This past year, Cross Creek Nursery celebrated 47 years of serving the Richmond area. Our humble beginning takes us back to Carytown, to a little shop by the name of Tropical Treehouse. Today, Cross Creek Nursery consists of 160+ employees and 5 divisions. One thing we've never lost sight of thru the years is how we enjoy working with our customers, and giving them the individual attention they deserve.
Whether helping a customer choose the right shrubs for their yard, designing a new outdoor room, or offering support to a nervous bride as she chooses her wedding flowers, we believe in keeping our commitment to excellence in all we do.

Patrick Gravel was our landscape designer for our backyard landscaping transformation. He was absolutely wonderful and listened to everything we wanted and incorporated specific requests we had. He was quick to respond to any questions we had. The team that came to prepare the yard and then do the actual landscaping were fantastic. They made small adjustments the day of to make the look even better and answered any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend Cross Creek for landscaping and design and we will definitely use again!

Awesome selection of plants. I've bought 5 perennials from this nursery this year. Great quality and service when you're there. The employees are so helpful! The only downside is that they don't have delivery services for river rocks. I wish they had that so I can buy from them. I don't have a means to get a pickup truck.

I am very much hurt by what happened today. I placed a phone call order for a house plant on Friday. I paid over the phone and was told it was set aside for me. I drive an hour and a half to pick it up today, only to be told it is no where to be found. Either and employee or customer stole the plant. I am extremely upset that something like this would even occur there.
I always love to visit cross creek to purchase not only house plants but outdoor plants too. I hope they get a chance to check the cameras as to what may have happened. They need to be like Great Big Greenhouse and hide sold plants, not keep them up front where people can see them. I will say the manager and cashier today were very helpful and were able to get me a refund.

We cannot say enough good things about the crew assigned to our project. They were incredibly hard working, personable, thorough and eager to please. They are an excellent representative of Cross Creek company. We are very pleased with the overall project results and would recommend Cross Creek for any landscape projects. Our home has made a remarkable transformation.

It was fun, we brought the kids, there were goats, creeks, bridges, cliffs, patios, barbecues, a slide, and the kiddos loved seeing bulldozers at work. They liked riding in the giant pushcart. And there of course were tons of flowers at great prices, way way better selection than Home Depot, and that's why we came in the first place. Busy with customers, but definitely not too busy for a Saturday.

Ordered flowers for my wifes birthday on a Wednesday to be delivered on Friday by 5 pm. I had knee surgery and unable to drive to pick them up. Specifically asked for them to be delivered before 5pm because she was leaving to go out of town. 445pm on Friday I called and spoke to Jamie in the florist department who could only tell me she had no idea when they would arrive and if I wanted to I could call back for a refund I could after 5 since that's when they were suppose to be delivered.
They close at 5, a lot of sense that makes. The invoice states that it was a before 5pm delivery. I asked if we could stay on the phone until it was figured out. She said no she couldn't do that. Would have been nice to give my wife flowers for her birthday before she left. Definitely won't be getting my business again and I have used them for many years. Patrick

This was my first time getting a real tree for Christmas, and I am so glad we chose this place! They have a very nice selection of trees in many sizes and the staff was impressively nice & helpful! Our tree is absolutely beautiful! So beautiful that I did not want to over load it with decorations so that the tree itself could be on display. We will definitely be back!

This is a wonderful garden nursery! I thoroughly enjoyed how they separated and organized their plants. Their shaded area is extremely peaceful! Their selection of water plants were not too plentiful but I did get a handful of free tadpoles for our backyard pond. They have a very large selection of pottery and inside plants as well. To cover this place, make sure you have plenty of time, because the place is huge! Definitely have what you need to create a beautiful garden! Enjoy!
