Buying plants online should feel simple and predictable. This page explains exactly how our shipping works, what to expect, and how we ensure your trees and plants arrive in strong condition.
Nursery Near You ships across the United States using structured freight systems designed specifically for live plants. Whether you are ordering a few hedge plants or larger mature trees, we coordinate delivery to protect plant health and minimize stress during transit.
Where We Deliver
We ship plants nationwide across the United States.
Shipping costs and methods vary depending on:
• Your ZIP code
• Order size
• Plant height and container size
• Site access conditions
You can browse plants suited to your climate by filtering by USDA Hardiness Zone before placing your order.
For larger trees, especially from our Advanced Trees collection, freight may be quoted based on size and location to ensure accurate pricing.
How Our Plant Shipping Works
Live plants are not treated like standard parcels. We structure shipping around:
• Secure loading and stabilization
• Protective wrapping where required
• Palletized shipments for bulk orders
• Direct courier or specialized freight where appropriate
Smaller plants may ship via standard carriers such as FedEx or UPS. Larger stock is delivered via freight providers experienced in handling nursery products.
Delivery timeframes depend on your location, but we aim for efficient dispatch once your order is confirmed and prepared.
Preparing for Delivery
To ensure a smooth delivery, please:
• Provide clear access instructions
• Confirm whether someone needs to be present
• Advise of any site restrictions (gates, limited turning space, etc.)
For commercial or bulk deliveries, let us know if a forklift or unloading equipment is available onsite.
If no one is home, plants are typically left in a safe location. We recommend watering them soon after arrival, especially during warm or dry conditions.
Delivery Timeframes
Timeframes vary depending on stock availability and region.
In general:
• Metro deliveries are typically faster
• Regional and rural areas may require additional transit time
• Advanced or bulk orders may require scheduling
We confirm realistic timeframes prior to dispatch. If you are working toward a landscaping deadline, contact us before ordering so we can coordinate accordingly.
Damaged or Delayed Deliveries
While rare, shipping delays can occasionally occur. If your plants arrive damaged or with concerns, contact us promptly with:
• Photos of the plants
• Photos of packaging
• Your order number
We assess each situation quickly and provide practical solutions.
