I highly recommend Wapsie Pines! They pruned bushes in my back yard & took the time to listen & take into account how I wanted them to look. When they completed the task it was like they had never been on my property; everything was cleaned up & the bushes looked incredible. THANK YOU!

So sad. I really wanted to do business with them. In 2019, I asked for a design and quote for a job first thing the following spring. I never got it after having met with the designer and repeatedly following up. Again, I called in Spring of 2020 and met with the designer again and was promised a plan within two weeks. Weeks rolled into months and I never got a plan. I spent my money elsewhere. Despite being ready to forgive the first mistake and keep moving along.

Great place to shop or work! I love the people I work with and the environment. No day is the same and we always strive to do better. I love watching the nursery and greenhouse grow each year as well. The company invests in their employees and want you to be around for the long haul!
