I had been looking at many nurseries for some larger size Alberta spruce shrubs to replace 2 that I…read morehad. One of the employees, George helped me choose 2 of the many they had down back. He also loaded them in my SUV and recommended soil to add to plant them. There was a nice gift shop with lots of statues. It is a good thing I didn't have the time to browse or I could have spent more. Fortunate to have had this family owned nursery recommended by another nursery in Paxton. Will definitely be going back soon and in the spring. Great local spot with exceptional service.

We were looking for a landscaper to remove our old, overgrown, and outdated landscape. We met the…read moreowner, Joe Ressler, and his wife at the Worcester Home & Garden show. We didn't act right away, but kept the business card. A month or so later, we headed out to the nursery in Rutland. It was in the country & set back off the road, so at first we thought we might be in the wrong place. We found the parking lot & then bumped into Joe. We showed him pictures of our house and let him know what we wanted done. He gave us a tour of the nursery, and was at our home within a week to give us recommendations & a design plan. I know not a thing about plants, I often kill them just by looking at them. We had to put our trust in his knowledge & insight. The old trees & shrubs were pulled out using caution not to destroy our stone wall or foundation. The workers were polite, efficient, and respectful of our property. The new plantings went in at least 7 days earlier than promised. The result? Couldn't be happier. It's been about 2 months now, and I haven't killed the plants yet. Even still, I'm glad they come with a guarantee!

I ordered 4 cu. yds. of screened loam to repair an area of my front yard. Last time, I had ordered…read morescreened loam from another company. This time, I made the huge mistake of ordering it from Bells: such a complete disappointment!!! First of all, I do not believe it was 'screened' because there were just too many large clumps throughout!! Some of those clumps were the size of small melons and rock hard. Because of all the required time spent on breaking the soil up: I totally regret and will NOT return to Bells for anything. It was a waste of money. Yes, I did call them to complain but they did not seem to be concerned with my disappointment.
