This company are the worst, when it comes to delivery, look at the pictures and tell me why they can't drop a sand, where they supposed to but rather, the driver said his job is only to drop right in front of my driveway to obstruct cars from going in and out! Make sure if using this company that delivery at the spot you requested is not an issue! The office don't have any remorse or understanding! Terrible service and never to use such company.

Enjoyed my visit here I took on my lunch break. I am not good at plants and was very up front and they provided me with all the knowledge and advice they could plus they were kind and honored their discounts. I will be back in the spring. I bought native berries and will be back looking for more native plants.

Went to Thomas & Sons with not a clue about what we wanted to plant. Frank was so helpful and patient and helped us create a beautiful landscape. They have a great selection and are very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

I bought 5 fruit trees here last week, and I just realized that the price here is almost double Lowes price on everything and the trees at Lowes are bigger. It is too late for me now. Lost about 200 dollars here.

Greetings, Just had mulch delivered. I buy my mulch from this establishment every three years to brighten up my landscape around my abode. I can honestly say that has never been disappointed with the company on time service and professionalism mannerism. The quality of the much is first class. It enhances the curbside appeal around my entire residence. Additionally, the workers at A.Thomas are very courteous and friendly and treats everyone one with utmost respect. I absolute love spending my USD there. God Blessings!

We have purchased several shrubs and trees from A Thomas and found them to be in good shape, with strong roots. I've noticed some people question the quality of the plants after getting them home: We had one issue with an Andromeda after we planted it but -- calling a spade a spade -- learned that our aggressive irrigation was actually rotting its root system.

Lesson learned. Hard to blame the nursery for a dying plant when it's actually your fault.! The staff is super helpful and -- after a few trips -- remember us by name, which is super nice! The selection is quite large, the prices are fair, and it just feels good to support local instead of always going to big box chains.

I thought they had a wonderful selection and helpful and knowledgeable sales staff. However, we bought 4 trees from them last spring and one didn't make it through the winter. Most places will stand by their products, at least for a year, but they maintain that since they didn't install them, it's not their problem. Neither my husband or I remember being told about that policy when we bought them and opted to self-install, and she was simply positive that we had been. The woman was also very rude and defensive during the conversation. Would not recommend purchasing from a place that won't stand by their product.

Wow! This place is amazing! it goes way back! The plants are absolutely gorgeous! I'm doing some landscaping in my yard so we bought some new bushes and some hydrangeas and we were amazed of how gorgeous this place was. The ladies at the front counter were wonderful! They came to my truck and helped us, too! I will definitely be coming back to buy some more plants before the end of the week! They have statues I wanted to buy, too! LOVE IT HERE!

Unbelievable service and attention to detail! Geno came to our house, did an assessment and recommended beautiful landscaping based on what we were looking for. He was so thorough and helpful and answered all of my questions. Because this place is so amazing, there was about a month wait for the work to be done but that said, they were right on schedule (promised in the month of June and had it done in the first week of the month) and finished everything in one day.

The men who came day-of were incredibly helpful, friendly, and clearly really hard workers. They put so much care into the work they do and it shows. We loved our experience and will definitely go back for future landscaping needs. Highly recommend!

I bought 2 fruiting cherry trees last fall from them. One was small and beat up, with a crack in the trunk. The guy said he would give me a discount, but he must have forgotten because when I got home & looked at the receipt, it was full price. Not happy about that, but OK. But this spring, something was eating the 2 trees to bits! I had to spray the one tree off with a hose to chase off the ants that were farming the TONS of little black aphids that are all over the tree.

But aphids don't eat holes in the leaves and the leaves were eaten all to shreds. I turned over the curled up leaves and started finding dozens of little striped green caterpillars! I pulled of all I could spot & reach. None of my other trees have these, so I am pretty sure that I got both the aphids & the caterpillars courtesy of A Thomas. NOT HAPPY.

I have pictures of both trees' leaves today, the cracked trunk of the "discounted" tree and my haul of caterpillars. Never going to buy from them again. They might be great for dirt. NOT FOR PLANTS

This is the second year in a row I have had to order dirt for my yard. Last year I went with someone that was local to me and this year I called A Thomas. They delivered the loam/compost mix right away and I was very pleased with the dirt. Tons of worms for my veggie garden. If you are paying for dirt make sure it is a good quality. Also the place that is basically at the end of my street charged $50 for delivery fee and A Thomas only charged $45. Also they have a great selection of plants and trees along with very friendly staff that are always willing to hlep.

I needed a few ideas for shrubs for the front of our house. We purchased a few shrubs from another place last year and they were a bad fit/poor choice. All of the staff here were incredibly helpful. They gave us a number of options and considerations for the area and explained how to organize them. Staff had everything in the car by the time I finished signing the credit card statement. Great place/great staff. Will definitely go back.

This place gets an A+ Beautiful nursery stock, very knowledgeable and helpful staff! The girls at the front pot my annuals for me every year and do a wonderful job. It sounds like the other reviewer had an issue that should have been dealt with their bank, not teenage employees who couldn't do anything to fix their bank holds. I have never had an issue like that in all my years of shopping here. Like their first review said, Thomas has great plants and items for reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

I called these guys looking for dirt to fill a flower bed in my back yard. Not the tallest order as I only needed a few yards but none the less they were prompt, polite, and extremely accommodating. Delivery was next day and the truck driver squeezed the dirt to the best possible location for me to move it around. Dirt was also very high quality and I'm looking forward to planting shrubs and flowers. So, if you need dirt on a dime, these guys are great.
