We are really happy with the service we received and the arrangement we purchased via Aletha's…read moreyesterday. My grandmother was admitted to Marietta Memorial unexpectedly and my mom recommended that I call Aletha's directly to arrange for some flowers to be delivered. When I called, I reached Heidi who was friendly, knowledable and a great listener - it was important to me that Heidi really took the time to communicate about the arrangement and the delivery process. She even offered to send me a picture of the arrangement prior to delivery. The act of sending flowers tends to be underscored by an emotional event - sometimes a joyous one, sometimes a sad one. To be able to to pick up the phone in California at noon and reach a kind, professional like Heidi who delivers a beautiful floral arrangement to the hospital within two or three hours is priceless. Grandma loves them. She's raving about how lovely they are and that brings all of us who care about her and wish we were there a tremendous amount of solace. Thanks, Aletha's! Thanks, Heidi! We look forward to talking to you again - next time for a more joyous occasion like Grandma's 88th birthday...

I have used this florist for years during the holiday season to help send flowers to family members…read morein Marietta. I live out of state and rely on the store staff to prepare beautiful gifts for me. This year I called and spoke to the sales person. I told her she had a significant budget to make something beautiful. I received a call from the person it was delivered to and they said "you did not get your money's worth." I called the store and the worker told me "I told you the plant I was sending was the last one." She was rude and unwilling to help make amends. She told me I needed to call the person I sent it to and apologize to them. I will not be using their services again.

I started a brand new herb garden in Michigan 3 years ago with herbs from Scott's. I can't even…read moretell you how gorgeous and prolific my herb garden continues to be every year. The parsely I put in 3 years ago came back again this year. And it tastes wonderful. Whenever I am in this area, I have to go to Scott's to see what is new. This year I bought a couple house plants and garden items to take back to Michigan. Even if you're not shopping plants, stop in for cold ice cream on these hot days. They moved the ice cream window into a spacious adorable space with seating. (Only to-go during this phase of reopening during COVID19). And the gift items are so cute. You know you need something so stop in. The staff is very knowledgeable. Happy planting!

I hired Scot's to take out my old retaining wall and put in a new one last July. I was told work…read morewould start in October, but at the end of October, not only had they not started, I had not heard from them, either. When I contacted them, I was told that they were backed up because it was such a wet fall, which I understand, but why no phone call telling me they were going to be a month later starting? When they did finally start, one man would show up to work on breaking up my wall. One day he got less than a 1 foot section broken up. He told me the next day that they had sent him with a piece of equipment that had no hydraulic fluid in it. Once they got hydraulic fluid, the breaking up process went much faster. Once the breaking up began, however, the worker(s)- and it was frequently just one man- didn't put in anywhere close to a full day of work. It was not uncommon for me to come home at my lunch time at 11:30 and have him/them just showing up as I was leaving. They would be gone before I got home from work at 4PM. I had a construction company at my house replacing my kitchen floor, and they even made the comment that they wished they worked for this company because their boss expected them to put in a full day and Scot's clearly did not. During Thanksgiving week (the whole week), the whole crew took the entire week off to go hunting. I understand this. What I don't understand is why they had to leave TWO large pieces of heavy equipment sitting in my front yard. This whole time I was getting absolutely no communication from my landscape designer or the owners. When I finally reached out to the owners to express my unhappiness, I started to see a full crew at my house for a full day. When the wall was finished, it WAS exactly what I had envisioned and paid for. Fast forward to this spring and my first mowing. Because they had torn up my front yard, Scot's put down grass seed and covered it with a thick layer of straw. As the grass is just now coming up through the straw, I waited to mow until yesterday. As I was mowing, I found SEVERAL (at this point, over 25) large rocks and pieces of my wall they had broken up and didn't pick up in my yard. When I say large, I mean mower-ruining large. Rather than pick up the rocks and pieces of wall, they threw a thick layer of straw over the rocks to hide them so I am finding these unpleasant surprises all over my yard. I also found several pieces of twine in the yard from where they opened up the bales of straw but didn't bother to take out the twine. Because spring is a particularly busy time for me, I frequently have a boy who is in high school mow my lawn. I am grateful he was unable to mow yesterday because he (or his mower) could have gotten seriously hurt thanks to Scot's negligence. I was foolish to have gone to this company and will tell anyone I know who is doing landscaping to STAY AWAY from Scot's!

Or the company, too. The wine tastes better if I am with close friends. Favorite Things is a cozy shop nestled among a line of similarly charming shops near the Ohio and Muskingum rivers in downtown Marietta. My wife and I love to start our river crawl at the antiques shop by the Ohio River, and gradually, shop by shop, make our way down Front Street until we can rest our feet and sink our teeth into a block of fudge at Favorite Things. Accompanied by fresh coffee, naturally. Honestly I would never eat fudge except here. I think it's a Marietta tradition, or should be. Make a note, whomever is keeping track of such things!

After driving 30 minutes the owner called her and the appointment was given to someone else by accident after having it in the books. Just as weird, this happened after my wife left a poor review regarding the owner. The owner said "there is a conflict of interest" and my wife is banned from the business.
