They have good service and great quality trees and plants, but way over priced. Since buying 2 trees earlier this year, I found another nursery very near my town that charges almost half the price with same service & warranties.

Great place, great help, great price, knowledgable staff, and a good variety of plants you won't see anywhere else. Walmart single vegetable plants are $5. Turtle Creek was $3. This will be my new go-to place for gardens and beyond. Enough said.
Lots of beautiful flowers and shrubs at a good price. Plus lots of cute lawn ornaments, bird baths, etc. Very cute to walk around the little paths and hear the fountains. You can even sit for a minute on a bench among the trees.
We had to replace a shrub in our landscape. Plus needed advice about a wind damaged ornament tree. We recieved educated information from the staff-plants looked healthy and they had a nice sale going on.
Turtle Creek came and did some landscaping work at my neighbor's house across the street and left rocks all over the street and in MY yard.

Turtle Creek came and did some landscaping work at my neighbor's house across the street and left rocks all over the street and in MY yard. Pic attached are just some of the rocks that I discovered today while mowing. My house is ACROSS the street from where they working btw. There's no excuse for a company to behave this way. They might know how to grow pansies, but they sure don't know how to clean up after themselves. I guess add Turtle Creek to the long list of companies that don't give a damn about doing a good job anymore. Sad.

A big thank you to Jessica for planting my pots. They look amazing! I'm so happy with Turtle Creeks selection and customer service.
Always helpful and courteous.
I've been continuously impressed with the customer service here! They have been helpful, kind, and knowledgeable of their plants etc. It's beautifully designed and a lovely atmosphere. All of the plants/products I've used to landscape this summer have been a success.
