Supply and delivery of sod for lawn projects, with rush delivery options.
I bought 46 rolls of sod, and even though the order was fulfilled, it was a very painful process. The first time I called, I asked what type of grass it was since the website doesn't specify, and they said "I dunno, the type of grass that grows in lawns".... very unprofessional overall and unfortunately they didn't show any expertise on the matter. They quoted me the "Rush delivery" for $150 (even though it was going to arrive 5 days after the order was placed), and when I called them to ask what does the "Rush delivery" include vs. normal delivery they 'didn't know'. This business could truly be great, but the owners should look into training their staff so that they're more knowledgeable on their job. Hope this feedback helps.
The staff are so friendly and helpful. Lots of interesting plants and a huge variety to look at. There are also chickens.
I love this place. Best prices for fire wood in city. I head up there from Brooklyn and everyone is always super kind and helpful. The plants are lively as well 💖wish it was my local garden center.
I bought a Florida ghost philodendron and a white wizard philodendron here. I kept them in the original substrate and they are both growing SO well, especially the wizard which pushes out new leaves constantly. Prices are a little high but I’m very happy with my purchases. Also the chickens were a nice surprise. My one recommendation is that they stock some more carnivorous plants other than Venus fly traps, like pitcher plants and pinguiculas.
UGC carries both indoor and outdoor plants, along with the usual plant supplies and gardening accessories. The indoor plant selection isn't that great and the prices are high considering the size and condition of the plants. Even on sale they're not worth it. I bought a ceramic planter and (unbeknownst to me until my first time watering) there were hairline cracks running through it top to bottom. Waste of money. I don't see myself coming back. Edit: In response to the owner's reply, the roundtrip fare would mean I only get back like $6 so I don't see the point in returning the pot.
