Called Hilltop Nursery inquiring about Sod, ask several questions, do you have sod in stock "yes, but we only cut to order", do you install "yes but we are backed up a couple weeks", what time do you close, "6pm" Drove 30 minutes to Hilltop, less than 35 minutes after speaking with the same person on the phone and she tells me they are sold out.? But I just spoke to you! You said that the nursery cuts the sod by order? I was baffled, thinking how could they cut and sale all the sod in 35 minutes. Strange customer experience and a waist of my time.

Skimming through the reviews, I would say they are all accurate, both the good ones and the bad. There are clearly two very experiences that reviewers have left, ranging from great customer service to poor customer service. I have been visiting Hillside Nursery since 2014 when they were at their previous location around the corner on Baltimore Ave. I have had experiences where the customer service is phenomenal and yet also other experiences where the customer service is non-existent.

Both of these experiences have been with the same person. There are times where everything looks incredibly healthy and other times when their vegetable plants and flowers are in desperate need of water. I continue to shop here because I know exactly what I might expect. Their prices are very competitive and they offer a much better selection than Home Depot right up the street. I now go knowing that I could get anything from a 1 star to a 5 star experience.
