As the owners of a newer local lawn maintenance and landscaping business serving the Bayville and…read moreForked River area, we were disappointed by our experience at Hammett's Landscaping & Garden Center yesterday. We visited the garden center to purchase trees, shrubs, and flowers for a customer project and, during checkout, asked whether they offered a contractor discount. We were then asked to provide proof that we owned a landscaping business. While my husband was wearing a company shirt, we were asked whether we had a business credit card, business paperwork, or company branding on our truck. We explained that we do have a business credit card, but do not carry our business registration paperwork in our vehicle. We also explained that while our daily-driver truck is not wrapped, our business trailer is fully branded and was on the job site. The employee then commented that my husband could have borrowed someone else's shirt and credit card and stated that "everyone wants to be a landscaper." She insisted that a vehicle with business logos on the side was required and concluded the conversation by patting me on the arm and saying, "Next time bring your paperwork and we'll give you the discount." We completely understand a business needing to verify contractor status before offering discounted pricing. However, there is a respectful and professional way to do so. The implication that we were being dishonest in an attempt to save money was both unnecessary and insulting. As a local small business, we make every effort to support other local businesses whenever possible. We had hoped to establish a long-term relationship with Hammett's for future landscaping projects, but this interaction left us feeling unwelcome and undervalued. As a result, we will be sourcing materials for our upcoming projects from other local garden centers. Hammett's has a beautiful selection of products and clearly possesses extensive horticultural knowledge. Unfortunately, customer service and professionalism are equally important parts of the customer experience, and in this case, those qualities were lacking. If contractor verification is required, that's understandable. But customers should be treated with courtesy and respect throughout the process.

We've been loyal customers even though their prices are high, the selection is very good.

Went in there (after spending hundreds on mulch last week) and was snapped at that they don't guarantee anything. Very nasty about it. Good customer service would have been to at least offer 50% back towards a replacement. Nope. Hammett may know plants but they don't know anything about customer service. Buyer beware!

Farming is brutally hard work -- and unless you love your work -- the results will underwhelm…read more Here at Anvil Farms, the farmer and his wife are the real deal - love what they do -- devoting 100% of their energies to growing some beautiful flowers and flavorful veggies for the past 30+ years. The manicured grounds are off the beaten path -- down the road from Bamber Lake. You almost have to know they are tucked away off the main road to find them. I visited while on a bike ride in the area -- going slow enough I guess to spot the modest signage on the highway. At 50mph I would have missed it. In about a month the first greens of the season (escarole and romaine) will be on sale -- followed by all the usual south Jersey suspects -- like garlic and tomatoes and eggplant and potatoes. The farm also carries local apples and other fruit in season -- grown elsewhere. Don't miss this real deal. The farmer will show you around and happily explain how he runs his operation -- from fertilizer -- to seed -- to harvest. I cannot get enough of real Americana. Nice to accidentally find examples of the micro industry that first built this country -- like Anvil Farms -- and admire tradition. Makes my day.

Owner was so great! He had a super assortment of summer and early fall veggies and the MOST…read moreOUTRAGEOUS CANTALOUPE I'VE EVER HAD! He recommended stuffing with vanilla ice cream!! What a treat!!
