"My dad, who lives adjacent to us, was helping haul sand for our pool. He called Pitchfork (yesterday) to find out the price. He was quoted $31 for limestone sand. We get there and ask for creek bed sand instead. He puts three scoops in the bed of my dad’s truck and one scoop in my trailer. All is well. I go into pay and he charges me $175. I told him we were quoted $31 a scoop. He said creek sand is more expensive - twice the price - and waves it away saying Biden is in office, so things are more expensive. I was annoyed, but paid because I didn’t clarify the price of the creek sand before he scooped it in, which is on me. As he’s processing my card, he looks at me and says, sharply, I told him that on the phone yesterday. Not liking his change is demeanor toward me (I’m the one paying $175 when I expected $90), I go get my dad, confident my dad would have mentioned it being twice the price had he known. When confronted with the discrepancy, the owner immediately starts *yelling* at both of us, saying we’re accusing him of cheating (we didn’t) and telling him how to run his business (again, didn’t) and he can’t give us that price for creek sand. When there was a lull in his rant, I told the owner that my issue is that he looked at me when my dad was outside and said he (owner) had told my dad the price for creek sand on the phone, but that it was untrue. He then started yelling louder and said he would give me my money back and took the ticket out of my hand. Shaking, I said, fine. Then, resuming his rant again, threw the ticket down and said, “No, never mind! You people always want something for nothing and don’t tell me how to run my business.” Angry and a bit shocked, I told him I wasn’t asking for a refund, but an acknowledgment that he was not honest about his communication on the price with my dad, which he refused to give. Once my dad was present, he steered away from the merit of my dad’s statement and instead, focused on attacking our character as wanting things for free that he has already paid for (again, I never asked for a refund - he’s the one who brought that up). Then, even more appalling, he told us he we doesn’t want our drama (??) and to get out and he would not do business with us. As we’re walking away, he yells that he never wanted to see us again (!?!?). Uhm, no problem there. We said nothing in return. He has his $175. I have (overpriced) sand. He was rude, belligerent, unreasonable, dishonest and frankly, a little unhinged. My reason for the review is not to dispute what he charged, rather, to forewarn people of his behavior should they choose to do business with him. He seems very nice, until…and the switch flips very quickly. Yikes."

Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.
Garden nurseries offer many plants to make your home and garden flourish. In-container plants are one option, including perennials, annuals, and small shrubs or trees. Large hedge plants and roses are called bare-root plants, meaning they have not been potted. Finally, you will see some burlapped plants, typically larger trees and shrubs with burlap wrapping around the bottom.
The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.
If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:
Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season.
Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring.
Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.
Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location
Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
