Terrible nursery with terrible customer service they can’t take accountability for anything. You pay a high price for their mulch and their mulch is not worth it nor a high quality.

Description of Work: We received excellent guidance in plant selection and planting instructions for a specimen tree. We also purchased a flat of myrtle. Again, the quality of the myrtle was better than typical - no weeds, healthy plants. This is why we are repeat customers.

Description of Work: We actually went over to look at their selection of trees to replace one that had been struck by lightening years ago. They listened to what we wanted in a tree and then took us into the field and gave us their opinion on what would work and showed us the tree in different stages of growth. Very informative and professional. We opted, as we are diy'ers to pick up the tree and plant it yourself. It is doing great and we couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience! We would definitely buy from them again!

We had used Root's previously when we bought three small redbud trees from them. The trees were and continue to be very healthy. This company is excellent and has a long history of knowledge about trees, shrubbery and plants. HIGHLY recommend them!!

We bought the tree in late summer, still in the ground. We weren't sure what we wanted exactly. The person took us around the various trees that met our one condition. We lost a Maple to blight so they looked up trees that were immune to it. They took their time and we found one we liked out in the tree farm. We paid a deposit and they told us it would be around Thanksgiving it would be dug and brought to our house. They showed up with 6 inches of snow in our front yard and planted the tree the week before Thanksgiving. Really nice and great service. Tree looks healthy and appears to be budding out. I'd use them again.
Description of Work: Delivered and installed tree in front yard.

Description of Work: For years, I've purchased trees and shrubs from Root's. The company also regularly handles my pruning. The quality of the products and services has always been superb. Representatives are highly knowledgeable and artistic, as well as exceptionally considerate and conscientious; in short, they're professional in every way. The nursery is large with an excellent selection, particularly of trees. Moreover, Root's is true to its excellent guarantees and takes pride in its work. When one of the shrubs the company planted looked peaked to me at the end of a year, the company replaced it without hesitation. Depending upon where the customer lives, the prices for delivery and planting can be higher, but I've never regretted paying a little more. This is a family owned business that treats its customers like friends.

It's a well known company in our area. They did a good job. They couldn't have done it any better. They did a nice joh. We looked at another nursery and the price is very comparable. When you look at a tree, you pay twice the price of planting it. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Root's Nurseries Incorporated planted a tree for us one and a half years ago.. It was a very large tree, actually. They delivered and planted the tree.

Overall, they were very good. My house is about 20 plus years old, and some of the existing landscaping needed to go. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.
