What recent reviews say

Strong work on seasonal planters and smaller hardscape jobs, but large landscape redesigns often disappoint due to questionable design choices and lack of year-round plant vision. Communication and accountability are major pain points: missed appointments, ignored emails, and inflexible policies on plant replacements frustrate long-term customers despite occasional praise for staff expertise.

Praised for
  • seasonal planters and design
  • knowledgeable staff
  • reliable execution on smaller projects
  • plant quality and health
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and missed appointments
  • design flaws on large projects
  • no warranty or plant guarantees
  • unreliable follow-through on commitments

Best for: Customers seeking seasonal planter design and smaller hardscape refreshes with oversight.
Think twice if: Hesitant about large landscape redesigns without detailed design review, or if you need reliable communication and accountability on timelines.

  • Hardscape and patio design with site problem-solving

Common questions

Do you offer a plant warranty or guarantee?
One review references a one-year plant health guarantee, though a customer disputed it after plants died at 20 months. Verify terms directly before purchase.
Can I return or exchange plants I'm unhappy with?
A customer returning a wrong shrub within one day was refused an exchange due to an all-sales-final policy, though they had watered it. Confirm return/exchange policy before buying high-value plants.
How reliable are seasonal planter designs and delivery?
Seasonal planters are consistently praised across multiple years for creativity and sophistication. Multiple customers report standing orders over 2-3 years with no disappointments on this service specifically.
