One of the coolest things they have are "treadable" plants for stepping stones. Some varieties were thyme and mint, and others seemed to be succulent-style to not smash under food, while there are blooming types as well. They have a great variety of shrubs, flowers, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Looks like they are getting deliveries often as the weather is warming up enough to start planting. Proprietor was kind and helpful as well.

In Boston I got a call from the owner of Don's saying they were trying to deliver, they were in the building. She then said they found it, all was good. Talked to my wife that evening, she'd gotten nothing, her first birthday with me as her new husband. I'd heard nothing from anyone from Don's. I called the owner the next morning, she somehow thought they'd been delivered. "He's a pretty reliable guy", she would check and call back. I never heard a word. The next day, a day late, they delivered my new wife's flowers. How impressive that must have been to her coworkers, her husband of two months finally thought to get her flowers, who didn't understand how embarrassing that would be. They still charged my credit card. They say an issue is a chance to impress customers with how you react. I texted the owner, never a word back.

Having purchased from Grelen in the past, we called to discuss our needs and worked with Sarah on design and plant selection. She was very helpful and responsive and came up with a design that met our needs for a low maintenance, deer resistant garden. As part of the plan, we wanted to transplant 3 large (8' tall) boxwoods. The Grelen crew managed that part beautifully - picking up and moving the plants with skill and care. They then prepped the bedding areas carefully - keeping what we wanted and removing the rest; adding and tilling in compost and putting in new plants. The size and number of plants had to be adjusted slightly, but that was done very skillfully. Joaquin and Roman, the crew leaders made some excellent suggestions, based on their extensive experience, that we and Sarah were glad to take. The crew did great work: they were careful, neat, and skillful. I'm not sure where Grelen falls on the cost spectrum. Friends have said they are expensive. I'd say they aren't cheap, but I think they did very good work and were efficient, skilled and careful. So far, I think we've gotten what we paid for.

Other companies had done a good job in previous years, but the Grelen price was less and they promised a more environmentally safe product. In the end, the fruits were totally covered with and killed by rust -- it was the worst outcome in 12 years! Grelen refused any responsibility and would not even refund their fee, much less pay for the damage their incompetence caused. They were arrogant and argumentative.
