TL;DR
A plant warranty is a landscaper's written promise to replace trees, shrubs, or perennials that die within a stated period after installation, most often one growing season or one year. Coverage usually requires that the customer follow watering instructions and excludes drought, animal damage, and transplanted or customer-supplied stock.
What it means
A plant warranty is a landscaper's written promise to replace trees, shrubs, or perennials that die within a stated period after installation, most often one growing season or one year. Coverage usually requires that the customer follow watering instructions and excludes drought, animal damage, and transplanted or customer-supplied stock. Terms vary enough between companies that this clause often separates competing landscape bids more than unit prices do.
