Riedel Garden Center

Misleading and dishonest prices. After the job was finished, it was nowhere near the budget that I said I was willing to spend. It was the worst purchase I have ever made in my life. In response to the owner’s response, the owner most definitely did not stick with the estimate. The owner tried multiple times to add more and more tacky plants and actually brought (literal) truckloads of plants over to my house to try to pressure me into more. I did not want these extra plants because I thought it would look too cluttered. I’m very glad that I talked the owner out of extra plants because little did I know, the estimate and handshake went completely out the window when the price was figured. The owner knew what my budget was. We had to work on several versions of the plan to get the estimate to my budget. Luckily, I fought to keep things much simpler than the owner suggested because in the end, all items were paid at his very own high-priced garden center’s retail cost. If I had let the owner talk me into more, I would have been in even worse shape. However, what really inflated the price the most was a terribly inaccurate tally of labor hours. The amount of hours of labor charged was much more than was actually done (not to mention much more than what was agreed upon in the estimate). When everything was said and done, there was no irrigation installed to my wife’s raised garden (which I still hear about to this day). When the bill came, I had the most sticker shock I had ever experienced. I felt that there was no way I would pay this exorbitant bill and sought legal help. However, the two layers I called told me they were representing the owner for similar issues and could not represent me because of a conflict of interest. I came to the conclusion that life is too short to drag this through a long legal process and paid the bill so I could move on. Without a doubt, this was and still is the worst and most stressful purchase of my life by a hefty margin. Buyer’s remorse is quite the understatement.

They did a great job! They were very professional, conscientious, and paid attention to detail. Once they got there, it only took two days to landscape a very large yard including the drip system.

Thank you for standing behind the warranty on your roses.

Very good when they finally came for the landscaping! However, it took 4 separate visits to get the owner to understand what we wanted and to stay on our budget. It also seemed he would forget about us for weeks at a time and then we would suddenly get a call if someone else cancelled. We were NOT a priority.

Very nice folks, helpful, great selection.
