Let me start by saying I'm only giving them 1 star because it is required to post the review. If I…read morecould give them NEGATIVE 5 I would. My GC has been with us for 8 years through 1.5 Million dollars in renovations. We have never had a problem with anyone working on our home through all 3 phases. Everyone gets paid and never waits for a check (or cash). The only exception to our great experience with over a dozen companies is Old Mill. The job is roughly 141K in cost. They were chosen because they install turf and we were using it in the rear of our property. The job was plantings, sprinklers & turf. The entire exterior landscaping minus lighting. Our electrician handled that from our GC. I'm going to list some of the numerous screw ups and the FRAUD they tried to use on our job. They were given professionally drawn landscape plans. There were no change or surprises. 1. The west facing side of our property is full sun exposure and had 32 Thuga Giants installed. They waited until a few days before the first frost to install them. ALL 32 died. They were required to replace them as per our contract. 2. We built a pool house on the property. The sprinkler control box is INSIDE the utility room. The control wire was run through the wall to the exterior BY OLD MILL. All they had to do was mount the box and start the system. For some reason (unexplained) the worker (owners son) decided WITHOUT TALKING TO ANYONE. To drill a NEW 1 Inch hole though the wall to the exterior and run a new wire. STAPLING IT ACROSS A FINISHED PAINTED WALL. Leaving the remainder of the hole unfilled with daylight showing through. Then he rather the bury the wire in the outside, staples it straight across the siding. DESTROYING 15 PIECES OF NEW HARDI PLANK SIDING. We were livid and should have fired them right then and there. But we gave them ANOTHER chance. Strike 2. Next how did they repay our kindness? NEXT UP! 3. Now for the FRAUD. See #1? He is thinking how can he recover the cost of replacing all those trees? The turf. Thats the next phase of the job. When we met with them originally a sample of two different turfs was provided 75 & 60. We paid for 75 and had it in the contract. It is higher quality (thicker, longer & better color). Guess what showed up at our house on installation day? ? You guessed it SIXTY, 60. I saved the samples and made sure I was home the day of installation. It is obvious as soon as you look at it. They we told not to put it down and have the boss come by. HE ADMITTED THE FRAUD!!!!! The job is over 1500 sq ft. Thats how he was going to get US TO BACK DOOR pay for all the trees he had to replace due to his negligence. More on that next. 4. Well it's spring almost summer and 16 of the trees he replaced the first time are now dying. He was notified and asked to check to see if the sprinkler (drip system) was correctly installed and working properly. Who does he send? His son again! We were not home. But we watched the RING camera footage. Kid digs a small whole, feels if the ground is damp. And leaves. Sprinklers are good we are told....Only problem....It monsooned the night before! Fast forward 2 weeks, trees are looking worse. I call him to ask him what's up here? The drip sprinkler is 4 to 6 feet away from the trees and it seems the trees are all dry and dying again. He starts screaming on the phone. I told him he will not be seeing the remaining balance and he can quit if he likes to. Turns out.......The sprinklers were installed wrong! If I could give the company negative stars I would. If you are planning on using them GOOD LUCK. I would not let them take care of a house plant. They are terrible.

They don't swap out your tank, only fill the ones that you bring, which I love considering I purchased new tanks when I moved into the neighborhood.

My wife and I arrived about 1/2 hour before closing. Some trees were priced higher and asked to see ones as advertised. The gentlemen who helped us took us in the back and helped pick out a beautiful tree. We went to pay and told him we members of the chamber and received a slight discount he threw in a bottle of Plantabbs Prolong to nourish the tree. They put the tree in our SUV and home we went. The tree is beautiful for what we paid for it. See pics. I also go here for my Propane and the staff are always polite and efficient.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT HOME DEPOT…read more My wife and I were driving there for our first time purely on a hunch looking for a rose fertilizer that we couldn't find any where else. I don't normally give 5 stars to an establishment solely on a whim but Starkie caught me by surprise. Their plants for one looked healthy and weren't beat up by a lack of water or crated in like a surplus haul that we have seen at Home Depot. This Garden center was huge and made us feel that we were out on a farm in Amish Country. The whole Garden Center sits on a 1.2 to 1.5 or 57,000 square foot plot selling hard to find items that one would never see at Home Depot nor Lowes. *Large Parking Lot *The grounds clean, shelf items organized, cashiers eager to help you. Main building open and airy with a huge skylight allowing for plenty of natural lighting. *Property consists of 4 main buildings each dedicated to their own service of sales. Even though our purchase was small and our stay was brief, this Garden Center actually made for a lasting impression of quality on us. It is hard to predict if we will be ever purchasing again from them because of cost and distance from our home but at least for now it will be something to consider. *The Review Guru Long Island NY
