I recently bid a job to a friend of mine who is a GC. Nice landscape job, approx. 75k, w/ about 700 plants. Here's the catch.

I need to provide a 2 year warranty on the plants and the house sits at about 8,000 feet w/ a growing season of 3 months tops. Most of the plants are very compatible to the region, but the bottom line is there is apt to be some death loss due to weather and altitude. The job is too far away for me to provide maintenance, and I really don't care to move in the direction of maintenance either. Total wholesale plant cost is about $12,000.

The question is two fold: How much $ to add for the extra year warranty, and what verbage do I add to the contract to cover myself?

Thanks.
