Before the day of installation:

• Have a Professional Landscape Consultation and design by the Hudgins team.  A good plan is key to a successful project.
   
• Call Miss Utility 4 days ahead @ 1-800-552-7001 to mark underground lines that may be in the planting area.
  
• Be sure your outside water outlets are working properly. 

During the installation:

• Be on site if possible, you can get a final look at the plants in place before planting.
   
• Have a notepad handy to write down information about the plants and the planting.  Feel free to ask questions while the crew is working.
   
• If you can't be on site during the installation, be assured your planting will be performed with care and skill that comes from years of experience.

Caring for your new plants:

• Your plants will be well watered at the time of planting.  A second watering will be necessary within 2-5 days depending on weather conditions.
   
• Water your new plants deeply and thoroughly.  Make sure the water soaks in.
   
• Fall plantings require a lighter water schedule due to cooler temperatures, but remember without precipitation, your plants can become dry, even in the winter.  Don't forget to water!  See our Fertilizing Instructions and Pruning Advice for seasonal recommendations for keeping your plants healthy and looking good!
