I would give no stars if I could Paid my deposit in April and they didn’t show up till June That was after 3 phone calls, no return calls from them however so I finally had to go in the office angry Then they finally came out three days later then they said Some work was okay but there was dirt all over the stones they put around my pool One windy day and all the dirt would have went in the pool My husband called and the worker said “ Oh yea the rocks are dirty”” What reputable company would leave a job looking so awful They finally came out a week later and once again did an okay job by just washing the rocks half heartedly. I would never use this company again Just too stressful

Outstanding plant selection! Mr Exley did a great job with helping design and choose plants for different locations based off light requirements and keeping an aesthetically pleasing long term solution to my landscape! 10/10 recommend this business. Top quality plants, top quality service and a real family feel.

After an 8 year absence, I purchased a 6 ft Fraser fir Christmas tree 3 weeks ago. It is outstanding. Still smells so good, and I was the weirdo smelling trees for an hour before I picked one. $85 totally worth it for my happiness this holiday season!! Cheers They do everything for you, bale it and put it in your car. Love this place, a local gem!

Made the short 25 minute drive from Philly to this delightful tree farm. Staff was extremely friendly and eager to help. They had a large selection of quality Christmas trees at a reasonable price and a much higher quality product than what I’ve purchased from tree lots in the city in years past. The trees are neatly organized, unwrapped, and standing vertically, making it easy to make a selection. My tree was wrapped and well tied to my vehicle for the ride back. They also have Santa, hay rides, and more on the weekends. They’re open during the week too unlike many tree farms if you want to avoid the crowds. Will be back next year for sure!

This is what their landscaping crew just left in the road on Red Bank Avenue after cutting the medical plaza. Blew it completely into the middle of the road! Ridiculous!

EDIT: Nearly all the trees have died. They provided no assistance when asked for help. $12K down the drain. Great company and will use them again in the future. We had them fix some mistakes made by our previous landscaper, add all new shrubbery and up lighting to the front of our home, and plant trees in our backyard. They were timely, efficient and the quality of work is excellent. Prices were very reasonable, and far below one of their competitors we received an estimate from. Highly recommended.

My favorite place to buy Christmas trees in south Jersey. A lot of friendly and helpful staff. The place is very neat and well organized. A bit pricey but they only sell the best.

They planted about 20 trees. All but 5 are dead. Big waste of money.

IF YOU BUY A TREE MAKE SURE YOU CAN PLANT IT YOURSELF, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE GOT MY MONEY BACK AFTER A TOTALLY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE. WAITED ALL SUMMER FOR TREE TO BE PLANTED IN FALL THEN WHEN FALL CAME HAD TO DEAL WITH TOTALLY UNPROFESIONAL SERVICE DEPT, TOTAL RUN AROUND WITH NO REGARD TO MY NEEDS. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE.

Used them for tagging & purchasing Xmas trees a few years in a row. Each year things seem to slip further downhill. Tree selection seems smaller each year. Office staff never friendly on the phone. They hand you misleading information when you pay for your tree, then when you call they tell you something different. When you go pickup your tagged tree the location you actually go is always wrong, no matter what youre told on the phone. We used them bc they are very close by. In the future we will be going to other farms for our Xmas trees and hope we get better service. I can no longer recommend this tree farm to anyone.

We bought a tree for the holidays, on a very cold, early week day morning, so it was not crowded. Yes trees are very expensive.

Our mulch delivery was 3 days late and filled with trash when it arrived. Well never do business with them again.

We have used Exleys for at least one new project every year for the last 5 years. Top quality work every single time. They always get back to us right away, and we have never had any issues. We even had a tree die about a year after one of the projects, and they came and replaced it within days. I feel like there are very few companies that treat their customers the way Exleys does.

Great place for landscaping needs. After spending half a day going from one garden center to another, Exleys was able to provide the items and expertise we needed to get us going in the right direction. Bob Exley looked at the photos of our home and put together a design for plants and srubs and did a layout right in their parking lot to show us what it would look like. He also gave great pointers and advice on how to plant and to care for our new greenery. The cost was less than what we expected, which is always a plus.

As far as I know its a really good place and landscaping company. Theyve been in business a long time. I know where they are located, Im actually from that area. And a couple of my friends went to school with the owner. I just have never used their services personally. Hope that helps. Take care..

Paid for and tagged a weeping willow tree back in May. When we scheduled to have it picked up and installed four months later we were told they no longer had the tree. All 6 of the trees that were there in May had died shortly after we paid for ours. No one bothered to call and let us know for four months. We got our money back but find this lack of customer service unacceptable.

Really problematic service. We tagged fout trees, thought we were getting them 40% off according to one owner, the other owner decided it was only 30% off, was supposed to call to discuss the pricing. Never did, one tree disappeared. Edit to add: a week later, we went back, he said 50% off but said he would check something first, never did, now we ve got to chase him down yet again to finish the deal. It s a very painful process. Nice trees though.

Exleys Landscape & Nursery transformed our backyard into a relaxing outdoor oasis! We recently had an in-ground pool installed and Exleys installed a paver patio, plants, trees, rocks and lighting around the pool. All of the installers were courteous and professional. We highly recommend Exleys to anyone in need of a professional landscape and hardscape design to help achieve the look you desire. Thank you, Exleys!

I recently purchased 10 cubic yard of black mulch from Exleys. Delivery was scheduled for a Tuesday, which came and went with neither the delivery nor a phonecall explaining why the delivery had been missed. Fortunately, I got a phonecall the following morning explaining that the mulch would be delivered that day (Wednesday), instead. I got home from work later that night, grabbed the pitchfork and wheelbarrow, and set to spreading the mulch. Within the first 3 scoops, I knew there was a problem.....the mulch was full of all sorts of GARBAGE. Were talking pieces of metal wire, plastic bags, plastic flashing, nails, pieces of kitchen countertop (yes...countertop), soldering wire (hopefully the lead-free type?), some sort of bizarre bright blue tubing, electrical wire, fiberboard sheathing, and other assorted finger-sized pieces of plastic. After spending the next few days debating what to do, I finally called Exleys to see what they could do to fix this. The woman who answered the phone took my information and promised to have one of the owners call me. A day came and went without a phonecall. I called again and left a voicemail reiterating my problem and again asking for a phonecall back. Then a third voicemail the following day. I still have not heard back. After 4 days of waiting, I am left to presume that Exleys will not be returning my phonecalls, and that they are OK with having charged me $300+ to deliver 10 cubic yards of painted demolition debris into my driveway. My neighborhood (Lucroft Farms) is all of 1000yds down the road from this place, and I will be sure to pass my experiences along to every neighbor I come across so that they can be spared the frustration of dealing with such a underhanded, thieving company. Shame on you, Exleys.

Had a great experience! Went to do hayride and corn maze with the family, and was able to tag a beautiful Christmas tree! Highly recommend visiting, especially on weekend to take part in all the activities.

I just had the worst interaction EVER with a business when I called Exleys. I recently had a car crash across my property causing damage to my landscaping, and my front yard looks simply awful. I was frustrated enough when the drivers insurance wanted me to do the legwork to get this fixed, but I had settled on Exleys to make this easy, and replace the damage with a local business. I would have then asked them for a proposal for additional landscaping including huge boulders to be sure that this doesnt happen again. Exleys wanted $50 to even come to my door!!! Insult was added to injury, and I will find another landscaper who actually wants my business without charging upfront for the pleasure of meeting them. UNBELIEVABLE! Way to blow an opportunity to get a whole lot of work, and they had ZERO phone manners or compassion for the situation. Mr. Exley Sr. actually argued with me when I protested the charge!!
