Landscaping reviews in Boise, Idaho

Yesterday I bought a trellis and asked a young lady that works there what type of flowering (fragrant) vine would work with it. She showed be Wisteria and Trumpeter vine. I asked which would be most fragrant and fast growing she said the Trumpeter plus it would draw Hummingbirds. Enough said. I Rented a truck from Home Depot and picked them up. When I got home I looked the vine up and every reference I read said "highly invasive" and not to plant near houses and/or foundations.

As it was too late to call when I got home, I called first thing this morning at 9:00 am (opening time) and explained my situation; specifically that the would young lady failed to tell me that it was considered an invasive species and that it should not be planted 6' from a house. I explained that it was going to be within a few feet would that allow me to return it and pick-up the Wisteria in place of it. The women said there was a no-return policy but she would ask the owner.

She came back and said she would allow me the return is but there would be at 20% fee. That would have been $50!! I have spent several thousands of dollars over the last two years, and although Madeline (the owner was arrogant and rubbed me the wrong way) after reviewing other posts I will never again do business with her again!! What a disappointment given that I would have spent several thousand more over the next few years as my wife and I are redoing the landscape of the house I just bought.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS TO MY MY WORST ENEMY!

Update 2025
This nursery is still lovely and staff is friendly and helpful.

Their design service has twice failed to follow though. Thus, I would not recommend that service. However, for purchasing plants and potting supply they are wonderful.

Love, love this nursery.

Got great advice looking for a tree. I had many specifications, and nursery staff were very helpful. I needed a tree I could use for a live Christmas tree outside that would be drought-tolerant and good habitat for birds.

Oops! As a customer, be sure to perform your own research on the plants they are selling you. I should have done this.

When I showed up, the 5 people that were standing around, were happy to tell me about how beautiful this plant was and how well it handled the heat.

What they forgot to mention is that it is considered highly invasive and, in fact, is not even allowed to be sold in some other states.

I asked if I could exchange it for another non-invasive species or if there was anything they could do and she quickly said no and told me how she didn’t believe it was invasive.

Anyways… better to spend your money elsewhere with better customer service.

Feels like I am walking through the heaven of gardens. This is my happy place.

Disappointed and Frustrated – Denied Use of Valid Gift Certificate

I’m very disappointed with my recent experience at Madelkine George Nursery. I purchased a $100 gift certificate in 2023, which under Idaho state law should be valid for at least five years. My daughter-in-law attempted to use it during a large purchase—over $500 in plants and supplies—and was refused. Despite the gift certificate being well within the valid period, the owner refused to honor it, even after we explained the situation.

This was not only frustrating but felt completely unethical. It’s extremely disappointing to be treated this way as a loyal customer. We were ready to spend significantly more, but after this experience, we won’t be returning. I encourage others to be cautious when purchasing gift certificates from this business. It’s unacceptable for any business to ignore consumer protection laws and treat customers this way.

Excellent assortment of plants of all kinds, and for all conditions. Expert advice and beautiful surroundings. Prices are reasonable and comparable to the big box store, so support your local gardening store!

While visiting family in Boise for the holidays, we stopped by Madeline George Garden Design Nursery in search of a small fresh wreath for our Airstream — and we couldn’t have been happier. We were met with the sweetest service, warm conversation, and a perfectly sized, beautifully made wreath. Such a lovely gem to find right around the corner. Highly recommend!

Turf Pro has taken care of my landscape for a couple years now and I highly recommend there services!

We are proud to use TurfPro as a trusted vendor at our property management company. We appreciate their attention to detail and the tenants are very happy.

Dustin and Elidio showed up and were very polite, kind, and thorough with pulling out my old bush and putting in my new tree. They even had some seriously hard-pan clay to dig thru and they both muscled they it easily. They even removed some lilac bushes that had gotten out of control. Would hire again in a heart beat!!!

TurfPro Lawn Care has been providing us with their services on two properties now. Always professional, caring, informative, and they just do great work. So thankful for them when I mess the sprinkler system up. But recently, they took out some not so favorable plants for me and put in new ones. They were precise, efficient and so helpful with how to take care of the new plants during this transitional phase. Would highly recommend their services.

Probably the best place to get quality pet supplies and food. I would avoid going anywhere but here for anything from pet toys to food. Everywhere else is going to charge you the exact same for lesser quality. If you love your pets make sure they have access to the best food.

The people here are always super helpful! Went in to talk about grass seed 4 a lawn problem that we have been having and got a lot of good information. Definitely an excellent place to shop for gardening and pet supplies.

Theresa in the fish department was amazing help and had very kind customer service skills. She was very patient while the area got flooded with people and kindly asked the people who didn't need help to relocate to a different area so that the people who did need help could be helped since there is supposed to be social distancing. She then got harassed for doing her job. Thank you, Theresa for all your wonderful help.

Love it
This place is one place that all Idahoans know about and trust and me! It has everything you could want it has pets, a huge amount of pet products, bird feeding products, animal feed, nice Nursery, small pond area supplies, plant feeds pest stoppers, and even more. If you are wondering about anything about plants animal for that matter and pets they are the best in town. That I know now.

I hope this helps.

The guy that I talked to was very knowledgeable with house plant. I learned a lot while purchasing some of the plants there.

I love this place. Very friendly, very helpful, very eclectic, very Boise. I got my best friend here!
