This place is a gem. I've never actually been excited to buy plants before (I just have a little…read morepatio attached to my apartment, so my "garden" is limited to things that grow nicely in pots). I love going through the three different buildings at Distinctive Gardens and discovering things with names like "Gollum." And they're not just fun, they're also very high-quality and perform beautifully. The grounds at Distinctive Gardens are just as amazing as the plants you find there. I've attended both a wine festival and high school class reunion here and was amazed at how the location can be transformed into an elegant, almost enchanted venue. The owners, Bud and Lisa, are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do - Dixon is lucky to have Distinctive Gardens!

Not only was I told once myself, but I've observed it told to others as well in the same short, irritated manner, "We're sellers, not growers!" I know, crazy expectation... That a "garden center" might know something about the plants sold there. If you do just sell, that's fine. But, there has to be a more polite way to tell people other than implying they're twits for asking about the products you sell. In my humble opinion, there are nicer, more helpful places in Dixon to spend your money.

All of the employees, from sweet Lori behind emails and calls, thoughtful Bill's time and response, to River looking into past files, to Tyler helping me schedule our floor magician, Dave. What a team of dedicated home professionals! In short, I had to have floorboards removed in random spots- I was distraught and hesitant, thinking the floors integrity would be ruined. Dave, their flooring specialist is one of the kindest, most sincere people you will ever meet. The work he did was nothing short of perfection. He took his time, and ensured quality work. You would never tell my beautiful floors were worked on! Just flawless work. I have personally called this company for flooring, bathroom needs and questions - they go out of their way to problem solve and provide guidance! Their thoughtful response makes you feel like part of the Benson family. Any and all future home renovations will be through Benson Stone Company. They stand behind their work and have the most accommodating, knowledgeable and kind staff! I can not recommend them enough!
