Description of Work: I had just moved into this house and my grass started turning yellow. I checked out the internet to see what the issues was and this fungus kept coming up called Talk-All patch. I had a couple of companies come out to look at the lawn. One just wanted me to get on their program, but couldn't tell me the issue. The other company told me the lawn was low on iron. I put iron on, but no improvement actually more of the grass turned yellow. I visited The Natural Gardener to ask about an issue with my yard why the grass was turning yellow. They asked me to bring in a patch of my grass with soil, as soon as they looked at the patch they informed me I had Take-All Patch, they even looked under a microscope. They also brought someone else over to look for a second opinion and without sharing their thoughts they also said I had Take-All. They took the time to explain how to get rid of this fungus with different solution and provided recommendation on the solutions. They also took the time and shared with me a yearly maintenance plan for my yard. I would highly recommend them and if I have any other issues they will be the first place I go.

It is a really good place. They help us pick stuff. They offer a really amazing customer service because they will answer questions and show me things and have a really good selection. Each item is differently priced and so I would say that a few hundred dollars is probably what we spend there.
Description of Work: I go to The Natural Gardener for picking up different things for our yard that will work well in different areas depending upon sun or shade.

I found them through a local radio show. I've been using them for 6 or 7 years. They help with plant selections, identify any lawn or plant issues, and give guidance relative to plant design.
Description of Work: It's a garden center.

That place is phenomenal. They are extremely helpful. They sell plants, shrubs, trees, lime, cactus and mulch. It is a big garden place. They provide a lot of information about the top grade plants they sell like how tall it will grow, how much of sunshine it needs, how much of shade it needs etc. They have their own gardens where we can see what the plant is like instead of having to imagine things after reading the labels. It is a fantastic place to go to. They have animals and burrows out there. They have a kind of serenity garden. Even if one is not going to buy anything, it is a wonderful place to go. They have a big field with swing and some chairs. It is good to take a walk in this place. It is very peaceful and very nice. It is an extraordinary place. I believe Mr.John Dromgoole is the owner of this place. He is very knowledgeable and so is the staff that works there. He has a programme every Saturday and Sunday morning. We can call him and ask him all kinds of questions. It is an Austin company and as far as I know there are no other natural gardens anywhere in Austin. I am planting vegetable plants and I got what I wanted there. I have used them many times and will continue to use them. That is the place to go if one is interested in gardening.
Description of Work: The Natural Gardener is a big garden where they sell a good variety of plants. I was there on Saturday.

The staff was extremely helpful. We were clueless as to which soil and how much to get. The manager walked us through, asking us exactly what were trying to accomplish and how big the yard is. She is highly knowledgeable about Central Texas planting and gave us great advice. She even told me which soil would save me a step because I could lay on top of the old soil and not bother with tilling it in. After we paid for our soil, we lined up for the front loaders and were on our way. Putting the topsoil in the yard was a breeze. You could tell it was of great quality because it looked very dark and rich compared to our old compacted soil and clay. It also had a great earthy smell. We put the grass sod down, and two weeks later it seems to be growing very well. It seems silly to pay so much for dirt, but it was well worth it.
Description of Work: They provided topsoil for DIY grass sod installation.

THE SALESPERSON WAS VERY HELPFUL IN FIGURING OUT HOW MUCH SOIL AND GRANITE TO ORDER. SHE ALSO MADE SUGGESTIONS FOR ME TO SAVE MONEY. THEIR DELIVERY TIME WAS PRECISE.
