Landscaping Warranty
A Great Choice Lawn Care and Landscaping certifies that all plants are true to their labels. All landscape quotes are subject to the plants availability based on nursery wholesaler’s inventory. Due to time of year/ trends in the plants and weather conditions certain plants are only available during certain times of year. Substitutions of plants may be made prior to the installation, these substitutions will be made at the discretion of A Great Choice Lawn Care and Landscaping and will factor in both aesthetic value and a plant that is suitable for the location. A Great Choice offers a 1 year warranty from the installation date on all plants unless otherwise stated. Failure to follow proper horticultural practices and care sheet will void entire warranty. A Great Choice should be contacted immediately when any plant shows the first signs of deficiency.

Paver & Retaining Block Warranty Info
COLOR
Due to the inherent nature of printed literature and current digital media, A Great Choice Lawn Care and Landscaping cannot guarantee specific color matching to printed representations of its color swatches.
Each color option is composed of a variety of darker & lighter tones. Natural ingredients such as
granite are present within the recipe to allow for a range in tones, veining and textures from one stone to another. Therefore, color samples shown are approximate representations of standard colors and actual product colors may vary.
Final color selection should be made by the samples provided from A Great Choice Lawn Care and Landscaping. If concerns still exist of the final color selection A Great Choice Lawn Care and Landscaping will meet the client at the distribution yard to view multiple layers on pallets. A Great Choice always recommends immediately verifying the product and color upon reception. If there are any discrepancies, contact A Great Choice immediately before continuing your project. Installation of the product constitutes your acceptance of the product as is.
EFFLORESCENCE
This warranty does not apply to efflorescence. Efflorescence is a natural occurring process in all
concrete products which sometimes appears in the form of a white powdery film on the pavement
surface. Efflorescence is more perceivable in darker colors such as there is a higher level of contrast than with other blended colors. It does not, in any way, compromise the
functionality or the structural integrity of the product. Although efflorescence cannot be prevented, it will wash off over time or can be cleaned with efflorescence cleaner. A Great Choice accepts no responsibility or liability for this condition.
CONSTRUCTION RESIDUE
A by-product of cutting with a saw is residue-filled water or concrete dust. Residue-filled water or
re-hydrated dust can cling to the surface and leave a concrete stain. It is recommended to wash and
remove the water or concrete dust from the surface of the pavers before it dries. Construction residue can also happen through soil disturbance or environmental elements. These contaminants should be removed immediately but do not affect the integrity of the product or your installation. A Great Choice accepts no responsibility or liability for these occurrences.
