I would recommend a different place for mower repair and service. This place is consistently too slow. Don't say you weren't warned.

Purchased a zero turn Spartan in 2021 from them, nothing but top notch service from them since. Really recommend them for those looking for equipment and all your outdoor gear. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Brittany. Best salesperson. Really knew her stuff. Pleasant professional and patient[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely go back and refer them. Bought 2-0 turns there read more

Initially my experience was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the store is great customer service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] BUT, the delivery guy Larry was such a horrible experience. He did not place the product where requested as the other delivery driver did before. He yelled at my wife. He was totally out of line. Now I use the company called KrushinLLC Crush Concrete. I discovered their price is lower and a much more pleasant experience all around including the delivery. read more

Great products, prices were good and the staff was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Found just what we were looking for for our home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Greetings. I have had the pleasure of my exterior landscaping done entirely by The Yard Stop. From the driveway pavers , the sidewalks, the back large patio and the design of the many trees planted to provide privacy has been an exceptional well managed project by the entire team. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hanna Pieri handled the architectural design , coordinated the project with the crew and provided excellent service and communication[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. All employees were not only professional but extremely kind and considerate. My entire exterior yard is beautiful and I am very pleased with the entire experience. I highly recommend The Yard Stop if you are looking for a professional and beautiful end result for your home or business. You will not be disappointed. With gratitude for a project well done thank you Hanna and The Yard Stop. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Due to Sthil hand pruner not being stock, item had to be ordered. When ordered we were NOT told that they could not be exchanged.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So [[HIGHLIGHT]]when I went to pick up item I requested to exchange it for a bigger pruner. That is when I was told I could NOT exchange it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Do not recommend shopping there. Customer service is not good. There are plenty of other Sthil dealers out there that appreciate your business. Definitely not Yard Stop in Ocala FL on State Route 40. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I received a text to rate them. I did and received message back saying manager would be in contact. Still haven't heard a word.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just reinforced that their customer is one of the worst out there. read more

We had some major landscaping done by The Yard Stop/Ocala in Del Webb/Stone Creek subdivision, where we had a new build. And although they were pleasant to deal with at the time, they do not honor the 6 month replacement of diseased plants. My husband called a few times and left messages with Jen, then since there was no response, we emailed the owner a couple times and again no response, so we finally just gave up and replaced the shrubs (from Lowes) ourselves. read more

We received an estimate for a small landscaping project that was extremely overpriced. Would not recommend this business.

we stopped by just to do research. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jacob, a sales rep was courteous and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] we asked a bunch of questions about different riding mowers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]he showed my wife respect by accepting her reviews about used products.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] he wasn't pushy trying to make a sale on either models, used or new. explained all our options for making the right choice on machines. we did purchase a new machine and feel confident that our purchase will satisfy our needs and that the great customer service will continue for further busines. thank you Jacob for a job well done and thank you yard stop. we are repeat customers and will continue to bring our business here as well as recommend friends and neighbors. the Sebock's read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything , they just made my dreams for my yard come true.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also made my driveway larger by adding pavers on either side and pavers on my screen room and sitting room outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I just love it thanks again Yard Stop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Needed a kawasaki oil filter for lawnmower. They had it $18.10, Amazon has for $6.73 but takes 2 days

The Yard Stop landscaped some new builds in my community. They put in Queen Palms which are not reliably hardy here. They are damaged every winter due to frosts/freezes. I went to Yard Stop nursery looking to purchase potato vine. What they had was old, with roots coming out of the pot few leaves and looked 1/2 dead. . I noted other nursery plants with problems as well. No, I do not recommend read more

We purchased a Hustler zero turn almost a year ago. We had excellent service and we love the mower. We drove 3 hours to purchase from them and was running a little late, they waited on us to get there and was happy to do so. Excellent team to deal with and they followed up with us a month ago to make sure everything was good and we haven't had any issues after our purchase a year ago. Customer oriented, we highly recommend. read more

Just wanted to give a shout out to Daniel, his crew, and Wendy at the office for bringing life to our little outdoor space where grass refused to grow and was always messy. Daniel provided the necessary plan and drawings for our association to approve the project which was rapidly accepted here in OTOW. The crew did a fantastic job and delivered right before Thanksgiving so we could have it ready for guests. Yard Stop delivers on their word and Daniel represents them well! Thank you again! read more

Stopped in yesterday as we are having fence installed & will need shrub border around, met Blake, a young man who provided so much information, and took an exceptional amount of time patiently helping us. We'd explained right off we were just seeking information based on the allowed list of shrubs from our hoa & Blake was everything you could ask for as to helpfulness, info, friendliness. We were quite impressed. read more

