Walking into Tom's Thumb by Cornelius Nursery feels like stepping into a lush, peaceful forest…read more Tom's has been around on the Island for decades. If you love plants this is the kind of place where you could get happily lost for a while. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, which made my visit even more enjoyable. I found a beautiful Golden Pathos that felt like it had been waiting just for me. Bringing home new plants is one of my favorite ways to spark joy in my home. For the size of the plant the cost was reasonable. I'll definitely buy from them again. Aside from all the greenery, they also have a huge selection of pots, soil, planters, and outdoor figurines that would bring your garden space to life.

It's the kind of place that makes plant shopping fun. Colorful plants everywhere you turn, from tropical blooms to hearty shrubs and fruit trees. The space itself has a relaxed, inviting vibe. It's easy to wander around and get inspired. They also have some cute garden decor and unique pottery. Great selection, great service, and a very pleasant place to explore!

April 21, 2022 After…read more10 years of living here, I NEVER thought the public was allowed to come inside property and purchase stuff; I was wrong! After seeing the post on Instagram and Facebook I knew I could go there and man, was I excited! A lot of people (locals) do NOT know this either... FYI marketing social person. I went this afternoon and fell in love with the place. It's on the feeder of 45 coming into Galveston and has everything you need. It's small but mighty. And, it has such personal touches like you would at your own home; it's just soo zen. I met David and Dianna Estraca (owners who opened in 2002) and I was immediately impressed with their friendliness and customer service. They were literally hands on in their plants...and in the office, etc Diana was gardening and her husband David had just returned with supplies. All of this I saw first hand and it gave me a sense of pride for them. They appreciate everything they have and the people who patronize their business. I met Jared (horticulturalist) who is friendly, knowledgeable (and, so cute!) Ha! I did miss meeting their fun social guru, media person, Karla...because of her social media posts ...I found out the public can shop here just not wholesalers, etc A lot of lay people as myself didn't know the public can shop here...FYI I fell in love with this nursery and their people... friendly gets me each and every time. I've been a fixture at Tom's Thumb all this time (owner, Peggy Cornelius -no relation to new owners) retired this year and the small town (local feel) is gone. Still a beautiful nursery that I won't turn my back on just yet...but, Earth creations you are my new zen spot. I sat in the rainbow swing today and watched the traffic go by. Then I bought (another...I've had many!) rosemary herb and a hardy angelonia plant. As I was leaving Jared offered me a free bucket (planter) I needed and a chive plant that he hopes I can revive!

I am extremely picky about my yard. I follow very specific fertilizing schedules year around…read more However, even with the best precautions, sometimes you lose the battle to chinch bugs. The summer of 2022, I lost the battle. So, in March of 2023, I needed to have 4 pallets of grass installed. A friend recommended Integrity Grass. Based upon his multiple previous experiences, I called them. They came out and quoted the job. The going rate to have San Augustine grass installed in March of 2023 is roughly $250 per pallet. I also had the equivalent amount that was dead and needed to be cleaned up before the new was put into place. The two-man crew that came out to my house did a superb job of removing the dead grass, placing the new pallets, and cleaning up the mess before leaving. I was really impressed. Other than seeing new grass where the old was, I cannot tell anyone was even at my house. I am well pleased. Everyone I dealt with was polite and friendly. If you need grass along the Clear Lake, Friendswood, League City and Galveston County Gulf Freeway corridor, I highly recommend them. Bottom line - I have zero hesitations recommending Integrity Grass for the placement/replacement of pallets of grass. They were EXCELLENT. An easy five-star review.

I hope everything goes fantastic with them!! Have a great weekend!!" Do yourself a favor and go with someone else...my small yard is NOT worth $50 per mow.

He never came by end of day Monday so I called him. He apologized and said he would definitely be there Tuesday. Well still no response so I assume further efforts are futile. It's best to not accept a new client if you cannot, totally acceptable to me. But don't waste my time & efforts when I could have had someone else hired and my lawn serviced by now.
