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.
