I've been ambivalent about BJs for some time. They don't seem to have much product inventory--very little on-site but they do work with Ronnies down in Smyrna. Are also not very dependable, they don't always show when they say they will.
The worst thing was what happened this morning: their crew showed up and "trimmed" everything. They chopped off all the just-about-to-bloom buds on the Peonies. (Why??!!) They really ruined our Butterfly and Beautiberry Bushes which had been beautiful and nicely shaped. They chopped off all the new growth on the hydrangeas (the kind that only bloom on new growth!). Incidentally, I had just pruned those hydrangeas the week before--it took me several hours as I was pruning them with cuts to make them grow in specific directions. And to add insult to injury, they chopped back and flat topped five brand new Azaleas (only 10 gallon size) that THEY had just planted for us four days prior. When we went running out to the garden to tell them to stop trimming, they left! They left everything where it was for us to rake and clean up!! The pulled out of the driveway and in the process left the grass all torn up on the left side. I just don't know what to say. We are sick. I think management here is competent, but they do not hire crews that know nada. If you want to see pictures of the damage, I can provide them. read more
