For 49 years my family has, across many states, had a fresh cut Christmas tree for the holiday. This year's tree was in a class of its own. 6 weeks up, she was still green, fragrant and drinking water until we took her down yesterday for the Boy Scouts to haul away. Tree shopping was a delight: hot cocoa for the grands and a warm outdoor fire and chairs set the upcoming holiday stage just right. Many, many thanks! The Kuhlman Family
Recently Bella Terra did some landscaping on our small farm. We absolutely love it. From the meticulous planning with Rebecca. We had a firm grasp of what direction the project was headed. We had a meeting at the farmhouse and "walked though" before proceeding. Rebecca, Mike (I think the owner, and Ashley (a gem) all were present and provided us with insight and wanted to have a vision of what we were looking for. Ashley came back several times to ensure we were all on the same page. The biggest pleasant surprise was in making our vision come to life. Uber, Samuel, Isidro and the project manager Jimi were phenomenal. The attention to detail and careful placement of rocks and other landscaping crafts made us very comfortable. Lastly, we can't thank Ashley enough for giving us useful advice on gardening. We will absolutely continue to use Bella Terra for future landscaping projects. Yin Ajith
Ashley, Jimmi and their team did a fabulous job transforming my bare backyard into a beautiful oasis. From the initial design consultation where Ashley worked with me to transform my ideas into more than I could have dreamed to the professional installation and suggestions from the team, I couldn't be happier with the results.
Great experience from start to finish! We worked with Ashley Games who was very knowledgeable and talked us through the different tree options we were considering and helped us select the most suitable option for our needs. We would highly recommend Bella Terra!
We have relied on Bella Terra for many years. They supplied and installed our natural stone courtyard and walkways, landscaping, outdoor lighting and irrigation systems. They have maintained these systems over the last several years and we could not be happier with these installations. Recently, I contacted Ken, who manages the maintenance services about a lighting issue. Like always, he responded immediately and deployed his crew to investigate and address the problem. It turns out that I managed to cut one of the electrical lines while working in the beds, and Tony and Arial quickly located the problem and repaired it. Ken's leadership of Bella Terra's maintenance activities, as well as Tony and Ariel's technical capabilities are impressive. What's even more impressive is the good relationships that are so easily formed with people who are a pleasure to work with. My compliments to Ken, Tony, and Ariel.
Bella Terra just completed a design and installation of landscaping, lighting and irrigation for our home in Rehoboth. We had a great experience from start to finish. Austin was thoughtful and knowledgeable and created a wonderful plan for us. We visited the nursery to look at plants and materials and Jay was equally knowledgeable and patient in touring us thru the nursery. The crew that installed was considerate and workmanlike and polite in addition to doing great work. We are delighted with the finished product!!
8/6 - We asked for a new plant bed and Deb and her crew, Antonio, Miguel, Marco and Ricardo came out a few days later and installed the bed. They were very nice and worked hard and cleaned up afterwards. Very happy with this service and will continue to use Bella Terra!!
This is the company that does not care. I live in a townhome in Lewes and had a lovely pumpkin vine, full of blooms -- I have been nurturing it and just waiting for all the pumpkins. The landscapers were trimming the large shrubs behind my pumpkin vine--- and trimmed my vine!! One small vine was left, the poor flowers all trampled on the ground... no pumpkins for me. I understand that it was an accident: I don't blame the landscapers so much. But when I called they office, they were friendly until they discovered I just rent at a townhouse ("That is a commercial property, ma'am") and took no responsibility for the problem. They brushed me off by saying they had already spoken to their guys and that my plant is "Fine". I guess if you're not a wealthy customer, they don't take responsibility for their actions. I recommend you find a landscaper with more integrity.
Very nice selection! Very helpful and accommodating staff! We had a situation which wit a product and they went above and beyond to make it right! We arent big landscapers/gardeners but will definitely use again in the spring for our essentials!
Shopped some 50% off on annuals and found some lovely perennials.
Most recent irrigation service was professional and well done as always!
Had a great experience with Romeo and Amar. Prompt and professional is just the beginning. After a brief conversation including my concerns with the irrigation, the two gentleman worked their magic. Zone by zone, adjusting the heads as needed. Most of them did need adjustment, as I had several large areas that were not getting water. One head needed to be moved to get the most from it, another was repaired, one replaced, and we added one new one between the house and the garage for ample coverage. I highly recommend Bella Terra and their Staff for any irrigation and or landscaping needs you may have. They are definitely my go to from here forward. So stop on by today and tell them I sent you.
Just wanted to do a huge positive shout out for Danny, your designer and installer. Everyone that has worked on our project including Austin, Ken and chris have all been awesome. Danny, however has just gone above and beyond. He is always ready to answer any questions we have. He has made great suggestions and helped us to learn abut which plants and trees work well in our yard. Our project cane out so great and we are thrilled. Danny is just all around a pleasant guy and he deserves a raise! :)
First time there, beautiful flowers. Trees, bushes and shrubs
Just a quick note to say thank you to the team at Bella Terra for the excellent service I have been receiving. Garrett and Chris have followed up meticulously to take care of all specific spring clean up chores that were needed to get my property all cleaned up for the new season. Garrett has been a fantastic overall manager and follows up carefully with all of your team members to make sure that the various items are accomplished. He is personable, friendly, and committed to getting the job done right and I really appreciate that very much. Of course, Chris expertly manages the team that comes to the house on a week to week basis. And they always do a great job in executing. Excited for another season in Rehoboth. Thanks again for the excellent work from Bella Terra.
