Patrick Gravel was our landscape designer for our backyard landscaping transformation. He was absolutely wonderful and listened to everything we wanted and incorporated specific requests we had. He was quick to respond to any questions we had. The team that came to prepare the yard and then do the actual landscaping were fantastic. They made small adjustments the day of to make the look even better and answered any questions we had. Would absolutely recommend Cross Creek for landscaping and design and we will definitely use again!

Awesome selection of plants. I've bought 5 perennials from this nursery this year. Great quality and service when you're there. The employees are so helpful! The only downside is that they don't have delivery services for river rocks. I wish they had that so I can buy from them. I don't have a means to get a pickup truck.

I am very much hurt by what happened today. I placed a phone call order for a house plant on Friday. I paid over the phone and was told it was set aside for me. I drive an hour and a half to pick it up today, only to be told it is no where to be found. Either and employee or customer stole the plant. I am extremely upset that something like this would even occur there. I always love to visit cross creek to purchase not only house plants but outdoor plants too.
I hope they get a chance to check the cameras as to what may have happened. They need to be like Great Big Greenhouse and hide sold plants, not keep them up front where people can see them. I will say the manager and cashier today were very helpful and were able to get me a refund.

We cannot say enough good things about the crew assigned to our project. They were incredibly hard working, personable, thorough and eager to please. They are an excellent representative of Cross Creek company. We are very pleased with the overall project results and would recommend Cross Creek for any landscape projects. Our home has made a remarkable transformation.

It was fun, we brought the kids, there were goats, creeks, bridges, cliffs, patios, barbecues, a slide, and the kiddos loved seeing bulldozers at work. They liked riding in the giant pushcart. And there of course were tons of flowers at great prices, way way better selection than Home Depot, and that's why we came in the first place. Busy with customers, but definitely not too busy for a Saturday.

My first time visiting this nursery and was happy with the experience. I don't know much about plants but a young lady who wore glasses help me out with choosing the type of plants and size pots for my windowsill. I can't remember her name but thank you again!
