Shipping and Fulfillment Guide

Whether you're ordering a single 1-gallon shrub or coordinating a full-scale landscape install, we make it easy to get high-quality plants delivered right to your door - anywhere in the United States.

Shipping Options

Standard Shipping (UPS & USPS): Smaller plants - including most material up to 7-gallon containers - ship safely via UPS or USPS. Every plant is packed with airflow, moisture retention, and structural stability in mind to ensure it arrives in healthy condition.

Freight Shipping: Larger or heavier items - such as B&B trees, oversized container plants, or bulk orders - ship via freight. Plants are palletized or wrapped for protection, and many freight shipments travel in climate-controlled trucks to minimize stress. We’ll provide tracking and coordinate delivery with you in advance.

Local Delivery (NJ & Surrounding Areas): If you're located near our nursery in Chester, NJ, we offer flexible local delivery options to homes, job sites, or nursery yards. Fast and efficient, this is often the best option for nearby customers ordering large or bulky items.

We aim to ship all standard orders within 24 hours of receipt. However, we’re shipping living, breathing material, so we sometimes delay fulfillment during periods of extreme heat, cold, or heavy rain to protect plant health in transit. We’ll always prioritize safe arrival over speed when weather is a concern.

We strive to maintain accurate inventory online, but we are a high-volume commercial nursery serving both retail customers and landscape professionals. On occasion, a listed item may already be reserved or tagged for another job. If that happens, we’ll contact you promptly with substitution options. If no suitable replacement is available, we can either locate the material through our grower network or issue a full refund.

We specialize in sourcing and shipping large plant orders nationwide. Just send us your plant list, we’ll take care of the rest. From sourcing and substitution to freight logistics and site coordination, our team ensures every order arrives on time and in excellent condition.

Can large plants like 8-foot trees or B&B evergreens be shipped?

Yes. We regularly ship large material via freight. Plants are palletized and protected for transit, and many travel in climate-controlled trucks to reduce stress.

How much does shipping cost?

Rates vary based on size, weight, quantity, and destination. Smaller items ship at flat or calculated rates during checkout. Larger freight orders are quoted individually. We’ll always provide a shipping quote before finalizing your order.

How do I know if my order ships via standard or freight?

If you're able to select "Shipping" at checkout, your order qualifies for standard shipping. If not, it likely exceeds UPS/USPS limits. That doesn’t mean we can’t ship it—just email us the plant name, size, and destination, and we’ll send a quick freight quote.

Do I need to be home to receive a freight delivery?

Yes. Someone must be present to unload and inspect the shipment. We’ll coordinate scheduling in advance. Standard UPS/USPS deliveries do not require a signature.

What if my order contains both small and large plants?

We’ll group your order into the safest and most efficient shipment method. If needed, we’ll consolidate everything into a freight shipment to ensure plants arrive together and in good condition.

What condition will my plants be in upon arrival?

Plants may show mild signs of stress from transit, especially during seasonal temperature swings. This is normal. We recommend planting promptly and allowing a week or two to acclimate. If your material still shows signs of distress after two weeks, contact us with photos and we’ll help assess next steps.

Can you help me source plants not listed online?

Absolutely. We work with a nationwide network of growers and can often locate rare or unavailable items. Just send us your list—we’ll get started.

Can you deliver directly to a job site?

Yes. We ship to homes, job sites, nurseries, and staging areas across the country. Let us know your site access needs when placing the order.
