About

The Planting Crew

The planting crew typically consists of two planting technicians. Labor for the first man is billed at the rate of $55.00 per hour and the second is billed at $45.00 per hour for a total of $100.00 per hour for a two man crew. The time billed for labor starts from the point of loading or leaving the previous job location to the time when the crew is leaving your residence. There is a generally a minimum charge of $100.00 for labor.

We much prefer that you are present at planting, however, if you will not be there, we need to know the exact location of where you want the plant placed. Talk to the sales person about this when your planting is being scheduled.

If you have any questions or changes regarding your planting, call our garden center at (970) 242-7766.

A Quick note on

Planting Locations

Regarding the location of your planting, pay special attention to your underground sprinkler system and utilities. We will do our best to avoid damage to any buried lines; however, we do find them occasionally.  We will repair them immediately, however, you will be billed for the time and materials used to repair the damage.

Our crews will install your plants to the following guidelines:

  • The planting hole width will be twice the width of the container the plant comes in, or 8”-12” larger than the rootball of a B&B tree. The hole will be dug 1”-2” shallower than the depth of the root ball of the plant.

  • We will incorporate amendment and root stimulator to the planting. You will be billed for the actual amount used in installing your plant.

  • We recommend staking most trees after planting.  An additional $27.50 per tree will be charged for staking materials. We recommend that you remove the stakes after one year.

  • Trees that are planted in a lawn area will be left with a 12” ring around the tree free of turf. This helps prevent damage to the base of the tree from lawn mowers and string trimmers.

  • We will water the plant at the time of planting.

Our Guarantee

Thanks for buying a plant from Bookcliff Gardens. Our goal is that you be successful with every plant you purchase from us. We'll try to give you as much information and instruction as it takes to make this happen. If you have any questions, please ask! We'll do our best to answer them. However, since this is not a perfect world, and in spite of the best of both of our efforts, plants sometimes die. If this happens within the first year after buying the plant from us, we will replace it; give you an equal amount of credit; or refund the purchase price. You must have your receipt for the guarantee to be honored. We limit our guarantee to replacing a plant only once, and the guarantee does not apply to annual bedding plants, perennials  or house plants. If you're having a problem with a plant, come in and talk to us about it; we'll try to find out what happened so we won't lose another plant. It's in both of our interests that the plants you buy from us grow and thrive. We want you to be successful!
