Landscape Project Portfolio

"Nowadays you don't find the kind of customer service that you did in the old days. I felt compelled to let you know what a fine nursery you have and what great people you have working for you…I called four nursery/ landscapers to give me a bid and Classic Nursery was one of them… I think first impressions mean a lot and from the first call I made to your nursery to the end I was impressed with everyone I dealt with from Classic…So many times in business you do not get the customer service everyone deserves and in this day of computers and answering machines it is nice to have a receptive response from a service oriented business like yours."

Garden pots

When we do pot arrangements, we can either specifically describe the pots to be installed or we will give you an installation allowance and a big list of pots to choose from. You can go and visit with your pots with a purchase allowance in hand and- if the selection fits the space, we will install it soon thereafter. Most quotes are turnkey and include procurement, delivery and full installation with a variety of hardy recurring color plant materials. Here's a tip: Bigger is almost always better.

Services Provided:

Planting Beds
Planting is what you think of when you think of landscaping, and nobody does it better than we do. We bring perennials that recur every year, beefy, robust evergreen plants that last all year, and fabulously colorful deciduous shrubs and trees as accents. We have acres of plants to choose from and a uniquely flexible way of working that allows you to "see the plants before you start."

As one of the largest purveyors of Cedar Grove compost in the county, we also rototill or hand-turn your bedsand fertilize all of your new plantings. Best of all, we guarantee it all for one year and offer you a discount card when the dust has settled to shop at the Nursery.
Miscellaneous
We can also coordinate the construction of all types of outdoor amenities, from pools to sport courts and spas.

Working with us to design this type of construction offers some distinct advantages for you as a client. We design the feature to fit within a budget framework and solicit competitive bids on your behalf as part of your landscape architectural design package.

Most importantly, these features fit within the overall site design, integrating with planting and other construction. We show you how to stage this effort to minimize site damage and perform the construction efficiently.