Update may 2024: Keeping at 3 stars. But frustrated that they sold me a diseased Dapple Willow and are not responding to my calls or emails. Wont be purchasing with them anymore. 2022: Not sure where to start ... I guess Ill start by saying that a lot of things were over-promised and grossly under delivered... To the tune of almost $7k ! Great intentions by Bella Terra but in the end my experience was less than good. Even after the project was done, and given all the challenges that we had leading up to that, they still came back and refused to replace 4 of the plants that were very sickly looking. 2 beach grasses were overrun with crab grass and 2 of the barberry bushes were sickly looking .. very small and immature with very few leaves (see pictures). What professional landscaping company doesnt certify their work and product? Well, Bella Terra clearly does not. And for this reason I will not be recommending them or going back for further work. Overpriced. Unprofessional. Sub-par product. But I guess thats what you get when you try to use their maintenance crew (Danny and team) to design and deliver new landscape ideas and products. Its possible that the other reviews below were against their professional landscaping division and not against the maintenance division. My bad for thinking I could get quality work and product from a lawn maintenance crew.
A big thank you to Ken and Tonys crew for reconfiguring and repairing my irrigation system.
Love this place. It is always like a wonderland of plants
I know Bella Terra has won awards and is credited as a reputable landscaping company but I am very disappointed on a few levels: customer service leaves a lot to be desired, I sent three emails, called four times and left detailed messages . to no avail. Finally, I went there personally to tell them that a tree i bought from them, and which they planted only 8 months ago died (it s on my front lawn) and I would like it replaced. Much to my dismay and surprise there is no warranty on trees, well i guess nobody at their establishment thought to tell me that on the onset??? They wasted a lot of my time. Oh, and the tree i spent 90.00 on was planted by their guys for 200.00. it was a very small tree so although 200.00 was steep . what s an old woman to do?? so I went with it. However, the Hibiscus tree i bought died too although I brought it in for the winter. It s a shame that Bella Terra has so much business that they can basically tell their customers too bad and thumb their noses at us . not under warranty I say there are other better landscaping companies that stand by their reputation and their products. Bella Terra has lost my business .. Even Home Depot will warranty their trees for a year! don t shop at Bella Terra! they are too big for their own britches or is it Birches ..
I needed to have some adjustments made to one zone of my irrigation system. I called Bella Terra and Ken promptly got in touch with me. He came out within 2 days with Julio and Romeo. We discussed the issue and decided on what needed to be done. Julio and Romeo did a fantastic job getting the job done and explaining everything they did. I am a very satisfied Bella Terra customer and rely on them for all of my landscape maintenance and irrigation work. Thanks again Ken, Julio and Romeo!
The softscape and hardscape work at our house is almost complete and we want to take this opportunity to tell you how pleased we are with the work and your staff. Rebecca worked with us on a beautiful design incorporating native plants and pollinators; the hardscape crew has done artistic work on the patio and two sets of steps; Ronnie and his crew carefully created beds, planted and mulched; and the irrigation team of Luis, Mario and Oscar installed our boulder fountain today, completing the irrigation work that was done by additional staff in the fall. Everyone was friendly, patiently answered any questions we had and cleaned up the yard each day before departing. The entire crew has been a pleasure to work with. We cant wait to enjoy the patio and see the plants leaf out/bloom in a few months.
The DJ Team was very professional and courteous. Introduced themselves and went right to work on our landscaping project. The weather didn t cooperate so when it cleared, they brought in more help so they could finish on time. The results are very nice and we feel like we just bought a new home!
Great experience. Deb responded very quickly, she was very organized and had great ideas. Their crew was able to start right away, and my yard looks amazing. Highly recommend.
Chris and his crew did a great job on our new flower beds. They removed all existing shrubs and installed new plants based on Austin s fantastic design plan. Due to work on our driveway, they had to park around the corner and make multiple trips to their trucks for material and disposing of old plants. The new beds now have drip irrigation which the crew installed. They answered all my questions and were very professional. I highly recommend Bella Terra for your landscaping design and installation.
I continue to receive attentive and professional services from Bella Terra. All departments including Deb in maintenance, Austin in design, Shana and the other office staff, the maintenance workers, and everyone I have dealt with over four seasons, are responsive and polite and very helpful. I truly appreciate everyone and am thankful for their assistance! My yard is gorgeous!
Bella Terra is a pleasure. They are punctual and hardworking. They leave the property spotless. Best of all, they communicate with you and give timely updates. Deb Small and Antonio Jimenez are outstanding to work with. Highly recommend.
Today DJ and his team came to install 3 additional trees for us. They were professional, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to do an excellent job. They even watered the entire garden before leaving!
Used them for two years for landscape projects and spring cleanup. Their spring cleanup include cutting back shrubs. In second year I asked them them to make a hard cut back of overgrown shrubs in back yard. They came back and said it would be $300 more then regular cleanup price. We agreed and they did some light cutback and shrubs were still overgrown. I called and asked them to come back and make the hard cutback I paid for. The job leader refused. I called his manager and explained the problem, he came back and said it s a judgement call, and we will come back and cut for an additional fee. I told him I was not going to pay them 3 times for the same shrub trimming service they included in their spring cleanup price. So I declined and moved on, and have been very happy with their replacement. Zero customer service.
Our experience with Bella Terra was wonderful from start to finish. Rebecca was extremely responsive to our ideas and drew up a landscaping plan that we love. I can t say enough about the softscape crew- DJ, Chris and Jeremy did such a thorough job -never rushing the work. They always listened and really cared about doing the job right. We had many irrigation challenges and Tony and Julio never gave up. They worked hard to bury downspouts, move irrigation lines and hook up a water feature. The crew was at our house for 7 days and never complained despite some wet and uncomfortable weather. If you want a landscaping job done right I suggest using Bella Terra.
