The prices of these specimens is not surprisingly very high. However, most of the inventory is priced at what you find at other nurseries. We stopped in over the Labor Day weekend looking for a small evergreen. No less than three people offered help and we were able to find what we were looking for. And on sale too. Fall is a great time to buy plants and trees with most things on sale. This weekend they had perennials for 50 to 75% off. Many plants were just 2 or 3 dollars.

I inherited a lawn and garden from someone way beyond my skill level, and I've spent literal years…read morelooking for a gardener or landscaper who would be willing to work on smaller projects ($5k-$10k) to help me clean it up. I was also looking for a company who cares about eco-friendly gardening, which obviously led me to Ecoscapes. I was initially very impressed at the consultation. Craig was really professional and extremely knowledgeable. He spent a lot of time telling me about my yard and even walked through every little spot with me identifying plants and giving me ideas for DIY projects that I could tackle without much cost. I was literally at the point of tears (of joy) after the consultation because I was so grateful. Unfortunately, once things got into the planning stages, the experience went downhill pretty fast. It took almost a month before I received the initial quote on the project, although he said things might be delayed so I didn't think much about it at the time. But after that, all communication completely dropped off. I sent a follow-up message to the quote asking for a couple modifications, but never heard back. After a few weeks I sent another message asking if he received my last one. That's when he very quickly responded (quote): "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in small projects. If you decide to tackle a larger project I would be fine with entertaining that in the future." To say I was disappointed is an understatement. It was immediately clear to me that my project wasn't "valuable enough" for him, despite having long-term plans for multiple projects. What was especially frustrating is that his business is not only advertised as "small project-friendly" but Craig was clear in the consultation that he would work with me after I had given him the scope. It definitely felt like he was simply "being professional" to get the $100 consulting fee but had no actual interest in following through. I had also put other prospective landscapers on hold waiting for responses from Craig that I never received. So while the consultation went well, I really can't recommend this company if you're considering a project under $10k. Which is a shame because I was ready to be a customer for life based on the first meeting. So if you need an eco-friendly landscaper and you don't have a big budget, look elsewhere. But if you're looking to pay $100 for someone to tell you about the plants in your yard, the fee is worth it.

I called ahead to make sure they were going to be open. I showed up at 5:41pm, knowing they closed at 6pm (because I called earlier that day). They already closed their doors and were having what looked like a little get together in the back. When I walked by they informed me that they were closed and after I asked about closing at 6 and it being nearly 20 minutes before that - they asked me rudely what I was looking to buy. I was so put off, I just came up with simply "ribbon?" (I was there for lots of things but it was the first thing that came to mind). Clearly that wasn't enough to entertain her, and she said to come back tomorrow. Now since I only live 7 minutes away, it would have been no big deal. But I actually needed stuff for a baby shower and didn't really want to stop by again. I ended up going to Lund's for Flowers and Michaels for ribbon and boxes and party favors. Just unfortunate because I love extra touches and was really excited about checking this place out, but not after how I felt.
