Delivery Service
We have an arrangement with a trucking service that will deliver trailer loads of plant material. Freight is net, payable upon receipt of shipment. Unload deliveries as quickly as possible. Our policy is to schedule loads with enough lead time to deliver, unload, and return to our nursery early enough to make reloading possible. We appreciate your cooperation in this effort.
If your preference is to pick up your order instead of shipping, we will notify you by telephone when it is ready. The labor for loading and covering your order is our responsibility, however we do not provide tarpaulins. Please make note of the stipulations for pick up by customers. Arrive before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise arranged. After 3:00 p.m. we will not load. We do not load during the lunch hour, 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Pick up orders not picked up will be invoiced within five days of notification. We are not accountable for material not picked up in this time frame.

Claims, Cancellations
Any concerns, claims, disputes on plant material, report immediately upon receipt. Notations on shipping papers, a phone call or letter will be acceptable. We cannot guarantee the future life of plant material, but we do guarantee that your plant material will arrive in good condition. We assume no liability for delays or failure to fill orders due to causes beyond our control. Please submit cancellations of plant orders in writing. We cannot accept cancellations on orders for dug plant material.

Summer Digging
Due to the added time, labor, and expense necessary to dig and maintain the plant materials during the warmer months, orders need to be placed at least 5 days in advance of shipment. Please call in reference to tree prices during these months.

Retail Sales Tax

Maryland Law requires us to collect a 6% sales tax. Unless we have some form of tax exemption subsequent to invoicing, we have to charge this tax on all orders shipped or picked up within the state of Maryland. Examples of tax exemption forms that we accept are: Maryland Resale Certificate, Exempt Use Certificate, Exempt Organization Certificate, Direct Payment Permit or form of identification that the purchaser is a governmental agency. Deliveries to out-of-state customers are tax exempt.
