I visited Becky at Outdoor Specialty nursery and she helped me select a gift and planted it artfully for my trip home. It sits on the doorstep now as a reminder of good people and places to visit in the future

Ordered 8 pallets of Emerald Zoysia last summer from Outdoor Specialty. Had 4 landscapers all with a decade, or more, of experience in the industry collectively agree this was the best sod we had all ever seen. It was all cut symmetrically from top to bottom on each pallet. I could count on one hand how many pieces broke apart. The thickness of every square was perfect and the dirt on each piece was clean and looked to be very nutritious for the grass to grow in. This was the only time I watched multiple grown men taking pictures of individual pieces of sod to post on social media solely to brag on and show how premium it was….i have no other experiences with Outdoor Specialty and do not know anyone there but I can assure you I will be this year and moving forward. Literally this isn’t exaggerating and everything I’ve stated here is real and actually happened.

I have been a customer of Outdoor Specialty for 20 years. They are honest and reliable people who are engaged with the community. They have a great selection and helpful staff! Couldn't recommend these folks more. These folks are local not some corporation who cares nothing about you.

I enjoy shopping here and I’m picky about my plant nurseries. They have a good selection of plants and pottery all at reasonable prices. If you are on the fence about shopping at a local nursery or a big box retailer - I’d recommend this local nursery for healthier and prettier plants plus a better selection.

Large selection with lots of choices. I found them to be just slightly more pricey, but they have a lot, so it could be a one stop shopping for your garden needs.

SUPER friendly and knowledgeable staff. The manager, Kelson, always helps us so much. Even when we’re in a rush or just needing specialty advice. They treat you like family here. And best of all, they have affordable pricing for the most beautiful selection of flowers and exotic trees.

Always deal with the associate that I met my first trip there. She is good in suggesting plants/trees to suit my landscaping. She is a good listener. Also, I get good references to help landscape my home area. Fruendly, helpful staff.

The people at this store are so helpful! I’m always happy with my service, especially when Maggie helps me purchase the plants I need!

Staff was helpful (I'm a novice). We found some great fruit trees and got tips for caring for them. I'll buy more from them!