Shout out to Deb Small for her prompt attention to our property. She came out today and walked the property with us to help us figure out how to add some more plants to our year old landscape design. We really appreciate Debs advice and the fact that she responds in a timely manner. Any time we have had a problem over the past year Deb has quickly come on site and checked it out. Deb gives the kind of service we hoped for by contracting with your service department. Kudos!
From start to finish, Bella Terra has created a landscape that turns heads and stops cars passing by to take it all in! We now rely on their crews to maintain its beauty on a regular basis and are always so impressed by the level of professionalism they display. Bella Terra ... if you can find your way into their schedule, grab it!
The staff at Bella Terra were beyond helpful over the phone. They made the process of living states away possible to get my mother in law the best plant and gift card for her future purchases. Thank you guys for being Amazing!
Nice selection of wide varieties.
Great garden center, great selections, great prices, off the beaten path but worth seeking out.
This place is huge and beautiful! Friendly staff knowledgeable tons of assortments
Second time I have used Bella Terra in the past year. The team finished on time and everything looks great. The only exception is they never rang the doorbell to let me know they were here and never let me know when they finished??
Friendly and helpful staff
We have been customers of Bella Terra for a few years and visited their nursery today. The layout of plants and flowers under the trees was outstanding. Really enjoyed the experience as if strolling in a park. Thanks for all the hard work putting this together. I recommend this company. You will not be disappointed!
This place is always clean and they have wonderful ideas
Jay and Brenda were extremely helpful with our plant/tree needs. Love their flower selection!
Went with a friend to look for flowers for hee mothers celebration of life. Guy who worked there approached us and asked if we need help. We asked if they sold flats of flowers and he smuggly answered no walked arrogantly away. He didnt bother to say no but we have these or ask what type of flowers we may be looking for. We continued to look around some after this experience but noone else bothered to come up and help. Disappointing because we chose to go there since they were near home and figured we would have a better experience other than going to a big box store. Boy were we wrong!
I went to Bella Terra and I was wearing my gardening clothing. I had some questions about some different flowers.The guy acted like I was a homeless person and just walked away. They can kiss my business good bye!!
Nice place to get flowers
Wonderful advice. Deb is very knowledgeable & helped guide me in choosing plants & flowers I considered. Justin is also available & eager to attend to maintenance issues Services
I had Bella Terra come out to give me some ideas to landscape my front yard. Austin came out and designed a beautiful landscape. I was so pleased with the front yard I had Austin come out last month to design my side and back yard. I also had Ken come out regarding installing an irrigation system. Again I am beyond pleased with everything. There were 3 crews out and completed all the landscaping in one day. I had a couple of questions regarding the irrigation and Ken came out that day. Tony explained the irrigation and drip lines to me. Great crews, definitely know their work and professional experience. I highly recommend Bella Terra with all your landscaping and irrigation. Thank you all so much. Thank you install team of DJ, Greg, Mike, Nick and Annibal and irrigation team of Tony, Oscar, Julio, Romeo, Chris and Mario. You are all a great asset to Bella Terra!
The crew from Bella Terra was on time, professional, friendly and helpful in explaining their work. They did a great job with the planting, mulching, watering and cleaning up. The plants and tree were healthy looking and full. I recommend Bella Terra for any landscaping needs.
Awsome selection of plant material and great quality. Staff very helpful with information for care and selection.
As a designer I had worked w/Bella Terra on a number of projects and witnessed the lovely outcome. It was time to redo old landscape lighting at my own home so I enlisted their services. Ken and his crew were wonderful to work with. Polite, professional, meticulous on every aspect. Ken listened to my desires, had great input and the crew did an outstanding job. Needless to say, I am very pleased! I highly recommend Bella Terra for your all your landscape needs.
DJ and his crew were very professional in their planting, mulching and clean-up!
We just completed a landscaping design for our Rehoboth Beach home that was created by Justin Bartels and installed by DJ and his crew. I couldn t be happier with the design and the professional manner and care DJ and his crew used in making sure I was COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the project. Several of plants that I mistakenly had them plant in areas where I thought they should be but subsequently changed my mind were replanted by DJ and his crew without complaint - instead, he responded with enthusiasm telling me that he was there to please - to make sure that I m completely happy with the job. AND, I am. Thank you Bella Terra, Justin, DJ and his fine crew. Barry Covington.
TJ and his team did a great job executing a beautiful Landscape Design today that we had been discussing with Danny. Everyone was timely and professional as well as thoughtful and responsive. Thank you Bella Terra for a great service from start to finish!
Danny, DJ and crew helped us select the right trees for our space and did a fabulous job planting several trees for us. Their competence and attitude gave us great confidence and made the experience fun. They made it clear through their actions and words that our satisfaction was their top priority. And, they just couldn t have been nicer. The very next day, Ken made sure that his irrigation crew (Tony and Oscar) came out to get our irrigation system up-and-running to help keep our new plantings well-watered. With mature systems, you never know what you ll run into, and on this visit, Tony and Oscar in a Sherlock Holmes effort diagnosed the cause of trouble with one of our zones, and with great cheer and hard work, got it up and running. We can t thank everybody enough. This is a big deal for us getting all these trees, and it takes all of us to make sure they thrive. Thanks to all!
