    We needed to grab some seeds for my daughter's class project. It was such a gorgeous day outside that we figured we'd stop by at the nearest nursery and make a day of it. It's lovely here! So many different plants, trees, floral options, pottery, you name it. It's like a green thumb's dream. A plant warehouse if you will. We grabbed some green onion seeds as my kiddo will practice growing her own plant in her class. We were looking for okra but didn't seem to find it. The only thing that would've made this experience better is to have had a smiling face from any of the staff. We passed by numerous workers who seemed to be a bit too busy to acknowledge us. All good though, we were vibing on our own!

    Longest review of my life. Don't waste time reading it, just call Cornelius for Design AND Installation. You will pay more per plant than if you did it yourself, unless you consider the time spent finding the right plants in the size/shape/quantity/ health, and don't mind Houston traffic getting them home. "You get what you pay for." and I got plenty. My challenging yard: small, narrow, asymmetrical, with an HOA-mandated fence (cute but low, so zero privacy) and typical N. Houston compacted clay. Now, I myself am also challenging, so I wanted everything: year round color, plants that are pest and freeze resistant, aromatic. I also wanted a place for me to grow flowers for cutting, another for my dog's need to be a dog, a place for socializing less likely to annoy neighbors, and keep my Flemish Giant Rabbit safe from predators and my garden safe from him eating everything down to the roots. On my own I spent thousands and no one was happy. Ten letters from the HOA later, I admitted my artistic imitations and called Cornelius/Calloways Nursery for design services. $500 for consult. ("Hmmmm, steep." I thought... " I'll get their plan and do it myself." Yah. No.) Melissa Rothacker, Landscape Architect (equal parts artist, scientist and counselor) took copious notes before even asking to see the yard, and never made me feel like a twit for a yard covered in the 4 ft high raised beds (unsuccessful attempt at bunny proofing), my questionable design choices and the pest inviting over crowding. Rothacker's plant selections gave and design gave me more than I thought possible: a variety of natives, mostly evergreen, for year-round color; large full shrubs for privacy, all mature enough to withstand some rabbit nibbling; a discrete but lush perimeter for the dog; and the perfect spot for a fruit tree/flower garden. Dylan Cody of Cornelius Nursery (part saint, part high school principal) sourced a broad variety of plants, shrubs, trees and vines of just the right size for everything to be in balance from the start. The prices for plants and materials were fair, upfront and consistent. I was able to break up the installation into three phases for my budget: front yard, back yard, and side yard. The installation was performed by the star team assembled by Esteph Christison (owner of Kings Garden), and overseen by Calloways' super plant guru, Dylan Cody, both of whom frequently consulted with Designer Melissa Rothacker by phone. (She came in person several times to see for herself and/or listen to my concerns as the project unfolded. Having all three professionals invested in the project's success was amazing. The level of care, expertise, of these professionals, and Cornelius' replacement guarantee (I would still pay for transport and installation if something dies, but we have already had a share of Houston weather events and everything is thriving) made it a pleasure to watch the project unfold. They source the plants, shrubs and trees from nurseries far and wide, and were able to get the type and size needed to have everything grow harmoniously. Because natives were chosen, my yard is bursting with life already: bees, birds, and tons of beneficial insects, so I don't have to treat the yard with pest control. (serious issues with white flies for two years... Now? Zilch. ) The installation crew all the did the heavy lifting (and digging) with good cheer and care for my pets and property. They also really know plants. No shortcuts were taken. Irrigation system corrected adjusted for plants' needs. Land regraded, and all plants were put in place with tailored soil conditioners, and amendments in the ideal location for sun exposure and air circulation. I could have saved time, heartache, and money if I had just called Cornelius/Calloways first, but when I did, I got an absolute dream team So, no regrets - Just me sippin' tea, with my happy dog and rabbit in my gorgeous Texas cottage garden!! BTW: Did you know HOA letters are compostable?

    Free water! Especially needed on hot  days.

    It's always a pleasure coming here, especially when I have a coupon from Calloway email. The flowers and plants are priced fairly. I'm always provided with excellent service.

    Love the plants that Jeff helped me pick out for our business! Thank you so much. I've had shoulder surgery so I had to ask for some help and everyone was willing to help for the most part. The lady that rang me out was friendly she was new but she kept directing me to Jeff who was able to answer my questions. They have a huge selection of quality plants and pots. Definitely more expensive than Walmart but I hope that the quality of the plants will be worth it!

    Flowers for Days!!!

    This is my go to on finding knowledgeable staff and anything I need for my Landscaping! Cliff runs a top-notch business! From fertilizer, herbs, flowers you name it! I'm definitely going to have to bring the Hubby back to take a look at those metal flying Ducks!!! If you haven't been to Callaways in a while, may a return visit! You won't be disappointed! Tell Cliff, Carmen send you! oxo

    Great shopping experience here today! Great selection and minimal crowd, presumably the rain scared off the other gardeners! Whatever it was I will take it because for a Saturday, they were slow and I got in and out quickly with a great selection and great service! If you are looking for a great nursery with knowledgeable and friendly staff, I cannot recommend Calloway's enough! Be sure to join their gardening club because they send you specials via email that make your gardening more affordable!

    Great potted arrangement!

    I was looking for potted plants as a gift. After checking out some chain stores, I called Calloway's and they had about 15 different items and said they typically keep giftable potted plants all the time. The selection was really nice, I think some might have been for Valentine's Day. The prices were reasonable, around $30-60 for a potted plant garden. Great value and well-made. Definitely lasted longer than ones from the florist. I also needed a stick and paper due to it being a gift, and they had it available and were so helpful. I will definitely come back to buy my next plant and I recommend you stop by for any of your plant needs!

    Your recollection of our conversation the day you provided the estimate left off a very important…read moredetail. You came out in early spring, to provide an estimate, when the sun rises further to the south (this area was shaded at that time) but as we get further into the summer the sun is further North (it's in full sun now). We talked about this! Being the professional landscaper, you should know how the seasons affect the sun/shade in planting areas with fences and structure nearby. In stead of making good on your mistake, you wanted to sell us other plants which we declined because we already paid you to landscape this area. You recommended what plants to plant! The repairs made on the pavers and underground drain is ugly. The pavers have a noticeable dip in them because you reset a small section rather than fixing it correctly. All the pavers should have been reset to slope away from the covered patio. After resetting the pavers, you did not fill in the spaces between the pavers. You would know this if you ever inspected your crews work but you've never been back since providing the estimate. You would have also seen the damage they did to our new gutters. And by the way, we are very pleased with the work our contractor did on our outdoor living space.

There are also some really cute decorations for you yard or patio area, like this adorable Groot planter and some colorful cacti that would make a great addition to any outdoor space. There was not as big of a selection of herbs as I would have liked but they have a house plant area that has some beautiful variations of begonias, pothos, and so many other variety of plants. If you are in the Richardson area you must certainly pop in and see what you can find to add life and color to your home.

On 7/4/26, a staff member was sitting in the cooler handing out water bottles -- 1-2 each -- to select customers, but skipped over us entirely.

My 80-year-old mother mentioned it was hot, and the employee replied, "Is it that hot since you're out?" -- dismissive, especially right after handing out water to other customers and not us. It felt like the staff cater to a certain type of customer, and we didn't fit that mold. Very disappointing and disheartening after being loyal customers for so long especially on July 4th.

They have an amazing selection of plants and all of their plants are very healthy and ready for their new homes! Even their half-price greenhouse plants looked great! Their prices were comparable to other local nurseries but selection and service is what Covington's rocks on. I was asked everytime I went to a new section if I needed any assistance.
