Customers frequently cite the nursery's competitive pricing, extensive selection of plants and stones, and knowledgeable staff who assist with plant selection and loading. Positive reviews highlight the friendly atmosphere and efficient delivery services, while the owner maintains high engagement by responding to nearly all feedback. However, a recurring criticism involves product quality issues, specifically complaints about crushed concrete containing excessive dirt and masonry sand mixed with rocks, which detracted from the otherwise favorable experience.

Ordered a bunch of crushed concrete. What i got was 75% dirt. When I asked about it I was wild that's normal. A couple rains and all the dirt washed away. Several thousand dollars gone. I leaned my lesson and won't be buying here again.

I'm sorry to hear you’re not satisfied. Our crushed concrete is sold as-is, but you’re always more than welcome to come by and look at the materials before placing an order so you can be sure it meets your expectations.
