Cedar Planting Failures: Burlap Left On, Overwatered, Wrong Mulch

Contractor Errors

Burlap/wire not removed → root girdling.
Clay backfill, no topsoil → poor drainage.
5–6 in mulch → suffocation, vole habitat.
Overwatering → root rot.

Remediation

Demand proper replanting of dead trees (burlap off, wide hole, good soil, 3-in mulch).
Water only when dry 1 week (evergreens).
Deer browse = ragged tears, not clean snaps.