I am SO IMPRESSED! A relatively new home owner in Rehoboth, I am still navigating finding GREAT, DEPENDABLE and PROFESSIONAL services. Danny and his crew at Bella Terra are TERRIFIC! I had some problematic plantings which needed to be removed and replaced. Danny is so professional and even coordinated a crew to come within a few days to complete the job. OUTSTANDING work!
I have used Bella Terra for a couple of years now and I cannot say enough good things about their service. Freddys team did an exceptional job cleaning up my very large yard. They were courteous and efficient in every way. I would highly recommend them and I certainly will be calling on them again.
This is a great place, very big very well organized very friendly helpful. And a little pricey but they have fantastic selection they have everything from gravel to mulch pavers trees and a very wide selection of plants.
I worked with Garrett and Tony and they both did an excellent job. Garrett covered the new plantings, tree install and lawn repair. Tony was amazing with the irrigation system. Finding a missing zone that wasnt reconnected properly by previous company brought in to repair it and didnt, but Tony, he did fix it, he also rerouted some lines so the plants would get watered properly and repairing broken heads where needed. I definitely plan on using this company again.
Tony and Oscar cleaned our fountain basin and reconnected the fountain pump. They also started up our irrigation system, checked the drip lines for leaks and repaired two leaks. They set the dates and times for the irrigation system. They also inspected all of our landscape lighting and flagged those lights that need repairs. Both men were courteous, professional, and hard working. I highly recommend Bella Terra and this team of technicians. Will Short Lewes, DE
What a great experience this was!! Ken Shupp, Jeremy and Julio did an exceptional job!! Very professional and highly skilled!! Went above and beyond! We love our lights and look forward to working with them again!! Many Thanks
Great place, wide selection, and loyalty program
Wonderful place and staff. They have helped me with native plants, veggie plants, stones for my driveway, compost, and heaps more. Looking forward to their help with some spring projects!
I live in Wolfe Pointe, and the crew is amazing, always going above and beyond to make my property gorgeous, every week.!
Great selection and good quality. The lady in the shop we talked to about tree delievey was unfriendly and boarderline rude. May not go back just for that fact.
Very expensive
Jeremie & Julio did a great job! They showed up early, added a hose bib as requested, repaired a section lost to winter freeze, checked all heads for proper directions. Thanks. Rick Downes Positive
Great place to buy plants! Friendly staff; very accommodating!
Some of the staff are totally unhelpful but the variety of plants is gooy
Updated 6/4/2022, was talked into trying Bella Terra again. Very apprehensive as I drove down the gravel road to the nursery. Was greeted warmly and asked how I could be helped. Explained the landscaping requirements my wife had sent me to obtain; yeah, happy wife happy life kinda thing. Had plenty of help from several nursery people, and actually, seemed like they couldnt do enough for me. Surprisingly, when I gave my last name for the purchase, the worker asked, is your first name Stephen? Either she remembered me as the person who gave a bad review or has an incredible memory. Either way, I was impressed. Hence, I am amending my review to 5 stars. Great job Bella Terra & employees.
Very nice shopping experience. Lots of plants and flowers.
Our first year with Bella Terra . The crew that came to pull weeds and trim were great . In the past I have to worry about other pulling more than weeds .
5
Fantastic!!
Very large selection. Something for everybody here...you wont be disappointed and reasonable prices too.
BJ and his crew did a wonderful job of remaking a section of landscaped bed around the house. The result was better than we had imagined and we are very pleased with the result. Drainage, sod, plants all look great, and they even blew off the walkways around the house! They worked steadily, carefully and make a remarkable transformation in a short period of time. Highly recommend them.
We recently had Bella Terra do a large project for us that included stacked stone walls, a large paver patio with stairs, a paver insert on our driveway and a stone walkway. We can not say enough about Isidro, Sammy and Jovanni who were the professionals that completed the work. Not only was their work a masterpiece, but they also were very accommodating to slight changes if we asked. They showed initiative by coming up with creative ideas to improve the design. The finished product is truly a work of art. They are all easy going and delightful to work with.
this morning it was wet after the rain particularly next to the building the guys took there time and used a push mower instead of the regular zero turn as to not damage the yard, this takes longer to get the task done but they went ahead and took that extra step which shows there professionalism
DJ and his partner did a wonderful job installing 9 arborvitaes. They were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. They left the yard in prime condition. I highly recommend them, as well as Bella Terra, for your project.
We live in Sandstone Community, Ellendale, DE. Bella Terra has done a superb job keeping the community looking really good. They are on time every week, and we have contracted with them for next year as well. Great company to deal with, very responsive. Its been a pleasure.
A wonderful place tucked away from Coastal Highway off of Route 16. Had a huge variety of annual, perennial, tropical plants shrubs and trees. Also a friendly and knowledgeable staff with affordable prices. Highly recommended!
Cant wait till my home is built. They have everything and so close to where Im building. as long as their prices are competitive this will be my to go place
Great selection and prices. Everyone is helpful and extremely knowledgeable.
I went for a visit this weekend for my first time what an amazing selection. Was greeted right away with bubbles for my two girls, such a huge space and so many great indoor plants. Got way to many thanks. Got this beauty for less than $20 !!
Alex and his crew were top notch! Arrived ahead of time with a smile on their face! Dug, moved, planted, and cleaned up in a very timely and professional manner!!!
Always beautiful flowers and lovely trees. So happy with our coral bark maple & Japanese Emporor maple. I always enjoy just walking all around to see whats new. Such a relaxing trip. Highly recommend for indoor or outdoor needs. Staff is always helpful and knowledgeable.
