I disagree... 2 palms I purchased are very nice and growing very well... I can tell you if you think all so called Landscapers in The Villages will replace their dead palms
I have one in my back yard that is awaiting to be replaced for 6 months... (now the year is up and no replacement for me) very few will re plant you another... as
excuses are endless and hard to get definite cause in writing... they will not give that too you... (it will state if the tree dies within _____ months we will replace...
Yep.. replace but does not include labor etc. you just paid the 2nd time around... but it works till they leave your property... Now to make this a fair statement..
a ____ percentage (fill in the blank as they do) will do you a fair good job... those big white pick ups, trailers, tractors, come at a price for you the buyer..
You at least can see the palm tree you are getting off the trailer... when you order one from a Landscaper it might be 4 feet shorter or have a 8" girth vs 12" and on and on.
And as usual do not even pay the huckster until its planted to your specs.. now whats wrong with that... yes I know.. no soliciting in The Villages... make sure your
Local Landscaper is also aware of this un enforceable rule... or should I say not enforced.. just move into a new neighborhood and watch the knocks at the door and cards
at the door from all kinds of hucksters and locals and truly good business people...
