Our Nursery Headquarters in the Fall

Our nursery tree farm is located on an old 38 acre dairy farm in beautiful Snohomish, Washington. Nothing grows nursery trees like an old dairy farm. We also have 30 acres of flat, fertile ground along the Snohomish River. We sell thousands of beautiful trees each year. We don't sell hundreds of varieties--we sell the trees that we know, and grow, well.

Michael S. Gillie, Founder & Manager

We started nursery operations in the Spring of 1995, and since then our business has "grown" in every sense of the word--nation-wide shipping, additional acreage along the Snohomish River, an enhanced website, more emphasis on "Instant Privacy" trees, delivery and planting for both residential and commercial projects, and our "Cliffhanger" Program. Our goal has always been to provide responsive service and high-quality nursery stock at reasonable prices. Today, we are very proud of the fact that a substantial amount of our business is repeat customers--which shows us that we have been meeting that goal.

From our Snohomish, WA location, we deliver and plant trees statewide. We sell retail & wholesale, for residential and commercial projects. We specialize in Privacy Trees and selected ornamentals. More information: Privacy Trees Ornamental Trees

We are a tree farm, not just a nursery. Buying directly from a grower gives you fresh trees, great selection, and low prices--you maximize your purchasing power!. More information We’re conveniently located just 15 minutes north of Woodinville. We’d be happy to have you out. More information

We’ll help you determine which trees are right for your project, and provide you with free, no-obligation estimates. Where necessary, we will send our Arborist out to review the project (no charge). More information

We don’t require any money “up front”—you only pay when the job is completed (unusual exceptions to this are special projects or lengthy “holds” on trees). Be careful of contractors asking for “up front” money.

When we plant your trees, we include staking (if necessary), transplanting fertilizer, and an easy-to-use watering system that hooks into your garden hose. More information. We also give a one year Warranty on trees we plant, also for no additional charge. More information

We pride ourselves on our Customer Service—real people answering the phone. We have an "A+" rating with the Better Business Bureau and a 100% satisfaction rating with eBay. We have a detailed “Care of Your Trees” section of our website and are available for ongoing support after your trees are planted. More information

We’ve been in business since 1995 and have a dedicated, experienced staff (including an Arborist). We are a registered Washington State contractor (License Number: NURSEL*956J1). More information

Most important of all is what our customers think of us:

"I am really pleased with your work. You saved me several thousand dollars, steered me away from trees that wouldn't work, provided healthy and beautiful trees, did a great job planting them, and did everything on time and on schedule. You can quote me." Jo, Vashon Island

"For quality vs. value, your trees are the best landscape purchase I’ve ever made." Jeff, Seattle

"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the shrubs will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them. You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly, polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!” Ryan, Buckley

"I work in customer service so I know good service when I experience it and you have my top rating. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs new landscaping. Thanks again.” Carol, Camano Island

"By the way, the trees were a great privacy feature when we sold the last house! We now have a much larger space . . . " Katherine, Fall City

“My compliments to your crew. We’ve had a lot of contractors working on our house recently and we’ve seen the entire range; and your guys were excellent. The trees make things look so much better—I started smiling as soon as I saw them going in." Holly, Queen Anne

"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my”! Suzanne, Tacoma

"I don't think I've ever been as happy with something I've purchased." Sarah, Sammamish
