We purchased a large, beautiful palm from here and couldn't be happier with our experience…read more Our original palm did not take and had to be replaced (with the Moon Valley warranty) and both the manager (Phillip) and Nick (who oversees the area helped coordinate the replacement which is doing great now. Nick went above and beyond to help me and is so so knowledgeable!! The warranty offered is definitely worth it--we highly recommend opting for it for peace of mind. Our arborist, Martin, who comes out to check on the palm, has also been absolutely incredible! He took his time inspecting the tree, carefully pruning it, and showing genuine care and expertise every step of the way. Martin is not only knowledgeable, but also attentive and passionate about what he does, which really puts us at ease knowing our palm is in such good hands. We truly appreciate the outstanding service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the nursery and Martin. Their plants are expensive but they have the most beautiful large plants in town. Thank you to Martin, Phillip and Nick!

Ashley was especially wonderful and made my visit a great experience.

She was either on her phone or using it to look up the questions I had about a few plants they had. Either way, off putting and completely useless. Also (for those looking): They also do not grow/stock veggie starters or any herbs really. Very minimal and overpriced selection of old, basic Texas yard plants and a dusty little succulent and houseplant tent. This was the third time I have been here in 2 years and nothing has changed for the better. Not worth it, I do not recommend this place and I won't be back.

I didn't, having never done so for any other Living Social deal, but this location of Garden-Ville doesn't "have the scanners and equipment to redeem" from a smart phone. To which I said, "Well, I wish you'd have mentioned that when I called half an hour ago." You shouldn't even need such equipment - the employee just didn't know what to do. So I drove home empty-handed, having wasted an hour (and 30 miles). I'd just hoped for a nice drive and to check out a different garden shop. But this place isn't a garden shop, it's only really set up for dealing with contractors and wholesale operations, not individuals. Again, I wish their web page or the LivingSocial deal had made that clear. So, 1-star experience. However, the price list looks promising. And the just-learned fact that Garden-Ville is the composting and recycling component of Texas Disposal Systems is redeeming.

I will try to keep this brief but there really is so much to say. We have a very big yard and only…read moretwo small trees, so we have been looking around for quite some time. Our ground is mostly rock with a little dirt (northwest Autin in the Hill Country). I have spoken to Albert several times over the years because our ground is so hard, and I worry about the installation, which seems to be the problem with all the other nurseries. Albert assured me they would do whatever it took to dig the holes and get them properly installed. We went to pick one tree this past weekend, but they were all so healthy and HUGE that we ended up choosing three trees. The trees are an excellent value for the cost. The experience was very enjoyable. A few days later, I was called to schedule installation, and they came out the next morning. Highlights: They showed up at 9:30, exactly when they said they would. Four men showed up (they were big trees). They had a jackhammer and shovels. They were very polite and worked with me on placement (turning them when I picked a different side to face the house). They spent time making sure the trees were perfectly straight. They hauled away all the old dirt and rocks (taking the rocks they dug up was great) They built a berm around the trees to help with watering. They installed tubing to help with daily watering. They put in metal poles and wiring to keep the trees straight as they grow. They checked to make sure I was happy with each tree installation as they did it. They made sure I was pleased with everything before they left. The area was as clean when they left as when they arrived. (This is a big deal because several contractors have left old water bottles and trash at our house before.) Albert called to ensure I was pleased with the work and is coming later today or tomorrow to install a timer for the water. I could not be more thrilled! The trees look gorgeous, and the surrounding area is tidy and well-manicured. We are already planning where we will put more trees next year. If you are at all considering investing in trees, you should take the drive out to see them. You will not be disappointed.

I can't say enough good things about ATX. We lost a tree to the recent drought, and after…read moreresearching local options, visited their RR12 location. The gentleman we initially met at their yard gave a tour of all the trees in his golf cart, asked us several questions about what we were replacing, and what we thought we would like to replace it with. He stopped frequently to identify the different trees, provide all the pros and cons of each variety, whether they were particularly suitable for where we live, etc. We didn't feel rushed, he was exceptionally pleasant, and was happy to answer all our questions. When we decided what type of tree we wanted, we were handed a flag, picked out the exact tree we liked best, and they delivered it in a matter of days. Their crew was friendly and efficient, and for a reasonable fee, cut down and removed the dead tree. They were finished in no time, and left the yard looking better than when they arrived. They only asked for payment when the old tree was gone, the new tree was planted, staked, watered, and we were 100% satisfied with their work. I really didn't think this level of customer service existed anymore. Go see them. You won't regret it.

From start to finish, Martin's personal attention made all the difference. His deep knowledge, care, and attention to detail ensured our four trees were trimmed perfectly and look absolutely beautiful. It's rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work and genuinely cares about his customers' satisfaction.

What a far-out Pot dealer, man! These pot pushers are dope!…read moreThey've got a wide selection of pots out here along 290 out west of Austin! They seem to specialize in Vietnamese pots in a wide variety of colors and shapes and sizes. The pots here go from little tiny ones from Mexico to giant ones that you could leap out of and surprise your friends. Bonus- nearly every pot in the store can be rigged up to become an awesome fountain! They even sell the reservoirs, and pumps, you just provide the water! The staff is friendly and answers any questions. They helped load the pot up into the back of the car for us which was nice, since those pots are big and heavy! They also have a bunch of artwork for your yard- sculptures of Easter Island statues, and cowboy ant sculptures. Stuff every yard needs. The whole store is outside, so it's easy to socially distance and it's always easy to put a few aisles of pots in between you and the next shopper around here, so it's an easy place to shop!

Since Carnivero did not participate in the event, we decided to make the trip to their nursery to see what they had available. Just like our first previous visit, we thoroughly enjoyed browsing their impressive selection of carnivorous plants. We were amazed by how healthy, vibrant, and beautiful all of their plants looked. I completely lost track of time while carefully admiring and inspecting their fascinating collection of exotic carnivorous plants. During our visit, I picked up a tiny Tillandsia, commonly known as an air plant or sky plant. This evergreen flowering plant is incredibly low-maintenance, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air, making it an easy and interesting addition to any plant collection. Overall, it was another satisfying visit to Carnevero. We enjoyed admiring the wide variety of exotic and new plants they have for sale. It is always worth the drive to this hidden gem outside the Austin area.
