1. Warranty Period:
The Contractor warrants all workmanship and materials used in the landscaping project for a period of 1 year, unless otherwise stated below, from the date of completion (the “Warranty Period”).

If any issues arise due to faulty workmanship or materials during the Warranty Period, the Contractor will rectify the problem promptly and at no additional cost to the Client.
Specific Material and Service Scope and Details:
- Plant Material (Trees, Shrubs, Perennials)
On plant material installed by Contractor, there is a 1 year, 100% warranty.
- Irrigation System
The system and controller have a 1 year, 100% warranty.