Nursery is beautiful and they are helpful. If they do a job for you and something goes wrong from irrigation to damaged plants or dead plant!!! Do not hold your breath they will never fix replace or treat . read more

Came into the store to schedule installation, and Jenn came out to house to spec everything out. I tried to overlook that it took two more calls after two weeks before she sent over the quote. Invested more than $3,200 to have The Yard Stop come out and install three trees, a sago palm, and some hedges. I had specified with Wendy that I would need to come in and help select the items, but on the morning of the installation, Jenn called and said they were already loading the truck! The trees looked really scrawny, the palm was tiny , and the bushes were also very small. I could have purchased the palm and bushes from Home Depot or Lowes for, literally, half the cost, and installed them myself. To add insult to injury, I found out the company won't stand behind their products or installation unless I invest in expensive irrigation (I have used lawn sprinklers to complete success at my previous house). I have to say that the Mexican laborers did the best they could with what they had, staked down the trees, and arranged the shrubs evenly. After I encouraged the foreman to get off his phone in the truck cab, he emerged and thereupon supervised well. It was fun chatting with them in Spanish and I tipped them each handsomely, as I felt somewhat concerned for them, seeing what they had to eat on each of their two siestas/meal breaks. I was disappointed mainly in the tiny sago palm, and two of my neighbors mocked it the next day! I would not have approved the loading of such an item that cost me so much. UPDATE: I was able to request a follow-up visit and Jenn did come out, said one of the trees was, in fact, failing to thrive. She said she would see what could be done. read more

I bought these planters from The Yard Stop about a year ago. Love them! Each planter flanks a column and anchors this entrance. I really want to thank Andre for a fantastic recommendation on the plantings. Andre suggested a pencil boxwood for the "thriller". Looks amazing and this tall boxwood is hearty and cold tolerant. With Andre's suggestions I choose sedum for the "spiller"and oyster plant for the "filler". Andre is very knowledgeable and patient and i high recommend Andre if you need a creative thinker. Thanks Yard Stop! Great variety always. read more

We shopped at The Yard Stop this morning. Wonderful place, helpful staff, reasonable prices, large variety of plants...pots...decor...equipment. There is something there for everyone. We bought a few flowering plants (of course) but our best purchase was...a large Agave Americana Variegated that is now proudly planted in our front yard. What an awesome plant. It was a little tricky getting it out of its temporary pot and into the ground without getting too many wounds. We did it...it looks great and we love it. read more

My wife has been breeding butterflies for over a year now and we have purchased milkweed from them before without any issues. But this past Saturday we purchased 12 Milkweed plants and after placing about 15 healthy adult caterpillars on the new plants and the next day not a leaf was eaten and they were all dying or already dead. I called Monday afternoon (2 days later) and the manager refused to take them back- and worst part I was just asking for store credit to use to get another batch when they received a new shipment because they must of been treated with pesticides. If you want true plants/vegetables not treated with pesticides you should really consider going somewhere else. read more

I bought 2 trees $98. After three weeks one was doing badly, I called them they told me use the fertilizer I bought it the same time which was $27. I did that I watered as they told me and a few weeks later both trees were starting to die. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called again they told me to don't water them everyday or every other day maybe just once a week I did that now they were really dying then I went there and I said you need to help me with these trees this is ridiculous $49 per tree and watching both of them croaking is crazy one's doing better but the other one is horrible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Okay by this stuff for $20 and spread it around the tree that's not doing well Water it every other day. Okay did that come back and let us know how it's doing I called them and asked the the gentleman I spoke to when I was there. It was his day off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll both trees have died, here's there reasoning, I didn't do something right I didn't plant them right I didn't water them right I didn't look at them right I didn't do anything right I said the trees are 3 months old they said we don't guarantee our trees if we had to guarantee everything we sold we'd be out of business. I said well maybe you should be or maybe you should be buying stuff from a reputable company because I bought three trees one survived to died. Well that's life You're out two trees and $98 plus all the bags of Tru this try this. Walmart almost anything you buy from them they give you almost a year guarantee maybe I'll go to Walmart this time because yard stop you stink read more

So many affordable plants and choices. Hope to go back soon. Everyone is so helpful. I got to pet the dogs

Bought a brand new gravely mower from yardstop used it one time found a timer didn't work send it back to have it service and it took them 4 weeks did not offer to let us use a mower while they had the mower all that time you know living in Florida grass grows fast I highly do not recommend yardstop their service is poor. read more

We just had Yard Stop do our new landscaping in our front yard, and we are very pleased with what has been done. We sat down with a professional landscape designer, went through what were the best flowers, and plants for our climate. I came in with a drawing of what we wanted it to look like, and together we made it happen. In one long day our front yard was transformed in to a beautiful landscape. We have had people from the neighborhood say to us how beautiful it is. Thank you Jenny, and crew for making it happen. read more

Nice selection of plants, trees, bushes, and yard decor. Pleasant employees. Helpful. Full line of mowers and yard machines.

