Trees are amongst the most beautiful of garden ornaments, but they are also living things which will need care from time to time in order to establish well and flourish in the years to come. Your advisor will talk through any care requirements specific to the varieties you choose, but below is an overview of the care all of our trees will require.
Fortunately, trees are fairly independent creatures so we hope you won’t find their needs particularly demanding. However, for added reassurance, we offer a range of services with increasing levels of aftercare support built into the accompanying warranty. So, for example, if you are a very experienced professional groundsman, you may opt for a supply only service and take responsibility for all aftercare requirements, whereas if you are a novice with limited time to tend your trees, you may prefer to opt for our delivery, planting and aftercare package which transfers the bulk of the aftercare responsibility to us. We can also install fairly inexpensive automatic watering systems at time of planting for added peace of mind.
We’ve outlined how aftercare responsibility varies by warranty type below. You can read more about our warranties on our About Warranties page.
