What if the plants you installed die?

What landscaping companies need to publish

Plant establishment depends almost entirely on watering the contractor does not control, so the warranty terms need to be explicit before anything goes in the ground.

How customers actually ask it

The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:

  • “What if the plants you installed die?”
  • “plant warranty landscaping”
  • “do you replace dead shrubs”
  • “tree planting guarantee”

What a complete answer contains

For landscaping companies specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 5:

  1. 1

    The warranty period for trees, shrubs and perennials, which usually differ

  2. 2

    That the watering schedule is a condition of the warranty, and what that schedule is

  3. 3

    What is excluded: drought neglect, pet damage, string-trimmer damage, extreme weather events

  4. 4

    Whether annuals and sod are covered at all, stated plainly

  5. 5

    How a claim is made and whether the replacement includes labour

A worked example

Illustrative — not a real business

Trees and shrubs are warranted one year, perennials 90 days. Annuals and sod are not warranted — they depend entirely on watering after we leave. The condition on the warranty is the watering schedule we give you in writing: deep watering two or three times a week for the first season, not a daily sprinkle. What it does not cover is drought neglect, string-trimmer damage at the trunk — which is the most common way a young tree dies — pets, or a genuine extreme weather event. A claim is a photo and a phone call, and replacement includes the labour.

Which page should own it

Plant warranty page

What silence costs

An unwritten plant warranty is argued about every spring, and the argument costs more than the shrub.
