Ivandale Farms

Don’t bother if your not a wholesaler or company. Per the owner, they don’t want nor are they interested in doing business with an individual. I wanted to buy a couple of trees and a bush but he said it was not worth their time. They should make this clear on their website. I suspect that this is a hobbyist-​type enterprise.

Like the previous person, we thought we were doing good by going to an actual Arborist who had their own Tree Farm. During the first year we noticed that none of the trees looked well once they were planted in our yards. We did not have a sprinkler touching them and watered just as we were told. We even had their special solution applied to the trees and yard. Since we noticed that nothing looked good, we sent pictures in to Frank, who said they looked healthy. The man who planted the trees came back to spray the special solution we ordered and said a tree that was in shock would recover from the replanting and look great next year. Frank said that the same tree that was in shock just wasn’t being watered as instructed, although we WERE watering as instructed. Well, now a year and out of warranty, two of the trees we were concerned about have wood borers and cankers. So now we are going to be out two trees and a lot of money. Would never recommend this group to anyone. I agree take your business to someone who will stand behind their product and help you keep your trees.
I can’t say any of the trees we bought look great, bummed!

Decided to bypass the landscaping companies and go straight to the tree farm. The first batch of trees we got were ok. They did end up almost falling over after winter, so some had to be tied down. But they are all alive and look okay. We went back again and spent $$ on bushes for the front of our house. Once planted, the bushes were well above the ground, some where almost laying on the ground, dirt was carelessly thrown around. It did not look like a professional had planted any of the bushes. Would not recommend dealing with this company. Also, if you have sprinklers they VOID any warranty on your plants/​trees. I would go with a professional landscaping company that will stand behind their work, and want to keep you as a customer.
