Baumley Nursery, Landscaping and Garden Center is more than a place to buy plants--it is a…read moredestination for anyone who loves gardens. Unlike most garden centers, Baumley uses its plants to create beautiful, garden-like displays throughout the property, making a simple walk through the nursery a pleasure in itself.
The selection is remarkable. The variety of trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and specialty plants surpasses that of any other nursery I have visited. The plants are uniformly healthy, vigorous, and of exceptional quality.
The staff is first-rate: knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely eager to help. Jeff, the owner, exemplifies everything that makes Baumley special. He is remarkably approachable and generous with his time, but what truly sets him apart is his extraordinary knowledge of horticulture, landscape design, plant selection, site conditions, and garden composition.
Jeff recently completed a landscaping project at my home, and the results are stunning. He seamlessly united a more formal area of my property with a neighboring naturalistic space, creating a transition so natural that the two areas appear to have always belonged together.
The installation was carried out by Brian and his crew, who are among the finest landscapers I have worked with--and I have had several homes landscaped over the years. Brian was not only highly skilled, but also patient, flexible, attentive, and receptive to my ideas throughout the process. Within a day of the project's completion, neighbors were stopping to comment on how beautiful the yard looked.
What impresses me most, however, is Jeff's commitment to quality and personal service. The day after the project was completed, he returned to ensure that everything had been executed exactly as planned. And it had been. While looking over the landscaped area, he noticed that a pop-up drain installed years earlier by another landscaper was improperly positioned, preventing it from functioning efficiently. Despite the rain, he rolled up the sleeves of his jacket and cleared the accumulated mud and debris, restoring proper drainage until his crew could return to relocate the outlet and correct the problem permanently.
That small act captured what sets Jeff apart. He noticed a problem that had nothing to do with his own work, took the time to address it himself, and ensured that a permanent solution would follow.
I recommend Baumley Nursery without reservation. It is a truly outstanding business, distinguished not only by the quality of its plants and workmanship, but by a level of professionalism and personal commitment that is increasingly rare.
