September 8, 2020, we entered into a $6,000+ contract for landscaping they said would be completed in October. The contract states 30% due upon signing (we paid $3,000) and 70% upon completion. When they didn't show, we called and after a several week run-around, we finally got some of our items planted late November. In February, Zach asked us to pay for the partial work done; still no date for the remainder of our work. An installation date of mid-April was given, so my husband paid another $1,900, in good faith (shame on him). At some point an installation date of mid April was then moved to mid May; same nonsense as last fall. Now, Zach and Mike will not call us. We have no recourse but to work with Visa to withdraw our payment. In addition, at least 2 of the trees planted late November appear dead and the rest don't look good. The trees, which are large, were not staked, except for one stake that the installer removed from our existing tree without asking permission. Don't trust their word, follow the contract and go somewhere else if you want the work done in a timely manner.

Each time we go to Frisella Nursery we are always impressed with the professionalism and courtesy extended to us. Kudos to both Laura and Juliana for making us feel so comfortable and appreciative. It’s not a matter of how big of a client we are or how much money is spent - we are treated with detail and concern for our needs.

OK, but had a long delay for installation due to weather conditions in spring. Justin Verbryck (the landscape designer) was extremely helpful and kept trying to get the project completed in timely manner. The final product looks fantastic! Had a few issues with buried cables, but Justin got that fixed quickly.

I would recommend them to anyone. They have had an wide selection available. The designer who was from the area, recommended the low maintenance plants. Really great job.

When it budded in April, I found it was a white oak. Frisella recognized the mistake and agreed to replant it with the correct tree. However, they did not get out to replant it until June 2015. The new tree died by late July. I called back and they suggested I wait until February 2016 to replant it. I did not hear back from them until late March 2016. They then promised to have the new tree planted by mid April. Now it's the 2nd week of May and the chance of the tree surviving with a late planting is dropping fast. At this point, I just want my money back.
Response from Frisella Nursery
"Hi [Member Name Removed], We are sorry to hear about your experience. When the tree was sold (before it leafed out) it was misidentified by one of our associates. As you mention we did not handle that initial installation. Due to our mistake we felt our responsibility, as a company, was to replace the tree and install it for you, waiving our usual installation charge. As you probably remember last spring was rainy and caused delays in our installation timing. We cancel installations when it is too wet to protect our customers' lawns and the viability of the trees being installed. Unfortunately that tree died last July. Since it was an oak and we were sold out of previously dug material, as a grower, we recommended waiting until new oaks would be dug in the late winter/early spring of 2016. There is no excuse for the delay of the past month and we will be reviewing our installation process to make improvements to mitigate this in the future. Again, we apologize for your experience and any lack of communication. We will be reaching out to you promptly regarding this issue. Sincerely, Dan"

Fabulous!  They gave us very detailed instructions on plant care, followed up, and even came out 6 months later to look at the plantings!

It took them about 2 1/2 mos to do the work. They tore up our side yard pretty badly because of all the rain we had. We had to have them come back out to resod that area. In general, it was difficult to get them to answer the phone. Communication with them from beginning to end was a source of frustration with us. I also think they were subcontracted with another group and we would get calls from the subcontractor on payment, and we'd point them back to Frisella. It took them a while to get our in ground fertilizer put in as well, and they had to come back out and do that.

They did an AMAZING job! Ver professional and attentive to the last detail. They left the site looking like it could be in a Homes and Garden magazine! They helped me design and chose the right pavers with a natural look that I wanted to maintain and did a great job adapting to the space. The damage to the established plants was minimal even with limited access for the equipment. They even replanted some of those they had to move! The crew was hardworking, clean and very easy to deal with.... The job was done so professionally with no cut corners and down to even sweeping the garage when done! I can't say enough about the professionalism and attentiveness of this outfit! Highly, highly recommended!

Over all I had a really good experience with Purcella nursery through James’s representation.

The project I had was split into two phases, fall and late spring. I have two large planter boxes in the front of the house and 3 larger planter boxes in the back of the house. Horticulture is not exactly my specialty so I needed someone who had a deeper knowledge in design than I and from a reputable nursery with a wide inventory of plant options.

After my second meeting with James I was confident in his judgment and character and let him design the project completely. After taking into account the irrigation, soil quality and shade variables, James was able to recommend a design, using a wide variety of perennials and annuals that fit the space, theme and poor sun exposure. It took him and his team couple of days to complete the project as rainfall and competing projects from other customers disrupted their progress a bit. I knew of that probability going into the project though.

The end result was brilliant color, great textures and fantastic flow. His team of landscapers were very knowledgeable, respectful and great to work with. I’m looking forward to a maintenance agreement moving forward for pruning and fertilization.

They had a good variety of plants. They provided me with good information. They were able to answer my questions about plant care. They had the plants that I wanted. I think that their prices were a little high.

I used the team at Frisella Nursery to redo an entire part of my lawn a few years back. Frisella Nursery was very creative and the work they do is very unique. I was very happy with the work they did and I would use them again in the future.