We had Bella Terra install a landscape bed in our rear yard on Monday. The final result is lovely, and I cant wait to see it next Spring. The crew they sent was steadily hardworking, polite and neat. I will use Bella Terra again as we continue to develop our landscape around the house. Highly recommend them.
Very nice service. Took good care of me at a good price.
Ask for Jody. Very knowledgeable great at design.
I recently had a major landscape design and installation by Bella Terra Landscaping. Included also were an irrigation system and sod replacement. I was so impressed by the workmanship of Tony and other crew members. They all worked very well as a team and maintained a steady pace all day, every day. It was apparent that they knew exactly what to do and how to do it. At the end of each day, the the work site was always cleaned and cleared of any debris or equipment. The entire crew were polite and respectful of our property. The end product is a beautiful, transformed lawn with multiple plant and flower beds. Once work started, the project was on time and completed within the timeline proposed. At the end of the project, an appointment was made by Ken to explain the irrigation system and next steps for maintenance.
Everyone in the Bella Terra team was very professional and a pleasure to work with. The quality of the work was tops. We heartily endorse them! Joe and Lynn Boni
Bella Terra completed an amazing job on the first phase of my landscaping project last week. It was a pleasure to work with Rebecca on the design phase. She listened to my wish list and took into to account of my concerns on drainage and irrigation. She had excellent ideas and recommendations for my small yard. The design plan was beautiful for a small yard but not overwhelming. The various team leads and crew were amazing. I had hardscaping done a paver pad for a garbage enclosure with a walkway to my driveway. The paver walkway is beautiful. The garbage enclosure is perfect and attractive. DJ and his team did an outstanding job with the plants in my front and side yards. They even installed my existing lighthouse in my front yard (making sure its secure and will not blow over from the coastal winds) nested in river rock. Tony and Orlando had to deal with my drainage and irrigation issues moving popups and irrigation heads. I believe they also installed the walk lights and spot lights. It was so obviously each team was extremely knowledge in their area of expertise and took a lot of pride in their work. I was really impress how at the end of day the work area was always cleaned up. Day two of my project it rained and I didnt expect to see them, but they were there working very hard. They were all friendly and courteous and answered all my questions and concerns. Im excited to see the plants come to live in the spring. Especially excited to get working on the finally phase of my project. I cannot Thank Rebecca, DJ, Tony, and all teams who work on my project enough for the outstanding job. Im getting lots of compliments from my neighbors on the new landscaping.
The Bella Terra team did an excellent job with our fall cleanup and pruning. As they have done every year! The crew is professional, responsive, and courteous.
DJ and his staff were very professional, timely and knowledgeable about the detailed landscaping project we hired them to do. I am very pleased and highly recommend DJ and his workers for any landscape job! Thanks DJ!
Julio and Tony were great. Good work and conscientious.
Another great job! DJ and his crew were very professional. The install, as usual, was exactly as requested and when they were finished, the landscape looked great! Highly recommend.
The crew who did the work in my yard were prompt, hard working and thorough. Well done!
Very helpful staff! Got some really beautiful houseplants that were very happy and reasonably priced
Jose and his team did a great job spreading the mulch for the spring season. The yard looks exceptional.
We hired Bella Terra after seeing their work at a show house in RB. We had bought a beautifully landscaped but neglected property. They cleaned everything up, made new planting s and have meticulously maintained our yard ever since. When some of the new planting s failed, they redesigned and brought us new plantings. Could not be happier with their care and excellent service. The above was written several years ago. We STILL use Bella Terra because their service has never faltered and their work is beautiful. Any time we have a concern, someone immediately addresses the problem (thanks Deb!!) and the issue is resolved. Our yard has never looked better - even on a rainy day. We would highly recommend this company to any of our friends and neighbors.
Belle Terra is a great company to work with! Every person on the staff is professional, knowledgeable, and so friendly. Cant say enough how much we continue to appreciate our relationship with them.
It seemed like a bother for them to wait on us, and we had to ask three people before we could get a response. We were unimpressed with the quality of their nursery. Decided wed try them out but weve been going to Peppers in Milton for years and we will continue to go to Peppers
Super friendly and helpful staff. With the best designers and crews. Give Bella Terra a call for any landscape, hardscape, lighting, or irrigation work for the best possible service.
My favorite place to find healthy plants. Theres a good variety of plants and a bunch of greenhouses to explore. The employees are very helpful and knowledgable. The prices are fair, not over priced. They will landscape your yard as well.
Great Customer Service. Nice variety.
Super friendly and helpful staff plus a large selection of plants and landscaping objects
Tony and and Julio did a terrific job in startup of our irrigation system today. They reviewed the overall system, repaired several minor issues. The professionally explained the system and the necessary work. Always glad to have Tony and Julio on the job Positive
Excellent customer service
Love it! Laid back and beautiful place for plants and more!
Luis (Tony) with Irrigation was great. Last year when we closed for the year he noticed a tree that was limiting the drip system to the front of the house. He remembered and repaired when we opened this week. He also took extra time to verify each zone and walked me through the control box setup with suggestions on changes as temps get hotter. He also noticed a bad battery and replaced. Top quality, thats why I use Bella. You have a great team, friendly home office staff, do quality work and stand behind your services. Quite simply the BEST!!!!!! That goes for Landscaping and Design Teams as well.
Luis and Tony did a good job explaining what they were going to do. They followed up after initial evaluation to tell us what they found, and they adjusted for minor corrections. They were pleasant and professional.
Great Service. Very polite and professional.
