Reviews of local pros in Fairfield, Ohio

If you're looking for a tree or plant that is standout, this is the place. We've bought trees from them in the past and are always pleased with what we find there.

Posting 8 years AFTER Lakeview crew built out my patio/pergola. This project was great, but keeps getting even better with time. Why? Because the helped me select just the right plants, including the wisteria I wanted to create shade over the top. It's now fully mature and so shady, we can even eat on our "outdoor dining room" even in a pouring rain! Love it, do not be afraid to turn Lakeview loose on your yard or hardscaping! It continues to add the value of our home for every day living AND for resale when we decide to downsize.

Love this place!!! I get the best deals on my tomato plants 🍅 Not only are they cheap but healthy and always exceed my expectations. The staff is super friendly and extremely helpful.

Lakeview Garden Center are great people to deal with. Jim and his crew are very knowledgeable, and sell nicely displayed garden plants and landscaping nursery stock. They have a wide variety of beautiful, healthy vegetables, flowers, trees, and other plants. They also have pots and planters, water feature equipment, garden statues and decorations, along with a variety of grass seed, gardening chemicals, and gardening tools. Don't forget all of the big Landscaping job needs, partially including bulk or bagged mulch, straw bales, topsoil, and potting soil. And SO MUCH more!

5 stars! John and crew at Lakeview cannot be beat. Customer service, timeliness, and lastly quality of work is just amazing. Recommend 100%

They are an average sort of garden center. The staff is helpful when they are not too busy as with most any place you go. If it's busy you'll get the help you need but may have to wait for a good while. The regular staff is knowledgeable & can answer your question on most anything you ask involving horticultural concerns from plants, annuals vs. perennials, herbicides & how to treat diseases that your plants & trees can get. I only give them 3 stars because they don't stand out above & beyond other similar businesses in any way because you are able to get the exact same services & knowledge from any number or other garden centers. They do have a good sized coy fish pond indoors though, which you don't see in most places like this. So if you have an ornamental fish pond they may be slightly more helpful in this area, but there are much better places to go for products or information along this line.

I purchase these beautiful bushes from Lakeview Garden Center.

Nice selection of the trees and shrubs

This place has the best customer service! They were so patient with me while I asked 5000 questions. They also did their best to help me pick out what was going to be the most cost effective items. All of their employee's are super friendly and always willing to help you out to your car. I will be doing all of my gardening business here from now on.

I was told to visit here from an employee of another garden center. As a former landscaper I'm hard to impress. With that said they have some really unique stuff you just don't see everywhere. Pair that with very knowledgeable friendly employees. I had lots of questions and they were ALL answered before I left. I bought over 20 plants and trees and couldn't be happier!

On my way home with theses beautiful Perennial Flowers and some other beauties in the trunk. Money well spent!

Staff was very helpful. Brought my girlfriend and 2 kids, picked out about 2 trays (36 plants) the prices were great and the plants are great quality. We will be going back here again from anything we need in the garden.

Owner is awesome, right there helping, love this place, great set up and plants.

They have the best selection of Japanese maple trees in cincinnati.

I bought a large 8 foot Norway Spruce in Nov 2021 for $450 to fill in an area to help block wind, provide future sun block for the driveway, and provide a nice addition to the yard. The install was done in the time frame promised about a month later. The installers did a great job with the tree as it was very large, heavy, and unwieldy to handle with a huge root ball. I appreciate the installers maneuvering the tree with care. They took care to place the tree so it was level in the ground, condition the soil, and trim any that needed it. If one compares this price to a tree purchased from an internet tree site such as Fast Growing Trees, this price is well worth it compared to the cost of trees on that site.

They do have a large selection of your typical garden center plants,trees, and such and staff was friendly and helpful.
The prices for everything are very high compared to other places by all means
Quality is great value for plants and trees but not at their mark-ups..
My mother raves about this business and had gifted me two gift cards as presents of which one they said was to outdated for there system so that was a big loss and the other one I decided to just use for bulk mulch since I just couldn't bring myself nor my wife to over pay the large mark-ups for shrubs or bushes..
They have very good mulch and service if you want to spend your money.
Hopefully my mother won't be gifting me any more cards lol or I'll just regift it or pick up bulk mulch!!

Great selection of quality trees, shrubs and bushes at the best prices. I have been buying my landscaping here for years. Not sure why I waste my gas looking at other places because I always end up back at Lakeview! From delivery guys to assistance at the store, their people are knowledgable and helpful.

Excellent experience! Jon and his crew were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Our backyard is transformed and looks amazing! I highly recommend Lakeview Garden Center.

I recently bought a Buxus cranberry creek (bush/shrub) from this place for about $230. Got home and realized it was too small for the area I had designated for it.. Long story short, I tried to return it and the guy told me IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW to return a shrub 😡. How is this even possible?? I've returned several shrubs and bushes over the years and never had a problem anywhere else. Terrible place… I advise anyone who reads this review not to purchase anything from there unless it’s simple flowers.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice selection of anything anyone would need for their landscaping needs. Pricing reflects the variety of plants and accessories they offer so don't expect Home Depot prices for comparable plants. If you're looking for a tree, shrub or flower....they probably carry it so it is literally a one stop shop. I bought a scoop of crushed granite, a dogwood tree and 2 shrubs in about 30 minutes.

Best greenhouse! Love coming here anytime i get the chance for the prettiest caladiums or any other landscaping needs. Not to mention I'm in awe of their Lotus filled pond in the summer!
