So delightful and an excellent plow job. Even left 50lbs of salt that I requested while in the shop giving my CC info. Love Laura and staff.

I would only buy from Beachside Gardens if you don't mind if your plants don't grow, and they don't honor their guarantee. I bought the plants Laura said would grow on my property. I let them plant at their higher rates because they told me they would guarantee the plants for a year. Forget that. Two months later, 50% of the plants didn't do well. They said wait till next spring, then in the spring they said wait till med June, then after mid June they stopped returning calls or texts. I even stopped by and talked to one of the sisters, and still Laura never returned my calls. I have never written a negative review before but the public needs to know. STAY AWAY!

Bought my parents several pine trees in late spring. All of them are dead and they refuse to replace them. There solution was to give them 40 percent replacement trees.

Very knowledgable people who are also very nice. The place is well stocked with trees, bushes, plants and accessories. It is a family-owned business and you feel it as soon as you drive in.
