About us

Goldner Walsh Garden & Home was founded in 1953 by Afred H Goldner and his wife Jean Walsh Goldner. The original store was previously located on Telegraph and 12 mile which is now the site of a Wendys restaurant. Alfred moved his business to our present location which was formerly the Pearce Floral greenhouse and florist which dates back to 1890 in the historic district of Pontiac. The property comprises of several greenhouses, 9 1/2 acres of nursery, full service florist and specialty garden center. We specialize in award winning landscape design and planting complimented with an extensive collection of unusual garden plants, accessories, and tropicals. Our facility is kind of funky and along with our art openings, workshops, and book signings, it is also a great place for hosting private parties, weddings, memorial services and charity events,

It went excellent. Many people in subdivision commented on how nice it looked.
Description of Work: They cleared shrubbery and trees and planted new ones. They dug out the old soil and renewed it with natural products and re-planted.

Description of Work: Goldner Walsh has made a plan for the 2 Cul-d-sac Islands in our subdivision. The landscaper took in consideration that small subdivisions depend on the homes closes to the site for watering and care of the plants. The plants he chose are drought tolerant, easy to care for and deer resistant. Planting will begin in late September when the weather is cooler.

Tim Travis from Goldner Walsh Garden and Home was always available to answer questions and used some existing plants I had in a front yard garden to fill in areas in our back. His crew worked the soil in areas to loosen it with good soil they added and mulched large areas of our front, back and side yard. He brought me a gift of a rare daylilly that they also planted. I liked the selection of unusual trees and plantings available at his nursery and my husband and I are thankful we found someone who was so reliable and knowledgeable about what plants would do well in our shady garden.
Description of Work: Came to our home a few times to advise us about our backyard landscaping project for errosion control that was being done with another company. Met and discussed our exhisting trees and creating a woodland area in our sloping , shady backyard. We picked some trees and shrubs out at his nursery and he came with his crew and placed the trees, shrubs, ferns and other plantings where he thought they would grow well in our yard. He has a wonderful intuitive sense about plants that would be good for us and we trusted his knowledge as a horticulturist to place them.

The landscape designer was very responsive to my requests and also provided good advice. I knew that I wanted a stone wall around the bed in question, so she sent me pictures and pricing for two options. When neither were quite what I envisioned, she listened to what I was describing and researched a third option, which was exactly what I wanted. This all started late in the fall season, so the designer recommended not planting until spring. They built the wall in the fall and then did the planting and mulching this spring. The designer remembered the job as if six months hadn't passed, and the final results are beautiful. I also added the second bed as a last minute thing, and she didn't bat an eye. I feel like they did additional work over and above what I requested (pruning the hydrangea and cleaning out weeds) just because they were the right things to do.
Description of Work: Landscaped one flower bed, including installation of a stone wall, and cleaned out and mulched a second bed.

Very well. See above.
Description of Work: We had Goldner Walsh design and install two revised large flower/planting beds. Their designs were just what we had in mind with some original thoughts added (which we loved). They then installed the material and were very professional and prompt in their work. The end product is very attractive and really enhances the look of our home. We are very pleased with their work and would use them again without question.

They are very professional. A well known and thought of company. They do spring clean up of flower beds and clean up in the fall. They do not do anything for the lawn. They are also a nursery. You can go to them or they can come to you. They do a lot work at the Grand Hotel.
Description of Work: We use them for planting our flowers. They take care of our landscaping.

All went very well. Tim Travis made use of existing burning bushes and a lilac bush, that others wanted to throw out. Tim moved them and they look fabulous. His ideas were simple yet effective. His initial price was too high, but we went to the nursery and picked out alternates. His knowledge of plants is outstanding, as is his enthusiasm for his work. The crew were punctual and put in 3 very labor-intensive days. Tim was always, only a phone call away and involved during the entire renovation. We absolutely love the results and some of the other ideas, he gave us. We would recommend Goldner Walsh, without reservation.
Description of Work: Tim's crew removed timbers surrounding an island in our circle drive. They moved some of the dirt and some of the plants. Other new garden beds were made and planted. Our ''lawn'' of violets was replaced with sod. Overgrown bushes were removed and new plantings were installed. Some tree/bush trimming was necessary. We were looking for curb appeal and an update of 30 year old neglected landscaping.

I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THEM. I THOUGHT THAT THEIR PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE. I THINK THAT THE LAWN LOOKS MUCH NICER. THEY SHOWED UP ON TIME AND WORKED VERY QUICKLY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE IF THEY ASKED.
Description of Work: THEY TOOK OUT THE OLD SHRUBS IN THE FRONT YARD AND PLANTED NEW ONES. THEY TOOK DOWN AN OLD OAK TREE AND PLANTED NEW TREES AND FLOWERS IN THE BACK YARD.