Megan Fransisco and the crew at Bella Terra Landscapes did an amazing job transforming our landscaping from mundane to exciting and new! Megan worked hand and hand with us to design a amazing outdoor setting that we very proud of. The crew made our plan come to life. From start to finish they did everything they said they would do and more. I would highly recommend them! Thank you all at Bella Terra!!!
I am a new customer and I was very impressed with Tony (Luis) and Julio. Today they started my irrigation after introducing themselves. They were both friendly and knowledgeable about my system. They quickly checked the sprinklers and drip system, checked for leaks and fixed what needed to be fixed. At the end they told me what they had done and let me know the timing of my sprinklers as well as the days they set it for.
Class act organization. Great experience from beginning to end. Thank you so much!
Tony and Julio came out and de-winterized my irrigation system and took the time to walk me through what they did and how to program and set up my irrigation system should I want to change the schedule in the future.
I went to their garden center today looking for native plants and some potting soil. They had great prices and great selection. I purchased a lovely blueberry that had a nice mature stem and lots of younger stems and was loaded with early blueberries for under $15. They had a lovely selection of Beach Plums for $20-22 that were a really nice size- both in height and a healthy base trunk. Even though I have a bunch of beach plum seedlings coming up in my living room I had to buy one at that price. My friend purchased two thornless blackberries for $14 and we got our soil and some mushroom compost. / I was on a budget (time and money- I dont have time to plant everything!!!) but they had amazing buttonbush, ilex, viburnum, witch hazel, red twig dogwood, and so much more, all for better prices than a certain garden center of the east coast thats south of me. Very happy I visited and will go again when I have more time to plant more blueberries and more native shrubs.
Very customer focused... From the very first phone call, i have had nothing but positive interactions... shout outs to Seana, Ken, Danny, Jose and Oscar. All have been wonderful to work with... thank you Bella Terra
I had an issue with my irrigation going on and had Tony & Julio come out to check it out. They suspected a cut wire but that could ve been anywhere under ground! I panicked imagining the stress and cost of that but those guys did an incredible job! They could ve easily came back another day and charged me more but they didn t, they stayed and continued to try and find the issue. And when I thought they had left, to my surprise they didn t, they were persistent to figure it out, and they did! It made my day! And they were so kind and polite! This place has excellent customer service and reasonable prices! I highly recommend!
Bella Terra has done it again. We had Rebecca design our new landscaping and Mike and the crew installed it. This is the second home where we have had them do work and we love the finished product. The difference is amazing. They are responsive, respectful and show up on time and work until it s done. True professionals. We also had them reconfigure our irrigation system. Again, top notch. I highly recommend this company if you want quality work done.
As a potential customer, who would have liked to use Bella Terra for a hardscaping project (i.e., add pavers to an 116 x 122 concrete patio), I was appalled when Shanna left a voicemail saying the Director of Operations decided to pass on my project. This is the epitome of arrogance. So, not only did Bella Terra lose my so-called small job, they also lost out on landscaping my property; plus, any future recommendation I was going to provide, not only to neighbors, but to the homeowners association here at Governors. It really is a pity, because once the development is complete, the community intends to replace the current landscaping company.
I consider it a bit pricey but nice assortment of healthy looking plants available
This place much bigger than I thought beautiful plants will come again
Great selection. Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable.
Bella Terra did a fantastic job at our home ! Mike has a great team of guys that get the job done. From the irrigation crew ( Tony and Julio) to the landscaping crew! DJ, Chris, and Jeremy did all of our plantings, grading and top soil, sod, creation of beds, and stone! It was a pleasure having them at the house for a few weeks and working directly with them ! Extremely knowledgeable and personable! Overall great bunch of guys and DJ leads them well ! Highly recommend. :)
Very nice place has great flowers.
We used Bella Terra for some landscapeing. Cannot say enough about them. DJ, Jeremy n Chris were outstanding. Professional, courteous n prompt. If you need work done call Bella Terra n if youre lucky youll get the crew we had.
Such beauty there today!
My job involved construction of two retaining walls, planting new shrubs, and laying down new sod. From my initial planning with Deb, to completion of the job yesterday, everything was flawless. I cant say enough good about Garrett and his team. They were professional, courteous, and did a beautiful job. Garrett was exceptional -- clear communication, thorough understanding of all aspects of the job, and the skills and knowledge that created a beautiful final product! I could not be happier with Deb, Garrett, and the entire Bella Terra team that worked on my job!
Beautiful place! Great selection, beautiful plants, excellent prices!! Steve knows plants and trees.
Bella Terra landscaping was transplanting plants for me and accidentally cut a wire connected to my lighting. Deb sent Tony and Julio to my yard the next day, during a very busy time, and they were friendly, patient and professional and fixed the problem quickly. I so appreciate when a service provider takes responsibility and quickly addresses it like Bella Terra does. I feel like I m in very good hands with them. Impressive!
We are thrilled with our new landscape lighting around our entire house and yard - Thank you Ken & your team for making our home look so great at night. The landscape lighting really is a wonderful addition and our home definitely stands out from the rest of our neighbors.
