4 Reasons to Buy with Trees and Plants

When it comes to landscaping, the choices you make can have a lasting impact on your yard and local environment. Many homeowners look to big-box stores for convenience, but opting for locally sourced landscaping offers several advantages worth considering. From higher-quality plants to better customer service and a more sustainable approach, buying local landscaping can make all the difference.

Better Quality Plants and Materials

The quality of the plants and trees you purchase matters. While box stores may offer a wide selection of plants, they often source them in bulk from large commercial growers, which can result in lower-quality plants that have been mass-produced and shipped over long distances.

Trees and Plants sources our plants and materials from our greenhouse and nearby growers. These plants are high-quality and can be more likely to thrive in your yard. We also offer unique, hard-to-find varieties that are not typically sold at big-box stores, allowing you to create a more personalized and diverse landscape.

Expert Advice

At big-box stores, you may find yourself wandering the aisles trying to figure out which plants are best suited to your specific needs, only to be greeted by sales associates who may not have much expertise. In contrast, we are knowledgeable about the plants we sell.

When you buy from us, we can give you personal advice. Whether it’s recommendations on soil types, plant placement, or seasonal care, our expertise can help you make the best decisions for your landscape. Just email us at support@treesandplants.com.

Environmental Benefits

We focus on sustainability and environmentally friendly practices. We prioritize native plants that are well-adapted to the local ecosystem (in North Carolina!), which can reduce water consumption and help maintain biodiversity.

In contrast, box stores may not always prioritize sustainability. Plants from large-scale nurseries may have been grown with less attention to environmental impact, and many of these plants are not native to your area, meaning they could require more water and maintenance.

Healthier, More Resilient Gardens

A Trees and Plants garden is often a healthier garden. With plants and trees sourced from our local growers, your garden is more likely to thrive.

Plants from big-box stores, especially those that have traveled long distances for a long time, may be less hardy or adapted to your local environment. As a result, they could be more prone to disease, pests, or environmental stress, requiring more care and attention to keep them healthy.

Conclusion

While big-box stores may be convenient, the benefits of choosing us far outweigh the drawbacks. From better plant quality and expert advice to environmental sustainability, there are numerous reasons to buy with Trees and Plants. By choosing us, you not only get high-quality products but also create a healthier, more beautiful garden that will last for years to come.
