Watkins Nurseries

We had the pleasure of working with Watkins Nurseries for our outdoor living space renovation and could not be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the final completion, Watkins Nurseries was professional and knowledgeable. They were able to take our vision and turn it into reality, transforming our yard into a beautiful outdoor living space. The attention to detail was outstanding and the quality of their work was top notch. We were also impressed with the customer service, as they were always available to answer any questions we had. Overall, we are very pleased with the work Watkins Nurseries did and highly recommend them.

Poor communication & business practices: Ordered patio stone from Watkins and ultimately ended up with too much material. Attempted returning and was hit with restocking fees that were never mentioned or listed on their estimates or invoices. Material was picked up and I didn't receive a credit for over 6 weeks.. Ultimately disputed with credit card company. Watkins then called me asking me to pay a $50 fee for disputing the charge with my credit card company.

They did excellent work and I highly recommend them. I will continue to use them.

I can't comment... They never took the time to get back to me.

Since completing the project in December of 2010, the Crape Myrtle that was planted died and was replaced by Watkins in the spring of 2011. Last year, 2013,, we replaced the five Indian Hawthornes that were planted with five Green Gem Boxwoods, because the Indian Hawthornes looked so bad. (I brought this to their attention on November 14, 2011, but nothing was done even though they were still under the one year warranty.) Out of the eight Hostas that were planted, only two have matured and look good. The Liriope, the three Needlepoint Hollies, and the sod have done well. Considering we paid slightly over $3,000.00 to Watkins Nurseries, we are very disappointed. When you invest money in a landscape project you expect all the plants to mature and look nice for many years. The failure of so many plants is not due to anything that we did. We have a sprinkler system and maintain all of our plants. Our back, front (close to the house), and side yards are evidence of the care and attention that we give our plants. For this reason, I would not recommend Watkins Nurseries for your landscaping needs.

They were good. They did a good job. They were efficient and they came out promptly. The price was good.

Worked with them to define and redefine plan. Very professional, good communication, very responsive. Not super low price but fair price.

Everything went well. I was very pleased with their services and I am very picky.

They have been around for a really long time and are great. They have a good reputation and one of the men who own it is a state senator of Virginia in the general assembly. They are little more expensive than some of the companies which are trying to break into the business but because of the longevity in the area it is competitive. They are responsive because of the way they advertise on the radio. They were punctual and professional when I was using them. I would use them again in the future.

I think they are great. We have used them for many years.

Watkins did a very good job on my yard. I really like the way they came out as scheduled and there was never any hold ups. They guys really knew what they were doing and did it quickly. They are kind of high priced, but the work that was done is well worth it.

We've used Watkins several times. It only took a few hours to plant these azaleas and we're quite pleased with their work. They also added mulch and planted them in a nice arrangement. We like the overall effect.
