I stopped by with a landscape plan and said that I needed help with my front and back yard. They said they would get back to me within a few days with a cost estimate, but I never heard back. I tried calling them on three separate occasions and left messages on a machine and with someone but no one ever called me back. Very poor customer service and they lost a potential customer.

** This posting updated July 2, 2014 **
Thayer Nursery landscaped my yard October 2013, providing all services and materials. By spring, the arborvitae were dead. After persistent follow-​up on my part via phone, in person, and social media, Thayer Nursery replaced 8 of the 10 original arborvitae at no cost to me. Hopefully the remaining original 2 don’t merely survive, but eventually thrive.
The other plants, while struggling initially this spring, perhaps because of the late planting and difficult winter, appear to be healthy and growing. These include: rohdodendron, boxwood, holly, japanese maple, blue spruce, dawn redwood, and various smaller plants.
Josh is pleasant to work with. He explained that Thayer Nursery will no longer plant arborvitae green giant after October 1st based on this experience. Their previous cutoff was November 1st.
The work crew was professional and efficient.

I ordered a lot of fire wood delivered to my house from Thayer, and they showed up on time with wood that burns great in my fireplace.

This review is for Thayer’s order delivery service: In an age of instantaneous mobile communication it is inexcusable for delivery service to suck as bad as I what I experienced today. I juggled my schedule to be present for a 1 to 3 pm delivery window and when I called to discover the whereabouts of my order at 3:15 the Thayer employee answering delivery phone inquiries could not have been less surprised, or apologetic in conveying the news that «the driver had just left.» Seriously?! If there are extenuating circumstances and you know you’re going to be late, put the bowl down and pick up the phone!

We bought a cord of wood from Thayer last autumn and, although expensive, it was worth every penny. The cord was a generous one, for starters, and the wood was great — dry, aromatic and burned really well. I will definitely call them again when I need to restock.

Helpful, local and lovely. I went here after my usual go-​to places sold out of collard green seedlings (WTH, before Memorial Day?!). It really was after 5 p.m. on a Friday when I arrived, but they pointed me in the direction of the plants, gently assisted when I didn’t find them (my fault, Friday after school=no sense of any direction or ability to find anything), and chatted with me about the place while I paid up. The prices are reasonable and fair. It’s actually a nice drive there from Dorchester, kind of like a short country-​ish route, and then Thayer pops out of the «wilderness.» How did I not know that this place has been here for «40 or 50 years» as one of the folks there explained. I love finding new places. I bet I’ll be back, as I am hoping to visit the Farmers’ Market, probably purchase more plants, let my joy in gardening spring anew here.

Do not purchase their firewood. I purchased a ¼ cord of wood from Thayer Nursery. I assumed it would be incredible wood because it was coming from Thayer, unfortunately this was not the case. I usually buy wood at Stop and Shop or Cumberland Farms, which always burns well. I thought I would treat myself to some good wood and buy it in bulk so I didn’t have to purchase wood everytime I went to the grocery store. This firewood does not catch. I always start my fire with a duraflame and then add wood. Thayer Nurseries wood smokes and ashes away, it does not catch. At best, it is an ember. I was very dissappointed. I thought the wood at Thayer wood be the best, spending an extra few bucks for a special treat. Total bummer. The wood looks beautiful, but it doesn’t cut it in the least!

This place finally made me register with Unilocal so I could give it a good review.
I live in a house in Cambridge with 2 fireplaces that my girlfriend and I like to use when it’s cold out. With winter coming soon we’ve been looking for a good place where we can pick up ½ to a full cord of word from because having it delivered is waaaaayyy too expensive. When I called them to get prices, I spoke with a very nice lady that told me a full cord is $ 499 & a ½ cord is $ 399. It still seemed a little steep to me if I figured in about $ 80 to rent a truck to pick it all up in, but I was pleasantly surprised. If I paid for a full cord, I could then pick it up in ¼ cord increments! That basically saves me $ 100 more than if I even had got it somewhere else!!!
