Landscape appointment 5/29, husband left work (in Pella) two hours early for appointment in Ames, Earl May landscape designer was a no call and no show. Called Earl May in the afternoon for next steps or rescheduling information, was told we'd receive a call the following day. One week later, still no call back, and no answer the two times I've called the store since. Terrible service.

The staff was knowledgeable when I asked for bird seed recommendations. We had a very nice employee help us load mulch into our truck. Great shopping experience!

I bought two succulents and an alocasia polly that I was excited about. After I got home I realized that they were all heavily infested with mealy bugs. Make sure to thoroughly inspect plants before purchasing here, the alocasia polly and succulents were even displayed far away from each other in store so itβs safe to say that most of their plants are not free of pest.

Over the years, I have successfully kept ALL my plants alive and healthy but am still horrible at transplanting them. Yesterday, myself and another customer received the worst customer service ever! I walked in the store with my purple waffle plant and new hanging pot. The new employee did not know Earl May provides repotting services without purchasing a plant or pot for a fee. His boss, an older man, told me that I had to buy a pot. I explained to him that I paid a fee two days ago and am a regular customer. He was clear that he would NOT repot my plant without a purchase. I asked this supervisor to contact the owner because he knows me as a regular customer. After this statement, the supervisor begrudgingly repots my plant. Another customer who was admiring my plant purchased a miniature size of it and asked the supervisor to help her find a larger pot. He told her several times that she can keep it in the pot it's in but if she changes her mind, then she can come back to have it repotted. He neve
