They have a wonderful selection of healthy perennials and annuals for spring. Prices are a bit higher than big box stores, but I am confident the plants were never stressed before sale. They are watered consistently, and not overgrown.

After getting ghosted by another sprinkler company, I called Mickmans to finish a sprinkler system overhaul that had been left half complete. Susan got someone out in no time at all and did a wonderful job letting us know what to expect. She was so knowledgeable about our system and honestly worked magic with the scheduling. The clear line of communication was a night and day difference with what we experienced working with the last company.
When Scott got here he immediately got to work picking up where the last company left off (and fixing their mistakes). In less than two hours the system was totally up and running. Could not be happier with the results! The lesson here is call Mickmans the FIRST time around.

Just had Cameron come out to open our sprinkler system - he did a great job! Let me tag along and explained what he was doing and why, and went out of his way to get it done right. Highly recommend, especially the technician, Cameron!

I go here every year for flowers, veggie plants, decorations, landscaping needs, advice etc. I love it! The staff is very knowledgeable. They have such a huge selection of everything! Their prices are a tad high but you get great plants and warranties on some plants if they die. I love their rewards program, it's free to sign up and the rewards are great. I also love their pre-planted hanging baskets. I would recommend "mick-mini-minsss" (that's what I call it) to everyone!

Not great customer service. Brought in a plant that had a warranty and it did not make it. It died within a week. We did not put it in right away as we had a week straight of rain. We were accused of not watering it and letting it freeze even though it was protected and the plants next to it did just fine. We will never be back. We have spent lots of money in the past. But never again! Very rude customer service.
