AVOID THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I brought in my mower in February to beat the spring rush. They told…read moreme it'd be around $120 to service it, even though the quoted price for a tune-up is $80. Okay, fine. They then called me back a week later and said it was going to be over $200. I could almost buy a new mower for that price, but I decided just to accept with it. For the next three weeks, I called every week to ask when it'd be ready, and every time I was told "next week." After five weeks I got sick of this and finally went back into the store in person. I was tired of being strung along every time I called over the phone, and I wanted a straight answer. Turns out, they hadn't done a single minute of work on my machine. They repeatedly lied to me over the phone, saying it was "almost ready" or would be ready "early next week." Totally dishonest. So I asked for my deposit back, and the initial response I got was, "that might not be possible." I was forced to get slightly rude and demand my money and my machine back from these liars.

This nursery is what turned plant collecting into my new hobby. I decided to dip my foot in and…read moregive it a try, and I absolutely fell in love. I wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time. Instead, I literally plan an entire route on that side of town just so I can stop by and leave with a basket full of plants. The staff here are top-notch. They're always happy to give advice when you ask, and I constantly see them walking around, organizing, and staying busy. The nursery is huge, everything is well organized, and it's easy to browse. They also have some of the best deals and prices I've found. I've scored some incredible bargains on their 4-inch plants for just $1.99. Just make sure you go with at least some self-control because it's way too easy to go overboard--I definitely have! I also bought a Pink Lady seedling here, and it has grown and bloomed beautifully. The quality of their plants is excellent. I've lost a few plants simply because I'm a beginner, but I've also managed to keep many of the ones I bought back in early March, and now it's July. That alone says a lot about the quality, and I'm still excited to keep coming back for more.

He picked out a beautiful one that fit my pot, and then potted it for me while I was paying. Could not have had a better experience.

Shopping for rock is more tedious than one might believe. Do you need big and flat? Thick and…read moreflat? More symmetrical? Smaller but stackable? And that's just the beginning. What about color? Don't get me started on color! There are wide variations of color even among the same type of rock. Take moss rock for example. It can vary widely from orange earth tones to darker brown and hot every shade in between. All of this variation brought me to E.D.S (it three letters; not Ed's). E.D.S has the absolute widest selection of any rock I have seen at one location. There are three locations in the Houston area. There's one in Katy, Kemah, and Southeast Houston on Dixie Farm Rd. We went to multiple businesses looking for the right rock. We kept coming back to something that we found at the Dixie Farm Road location. With all the variation in rock that I mentioned above, this is one area that I am not willing to skimp when it comes to picking the right color. I wanted something that was stackable and small enough that I could use it to outline my three flowerbeds in my front yard. I wanted a color that matched the brick and trim on my house. Of all the places I went to, EDS is the only one that had the color and selection that I wanted. They even had multiple pallets of what I wanted which allowed me to choose not only color but size of rock that I wanted. If you are purchasing a lot of rock, it is cheaper to purchase by the pallet load. I purchased two complete pallets and paid $.19 per pound. If I were to buy the rock loosely off the pallet and not purchased the entire pallet, it would be around $.25 per pound. Moss rock is the most economical and varies between $.13 and $.15 per pound. However, moss rock is not what I needed so I paid more and got exactly what I wanted. Like I mentioned above, there are some things that I will hunt for value and other things I want to get exactly what I need and not skimp on price. This is one of those times. You can also pay to have them deliver it to your house with a forklift. Price varies depending on where it's going. Bottom line - excellent selection of rock for your landscape needs. Price varies depending on what you are purchasing. It is less expensive to purchase by the pallet. Delivery is available. I hope you find this review helpful.

Avery knew each of their wide selection of plants and shrubs like the back of his hand. In addition to Houston Garden Centers for regular fare, I regularly enjoy shopping at Buchanan's and Joshua's nurseries because of their unique and native varieties. Today, though, I was introduced to plants and shrubs at TGU that are just as native or unique and that I had never seen in Houston before. Avery was impossibly patient, thorough, and easy to get on with as he helped me pick out good low-maintenance options for my hodge-podge cottage-style garden. Though The Ground Up is set up mostly for plant sales to landscapers and professionals, they also sell to individuals at retail prices (only on Saturdays I believe). Sasha, when I checked out, was very sweet, funny, and very charming. I've been to their Richmond location and can't speak very highly of it, but this Brittmoore Rd TGU was brilliant.
