My reason for this visit was because I needed and wanted plants for my pond. I do have to mention that I did spend a good amount of time looking around at all the pond displays that are so nice!! But then the selection of healthy plants that you get to choose from surpassed my expectations. The prices were very reasonable so I picked out 1 water lettuce and 1 water hyacinth and have to say I am quite impressed that they have been in my pond for about 2 weeks and have already increased in size to give my pond the aeration and shade needed to help my fish enjoy the full sun summer. I will purchase from here in the future instead of wasting time elsewhere. See my photo's to see how fast they are growing. I recommend a visit to this place if you enjoy "ponding".

As the owners of a newer local lawn maintenance and landscaping business serving the Bayville and…read moreForked River area, we were disappointed by our experience at Hammett's Landscaping & Garden Center yesterday. We visited the garden center to purchase trees, shrubs, and flowers for a customer project and, during checkout, asked whether they offered a contractor discount. We were then asked to provide proof that we owned a landscaping business. While my husband was wearing a company shirt, we were asked whether we had a business credit card, business paperwork, or company branding on our truck. We explained that we do have a business credit card, but do not carry our business registration paperwork in our vehicle. We also explained that while our daily-driver truck is not wrapped, our business trailer is fully branded and was on the job site. The employee then commented that my husband could have borrowed someone else's shirt and credit card and stated that "everyone wants to be a landscaper." She insisted that a vehicle with business logos on the side was required and concluded the conversation by patting me on the arm and saying, "Next time bring your paperwork and we'll give you the discount." We completely understand a business needing to verify contractor status before offering discounted pricing. However, there is a respectful and professional way to do so. The implication that we were being dishonest in an attempt to save money was both unnecessary and insulting. As a local small business, we make every effort to support other local businesses whenever possible. We had hoped to establish a long-term relationship with Hammett's for future landscaping projects, but this interaction left us feeling unwelcome and undervalued. As a result, we will be sourcing materials for our upcoming projects from other local garden centers. Hammett's has a beautiful selection of products and clearly possesses extensive horticultural knowledge. Unfortunately, customer service and professionalism are equally important parts of the customer experience, and in this case, those qualities were lacking. If contractor verification is required, that's understandable. But customers should be treated with courtesy and respect throughout the process.

We've been loyal customers even though their prices are high, the selection is very good.

Good customer service would have been to at least offer 50% back towards a replacement. Nope. Hammett may know plants but they don't know anything about customer service. Buyer beware!
