Policies and Procedures

1- year guarantee on nursery stock

To our retail customers we offer a 1 year guarantee on evergreens, shrubs, roses, vines, and trees. Items not guaranteed include annuals, perennials, water plants, fruit bushes, cedar hedging, and sod. This guarantee is valid for 1 year from the date purchased.If your plant dies during that first year, you must present both the dead plant and the original receipt (credit card and bank statements are not accepted) to obtain your credit. For larger items we ask that you either cut them off at ground level and bring them in or contact us to send photos by email. The guarantee holds no cash value and we will replace the plant once with a credit note for the original retail price including tax. When using your credit, please be aware that the exact variety, size, or price of plant you originally purchased may not be available. Any plant material purchased on sale or promotion still applies under the 1 year guarantee but only for the price that was paid. Any plant material purchased using a wholesale account is not guaranteed.

5- year guarantee on nursery stock

Ritchie’s now offers an optional 5 year guarantee on the plants that carry a regular 1 year guarantee as listed above.  In order to qualify for this program, simply purchase the appropriate amount of MYKE tree and shrub growth supplement for the plants being planted, plant the plants as outlined in the MYKE planting instructions, and maintain proper care for the plants.  MYKE tree and shrub growth supplement MUST be used at time of planting to be effective and for the 5 year plant guarantee to be applicable.

If your plant dies within five years, you must present both the dead plant and the original receipts for the plants and MYKE tree and shrub growth supplement (credit card and bank statements are not accepted) to obtain your credit.  For larger items we ask that you either cut them off at ground level and bring them in or contact us to send photos by email.
