We have been doing business with Farwest Landscape for more than thirty years. They have helped us landscape two homes and have sold us countless plants and garden equipment. ****** Fix and his staff have been consistently helpful and courteous. Several times they have replaced shrubs or trees that didn't make at no cost. Several years ago their crew did a major landscape change in our garden that turned out superbly.Last month we had some additional changes made including replacing lawn with shrubs and altering a stone wall.

We have been using FarWest for years. The selection for perennial plants is as good as any place in town. Ornamental tree selection is also great. We have purchased a couple fruit trees and a few Japanese maples over the years and all are still alive and doing great. We appreciate the knowledgeable staff and their eagerness to help nail down problems. The only real complaint is their plants seem to be a bit more expensive than some of the other garden centers, but the customer service makes up for it.

They were fantastic. The work, the product, the people. And since then, I have a direct line for any questions I have about my plants.

This was our best garden center experience this year! We had just walked onto the lot and immediately had someone ask if they could help us. We had a huge list of items to purchase and she helped guide us around the garden center and gave us suggestions and tips. She was so friendly with our little kids and just a dream to work with. We really enjoyed our experience and are going to skip the other places next time around and just head to far west!

Inside out: their parking lot was full when we got there, but we parked next-door in FarWest designs. It's a beautiful place to go just to look, they have such a huge variety of trees and flowers, yard art, pretty much everything I could possibly imagine needing for outside. The plants looked healthy, the trees looked healthy, overall everything seemed well-maintained.
Staff: we got asked several times if we needed anything, when we asked a question about a tree, we got fast and friendly help!
Overall: I have no idea the cost of their services, their prices seemed a little high but likely
