I am a neighbor of a customer of yours in Urbandale. Please train your staff on when cutting lime stone and the wind is blowing to try and keep the lime stone dust from going onto vehicles and personal property. You may think its no big deal, but it is. I will never use you or recommend your services. Very unprofessional!

I purchased plants over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday). Unfortunately, as I was figuring out a planting theme I overestimated the number of plants that would be suitable for areas of my house. I got too many plants that required partial to full shade. I figured returning the plants within 2.5 days would be sufficient with the plant warranty but I was mistaken.
I was told that the 6 plants were not in the same condition I bought them and the best that could be done was 50% of the purchase price. I could understand that but the plants were in good shape and like I mentioned about 2 days from when I purchased them. They had never been removed from the store pots so all of the original soil remained intact and I watered them Saturday, Sunday and it rained today.
While I took the 50% return, I now have no proof of a return to support the 50% value or to reconcile that the 6 plants were returned. Based on what was scribbled on my original receipt only 5 were returned versus 6 but I can't prove that because I didn't get a return receipt. And now I have a gift card that I have no idea what the balance is despite paying cash for a portion of my purchase.
My hope was to exchange for some plants that would be suitable for full sun exposure and chances are I would have had to spend more money then the actual return at full value. Terrible customer service even after messaging the owner directly. Not impressed and will never shop there again!

I purchased a hydrangea during their fall clearance last year. It was a fantastic price and seemed like a hydrangea of the right height. So I brought it home and planted it. But when it bloomed the next summer, I realized it was the wrong shrub. Apparently it was mislabeled as to what kind of hydrangea it was. I called the store and spoke with a manager who said it was too long after my purchase to try and help. So now I have to rip it out and buy a new one and actually pay more than if bought the first one at the regular cost at a different store.

Had a really great experience buying a tree and a truckload of mulch remotely during the COVID-19 quarantine. The arborist took the time to do a video call and talked me through different kinds of trees that fit the profile of what we wanted to plant. Planters were fast and remembered to come back a day later to finish staking the tree. Previously purchased products have been excellent.

My Husband and I purchased a fountain rock. If I was asked to give a letter grade it would be A ++++++++++++! From start to finish it was perfection. The visit to the nursery was very pleasant with all of our questions answered. The day of our install the truck pulled up at the exact time as promised. The two men that came were professional, cheerful, and friendly, as they worked in 100 degree heat.
When the job was complete, you would never know anything had been disturbed, this includes burying the electrical. Before the truck pulled away the crew even cleaned up around the truck and the street! Now we are enjoying the beauty and the bubbling sound of our granite stone, as we watch the little finches drink and bathe on our lovely addition to our patio garden! T from Grimes
