I contacted Grove Gardens via email to give them a chance to make it right but never heard back. I order my mom flowers twice a year and they just lost my business. Also I am one of 4 sisters that live all over the country. Grove Gardens lost the business of our entire family of 6. All it would have taken was an email reply to me and a delivery of additional purple flowers to my mom and they would have kept our business. Too bad. I guess I'll try Big Y next time. Their loss

Customer service is severely lacking…read more When I finally found a staff member, I asked about finding a vegetable plant I wanted. She had no idea and called for back up. The other staff member came over so that the three of us where all about 5 feet apart. The original staff member explained that I was looking for a plant and the new staff member did not acknowledge me and told the other staff member that the plants were sold out and "she should've planted those plants in the ground already; they won't even take now" in a scolding tone (yes, she was aware it was me looking to buy). She was offensive, she wouldn't look at me or speak to me - the paying customer, and I stood there mouth agape. She didn't care or notice because she never looked at me, of course, and just walked off. After a moment of processing the intense dismissive snobbery, I walked away from the rest of my cart and left. (Please note: I work two jobs and managed to buy the plant elsewhere and had a wonderful harvest despite the timing not being ideal. - Also, I heard later that the rude staff member was related to the owners, but cannot verify). Another time before the one above, I had gone to grab some plants and asked the staff member at checkout about a specific type of bush. She had no idea and wanted to radio in to someone else working that section. It was taking him a bit to respond, so while waiting, I said, "no worries, I'll come back another time, I don't have the time now." She ignored me and kept radio-ing, I said, "really, now is not good. No need to call him." And she continued to ignore me and call on the radio - while not ringing me up. In the end I said, "you know what, I don't need any of these items" and she finally faced me saying "Oh, are you sure? Ok. Have a great day." Just - what?!?! Most staff do not know about the plants or care, they just work there, so a heads up if you're looking for that highly knowledgable service. Driving in/out and parking is a nightmare unless it is empty. Scratching your car to fit two cars on the road is almost inevitable. The energy here is all weird. They are always frantic on the radios as if they are all always annoyed at each other or annoyed to have to do their job, the majority of staff members I have met don't respect their customers (they seem to avoid them), and it is a very cramped shopping experience. While yes, this place is overpriced, I'm happy to pay a little extra for a local business and not a big box store. That said, this isn't a little extra and they don't treat their customers well at all. We all arrive at garden centers smiling and excited for the warmer weather, it is odd to have such poor treatment when the buy in is there from the start. That points to leadership, but who knows. No longer a place I frequent or recommend, but still might go in a pinch with very low expectations.

I found Lawn Monkey online and they had many high ratings. Jeff was timely, friendly, and professional, came each time when he said he would. Now as far as the lawn goes, they did a great job cleaning up all the leaves scattered about, cut down part of an overgrown tree and moved the large logs, weeded my front and backyard near the house, trimmed the bushes in front so they look less ridiculous, and cleared everything out by our tree line. It looks SO much better now. I'm very happy with the job they did and would definitely recommend them to my friends in the area or on the shoreline.

I recently bought several yards of "lawn-ready" soil to establish a lawn. The service was great…read morefrom purchase through delivery, and the soil looked good when it arrived. As I spread the soil, I removed as many twigs as I could, but I didn't realize many of them were actually roots from invasive plants. As the grass is starting to sprout, so are many bindweed and common mugwort plants. I'm trying to remove the entire root system as the weeds sprout, but many roots are buried deep in the soil and remain behind. At this point, I may have to destroy much of the new lawn to fully eliminate these invasive weeds. Very disappointing, and now I'm concerned this could turn into a long-term project. I'm not sure what Madison Earth Care could have done to prevent this, but it's something to be aware of if you plan to use this soil in your yard.
