The Norris Guarantee

We value you as a client and realize that your satisfaction is crucial to earning your future business and your referrals.  But the real test of great workmanship is its longevity and livability!

Plants are living and require maintenance and care to a varying degree.  Once we have installed your landscape, you will be responsible for the continued health and vigor of the plants.  Providing for your new landscape is not difficult especially once it becomes established.  Upon completion of your new landscape we will give you general plant care and watering instructions.  Simply refer to our tips and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to call us.

If you wish to keep your landscaping looking its best and do not have the time or knowledge to devote to plant care, please consider one of our maintenance programs.

Norris Landscaping Services warrants our plant materials to be true to name and size according to accepted industry standards.  We install only the freshest materials, with hardiness tolerance suitable to our market area. If a requested plant has a hardiness zone rating which is less tolerant, we will let you know and a substitute will be recommended; otherwise, the plant will be excluded in writing from the guarantee.

Occasionally plants will not survive the process of transplanting. We will gladly replace them at no charge. Plant materials that fail will be replaced as soon as they become available and as quickly as our schedule permits.

Within the following schedule, we guarantee to replace, once, any woody plants installed by Norris Landscaping Services that fail to grow.

Two (1) year limited guarantee is provided for all woody plants (trees and shrubs, no perennials). Reasonable growing conditions must be maintained as a provision of the guarantee, including proper irrigation, insect control, winter protection, and shelter from unreasonable damage from pets or pedestrians.

Extended warranty and/or maintenance schedule only as determined by contract.

What is not included in our guarantee:

Replacement of any plant when the account is past due or has not been paid according to terms.

Perennials
Vandalism or Acts of God (i.e., lightning, flooding, hail, ice storms, abnormal and/or extreme weather conditions such as prolonged sub-zero temperatures or drought, early and late season severe freezes, damaging winds, etc.).

Replacement of plants that are damaged or die as a result of insect infestation or disease, unless covered by an ongoing maintenance contract. (If disease or insect infestation is diagnosed, we can apply controls for a reasonable fee.)

Replacement of plants that are injured or die as a result of improper cultural practices, such as over or under watering, over fertilization, damage from chemical applications, etc.

Replacement of plants that we planted by request, in areas that receive a reduced amount of natural rainfall or none at all. Plants which are not well suited to our hardiness zone or soil conditions. If any of these plants are requested by the client, they will be excluded in writing from our guarantee.

Due to shallow root systems and/or susceptibility to moisture and temperature extremes, certain plant materials are not guaranteed. This includes plants in pots, planter boxes or containers of any kind, client transplants, annuals, groundcovers, lawn seed, sod and bulbs.

Our guarantee is void if plants are moved.
