First I'll start with the positive.  I can tell the owner is really passionite about trees and the…read moreprices are very reasonable.  However I must now list my constructive criticism.  Before we even received our trees, delivery was over a week past estimated delivery date.  I had to email him to remind the company about my order.  I know times are crazy with covid but when you buy something and are told a delivery window a week late seems atypical (red flag #1).  We received the 5 trees we ordered, 4 of of which were hornbeams.   We already have 3 established ones in our yard and have never had a problem growing them.  The trees were very tall, but wilted when delivered and had a very small tree bulb, the container was the size of a basketball (red flag #2).  When we planted the trees we noticed the roots were not the most mature, and the taproot was small, but we still planted them.  After less than 1 week we were noticing one tree had all of its leaves turn brown, after 3 weeks the other tree started to turn and in 4 weeks we had 2 dead hornbeams .  At this point I emailed the owner and asked him what his business could do for us.  I have bought many trees and shrubs over the years at many nurseries and the most reputable ones in the area like Terrain and Mostadis have a warranty with their goods.  However I know this buisnees says on its website that the customer is soley responsible.  I find this to be very disheartening because 2 of our trees were never in the best shape when received and were planted and cared for well. I should have spoke up upon delivery but I never thought they would die and not be revivable.  After I emailed him the first time I heard no response for 1 week.  After a nudge email he informed me he was so busy and would email me "soon once his internet service is restored".  After another week I them sent him another email, and still yet to hear anything (red flag #3).    So this leaves me here, writing a negative review that I never wanted to have to give and out $300 in dead hornbeams.  Again I know these are not normal times with covid and I was giving this buisnees every benefit of the doubt, but their customer service is severely lacking.  As for my review I am being generous with 2 stars, 2 of 5 trees died and their customer service needs an overhaul.

I've flipped 5 houses in Chester County over the last 30 years and just moved into my 6th…read more Landscaping is a big part of what I invest in as I both enjoy it - and I live in the houses as I renovate so I want them to look nice. As a result, I've been to most every gardening place from East Earl, PA to Phoenixville to the old Agway outside West Chester to Malvern - you get the idea. I first started going to mainline gardens about 6 years ago. They had decent pots, expensive, but nice. Then I started buying plants there (mostly annuals for said pots) and they were nice enough. Now I would normally go on weekdays so I was dealing with the core crew and not the weekend staff. This spring I've been there twice (once in April and once in May) looking specifically for small perennials with varying sunlight requirements. This is the first time I've ever visited this nursery looking at things through that lens and it was beyond disappointing. The weekend staff are probably largely college aged and know absolutely nothing about the plants. They have a covered area in the back where one would assume the shade loving plants would be kept, but nope - it's a complete hodgepodge of anything from full sun to shade and seemingly no rhyme or reason to how it's organized. Yesterday I went to find a Japanese maple. All of their trees and shrubs are in full sun. Some are marked with explanatory tags that tell you about the plant, but just as many are not. I found the perfect red maple, in full sun, and stupidly assumed it was therefor a full sun plant. It isn't. So I spent $200 on a tree that won't work for where I bought it because they have no organization for their plants around sun requirements. So the take-a-way on this is - don't expect knowledgeable staff on the weekend. Don't assume they're doing any intentional placement of their inventory and go in prepared to look things up on your phone as needed. The reason I gave them 2 stars, is that in comparison to every other nursery I go to - they arrange things according to sun requirements. Shade plants are kept under cover and full sun are not. So, caveat emptor.

That's why I continue to support this nursery and always happy to stop by and pick a new plant.

We planted some additional trees with them in 2013, and when the last two winters proved very harsh, Doyle & McDonnell was more than fair in helping us with replacements.

This is a great place to bring out of town visitors who want to enjoy a truly delightful Pennsylvania farm.
