Are guarantees and replacements legally required for installed plants in Louisiana?

In Louisiana, while there is no legal requirement mandating guarantees and replacements for installed plants, it is indeed a common practice among landscape professionals to provide warranties. This approach helps build trust with customers and ensures that they receive healthy, thriving plants. By offering some form of guarantee, landscapers can assure clients of their commitment to quality and service, which can facilitate repeat business and referrals.

Providing guarantees can vary based on the specific circumstances of the job, the types of plants installed, and the agreements made between the landscaping company and the client. These practices may include providing a certain period for plant replacement if the plants fail to thrive due to causes that can be attributed to the installer’s work, such as improper installation or poor quality of the plants supplied.

The other options suggest either absolute requirements or broad exclusions that do not accurately reflect the industry standards, as guarantees are not universal but can enhance customer satisfaction and business reputation when included in service agreements.
