This fall I will be moving to the Twin Cities to be near my daughter and her husband, who moved to St. Paul a year ago. It will be apartment living, so for the first time in decades I won’t have a garden. Except for container gardening on a deck. Hall’s has been my go to place for trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals while I raised children and retired in Summit and now enjoy condo living in Berkeley Heights. When I met Peter Simone at our mailboxes he said, “Are you the lady who gardens?” Yes, I am the lady who gardens in condoland. I’ve planted three trees from Halls, a box hedge, a kitchen garden (the view from my kitchen), the slope behind my unit. You should see my row of splendid Viburnum ‘Shasta’ just turning their fall color. I’ve always been able to rely on your advice and your well-chosen stock of greenery.

Thanks for making my yards into gardens. You and Alison are the best.

I received exceptional customer service from one of your employees named Tracy that works in the florist department. Today is the 1 year anniversary of my Mothers passing. I live in Northern Virginia & wanted to put flowers on my Mothers grave. When speaking with Tracy she took care of the order & she volunteered to bring it to the cemetery on her way home from work. Apparently she knew my Mom when they worked together at another florist. She also text me a picture after she put them at my Mom’s plot. Today is a very sad day for our family. I am very thankful for the Above & Beyond customer service I received from Tracy today!!! You are lucky to have employee like her to represent your company. Keep up the good work.

Halls Garden Center – 5 Stars !!!

We have been purchasing shrubs, plants, mulch etc from Halls Garden Center in Berkeley Heights for over 15 years and they have always provided outstanding advice and service.  So when we wanted to redesign the landscaping at our new house it only made sense to contact them for a design consultation.   They provide a top quality design, incorporating all our needs including deer resistant plants and shrubs and just the right amount of color to make you look twice.    The pricing was excellent and we could either have them install it or we could do it ourselves.    When we were ready to implement the project we decided we would install it ourselves as part of a family project.   We called Bob and Donovan our designers and asked them how quickly they could deliver the materials (over 200 plants/trees) and they were able to deliver almost everything that night.  They answered all our questions as we were progressing with the project, provided outstanding advice as usual and now we have an amazing landscape design at our home.  We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend Halls for all your garden/landscaping needs.

Dear Allison and Tracy and all of my friends at Halls,

On behalf of everyone at Camp Jotoni, thank you for your beautiful, generous donation to the 40th birthday celebration next Sunday. I will be telling everyone how much I love Halls!

Not only are they personable and helpful, the flowers and shrubs are gorgeous! Halls was very generous with us when my son did his Eagle project at Little Flower. Top notch all around!

Hello Bob,

Just wanted to pass on the rave reviews from Holly about your plants …. We really love them, have great spots picked out, and are looking forward to watching them mature over the years. In addition, your staff did a great job of loading the truck; the plants made the trip in perfect condition.
Thanks again for all your help, and best wishes for a successful spring season!

Warm regards,
Bill Wheelan

We have been clients of Halls Nursery for almost 15 years. During this time, I have come to rely upon their guidance on matters both small and large. I appreciate their combination of talent, business values, personal honesty and drive to seek out the unusual and highest quality plant stock for their customers. Bob and Tom stand behind their commitments.

We have redesigned every area of our property with their counsel. Our neighbors compliment us, people walking by and even drivers stop to enjoy the view. It is not an exaggeration to state that I would give them a blank sheet of paper at any time and trust them to re design anew.

Bob, Tom and the rest of the Hall(s) family,

Michelle and I are thrilled that you’ve helped us with the final piece of our puzzle! Our new patio was installed beautifully, on time, using top quality materials, with the meticulous attention to detail we appreciate and have come to expect from Hall’s Garden Center. From design to preparation to completion, we were guided by your expert hands.
Thanks a million!

~ Dan Bartiromo

Hi Bob,

We are thrilled with our tree! I have been trying to find one on the East Coast for a year, and am really impressed that you were able to do so. And so quickly. Now if we can just keep it alive! If you are ever in this area, come see us in Rectortown. And meanwhile I look forward to visiting your nursery. Thanks again so much. It was great fun dealing with you.

All best,
Feroline Higginson

Dear Ken and Allison,

I recently purchased 5 yards of Riverbed stones. After starting to dig into the pile, I noticed that the quality of the stones did not appear to be as good as I had experienced in past deliveries. I have been a customer for over 30 years and have never had any problem in the past. I needed at least 5 more yards and did not want to go elsewhere. Therefore I called to inquiry about the quality of the stones and the reason for the difference. My inquiry was handled in a very professional manner by Allison. Ken was dispatched to investigate. He was extremely polite and professional in his manner. He offered a fair and reasonable adjustment.

I am very pleased with the professionalism shown to me. In addition to our household my daughters do business with Halls on a regular basis. We will all continue to be good customers. I commend you for your customer friendly approach to doing business.

Very truly yours,
Thomas P. Vitolo

Trees grow, thanks to Halls

To the editor:

On behalf of the Berkeley Heights Environmental Commission I want to warmly thank Hall’s Garden Center of Berkeley Heights for all the advice, expertise, support and generosity that Hall’s has given in our efforts to plant trees this spring at the township’s schools. The customer service is outstanding, the recommendations for varieties were excellent.
We look forward to seeing the trees grow and beautify the school properties.

We buy all our gardening supplies and plants at Hall’s Garden Center because of the excellent customer service and advice we get here. We really get great help selecting the right shrubs or plants for our property, sun exposure, soil conditions and deer traffic. They have been a tremendous help to us since we have had to replace a number of failed plantings installed by a different landscaper. When we have questions, we get the answers we need whether it’s what plant to select, how best to plant it, or even diagnosing and eradicating an insect problem. Delivery and installation services have also been excellent. They even made holiday wreaths for us in December! We’re glad we found Bob, Eileen, Allison, Tom and the rest of the staff at Hall’s who are helping make our front and back yards look great!
