Landscaping reviews in Lexington, Kentucky

Just left King's with my 1 year old and my husband. I wanted to take my husband to get him more herbs and vegetable plants for his new garden for Father's Day. We had been to Michler's and Pemberton's and wanted to try out a garden center closer to our home. We just moved to KY from SC and I was also on the hunt for flowers for our new home. Sadly as I strolled around with my daughter, I was constantly ignored only to have workers walk right past me to ask other people if they need help. This happened the whole time we were there. We really didn't feel welcome and don't think we will be returning.

Needed help designing a bed in front of my home. Ian was a huge help from giving me layout ideas to picking out the right plant combinations. Appreciated his expertise and excited that I left with a plan to get the look I had in mind but didn’t know how to pull together.

I went to this place on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon found a bench I really liked. Went back on Thursday and was gone so asked if could order one and was told would not order anymore until they got rid of some of other inventory. Went home found online a hundred dollars cheaper including tax and free shipping. Lost a 500.oo sale because wouldn't order one for me. Try to shop local..guess I'm going to have to get on internet shopping more often

King's is a very nice nursery...it's a bit pricey, but I've had good luck with my plants from there!

Ian and the rest of the staff are genuinely the nicest people in the business. They have every plant you're looking for, and the ones you didn't know you wanted. Look in the reduced price section, you'll find some real bargains there.

P.s.

Their landscape crews rock.

Wow! Kings garden did some landscaping for me and transformed the entire look of my yard! Ian‘s design was affordable, useful for my floral business, as colorful as I requested and my favorite part, he was able to relocate some of my current shrubs so they did not go to waste.

I highly recommend using Ian and his team to design your next landscaping project. He worked in my budget and followed up several times before, during and after to make sure that I was informed could care and maintain everything after he was gone. Cheers to Kings Garden!

Very large selection of plants. From little miniature plants to plants like larger trees this place will meet your horticulture/landscaping needs. They carry some of the best brand of potting soils that’s hard to find in this area because it’s from Humboldt County California I guess . The soil is made by Fox Farms. The PH is just right along with all the good ingredients.

Everyone was very friendly, and the selection was good. There were some communication issues on their end, which was very frustrating, and results in a 4-star. But mistakes do happen. And when they were described to the owner/manager, he was very responsive (not defensive), and he worked to make it up to us -- which is certainly not the case at every business.

Great selection, attentive staff.

My son always loves Kings and we love to support local business BUT the no mask wearing is not acceptable. I see other people have commented similarly and the response has been "outside guidelines". However, the staff inside the green house (spraying roundup on the stones) were not masked. The staff outside were also not masked and when they are taking plants out to peoples cars, offering assistance, and moving around customers the "but they're outside" line doesn't cut it. They are definitely not six feet from customers or each other.
There is a State mandate in effect and not having employees mask puts them at risk as well as the customers.
I'm disappointed in this business. We are willing to pay a little more to support family owned businesses, but this is the kind of thing that makes it harder to support small business.

Went to king’s gardens today and was surprised by how unhelpful and rude the staff was. There was one lady working that was helpful; however, the other staff working were rude, unfriendly, ignored our request for a box to carry our plants in and insisted we have a bag instead. Additionally, the prices were above average and the staff were just hanging out and not helping customers. When my partner and I approached them they scattered off as if we had the plague or didn’t want to help. Needless to say we will not be back.

Great selection and great customer service. We were there on a cold day in early spring, and still found lots to enjoy and buy. Prices are in line with a boutique shop--not Lowe's. But so is the quality.

The employees there have always been friendly and usually go out of their way to help or to say hi. Prices can be high, but so are most nurseries. Selection is usually good. I do hate seeing invasive plants still being sold at nurseries though.

King's always has a great selection of plants! I visited their greenhouse and bought some plants for making terrariums.

Very fancy. A bit out of my price range.

Great selection and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The helped us find the best trees for our particular situation. Slightly on the pricey side but not out of line (better than some worse than others) for the local nurseries.

Ian designed our landscaping and did a great job. It has exceeded our expectations. But what sets King’s apart is their service even after the initial sale and instillation. Wes has been fantastic and replaced a few shrubs that didn’t make it. They really make sure you’re a happy customer.

I went looking for some pops of early spring color. While the selection of spring offerings wasn't large, Jacob, ( employee Or owner?) informed me they are expecting pansies and some other spring blooming flowers late next week. He showed me their in stock selections and all employees were helpful with plant education and suggestions for the coming season. Beautiful garden accessories, fountains, houseplants and more. Go out and get some ideas for your garden!

I used to love this place but they are apparently anti mask. I have come twice this year with my toddler and had to leave both times because neither the employees or customers were following CDC guidelines. Will not be returning even after the pandemic ends. Update: you can see their reply but I was inside the little shop when an unmasked employee was talking to my son.

This place has a great selection of plants and really friendly helpful staff. I will say the prices are quite a big higher than other places for some items. Although the vegetable starts were reasonable.

Great place with lots of varieties. The staff is very helpful b
