Charlotte | Lake Norman

After buying a house for sale in The Peninsula on Lake Norman where, TERRIBLE REVIEW of Paradise Gardens Center in Denver, NC had previously planted 4 Holly Trees at a cost of over $1,250.00 it was to my surprise when all 4 trees died within 3 months of having been planted!
The gardens and landscaping center said that they would give a 12 months warranty on the Holly trees. So I called them up and was told that it was my fault that the trees died as I over watered them. To make a long story short: after weeks of going back and forth with the extremely rude and incompetent staff of the gardens center, I was able to have someone come out to my house to look at the damage. Now they tell me that I did not water the trees enough!
Anyway, they refuse to replace my trees.
So if you are thinking of having any kind of work done to your yard, I strongly urge you NOT to use the services of the Paradise Gardens Center and Landscaping, unless of course you like to be ripped off.
For your convenience and to make sure that you avoid them, they are located at
1612 Hwy. 16 North, Denver NC 28037
