Watering Guidelines

Spring and fall planting : Soak your new plants thoroughly when planted, then 2 times the first week and once a week for the following year. Stop in September for spring plantings.

Summer planting : Soak thoroughly when planting and again the next day. Water 3 times the first week, and then twice a week for 3 weeks and once a week for the next year. Stop at freeze-up of those planted from August on.

Important watering tips : Our Wisconsin soils and weather vary tremendously! The above guidelines for watering should be altered as follows for unusual conditions:

• heavy clay soil or cool, rainy weather = water half as often
• sandy, gravely soil or very hot weather = water twice as often
• late fall planting = be sure to continue watering until frost is set and again next spring

The soil should get moist to the bottom of the planting pit. But then it should be allowed to “air out” before being watered again. Adjust your watering schedule to reflect recent rainfall amounts. Rainfall may provide some or all of the moisture needed. Remember, one inch of rain replaces one watering. Also, downspouts should be diverted from shrub beds. Plant roots are deep. When you water, soak thoroughly. Don't water a little every day. Don't rely on sprinklers if you are watering your lawn.

Lien Notice

As required by the Wisconsin Construction Lien Law, Contractor hereby notifies Buyer that persons or companies furnishing labor or materials for the construction on Buyer's land may have lien rights on Buyer's land and buildings if not paid. Those entitled to lien rights, in addition to the undersigned Contractor are those who contract directly with the Buyer or those who give the Buyer notice within sixty (60) days after they first furnish labor or materials for the construction. Accordingly, Buyer will probably receive notice from those who furnish labor or materials for the construction and should give a copy of each notice to his mortgage lender if any. Contractor agrees to cooperate with the Buyer and his lender, if any, to see that all potential lien claimants are duly paid.
