Check All Plants Weekly

Check newly planted trees and shrubs every few days for the first two weeks. Annuals and perennials need more frequent checks. After two weeks, check every 7-10 days. If you notice anything unusual like spots, insect damage, or chewed leaves, let us know. We can suggest what to buy or come by to fix the issue for an additional cost.

The first year of watering is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to your plants survival before becoming established.

Graceland Gardens assumes no liability for replacement of plants killed or damaged by pests, insect infestation, abnormal weather conditions, or other conditions beyond our control , nor will we replace plants experiencing “seasonal die-back”, when pruning and proper care will restore them to health. All plants installed with irrigation receive a 1 year warranty on the plants.
