Will we be provided with a list at closing or are we pretty much on our own? Our sales person is on vacation so couldn't ask him and figured this site would be a good place to ask. Sorry wasn't sure if this should have been posted in the newbie section or landscaping section. TIA

At closing you'll receive an inventory list. The plantings will indicate how many of each, either 5gal, 10gal, 20gal etc. but not the variety. Read this list VERY carefully. I challenged warranty on the actual sizes planted verses what was on my inventory list. Two weeks later all my plantings were replaced with what I paid for ( which are now substantially larger then the original plantings) I only had to write them once and they made good on it. Unfortunately many of my neighbors simply tore out the builders crap and planted their own, at their own expense. Check the inventory list very very carefully. Make sure you get what you paid for. This also applies to everything your house consists of, fixtures, cabinetry etc.