Super friendly services great products great prices highly recommended for all of your landscaping needs
Had another great experience with Bella Terra this morning! Justin Bartels has been wonderful to work with during the planning stages and now the dream is beginning to materialize. Josea took care of the sprinkler head that will be under the new deck extension and DJ and his team installed a new pop up drain to move the water away from under the deck. Everyone has been on time, responsive and a delight to work with. It is clear that these people enjoy working for Bella Terra and it shows in their results and their attitude. They are proud of what they do and they do it well. DJ calls it the Bella Terra experience that gives you the assurance that the job will be done right. Under the visionary direction of Justin, I look forward to the patio and landscaping that will add to the deck extension and I will sleep well knowing it will be done right. Updated review (June 24) The work is 95% complete and we are very pleased. It is more like a work of art than just landscaping. The hardscape team: Mauricio, Pablo and Josh excelled at laying pavers and building the fire pit and sitting wall. The landscape team: Mike, Anibal and Henry sculptured the beds and even transplanted two mature plants successfully as they dressed up the hardscape. The irrigation team: Jose and Oscar returned to rearrange the irrigation system to adapt to the new plan. Both Justin (the visionary landscape architect) and Jimmy (the onsite project manager) worked well overseeing all that was done. Here are some pictures:
Very good selection, display excellent.
Excellent variety, volume & prices.
Very friendly staff and good selection.
I m very happy with the landscaping design done by Rebecca and with DJ and the project crew. Also, good quality plants and the butterflies are happy also.
Great garden selections and are plentiful?
Awesome selection of plants, trees, shrubs, flowers and all sorts of landscaping supplies. Good pricing. The staff are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Was a very pleasant experience this visit and I look forward to shopping with Bella Terras garden center in the future.
A really great gem of a find.
I hired Belle Terra to landscape a hill behind my house. It was a good experience working with the designer, Rebecca, to DJ and his crew for installation. DJ and his crew worked with me and accommodated any changes and request I had with no problem. I am very satisfied with the results.
Bella Terra just completed a landscape project for us, and we could not be happier with the result and the service. Rebecca was our designer and she was very professional and easy to work with. Jimi was our project manager and Mike was our crew leader, and all provided excellent service and did a very high quality job. We would recommend Bella Terra to anyone considering a landscape project.
Planted trees for green wall space . Chris and his team did a great job!
Very pleased with this nursery! I m all about customer service and so are they! Can t wait to come back and shop!
GREAT SELECTION GREAT QUALITY GREAT STAFF A GEM! Positive Quality
Nice selection. Friendly staff. Good prices
Nice and friendly service
I just love this place, great selection, knowledgeable and helpful staff, great prices. Definitely worth driving a few extra miles. You wont be disappointed.
Great work by Bella Terra Landscapes & Nursery. They put in a gravel patio, a stone stairway, planted a maple tree, and placed gravel under our deck. They were careful not to damage anything in their path. The work they did was excellent, staff was friendly. From the beginning to the end (contacting them, getting an estimate, staff coming out to do the work), everything was first rate. Also, we got 4 quotes (Sposatos, Sussex Trees, Country Lawn Care) and they were the best price.
Do yourself a favor and HIRE THIS COMPANY!!! You will be glad you did. TRUST ME! My wife and I were looking for quality landscaping and lighting around the outside of our new home, and these guys came recommended by our builder. And boy were they a great recommendation! We told Bella Terra we want our backyard to look EPIC!! And they delivered on that shared desire, and THEN SOME! They are extremely customer service oriented, caring, and responsive. Mike the owner, Justin, and their whole installation, irrigation, and service team have treated us TERRIFIC, and continue to do so. I just love the way they turned the entire outside of our house into a real vacation oasis! We will be using them and their company for a LONG time. My wife and I are VERY particular, so take my word for it when I say these guys are the real deal!!
Get nursery going back this week you gotta visit this nursery....
Nice plants and trees but very high prices
Great selection and great service!
Im not certain my irrigation system is blown out properly. Your compressor lacks the volume to really blow it dry. In 18 years Ive always had each zone blown dry and really spray hard till dry. That didnt occur this time. This usually occurs when a compressor lacks the volume of air reqd. Other than that, all was well.
The Bella Terra Landscaping team did a wonderful job on the design and installation of the trees/plants. Rebecca completed a design after visiting with me to understand my vision, the layout of the yard, and the deer problem in our area. I knew that I wanted Green Giants to provide year round natural privacy along with other deer resistant trees for color. I also wanted the landscaped area to have curves instead of a rigid line of trees across the back yard. She worked with me to make this happen and with only minor changes to her original drawing. She did a great job on the design and I cant wait until spring/summer/fall of 2021 to see the all the color changes. Next, they arrived to install the trees/plants. Garrett, the lead for the team, and his entire team were on time, professional, polite, and very knowledgeable about the products and the work to be performed. They were also very patient and understanding with my questions! We also had an unexpected down pour and they didnt miss a beat! This was a job that required several days and I was amazed at how well they cleaned up the work area before leaving each day. They also took care of the area where they had to use equipment to take trees/plants/mulch to the back of the yard. Garrett patiently listened to my concerns about irrigation and care for the new landscape and set up and even left hoses with a sprinkler until our irrigation team could come out. Garrett also worked with our irrigation provider to help understand needs for the new landscaping. He made great suggestions for types of additional trees that I wanted. Jim W. was also on site and talked with me about care for the new installation and some more great ideas. Jim was very responsive with email and he also did an excellent job overseeing the project. Garrett returned to plant the additional trees after we had sod placed and he and his team took great care to get the trees planted with minimal disruption to the new grass. They did this by not using equipment to transport the materials to the back of yard. Thank you Jim and Garrett for your attention to this! The landscaping looks beautiful and the team did a fantastic job while delivering the highest level of customer service. I highly recommend Bella Terra for landscaping! The photo I included will give an idea of the size of the job and I couldnt fit it in all the pic. It was difficult to capture the beauty of the design and the plants especially since they wont be in bloom until spring. But it looks so nice in person!
