We even found something better than we had envisioned. I don't think I realized how expensive boxwoods are, or maybe it's because we bought them here. If you aren't concerned about price, want variety and high-quality, definitely give them a visit. Friendly cashier who informed us the shrubs we were buying came with a 1 yr. warranty. We also joined their Garden Club (free to join), which gave us an extended warranty on the plants. Yay! Lots of wonderful things to look at, so plan to stay a while. We'll be back in a few weeks for vegetable plants. Recommend.

Months ago I received an Earl May gift card. A few weeks before Christmas I decided to stop in here…read moreand use the gift card on some holiday plants. Specifically, poinsettias. The two poinsettias I chose didn't have foil wrappers on them, they were just in the black grow pots. I asked the salesperson working if they had any extra foil wrappers, and he explained that their supplier didn't send them with the plants (or ran out, I can't remember which). This was kind of disappointing. I thought for sure Earl May would have a back stock of these cheap foil wrappers, but there wasn't any attempt made to go beyond the explanation I was given or even recommend what I might use in their place. I wasn't going to buy pots. I didn't press the issue because these were for myself. Had I been buying them for others as gifts, I would have put them back, or asked that a wrapper be taken off of another plant. Not sure why I didn't ask about this in the first place, other than it seemed like I would have been inconveniencing this employee. Since I had the gift card and a coupon, I went ahead and left with the ones I had chosen. Their overall selection was pretty skimpy at the time I was there. poinsettias were just on one display near the cash register area. My poinsettias are still alive, though I wouldn't say thriving. Nice, clean store. Nice items for sale. Customer services was fine, but not extraordinary. Few customers and enough employees that I expected better. For selection I recommend Iowa City Landscaping and Garden Center or make the drive to Pierson's in Cedar Rapids.

I purchased 2 pink dogwoods and followed all of the planting, watering, and soil treatment guidelines per the staff and plant library recommendations. First tree did not make it through the winter. The replacement did not even make it 3 months despite doing everything staff recommended. ' To my dismay, the company will not replace a tree a 2nd time, so I am out over $250.00. For that reason, in spite of the helpful staff, I am taking my business to local greenhouses (whose prices are typically much more consumer friendly).

I purchased the new trees and planting services, plus an extended guarantee for two new trees from Sanders Creek, in case they did not survive the Winter. The new trees were planted just as Marm had described the plant procedure before I actually purchased them. I had them planted in middle of September, then I watered them as they recommended. Now this year the both trees are very healthy and doing great! I am very satisfied with my new trees and Rose of Sharon bush, too. Their prices were very competitive with other Iowa City Landscape companies! I would recommend this company based on their straight forward and honest way of doing business.

Rude, unprofessional, and completely lacking compassion…read more I reached out to Liberty Lawn & Home Care to ask about mowing services for my elderly parents in North Liberty. I'm currently arranging care from out of town and trying to line up reliable help during a very stressful season of life. We have our own zero-turn mower, so I simply asked (as I've done with other local companies) what the rate would be if they used our equipment versus theirs -- a totally standard question when collecting bids. The owner replied with this: "You wouldn't ask a steakhouse to cook a steak you brought in would you? Respectfully please move on to the next company." I was stunned. It was rude, dismissive, and completely unnecessary. I wasn't demanding anything -- just asking for clarity while trying to take care of my aging parents and lighten the load on their end. Instead of offering even a basic explanation, PJ chose to belittle me with sarcasm and send me on my way. If you value kindness, professionalism, and basic human decency -- especially during tough seasons of life -- I recommend hiring someone else. This company made an already hard situation feel even harder.
