Once payment has been received and your delivery date confirmed, the delivery team will make contact prior to arrival, to establish access control / placement of trees, etc. Any potential dangers must be communicated to the team upon arrival, i.e. underground pipes / cables, etc. Please note Watercombe Farm and its employees will not be held liable for any loss incurred while working at said premises.
The onus is on the property owner to provide sufficient and suitable access for offloading of trees and their subsequent movement to planting area. Our team will dig the holes correctly as per the size of root ball and any deviations may incur additional costs for labour. If the area to be dug is root bound or rocky... additional charges will be levied and settled in cash prior to planting, same applies for additional movement of plants, trees, etc.
Please ensure the team is not delayed in any way, placement of trees etc... to be finalised before day of planting.
Once our team has dug the necessary holes, we sprinkle Super Phosphate in the hole to encourage root growth, and place tree into hole. Compost is mixed with the loose soil and the hole will be filled. Fertilizer 5:1:5 is then sprinkled on top of soil as a general fertilizer.
Trees are then watered (please ensure water availability) and owners advised of correct watering schedule if needed. The team will ensure that all areas are cleaned and swept before departing.
PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE EXCESS SOIL LEFT OVER, PLEASE ADVISE OUR TEAM WHERE YOU MAY WANT US TO PLACE IT, AS WE ARE UNABLE TO TAKE IT AWAY WITH US.