I can't believe I'm giving The Yard Stop one star. We had contracted with them for a large landscaping and hard-scaping job. We loved the design process and especially the final design. We put a 33% deposit down with a May 10th start date. We have been eagerly waiting for the job to start today. We even picked items that we were told would not be a problem to get. Today no one shows up. Long story short: today they tell us they don't know when the product will be in or when the job will start. In addition, they lied to us today about communications saying they had told us it "delayed" and that they had been in communication with us all last week. They also admitted that the items we chose had "supply issues" after we put down the deposit. One simple phone call to us would have been the professional and courteous thing to do to let us know. They did refund our deposit today; but we have wasted so much time with them. read more

Update: after telling them of my review, they did not care to make anything right. It's their loss as I have seven properties and adding more that could be serviced if they did what they say they will do and not skimp on the products they use. It's because they were purchased by TruGreen in April 2021 that there's no hope for any improvement now. read more

The salesman EJ was excellent. He knew the product inside and out and was no pressure. I returned the next day and purchased the mower. It was washed , fueled and delivered (n/c ) within two hours. The delivery driver ( jeff) spent an hour with me going over oil changes and maintenance and didn't leave until I was comfortable driving it( first zero turn) . The 0% finance was a no brainer. All round a great buying experience. Thank you for the free tee-shirts too ! read more

These people are crooks! Don't ever ask them to fix anything, as they will make sure to come up with false reasons to fix something, just to collect that $$!!!!! My advice... Get second opinions and DO NOT believe these guys! read more

no good customer service/think they our doin you a favor!! over priced on everything!!

The yard stop was great! I found the mower I wanted and more, at a great price too. I ended up with a Spartan RZ Pro 54" and let me tell you, that thing will mow my 2 acre yard in 30 minutes. Amazing stuff. It's ran flawlessly. The yard stop walked me through all the details on the machine and maintenance and were very clear on how to care for it. Thanks again! read more

Recently had all my landscaping around the house re-done. From removing 45 yards of mulch to taking out old shrubs, trimming palms and replanting all new. I must say everyone was great! Daniel the designer was very helpful through the entire process as well as the team of installers. Would recommend this company to anyone trying to figure out what they need to a very elaborate design such as ours. Keep up the great job! Elizabeth F. read more

Went to the spring sale yesterday and the employees were knowledgeable and helpful. Prices were reasonable and the free lunch was a delicious bonus. Thanks Bill Anderson for all your assistance and service. This was my third trip to the Yard Stop and I've always been satisfied with my purchases. Your ceramic pots from Mexico have definitely added some color to our landscaping! We'll be back Monday for mulch! read more

I'm absolutely shocked. I came in today with a broken Stihl fs65. The man at the parts counter took one look at it and said "give me a couple minutes " He came back in ten minutes and said "here you go" I asked him how much and he said "don't worry about it " Just so you know, you now have a lifetime customer. Thank you so much. Dave Z. Dunnellon read more

They don't deserve 3 stars but I need to acknowledge the hardworking folks that came over to deliver the plants. Yard Stop as a company has gotten bigger and now lost all sense of customer service. The young lady at their front office is confrontational and has no idea what customer relations is all about. I had all the landscaping done by Yard Stop when we first moved into our new home and spent quite a bit of money. But the treatment we received before is now just a memory. Their new policy about no warranties is a gamble. If you purchase a tree and it dies in a couple of weeks, you have no recourse. I live in a retirement community, and I know a lot of folks here are just like me, a retired senior citizen. Physical limitations prevent us from several activities which includes planting which means you must depend on the vendor you are purchasing your items from. If you contact their front office to discuss an issue, their current attitude is one of confrontation and arrogance. Yard Stop has become a big company now and probably does not need further business. I for one will grant their preference and seek out other nurseries for my future needs. My neighbors saw their truck here this morning and witnessed my issues. I will make sure to share it with my other neighbors in my community. We as customers deserve better and must support businesses and/or organizations who will value our patronage. Yard Stop has stopped doing that. They don't need us any more. read more

Yard stop has a nice variety of plants and they are very well taken care of. The plants are located in the back as they sell equipment in the front. Staff was friendly and attentive. A young man offered his help and asked if we had questions to let him know. Prices were high but you get a nice quality plant. I really wanted succulents which I was surprised that they did not have since I feel they are so popular. I really wanted succulents so I left empty handed. But if you need a beautiful healthy plant this is the place. I will definitely return. read more
