As part of a huge backyard landscaping project, we decided to purchase ten trees from Bower & Branch. This was our first experience with them and we were a little nervous to spend so much money buying trees on-line. However, because they had such an excellent selection of unique trees and their customer service folks were able to show us photo examples of the stock, we decided to move forward. The shipment arrived in early May with no issues and our landscaping crew planted all ten trees. Fast forward approximately one month and our three 6-7’ Slender Hinoki Cypress were showing serious signs of stress (note: we had not purchased the optional three-year warranty). We were trying to figure out what we were doing wrong (too much/not enough water, etc.) We reached out to B&B’s plant whisperer team and sent them photos of the trees. They recommended that we set up a Zoom call with one of their expert growers. We had the call with Don, their grower, on a Saturday morning and he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He immediately could tell that the tree failure was likely due to a harvesting or transportation issue on their end and not due to tree care on our end. Then, what he told us next absolutely floored us. He said they would immediately arrange for three new replacement trees at no cost to us! This was way beyond our expectations and we were so relieved! Fast forward again to late July and three beautiful new Slender Hinoki’s were delivered last week, have been planted, and are doing great. The bottom-line for us is that it is rare these days to experience such exceptional customer service as we received from Bower & Branch. Every step of the process from start to finish was exceptional. We can’t recommend them enough and will use them again in a heartbeat!
