Aaron, you addressed a fear of mine.   I killed a mature, perfectly healthy Azalea bush.  It was completely my fault, and it was a lesson learned.  The bush was directly to the side of the downspout.  That downspout wasn't bagged, and the mix could have been thicker.  I've learned from that and have adjusted.

Should have put a hose up that spout and let it run for a time before I began, is what I was told.

Do you recommend taking pictures of the foundation plantings before the job?  Do you do that with each job?  I don't know, it would seem awkward, but it would help to resolve any issue of culpability before and after your application, in they were dying before you got there.

Does Miracle Grow work to revive a plant that absorbed SH?

Thanks.

 Watch you have to watch out for is the HO who is a crook and wants something for nothing. Last year after I completed a job (2 days later)  get a call from the HO who says all his landscaping is dying. I go to his house and see several bushes that have winter damage from where he shoveled snow up against them. Already "dead brown" and brittle around the bottom. Called my insurance co. who sent an adjuster out. This guy was a nutless fool. He agreed to pay this liar $3100.00 and to this day the plants have not been replaced and pretty much have grown back into healthy plants. Between the HO and the insurance guy, I don't know who to shoot first..

None of the damage was caused by me, but the insurance guy said its cheaper to settle than defend it in court. Cost me $500.00 in deductible. I was/am pizzed.

Don't really matter if the insurance company sends a nutless fool out to process the claim. Most don't want to go to court and are afraid to call the HO's hand on the lies.
