PLANTSMEN NURSERY

Landscaping, Pavers and Hardscaping, Greenhouses/Nurseries,

About us

The Plantsmen Nursery grows most of our own nursery stock, and we offer environmentally friendly landscape services. Our landscapes are designed to be low-impact going in, low-maintenance after installation, naturally appropriate, self-sustaining and beautiful. We run two landscape crews and sometimes three, with one crew focusing on natural stone work. We also install all types of pavers but we prefer to work with natural stone when possible. We pride ourselves on good customer service and a level of horticultural knowledge uncommon in an industry often dominated by heavy equipment. Our nursery staff knows all the plants we grow and sell and you can always count on getting healthy, big plants that are well-suited for where we live.

Not able to respond to this since we never heard back from them.
Description of Work: I put in a query via Angie's List a week ago for an estimate, but have not heard back. We live in Caton, south of Ithaca, so maybe we are out of their service area? Not sure. Would be nice to at least get some kind of response.

Plantsmen has very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They are very helpful and their merchandise is well priced. We asked for help with consulting also, but Plantsmen does not perform consulting as a standalone service. But they provided a referral and we were able to get that service through their referral.
Description of Work: Assisted with plant selection for a property boundary.

I will go with them. They seemed to know what they were doing. It was a very positive experience. They quoted $4000 for the work. They knew what plants would grow in my area and my soils. They work with a lot of made of plants. They haven't come back with the quote for the second area. I am hoping to hear from them soon. The estimate is high, but I know they are good.
Description of Work: Plantsmen Nursery gave me an estimate to put shrubs along the sideway & driveway.

First the owner came over and looked at our whole yard. Together we developed a plan in 3 stages. The first stage was the front yard. The nursery provided plants that do well in our area and also that were deer resistant. They installed several bushes, 2 of which were quite large. They removed the sod near a birch tree to create a new bed. Mulching of all plants was included. Two workers came on a holiday to complete the work.

The landscaping in front was completely redesigned, The old plants and bushes were removed and new plants installing in fall 2011. It is too early now in summer 2012 to see the full effect of the new planting, but so far the plants look healthy and are ignored by the deer as promised. The landscape designer made a few mistakes regarding some of the plants when she wrote up the order. I fortunately caught them in time. It is a good idea to check all details of the order.
Description of Work: Foundation planting in front of the house. Replanting/ winterizing of another area in back of the house
