How does material choice affect cost?
- Plant Size - Smaller plant sizes cost less, but take a longer time to look fully established.
- Plant Selection - Faster growing plants tend to be less expensive, but can overgrow the space and become maintenance issues. Slower growing plants cost more initially, but require less maintenance. Drought tolerant and native plants also reduce long term landscape costs.
- Plant Growth Habit - By selecting plants with pleasing natural shapes, you can reduce long term maintenance costs by decreasing necessary pruning.

Sustainable Landscaping Practices
Evans Homes and Gardens is dedicated to sustainable landscape practices. We provide a variety of services including rain barrel and rain garden installation and design. We are also in the process of starting an education outreach program to teach the community about the importance of storm water management.
Watering Instructions for Newly Planted Material
- Lay a low running hose, about 1/4 pressure, at base of trees for 20-30 minutes, shrubs 15-20 minutes. Check to be sure that water is sinking into the soil at base of tree or shrub, not running off. If water is running off, try to block the water or lower the water pressure.
- Water newly installed plant material immediately after planting and every day for one week after planting.
- After the first week, water 2-3 times a week for one month following the above outlined watering directions.
- After one month, water once a week for a year.
- During occasional dry spells, plants may require additional watering the first year and beyond.
- It is best to water in the late afternoon or early morning.
We can not stress enough the importance of properly watering newly installed plant material. It is vital to the survival and success of the plants. Please contact our landscape department if you have any questions regarding watering or maintaining your landscape.
Provided that plants receive adequate care, plant material installed by Evans Homes and Gardens that dies within one year will be replaced at no charge to the owner. One time replacement only.
Plant losses due to abnormal weather conditions such as floods, excessive wind damage, drought, severe freezing or abnormal rains will not be covered under the guarantee.
