Sharon Nursery-Garden Store

Went here with my Dad in order to help him buy some plants for his patio. This nursery is very nice, although it is a bit «suburban» — lots of unassuming and non-​showy flowers, plants, and shrubs. Their succulent selection was really sad, and their herb/​vegetable selection was pretty limited. I thought the prices were a little steep — $ 35 for a planter and $ 4 for herbs, really? They did have a pretty cool selection of coleus, including one that was pretty psychedelic. Staff are very nice and helpful.

I’ve used Sharon Nursery on two occasions, first to landscape the front of my home and after a good experience there, for the backyard. We like their designs and are happy with the overall result for the price but will no longer use them or recommend them after some of the customer service issues with the backyard.
We had contacted SN in the spring of 2012 and quickly got a design and estimate on landscaping the backyard for which we made a down payment on. We didn’t get the landscaping done until early November. To be fair they originally wanted to do it on a week we were on vacation and we declined. We didn’t bug them every week as we were not in a hurry and decided to put a fence in the meantime which changed things around. If you’re in more of a hurry be prepared to keep bugging them until the job’s done.
We also had an issue with being charged for materials that weren’t used and some difficulty in getting them to adjust the price of the invoice. Our design called for stone wall for a few small retaining walls. I had noticed that the landscapers didn’t bring out as much as we had ordered (over two pallets) and even then put some back on their truck. I complained about it and got a «we’ll look into it» email and after a wait, no reply. Finally I made some measurements and realized that the height of the retaining walls were not as high as the designed originally specified. Armed with this, I was able to convince them to refund some of the price I paid but even then I think I was still overcharged a little bit for stones not used. I say this by my estimates of weighing one wall stone and then estimate how much all of them would weigh.
If that’s not enough. After we finally paid, SN held our $ 2000 check for about a month before cashing it. That’s nerve wrecking having to always make sure you have enough cash in the checking account knowing the check could clear any day.
I don’t regret working with them but next I think we’ll try someplace else.

We have had them out to 2 different houses now and they have done fabulous design and installation. They back the guarantee and came right out to fix some issues we had with floating mulch. Professional and Mike H. was great to work with.

Worked here for years. Family owned and opperatted with strong ties to the community.
