We hired FGS to transform our patio/courtyard to all hardscape project along with a walkway to our front porch. We were so impressed from the beginning on how they stepped us through the process of what we regarded as a large project. They all listened to us along with giving us expert advice and optional enhancements which we did do. As a result, our project turned out beautiful. We also wanted to replace an old trellis and an independent very talented woodworker was recommended to us.
What a fantastic team and what a fantastic experience!

Such a beautiful nursery! It’s a great place for families — there are cute animals, swings, and slides, and the decorations are perfect for photos.

The staff are super nice! Today on Halloween, Ms. Tressa gave my daughter some hay to feed the little goats and the donkey, and she even gave us a fresh egg at the end! We’ll treasure it forever! ??????

Beautiful spot, they have everything! I love getting my house plants from here and walking around to see all they have to offer. Fall decor is beautiful and they even have little activities for the kids with trick or treat stations and I believe I saw a scavenger hunt.

First time visiting as I’ve recently begun my collection of indoor plants. The employees were friendly as far as the ones I spoke with, and Naomi (hope I spelled it right) was the person who guided through the process and offer some recommendations. Very helpful and knowledgeable. She also allowed me to capture some photos of the beautiful plants that I could add to my review. The animals were cool to see as well. Definitely plan to visit again for my gardening needs!

This review is mostly about their landscape maintenance and irrigation services. The landscape design team did a really good job for us replacing a tree and incorporating it into a new design in the front yard. That's the only reason they get even 3 stars.

For landscape maintenance, they routinely skipped our backyard despite us reaching out to our contact multiple times. As you can see from the photos after their visits, they left behind weeds, and even little saplings. When the team came to do our yard, they were typically there for less than 15 minutes, and the results showed that.

For the irrigation work, they used a partner, but they gave us a quote of over $14k to replace our old irrigation system with 4 lines of detail about what would be covered for that money. When we asked for more detail they said they don't provide details in writing, just over a call. $14k is way too much to spend without really knowing what you would be getting at the end. Especially because when they did the landscape design we got a drawing of where things would go and a list of all the plants to be used, so that we could be sure that what we were paying for, was what we wanted.
