Albany Nursery

BEWARE — STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS!!! We used them for snow plowing a few times this year and I have never been so disappointed in a service. Not only do they do such a shoddy job that we consistently had to re-​do it, this winter we had the worst experience happen…
There was a particularly bad storm in February and we were on vacation. We called to have our driveway plowed prior to us returning from a week away. We arrive home exhausted from a day’s worth of flights only to find our driveway NOT plowed and feet of snow that we have to walk through. After calling Albany Nursery, we not only did not get an apology, the rudest woman I have ever encountered essentially says it is not their fault and their drivers were out all night and were too tired to come by! She then proceeded to blame US because we do not subscribe to their winter snow plow plan! After essentially begging her to send someone, and calling a dozen times, we finally hear a plow many hours later — except all the person does is plow all of the snow in one straight line at our garage door! We ended up having to not only shovel the entire thing ourselves — no, one straight line does not cut it and having feet upon feet of snow covering your garage does not either. I called the woman back at this store and once again — NO APOLOGY — and, once again, she actually blamed us for this happening.
The only thing more offensive and terrible about this experience was the bill this woman actually had the nerve to send us for this! After not paying it, we called and told them exactly why and the woman actually had the nerve to AGAIN blame us for this happening. No apology. No accepting responsibility for an incredibly terrible service. I am still shocked by the whole experience — it is truly the worst service I have ever had since moving to this area 2 years ago.
STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE — even if you are desperate to have your snow removed. The service is terrible and sadly the management is even worse. What a terrible company.

For what it is, it is good. They have different sizes of large trees. No Charlie Brown/​german/​table set trees. Trees are pruned to shape. Also cut to size. They will fasten the tree to your car roof. They have tree stands for sale, although the selection is limited. They also have a side driveway where you can park your car to get the tree strapped on. If you need a quick tree and live near Delaware ave, then this place is a very reasonable option.
We got the tree home and put it up. We forgot, having moved recently, that we have 9 foot ceilings. So the tree we picked out was about a foot shorter than it needed to be. Lesson learned: always know your ceiling height before you go shopping for Christmas trees. Duh.
Anyway, the tree stand worked and all is well now. We’ve even gotten compliments on our tree. So I guess this Christmas tree seller is a good one.
