The Hidden Costs of Callbacks: Why Quality Trees Matter

Warranty issues and callbacks are more than just an inconvenience. For landscape professionals, they’re a direct hit to your budget, your timeline, and your client relationships. Whether it’s a dead evergreen or a tree that never thrives, you’re often left eating the cost.

These failures can happen for a number of reasons—some preventable, some not. Often, it comes down to a combination of factors:

• Poor initial plant quality

• Wrong tree in the wrong location

• Improper planting techniques

• Lack of aftercare or communication with the client

But here's the truth: the quality of the tree you start with can either set you up for success or stack the odds against you—even if you do everything else right.

Great trees start with great root stock. We plant your trees for the long-haul.

At Armintrout’s, we grow evergreens with a focus on long-term performance. That includes proper spacing, consistent care, and practices that promote strong root development and transplant success. Our balled and burlapped and potted trees are inspected for quality before leaving the farm—because we know your name is on the finished product.

A field is prepped and awaits a new crop.

Of course, success doesn’t stop at the farm. We work with contractors every day to help match trees to the right sites, offer tips for proper planting, and even provide seasonal reminders for care and watering. Because we believe a reliable supplier should be more than a tree source—they should be a partner in your success.
