I was able to speak to a manager at the greenhouse where I informed him that I want nothing more to do with his company and I hoped that he could better train his employees in handling calls. I am no phonetics expert but no part of Saturday sounds like Thursday. The managers response was that it was unfortunate to loose a customer but it is "just one of those things in life that happens". Those are the exact words as I write this review just minutes following our conversation. I am certainly upset with Shadyhill and in my small way I will pass along to several of my close friends and neighbors who do frequent the Greenhouse and make them aware of my experience as well as to make those aware who read this to take caution in certain aspects of this company. In the end I suppose this too is just one of those things in life that happens.

We had a rough idea -- blow out a wall, build an addition, and get a new kitchen. Lenny took that input and designed an amazing space that incorporated all the features we wanted, and many that we never considered. He knew what to ask, he knew what was needed, and he knew how to explain it all to us. Lenny also knew how and when to tell us that we probably wouldn't like some of the things we said we wanted, and he was right. We asked for a lot of windows in the south-facing wall, and he designed a lot of windows, but less than I had imagined. But when he layered in the cabinets, the skylights, and the sliding door, it came out perfectly. More would have been overkill. It's hard to imagine how a kitchen could have been built TOO brightly, but he kept us from doing that to ourselves. He also rolled with the changes. Somewhere late in the process I wondered if we could put greenhouse windows in the basement. He came up with a plan that was, once again, better than the idea I started with, and the result was simply great. We're still astonished by the fact that everything went according to schedule. I mean, to the day. Lenny gave us a schedule in November that told us what day in March the job would be finished, as well as what date the old kitchen would come out, the new floors would go in, the cabinets would arrive, and the plumber would be done -- and every date was exactly accurate, despite storms and other incidentals. The guy got everything done exactly as he said he would, when he said he would. And maybe most importantly, he took responsibility for his subcontractors. If something wasn't perfect, he got the source to make it perfect. Even three months after finishing the job, he took charge of getting an electrician to troubleshoot a late-emerging problem (which turned out to be totally unrelated from the work his people did). And he keeps in touch, asking how things are going, does anything need attention, and are we still satisfied. We are definitely still satisfied. I don't think we'll ever need to do another job on the scale of this one, but if we do, Lenny will be our first call, without question. We approached this project with a fair amount of worry because of the scale and the amount of money we'd be spending, and because of all the horror stories everyone hears about lousy contractors. Lenny made every single one of those fears go away. Absolutely nothing bad happened, and the finished job is absolutely great -- it has literally changed our home and the way we use it. We're totally delighted and have absolutely no beefs, knocks, or regrets. How many builders get recommendations like that? None other that I've ever used.

I have always done business with this company in the past but this bout of incompetence has finished that relationship. I called yesterday to order mulch delivered to my residence for the following Saturday and to be delivered in a very specific location in my driveway. Alas the very next day...

FAQs for greenhouse and nursery service projects in Woodstock, NH
Buying plants from a nursery is one thing, but ensuring that they are properly planted is another. While you might not need to hire a landscaper for every plant that you buy from a nursery, it’s a great idea to have their expertise and experience to plant larger items, like burlapped trees or specialty plants like rose bushes. Even better, before making a trip to a nursery to buy new plants, consult a local landscaper to test your soil for pH levels, soil texture, and phosphorus and potassium levels to help determine the best plants for your area.
Garden nurseries offer many plants to make your home and garden flourish. In-container plants are one option, including perennials, annuals, and small shrubs or trees. Large hedge plants and roses are called bare-root plants, meaning they have not been potted. Finally, you will see some burlapped plants, typically larger trees and shrubs with burlap wrapping around the bottom.
The best time to plant is between spring and autumn. Springtime weather is typically mild and is when nurseries start to bloom. When the summer weather arrives and it’s hot out, it’s best to avoid planting bare-root plants, but you can still plant many in-container varieties. The first sign of fall is another great opportunity to plant biennials if you live in southern states, or a lovely vegetable garden up north.
If you’re hiring a landscaper to plant the garden of your dreams, you do not need to provide them with plants that you bought yourself from a nursery. While you certainly can provide your landscaper with plants, keep in mind that some nurseries provide discounts to landscaping companies, therefore potentially lowering your materials cost. Beyond the cost of the plants themselves, you need to have additional materials like topsoil and mulch for the project. Most likely, your landscaper can get a discount on these materials as well, so it’s worth speaking with them before making any large purchases.
While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:
Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season.
Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring.
Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.
Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location
Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.
