    Frequent often and typically have great service. The last 2 visits were horrible. In April, I needed flowers for a birthday celebration and arrived right before closing. Young employees watched me park and walk up, then told me they were closed and I had to leave. Missed out on a big sale. Left disappointed and went somewhere else the next day. Yesterday my mother and I (nor any other customer) was offered any assistance as we walked around for almost an hour. When approaching the register, there were 2 cashiers. I asked if we could check out with the cashier who was available and she said she wasnt open and to go to the other cashier (who was checking out a customer). When it was our turn my mother asked for a price check on a plant (neither cashier knew the answer). They then come up with a price of $16.99, the plant looked half dead. My mom said it was overpriced and left it. The available cashier was rude to her counterpart and belittled her as she trained her on the spot. Another customer appeared with the same amount of purchases and she left us with the inexperienced cashier, stating the other customer had a big purchase, so she would assist him. As we left, I realized my babys cup was misplaced, so I went back to search for it. Both cashiers were on their phones and neither looked up to address me or offer to assist. I searched the grounds, but did not find the cup. As I walked off, one mumbled under her breath and they both laughed. The only employee that did any work and actually offered assistance was Thomas. It seems like younger employees have no customer service skills or manners and do not want to do any work. I will not be returning to this location.

    Needles fell off the tree as I was carrying it outside  my kitchen and living room were discovered with needles.

    Bought a Christmas tree last Friday and here it is a week later and I have to throw it away. $80 down the toilet. The tree would not suck up water. They nailed a stand and water bowl to the tree and probably forgot to cut off a portion of the bottom of the tree before nailing it to the stand. After a day or so of having the tree the needles started falling off. I found myself sweeping up needles 8 times a day. It was too dangerous to even plug in the lights because it was so dry. Stay away from this place if you want your tree to last through Christmas. My kids wanted a real tree this year, in lieu of the artificial tree we always use. Their mother died a few months ago and we wanted to do something different. They are very disappointed that I have to throw the tree away. I'm glad I have an artificial tree that I can put up. NEVER again.

    Needles fall off like crazy

    Our Christmas tree is completely dead and has been painted green to look alive. We've made sure it had water every day. The needles fall off like crazy if you even look in it's direction. I hosted Christmas and we didn't even turn the lights on it. We were afraid it would catch on fire. Totally unacceptable.

    Our behemoth christmas tree

    I went to this place twice. Once on thanksgiving night with my mother and the next day with my boyfriend. Each time we were greeted while entering by 2 different employees. The woman behind the register answered my mother's questions about their Christmas tree special and she and James showed us the different sized christmas trees based on price. We weren't ready to buy without my guy picking up the tree so they thanked us for stopping by. Next day i went back with my guy about an hour before closing and he picked an enormous 8.5ft tree for under $120. No one rushed us and James helped us wrangle the tree to my suv and the beast has been doing well ever since. Not sure why they got such terrible reviews but my experiences were quite enjoyable.

    When picked out a tree with my children spent 60 dollars our first live tree. 3 days later tree is half dead and will not make it to Christmas. So disappointed and upset tried calling before I pack this tree up to take it back and no answer!!!! All day .....notice still has price tag in it (Reg tag).

    Updated review: My magnolia and red maple I bought from this…read moreplaced survived Harvey, the snow, the freezing, and the icing! My heart is so happy seeing the maple lose leaf then growing back leaves this past month. My magnolia I don't think ever lost leaves. Money well spent here ------ Easy smooth process and honest place. This place was actually my second place of choice to buy trees. I previously went to another tree farm originally but that place was not open according to their business hours so we left. I remember driving past this huge place on the way home one day a few weeks back and decided to check it out to see if they have what we want. Uh yes they do. This place is huge! They have everything! Prices are much lower than Big Tex. Only discount on planting charge if you buy multiple. We wanted 2 45-gal of 2 types of tree, Patrick recommended that 35-gal and 45-gal for one of the trees is not much of the difference in size but big difference in price and that we should go with the 35-gal. I appreciate the honesty. Schedule date to have them planted and that was it! They show up early and planting 3 trees took them approximately only 1-1.5 hour. P/S: The place is dirt and gravel and can be muddy after rain so don't dress to impress with your best shoes when you shop here.

    Read their clauses in their contract carefully…read more In hindsight I feel a full service provider such as Hogue Landscape or similar companies may make more sense as they grade, do a free design, install, check your irrigation rather than show up with a bunch of trees of debatable quality & wish you luck. If you read their response, you will see the onus they put on the buyer as in daily monitoring their trees, keeping a log etc. Well, most people have a job, kids etc & do not sit in the backyard with a journal all day recording each leaf that falls. bottom line - Verdant installed 28 trees of which 26 died in a month!! Ignoring their loooong list of excuses, if that makes sense or is acceptable, then i guess that's that . I blew $15,000 with them and had to redo my backyard with someone with experience and my yard now looks terrific. dm me for pics or lessons learnt. Good luck with your project!