Friendly staff, nice variety of plants n great prices. Will shop their often.
Excellent work by an excellent crew. Shout out to Garret, Mike, Henry for their professionalism, hard work and talent in creating something beautiful in my yard. They were flexible with my late changes, and went above and beyond in every way. (My apologies that I did not get everyone s name.)
We have had an excellent experience with Bella Terra from the initial planning with Megan right through the crews that did the planting and reconfigured and replaced our irrigation system! Mike, the owner, was very responsive as were his supervisory staff. Cant say enough about the hard working crew who insured that we were happy with the plantings. The landscaping looks great despite the brutal heat of this summer. Great company to work with. Highly recommend them.
Great company. They quality is excellent and the service is prompt.
They are always closed when I have a chance to visit.
Below is an email we sent to Bella Terra this week noting our experience with their services this year. We would like to share it with others looking to use Bella Terra. We highly recommend this company. Bella Terra We re writing to be certain you know how happy we are with the coordinated work of members of your team, who recently converted our wood-burning fire pit to gas, then installed complementary landscape lighting around our home. Specifically, we want to call out the efforts of Rebecca Snow, Luis, Jamie, and others who worked on our projects. In August of this year, Rebecca helped ensure that an extensive re-landscaping plan we d worked on with an earlier Bella Terra employee was effectively completed. We were very pleased with the work, so we called Rebecca back in September for some help with our wood-burning fire pit. We wanted to convert it to gas, but our propane supplier discouraged it, implying we would need to pull up the patio surrounding the fire pit to effect the conversion, which would be very expensive. Rebecca called the propane supplier on our behalf, and got the same vague response. Refusing to give up, she contacted Peninsula Propane, arranged for them to take a look at the situation, and got a much more positive response (kudos to Dallas and Bernie from Peninsula). With her help, we switched propane suppliers to Peninsula. She then arranged to have the propane line trenched through the yard under the patio to the fire pit, to cut two vents into the stone fire pit, and to create an opening for the controls. The result: We have a fantastic looking (and easy to use) fire pit. At the same time, we asked Rebecca if she had suggestions to improve our scanty outdoor landscape lighting. She put together a much-improved lighting plan which was installed about two weeks ago. It looks amazing! Rebecca had a lot of help from her Bella Terra partners. Luis and Jamie worked on the lighting. We don t have the names of all who helped with the fire pit, but we hope you can identify them. All of them deserve a lot of praise; to a person, they were polite, neat, and hard-working. We ve engaged Bella Terra for our lawn cutting, landscape design, irrigation, lawn fertilization & weed control, and shrub/tree maintenance (the latter two via Arbor Care). We couldn t be happier. You ve got a collaborative team of very talented individuals, and it was important to us to acknowledge their fine efforts on our behalf.
Bella Terra did a great job with my new homes exterior illumination. Mike, Ken, and Lana were very professional. Mike shared his design idea with me and was accommodating to the suggestions I made. Perfect.
We have used Bella Terra since our original landscape installation (new home was surrounded by bare dirt) in early 2012. They are knowledgeable, courteous and thorough. Our labor-intensive garden is in good hands with BT.
Great customer service! They do what they say they will in a timely manner. I have never been let down by them as they take personal responsibility for their work!
Have used and recommended Bella Terra for many years. Ranging from weekly lawncare, irrigation installation, uplighting and full landscape installations. There isnt another company I would consider using in their place. Thanks for all your hard work!
When we called, Bella Terra came... immediately... and fixed our light outages. Excellent service. Highly recommend this company.
Great design vision, quality materials and superior follow-up resulted in a 5 star result. Jess Behringer, Rehoboth Beach
Kyle at BellaTerra responds quickly, very helpful, and is customer focused and friendly. We look forward to working with him on our irrigation needs!!
We highly recommend this company. Bella Terra is always there for us. Excellent and prompt service for over 10 years, including snow removal . BTW Danny, we are waiting patiently for your spring pruning. Lynda and Jerry in Lewes.
Bella Terra does beautiful work. They are very responsive and willing accommodate any special needs. I highly recommend them.
Bella Terra did a beautiful hardscape and plantings! Also a dry well to solve rain water issue.
I find Bella Terra very responsive to any issues and respectful of my needs. They are prompt in response to emails.
Excellent , prompt attentive service. They did our initial landscape install and landscape lighting when we built our summer home in Rehoboth. Have used them for all our landscaping and plant care for many years now. Extremely happy with them.
They said they were busy didnt ask what I needed lost opportunity to landscape my front yard
Very. Knowledgeable and helpful
We had Bella Terra design and create the landscaping and irrigation for the back yard of our very large lot in a new development near Lewes DE. Megan was wonderful to work with and was able to take my rough design ideas and make them work in the real world. She even was able to modify the plan to meet ever-changing HOA guidelines. Kyle designed a very thourough multi-zoned irrigation system that is working great! The crews were very hard working and courteous, and even offered to fix a fence lock that got broken during the install. The trees and shrubs they brought in are big and beautiful we now get many wonderful comments from the neighbors on how beautiful everything turned out!
I have used Bella Terra for the past two years because they offer full yard care including year round maintenance, lawn care, tree trimming, etc. Also are great at landscape design!
Very helpful staff. Beautiful landscaping. Unfortunately, they didnt have what I was looking to purchase.
Above and beyond excellent service
They are a great company to work with. We used them for a number of projects and have been very happy with the results.
Professional and prompt. Hard working crew!
My yard is the envy of my neighborhood thanks to Bella Terra
