Tree & Shrub Warranty

Stonegate Gardens warranties* only the trees and shrubs we install for a period of one full year from the date of installation. This includes a one-time replacement for plants that have not survived when given adequate care and water, per Stonegate’s guidelines. Delivery and planting fees for the new tree or shrub will apply.

 

Once you leave our nursery with your plants, we will continue to be a resource for you. We have created planting and watering guidelines that will help you transition your new plant material. Please contact Stonegate Gardens at the FIRST SIGN of trouble. The earlier a problem is addressed, the better for your plant. We are happy to discuss and prescribe adjusted care methods that can save your plant. Failure to contact us in a timely fashion may void your warranty.

 

Replacement material is subject to seasonal and availability. Stonegate Gardens reserves the right to substitute material not readily available with comparable material or replace it when the material becomes available. No refunds will be given for warranties.
