormone that triggers
root growth. Cutting branch tips can delay
spring root growth. Only prune diseased or
damaged branches in the Spring and wait
until Summer after trees leaf out for any
cosmetic pruning. Any heavy or hard
trimming should delay until the Fall. Any mid -season prune should be covered with a
pruning sealer to prevent disease infection.
