Overpriced and rude. Don't be fooled by their warranty on plants / shrubs / trees either - they just blame you for not watering them enough. Echter's warranties are longer, they are friendlier, and the selection is better.

David, the owner, asked for blueprints of our home to aid in his landscape design. He never provided the design, but kept my blueprints...month after month I e-mailed and called him only to be put off
I got my blueprints back only after I threatened to contact the Jeffco Sherriff's office and report my blueprints as stolen. I don't know what his problem is but I won't let him near my property ever again

Great selection of things that grow in the foothills! Really friendly and knowledgeable staff, will work with you to get the perfect outcome. I've been extremely happy with every Sundance purchase. When I picked up plants this spring a humming bird followed me out of the greenhouse to the register.

Lots of great stuff and knowledgable staff! It's a little pricey and limited on selection but i assume they limit the plants to things that they know will grow in the area. (I didn't ask that's conjecture.)

This is a fun place to shop around for things for your garden, I know they had plans and things there which we weren't looking at. But they have all kinds of things for the garden and things you can even use in the home. Unique things that you won't find just anywhere. It's worth a stop to take a look at this place for sure.
