By following the guidelines below, you will do your part in ensuring the success of your new trees and maintaining your three-month tree warranty*. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.

WATERING is essential for your new tree’s root system and is required for our three-month tree warranty*.

BEGIN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO WATER YOUR NEW TREES 

  • Watering is very important for your newly transplanted trees
  • Run the water over the WHOLE root zone to ensure maximum absorption.
  • Getting water on the branches and needles helps the tree stay hydrated.
  • Your SPRUCE trees will require water once every two weeks when dry conditions exist.
  • Your ARBORVITAE trees will require water twice weekly when dry conditions exist.
  • Watering is REQUIRED for SPRUCE TREES DIRECT to honor your three-month warranty*.

MULCHING is also very important and is also required for our three-month tree warranty.* 

APPLY MULCH TO COVER THE ROOT ZONE WITHIN ONE WEEK OF PLANTING.

  • The backfilled soil surrounding your new trees needs to be covered with mulch
  • Apply a 2″- 4″ layer of mulch and cover the entire root zone.
  • Leave space around the base of the trunk to avoid potential disease or rotting.
  • Mulch helps to reduce water evaporation from the soil.
  • Mulch also protects the roots from extreme temperatures.
  • Mulching is REQUIRED for SPRUCE TREES DIRECT to honor your three-month warranty*.

*NEGLECT: This is defined as “The failure of owners to care for trees properly.” Trees planted on the owner’s property are their responsibility to care for them.  The customer must have a general knowledge of how to take care of trees and be responsible for day-to-day care and watering.  Any situation where neglect is involved will void any warranty coverage.
