Great experience at the Warwick Ave Garden Center! Joe D. was extremely helpful and knowledgeable (you can tell his horticulture background really makes a difference). As first-time homeowners, we had no idea what to plant, especially with the colder April/May weather. Joe walked us through everything and made the process feel easy and not so overwhelming. We feel so much more confident now. We're grateful for his help and will definitely be back. Bonus: they have an adorable kids' playhouse with garden tools and chalkboard walls that kept our twin 4-year-olds entertained the entire time (over an hour!). That made such a difference. Thank you Joe! read more

Stay away!! horrible company. I hired them for landscaping project and sprinkler installation. First, they planted over 50 trees and plants in the middle of a heatwave BEFORE the sprinkler system was installed! (also they planted evergreen trees in wrong place and had to dig them up and place in appropriate areas) I spent an entire weekend at walmart buying all the hoses they had trying to keep the newly planted trees and shrubs watered!!!! I lost two evergreen trees and several shrubs. The sprinkler system wasn't installed until 5 days following planting. THEN, the sprinkler system banged constantly with water spewing everwhere at the connection. To this day it continues to bang and I had to hire a sprinkler install professional to fix the total MESS these morons created. Oh, also I was told to go to Yardworks and pick out new trees to replace the ones loss due to their stupidity... which I did. Guess what? they never replaced the dead trees or even contacted me back after several calls. STAY AWAY!! They are completely incompetent!! I just don't want anyone to go the same nightmare.

After 6 phone calls for which I received no response, I produced phone log to prove I had called YARDWORKS to set up my FREE winterizing that failed to be done and resulted in a cracked pipe. TODAY my issues were resolved, the system appears to be running well, and I am satisfied with the service. read more

I hired this company to rip out my lawn, install sprinklers and hydroseeding, it took them five weeks to complete a four day job. Every time I called to find out when they were coming out, it took forever for them to get back to me with an answer. Never called to schedule stopping by for any part of the job. Very poor customer service. read more

I would give negative stars to this business if I could. unresponsiv, bad service NO follow up after repeated attempts to rectify DEAD shrubs. RUN as fast as you can from this business read more

I wanted to send any of my landscape related needs to a local family owned business so I turned to Yard Works. What a big mistake! I ordered some plantings from them, which they did plant. They included rhododendrons and arborvitae. All of the rhododendrons have since died (they were yellow the day they were planted) and one of the arborvitae died, was replaced with a sad looking specimen and that one is now in the process of dying. Joe Fox said he would replace it one more time but then said he would not do that. He refused to replace any of the rhododendrons. Once the work was initially completed he was not shy about asking to be paid immediately (red flag). I would have preferred 30 days to pay to see how the plants were doing first. They did install a brick sidewalk for me and did a great job but plant-wise, forget them. Joe was the worst when it came to communication and customer service is non-existent. I had to e-mail him many times before he got back to me. I recommend Central Nurseries, located in Johnston. My company has been using Central's services for years and have absolutely no complaints. read more

I will not recommended this company. The end work is acceptable, but the customer relationship and communication is terrible. There is no action plan, you'll have no idea of when anyone will come to work and no one maintains an oversight of the progress. No one is very concerned about the correctness of the work. The biggest concern has been when they are paid and payments aren't appreciated. As far as the project, you'll get what they feel you'll like without showing any product or design. I gave one star as my project was eventually completed and it looks nice, but not without my persistence and attention to detail. I always felt my project(and huge expense) wasn't very important and NO customer should EVER feel as such. read more

David is excellent - extremely knowledgeable, helpful... Quality assortment and healthy plants. read more

Two appointments scheduled within 2 weeks and no show each time. Even called and confirmed appointment same day. Unreliable at best - not worth the potential cost; wish I could get the missed time from work back the "no shows" caused me. read more

Joe the owner is not reliable! His word means nothing. The only thing this company specializes in is not keeping their word.......Save yourself your time and your money and go elsewhere......... read more

Kevin Fox was pretty rude overall. I got cheaper plants (different species) than what I asked for and there was no overall wanting to make me happy after I sent 20K on both the front and back yard. Horrible customer service. read more

Horrible customer service! Was there twice this week. First time there was not one person outside to offer assistance. Not many prices are listed, there are no signs with prices, when we had to go inside to ask, answers seemed wishy washy. Went today for the cash only "sale", had cash on hand. The man outside watering basically ignored us. The place is a mess, dying plants, no signs, all sorts of random things laying around such as an unused planter with another plastic planter and sitting water, metal garden edging, etc. There are too many other garden shops in the area with better care and customer service to spend my money there. After being treated rudely last year, I swore wouldn't go back and this sealed the deal. read more

two no shows for estimates without a call from the estimator. Receptionist is nice, though.

This is service.... Today, I called Yard Works at 8:40 am with a very small hope of trying to send flowers to my sister for her birthday by noon. Very helpful and patient guy (I believe David) talked with me for about 10 minutes and assured me that they will do it on time. I ordered a dozen roses and hoped for the best. AT 10:55 am I received a text from my sister thanking me for the surprise. I couldn't be more happy and thankful. Side note: $39 for a dozen roses and $10 for delivery is a very reasonable price. And a prompt delivery is priceless. Thank you read more

I called and asked if they could do a small job and pour a 11x6' piece of concrete - they insisted on sending someone out to see the space. The man that came out tried to push all kinds of extras and add-ons (fire pit, sitting wall, walkway etc) which we politely told him we did not want. He finally quoted us on what we actually wanted and we said we would let him know. We called back the next day to schedule and the secretary said she would pass the message along. A week went by and we never heard back, I called again and again the secretary said she would pass the message along and we never heard back. It ended up being a waste of our time when we could have been scheduling someone else to do the job who wanted the work. At the very least they could have called back to just say they did not want the job. read more

Went to their location for the 50% OFF 4th of July SALE on plants. Plants were OK but 50% OFF was only annuals and "oh by the way", cash only today and sale was only until noon Now I remember why I haven't been there in a number of years read more

great customer service! The job was completed ahead of time, the crew was very efficient and hard-working, and they were very reasonably priced as far as landscaping goes. Best experience I've had with landscaping company. read more

The walkway installed by Yardworks has a cracked in several places. I have left message for months - both in the office and on work cell phones. NOT ONE CALL BACK from Mike or Kevin. (The receptionist is very polite and professional.) read more

Horrible customer service, don't call back, left me with a mess to fix, would not recommend them at all

Our experience was that there was a complete lack of organization or communication between one manager to another and also down to each crew. They consistently had to do things over 2 or 3 times because they didn't follow the plan. They also tried to dump what they had in inventory on you when you asked for other materials or plants and trees. Very disorganized and a real disappointment. read more
