Home Services reviews in Wake Forest, North Carolina

Wonderful group of people, been doing business with them for a few years now, must say service is top notch, also offers a lot of knowledgeable advice as well. Really recommend them in regards to purchasing plants for the long run. Have purchase an assortment of oriental grasses and shrubbery in the past will all of them still going strong, hope the recent grape vines do the same which I’m confident they will.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Mike and his team over at Macon Gardens! It was our first time renovating our landscaping in front of our house. We had received some advice from other local nurseries and Mike was able to redirect us in the proper direction. He went above and beyond to understand our vision, which plants would meet our needs and desires, and even with the exceptional service and quality of the plants, the final amount came to about 20 to 30% less than what we had received as quotes from other nurseries! We refer everyone to Macon Gardens now and want to give a BIG thank you to Mike!

Visited Macon Gardens for the first time yesterday and spoke with Shawn. He was so friendly and knowledgeable! Took his time to speak with us about issues we were having and introduce us to new plants. Even on the way home my husband commented on the excellent customer service Shawn provided!

We recently moved to Wake Forest from out of state. We bought a model home and wanted to redo the builder grade landscaping that was installed. Doing our research ahead of time I came across the Macon Gardens website, read the Google reviews, and I emailed owner Mike, he replied immediately.

We set up a date a few days after we closed for him to come take a look, measure, and draw up a design with plants of his choice knowing the NC climate and sun exposure of our house. Within 10 days he had everything to me via email, a plot plan/survey of our house/lot, beds marked, plant list with pricing, triple shred mulch, what could be saved for replant and what new plants he’d add. I told him I’d go with his suggestions as the professional but I wanted color.

Well let me tell you…Mike delivered! The landscaping looks amazing! Mike set a date a few weeks out, Keith and another guy texted me prior to arrival. The 2 of them worked for 2.5 days removing all the old landscaping, sod and some mulch, and installing the new beautiful, colorful, and well thought out plants, mulch and creating new larger more creative beds. Keith and employees are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and hard working.

I never visited Macon Gardens, Mike handled everything at my house or thru email which is what we wanted. I’m sure it would be fun picking your own plants at his business but frankly I don’t think anyone could have done it better. We are very pleased. We’ve talked to several neighbors, and several have stopped at our house to ask who did our landscaping.

Excellent family owned business. Prices are good for the QUALITY work they do. We will hire them back to do a few other projects with trees. We’d highly recommend them.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and they have everything! I went looking for a very specific plant and they had multiple versions. I loved this place.

Super friendly and knowledgeable younger tall man, he gave his honest opinions and happily told us all we could need to know about trees to help us pick out what was right for us. We love the respectful opinion rather than just being told what we want to hear. And he sure knows his native plants and trees!

Mike from Macon Gardens stands by the quality of his plants. Also a genius when it comes to Bermuda Grass.

I’ve bought every tree in my yard from them absolutely love this place. I hope it continues to do well. Great staff and beautiful plants.

Fantastic garden center, 10/10. Friendly and helpful staff, really impressive selection of healthy plants for very good prices. I do a lot of native plant gardening and was happily surprised by how many they had. I think there's something for just about every type of gardener here. Definitely stop by if you haven't been before.

Macon are a shining reason why shopping local is best! Everyone is always tremendously helpful with anything — making recommendations about indoor/outdoor plants, installation, and even repotting. We are not green thumbs, but they’ve guided us and answered all our questions so that all our new plants can thrive! Highly recommended!

I love love love Macon Gardens! Nicest people ever and always willing to help. If they don’t have something on hand you’re looking for they will try to order for you!

What a gem! ✨️ My mom has been searching for a small Norfolk Island Pine for some time, so we decided to drop by Macon Gardens. We were not disappointed! The plants are all so healthy and beautiful with a wide variety of options. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, and you can tell they pour love into the plants here. It's definitely worth a visit!

Absolutely love this place! Second time so far this year and the workers are so knowledgeable and helpful! They even offer for you to bring your house plant in if you are struggling with it so they can give tips on what it needs. Will be my go to spot!

Great experience here! Everyone was really helpful and patient as I tried to plan my front beds with 2 toddlers in tow. Great selection too, definitely will be back.

Love going here. I trust them. Not just tell you what you want to hear. They give good honest advice. Quality of plants is great and reasonably priced. Always answer any questions. I bought this Juniper to train as a Bonsai.

Beautiful experience, we buy two wonderful plants, thank you for the tips And advices.

The plant selection is outstanding and the staff is both knowledgeable and helpful. Just had a flower bed installation completed and am very happy with the outcome! Keith is customer focused and does quality work. This is the third job that Macon Gardens has done for us and won’t be the last!

I am not one to write reviews but we had SUCH a wonderful experience here that I just had to!! The ladies were incredibly helpful and gave such great advice on how to care for our plants. They also went above and beyond to help us pot one of their gorgeous plants for my mom’s birthday present!! We will definitely be coming back ☺️☺️☺️

I love this place - I've only come a few times, but when I leave I always feel really good about my experience there. The other day my mum wanted to go to a big box home improvement store to buy her annual flowers and hanging baskets, but I talked her into going to Macon Gardens instead (also a safer choice with Covid going on). We went yesterday and were so pleased by their selection, but more importantly the people. We were mostly helped by Carrie (kerry?) who had a beaming smile the whole time. She took us all around the center and was so incredibly helpful the entire time. I feel like she was just happy for helping us as we were for being helped. We left with such a great feeling we were raving all the way home. My mum swears she will never go to a big store again! The hanging baskets we bought were beautiful and really add to the house in a huge way I also went back this morning to get some lobelia and the lady there today gave me some great tips on how to preserve it. These guys are awesome.

I popped in to Macon in search of some unique house plants for my office space. The staff was knowledgeable and offered lots of suggestions and ideas for my space. I also appreciated the fact that they potted all the plants for me too. I plan to do all my landscaping there too.

Awesome staff all around - great Wake Forest area nursery. Premium plants and wide selection. Excited to plant the next makeover.
