Limited Guarantee
Plant material furnished by Whispering Hills Nursery & Landscaping, Inc. is guaranteed to be true to name. 
Should an error occur, the limit of our liability shall be the amount for said plant.

Nursery stock (excluding Perennials, Roses, Azaleas, Rhododendron & other material not hardy to zone 5) furnished by Whispering Hills Nursery & Landscaping, Inc. is guaranteed to grow for a period of one (1) year.

If installed by Whispering Hills Nursery & Landscaping, Inc., we will replace the plant for the full price paid, including installation, for one (1) year from the date of installation. 

Should unfavorable soil conditions exist that would have an adverse effect on the plants to be installed, there will be an extra charge for all labor and material necessary to bring planting areas to a condition suitable for proper planting. Any plant which fails to grow within a one (1) year period, will be replaced based on the purchase price paid, which may be applied to nursery stock only. It is mutually agreed that the limit of our liability shall be one (1) replacement. Plants will not be replaced unless 100% dead. (Evergreen = completely brown; Deciduous = completely brittle; no life left in plant) NOTE: Annuals, roses, perennials, azaleas, rhododendrons, emerald green arborvitaes & other plants not hardy to zone 5 are excluded from this guarantee.

Unconditional Guarantee
Lawns: We use only premium quality fertilizer, grass seed, and workmanship. It is impossible to guarantee the growth of grass or have freedom from noxious weeds. The proper care of a newly seeded or sodded lawn is equally important as the original installation. To assure growth, it is very important to keep the lawn moist until root growth is established. Consequently, grass will then choke out germinating weed seeds which are present in all soils. Seed work carries no guarantee.

Whispering Hills Nursery & Landscaping, Inc. makes no other warranties except those expressly made herein and disclaims any and all implied warranties.

Default
In the event the purchaser shall default before any work has been completed on the contract, Whispering Hills Nursery & Landscaping, Inc., reserves the right to keep the deposit as liquidated damages for nonperformance of the contract.

Underground Utilities
Whispering Hills shall not be held liable for any damage caused to underground utilities not marked by JULIE.
