Great people, great work! I love the landscaping they did for us. I purchased a design from them. They were willing to work with us to swap out plants for those I wasn't a fan of. Dave brought several other plant options with him when he came so I could pick out different ones to substitute for any I didn't like. the end result is absolutely lovely, and the pricing was great too. I will definitely work with them again.

Met the lady at the Chadwick sale looking to purchase a tree. She was pretty condescending and short with my wife and I as we asked questions. After talking with her about a particular tree for 15 min someone else walked up and picked up the tree, she didnt stop them and said to me, youll have to work it out with them. Id stay away. Very sad they treat people with disrespect.

The Dannahers have been growing some of the finest specimens and cultivars in central Ohio for decades. When you buy from them, you know that the plants are going to thrive because they have been raised here, not trucked in from some other zone and crammed into the 1 gal. pots. Their selection of dwarf conifers, Japanese maples, dogwoods, and varigated trees is truly unique. I would call them my best kept secret, but I love their nursery so much that I can't stop recommending them to friends and family!
