GUARANTEE
- Plant Material
We are so confident in our trees, shrubs and evergreens, that we offer a 2-year guarantee unless noted otherwise. From the date of purchase, Wendland Nursery will guarantee the amount of money spent on any tree, shrub or evergreen that you purchase*. Our selection of replacement plants (size, value, and availability) change from year to year. Due to these reasons, we will only guarantee the amount of money spent. Plant material will be replaced ONCE within the warranty period. Replacement nursery stock is NOT warranted even if it is a different type of plant. Substitutions may be made if original plant material is not available. If original plant material was delivered and not installed, the replacement will also be delivered only. Wendland Nursery is not responsible for tipping or settling issues on delivered or installed plant material. There are NO cash refunds on dead nursery stock. A gift card may be issued for plant material that is unavailable and can be used for the same plant or any other in stock item. *Limited warranted items include Shrub Roses, Rose Trees, Rhododendrons/Azaleas, Dwarf Alberta Spruce, Japanese Maple, Redbud, Buddleia, Perennial flowers and Grasses. All limited warranty items are only warranted until November 1st of the year purchased. There is NO guarantee on annual flowers, bulbs, herbs or vegetables, plants installed against our recommendation, or customer’s plants that have been transplanted. Guarantee is VOID if customer installation and/or plant care is not properly done. (This includes mishandling of plant material, shaving roots of plant material, removing burlap and twine, not watering or overwatering.)
PLEASE BE PATIENT, some plants can be very slow to leaf out. Do NOT remove plant from ground unless you are certain that it is dead. Please contact us with any plant concerns prior to removing them.
Lawns
Reseeding of bare areas larger than 1’ x 1’ will be done ONCE at no charge if within the first year, on seeded lawn construction. Weeds in a new seeded lawn may occur. Any additional spraying or weeding needed are not covered under guarantee. Gapping on sodded lawns will not be covered.

Wendland Nursery does NOT cover damage caused by either settling or washouts resulting from natural erosion and /or downspouts. Guarantee is VOID if problems are due to owner neglect.
Hardscapes, Masonry, Decks
All Hardscapes, masonry and deck projects have a 2-year workmanship warranty. All work is to be built to or above current code requirements. From the date of installation, Wendland Landscape Services, Inc. guarantees your installation from settlement of pavers and walls, and from separation of wall units for a 2-year period, under normal wear for which the product was intended. (i.e.: If you drive or run heavy equipment over a walkway which was intended as a pedestrian walkway, Wendland Landscape Services, Inc. will not be held accountable) Replacements and/ or repairs furnished under this guarantee shall not carry a new warranty but shall carry only the unexpired portion of the original guarantee provided. No cash refunds will be provided under this guarantee. This guarantee does not cover any defects in material or equipment incorporated into the hardscape, masonry or deck project which are only covered by the manufacturer or supplier written guarantee, if any. Pavers or wall units placed on existing concrete surfaces as a result of customer request, will not be repaired under this policy. Hardscapes, masonry, or decks damaged or destroyed by Acts of God, vandalism, animals, fire, removal, alterations, and relocation will not be repaired under this guarantee. Hardscapes, masonry, or decks damaged or destroyed by abnormal traffic, weather conditions such as floods, excessive wind damage, drought, severe freezing or abnormal rain will not be repaired or replaced under this guarantee. Exact color matches are not guaranteed! White substance on pavers (efflorescence) is the result of a naturally occurring reaction and is not a defect and therefore will not be covered under this guarantee. Polymeric joint sand is not permanent and will require future replacement. Polymeric joint sand may wash out in areas that are prone to heavy water use such as gutter run off or hose bib areas. Only pavers will use polymeric joint sand. Polymeric joint sand will have a 90 day installation guarantee. All alterations made by homeowner or outside contractors will result in cancelation of guarantee. Any additional work not related to the original scope of work is subject to a change order and will be an additional cost assumed by the homeowner.
