“We’re truly grateful for the extra time we gained on weekends as a family thanks to your reliable and professional care.”

I want to express my sincere appreciation for the work your crew has done over the years. We started using your services when our children were very young, and having your team handle our lawn care allowed us to focus on spending quality time with them.

We’re truly grateful for the extra time we gained on weekends as a family thanks to your reliable and professional care. Thank you again for your great service—it’s been very much appreciated.

“Absolutely amazing customer service, and beautiful plants!”

My office was last minute looking for Valentine’s Day gifts for our colleagues. When I came into For Garden’s Sake, Morgan was eager to help! I gave her our price range and she laid out different options for me. I was a little weary as I don’t have a lot of experience with plants, but how experienced and friendly she was reassured me. They were able to put together and deliver almost 100 beautiful plants and pots in just a few days. Absolutely amazing customer service, and beautiful plants! I would recommend For Garden’s Sake to everybody!

“Hands down the BEST garden center I have been to.”

Hands down the BEST garden center I have been to. It’s so much better to support smaller businesses like this place than big brand name stores. The staff is incredibly helpful with answering questions and extremely knowledgeable, not forgetting to mention how kind they have always been to me and my family. They’ve taught me many things about each of the plants I’ve gotten there. I can’t say enough good things about them.

“Such a positive experience from the beginning of the project to the end.”

Hired For Garden’s Sake for a landscape design and installation project. Wow! What a transformation! Such a positive experience from the beginning of the project to the end. We were kept well informed throughout the process from our landscape designer, the project coordinator, and our project managers.
Our crew leader and his crew were very professional and hardworking. They paid extra attention to all the details, plant placement, right down to cleanup with power washing included!

“If you’re debating on trying this place out, GO FOR IT.”

I LOVE this place. The plant selection is amazing, they’re well taken care of and visibly loved, the labeling of pet safe plants is thorough and helpful, the staff is always warm and eager to help if needed, great outdoor and indoor area.

This place deserves all the good reviews it’s earned. The layout is a little cramped but it lends to the cozy and relaxed atmosphere more than anything.

If you’re debating on trying this place out, GO FOR IT. Prices are reasonable too, plus there are a lot of kid friendly activities to keep them busy, including a separate outdoor playground. I’m serious, this place is great. Even though it’s insanely hot in the summer, they have great air conditioning in the indoor areas and circulation in the shaded outdoors.
Thank you guys for everything you do, my family swears by you!

“Your reputation is why I got a ‘yes’ answer so quickly on my request.”

Thank you for meeting with my husband and me last week about our need for a replacement tree at our home in Chapel Hill. 

I’m checking in with the good news that our HOA has approved our request to have For Garden’s Sake locate and install a fringe tree in place of my beloved, but bug-infested, Golden Raintree that’s there now.  (I should add that y’all have a great reputation.  Your reputation is why I got a “yes” answer so quickly on my request.)
