Default Gripe or no gripe?

A few months ago we hired a landscaper to replace mulch with stone and put in some landscape block walls. We also asked that a small palm tree be planted. Being a snowbird I didn’t know anything about palms but I guess I should have looked into this first. The landscaper didn’t give us any information about different types of palm trees and planted a small robellini. We arrived here on New Year’s Eve and since then I learned that robellini’s are susceptible to frost. We have been covering it on freezing nights but the leaves are turning brown. I’m thinking the landscaper should have given us options as to what type of palm should be planted. If that was done we would have chosen the hardiest plant. Agree or disagree?
