I am in the landscaping business, and have always guaranteed anything that I plant. But, when I walk away from that property, I have no idea how those plants are taken care of. I know from my own garden that over watering and under watering can look very much the same. I no longer unconditionally guarantee my plants. I now will replace the plant, but the customer must pay the labor charges for replacing it. I was once told by the neighbor of a customer that my customer had commented that it didn't matter if he watered the new landscape, it was guaranteed for a year, and if anything died, we would replace it. Maybe I will have to post on this topic too. I totally agree. I am in the landscaping business, and have always guaranteed anything that I plant.

You made some really good points and I espeically love the hardware store being run out of business because they couldnt stay open past 4pm. What a bunch of crap!
