FAQs

Bennett Nurseries

Have a nursery-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • Do you take special orders?

    If we don’t have what you’re looking for, we have a special request list. If we can find what you need within a short time, we will call you when the plants arrive.

  • Are you open year-round?

    Yes, aside from certain holidays, we have extended hours during spring and summer. During the fall and winter, our days and hours may be shortened.

  • I’ve never been there, is it worth the trip?

    We have loyal customers and always enjoy seeing new faces! When you visit us, you can expect a relaxed shopping atmosphere around established landscaped beds. Enjoy a complimentary Coke or Dr. Pepper in an old-fashioned glass bottle or even a water while you shop!

  • When is the best time to plant a shrub?

    Most “permanent” trees, shrubs, and perennials can be planted year-round. They need to receive the water they need. At Bennett Nurseries, our selection varies throughout the year, but our busiest times with the most to offer are during spring and fall.

  • How do I plant a new tree, shrub, or flower?

    Here is our checklist: Dig a hole twice as wide yet no deeper than the root ball. Make sure water percolates through your soil (water should not stand in the hole over the course of a few hours). Mix the soil amendment with your native soil (compost, bark fines, etc.) Then fill in the hole around the new plant no deeper than the plant was originally growing. Lastly, apply a slow-release fertilizer and water it.

  • Do you have a guarantee?

    Bennett Nurseries has a “Healthy Plant Guarantee.” We guarantee healthy, viable plants. We cannot ensure their survival in various soil types, extreme weather, or multiple seasons. If you have issues with the quality of your plants, we want to help. We ask that you save your receipt. 

  • Do you offer refunds or exchanges?

    Bennett Nurseries can accept plants for exchange that are in a healthy viable condition within 7 days of purchase (receipt required.) Refunds will be in the form of store credit. Please note that a receipt is required. There are no cash refunds.

  • Do you offer installation?

    Bennett Nurseries does not offer installation. We have a list of local independent contractors that can do it for you.

  • Do you offer landscape design?

    No but we can refer you to local designers for your project. We do offer advice. If you’re looking for ideas for small spaces, just ask us.

  • Do you deliver?

    Yes. We deliver within Madison County, AL. Our fee is $75 per load (whatever fits on our truck and trailer.)
