Echobrook Nursery

Echobrook Nursery is a Worcester nursery and landscaping business at 1120 Grafton Street, operating since 1996 under owners Howard and Francine Shear. Its own site describes landscape design and construction, planting, grading, drainage work, lawn and hardscape installation, maintenance, and a year-round nursery and garden center. A Reddit post also points to its indoor tropical-plant selection, while BBB lists the business as a plant nursery and gives it an A+ grade, noting that it is not accredited. Customer feedback is substantial but mixed. Recent 2025–2026 Google reviewers repeatedly describe helpful plant-care advice, broad plant and shrub inventory, rare plants, mulch delivery, and knowledgeable staff; the business has 47 quoted reviews in its all-time record and a 4.4-star Google aggregate from 129 ratings. Several older reviews raise concrete concerns about pricing, service interactions, refund or exchange handling, an alleged payment error, pest-infested plants, and soil quality, so those issues are worth discussing before a purchase or landscaping engagement. Echobrook looks best suited to homeowners seeking plants, nursery supplies, landscape planning, planting, lawn or hardscape work, and ongoing garden help. Confirm the exact scope, materials, delivery terms, and warranty or exchange policy before booking, especially where a project involves substantial trees, shrubs, soil, or installation work.
