Are they really cheaper? Our competitive shopping says usually not! Additionally, we select strong, healthy plants ideal for our northern Michigan climate; we don’t carry plants that will not thrive in our area. We grow most of them right here in our own greenhouses. Our staff takes good care of those plants while in our care, assuring they receive adequate food, water and ideal growing conditions so that when you take them home, they are healthy rather than stressed. Our experienced, knowledgeable and friendly staff is always on hand to help you select the ideal plants for your unique situation. Plus, we’ll hook you up with plastic trunk liners and help you load them into the car! It’s the personal service and commitment to quality that make shopping at Pine Hill a better value. For a list of the plants we carry go to http://pinehill-nursery.com/plant-categories.php. If we don’t have what you’re looking for, we’ll do our best to get it for you.

One place to start is by checking our our staff picks at  http://pinehill-nursery.com/staff-picks.php. We are around plants every day and are well versed in their strengths and weaknesses. We all have our favoties; some of which you may never have heard of but are well worth checking out. Still have questions? Stop in and we’ll be glad to help you out.

Yes we do. And, we deliver! We have a wide selection of mulches available depending on how it will be used. For most landscape applications we recommend the red-pine bark mulch called Potting Bark. It’s what we use for all of our landscape installations and here at the nursery. It’s a finely milled, beautiful brown mulch which helps build your soil fertility resulting in strong, healthy plants. Our minimum delivery is 5 cubic yards and a truck can tack up to 10 yards maximum in one trip. Not sure how much you need? Check out our handy mulch calculator at http://pinehill-nursery.com/resource-center.php. Prefer to pick up your mulch? That’s ok too. Know that a full-bed pick up will hold approximately two cubic yards of mulch. We can also load a trailer. In either case, it’s wise to bring a tarp to cover the load. If you want to have your mulch delivered, please be sure to call well in advance of when you need it as our driver is kept very busy early in the season. Fridays are especially busy.

Indeed we do! Gift Certificates are the ideal gift for the favorite gardener in your life. Ideal for birthdays, mother’s or father’s day, or any holiday. They may be used towards plant material, merchandise, and are good at either location at any any amount you choose to apply to your card. Unlike other gift certificates, ours has no expiration date; if the recipient can’t use it this gardening season, it carries over to the next. Gift certificates are available during the gardening season at both locations and year round by phone. We can complete the entire transaction over the phone and mail the certificate to you or directly to the recipient. Easy peasy!

There are several ways to find what’s going on at both locations. General information is always available on our website http://www.pinehill-nursery.com/.
