[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been waiting to re-landscape the front of our house and finally found a great landscaping company to do it. I assumed they would think it’s best to plant everything in the fall vs summer, but they are telling me it’s fine to replant everything in the next couple weeks. We are planting hydrangea, boxwoods and some Japanese willows.

Are we crazy to do this now instead of waiting until the fall? The landscaper does guarantee their plants for a year, but still don’t want to do with chasing them down to replace dead plants.[/quote]

Do they guarantee the plants if they are not watered properly? You can plant during the summer but you need to water. Like every day or two depending on the plants and the right amount of water depending on the plant. Forget for a few days in 90 plus degree weather and they will die.

I use to put a temporary drip irrigation system with a timer in when planting in the summer. Maybe lose one or two plants out of 700. [/quote]
