The Green Spot runs a garden center that, by its own website, stocks flowers, organic herbs and vegetables for spring planting. The towns it lists as its service area include New Milford, Kent, Litchfield, Roxbury and Danbury. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0643249, held by THE GREEN SPOT LLC, is active on the state registry. A 2025 customer who hired the company to redo front garden beds said they basically just put in wild flowers, and a number of plants did not thrive in the sun the yard gets. That 2025 customer said about half had survived a year later, and that the company never called back when they phoned for advice. A 2024 customer recommended the company. A 2023 customer praised the stock of plant material and the displays. A 2023 customer called the plants reasonably priced. A 2022 customer who stopped by to ask about landscaping said they could not answer general questions and called the prices absurd.
Do not use this place for home consultation gardening needs. I never write these but I'd want my friends to know not to go here, so felt I needed to write. Their store is adorable and has everything you need. But I hired them to come redo our front garden beds and they basically just put in wild flowers and a number of things did not thrive with all the sunlight we get up there (thee's no tree coverage and it's like she didn't listen to that.) Plus some very ugly other plant choices. As a plant novice, I trusted them to artistically design a space and this did not happen. Now a year later, only about half has survived and I'm hiring someone else to change out all that we lost and to move the wildflowers to the meadow where they (beautifully) belong. I tried to calling them about a month ago to get their advise and thoughts before hiring someone else and they literally never called me back. So in summary, shitty (even ugly) plant choices, a lot of which cannot handle the amount of sun we get (as if they didn't listen to me or look to where the sun would be), and poor customer service in never calling me back.
Do an excellent job Recommended
Great stock lots of plant material to choose and the displays are great with a visit to get inspired
Nice plants, reasonably priced.
I stopped by here to ask about landscaping and was really disappointed. They do not seem to really know what they are talking about - more of a gentleman farmer type group, not getting their hands dirty. Could not answer general questions. Prices are absurd too. You can do much better at other local nurseries.

Typical Connecticut range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from The Green Spot. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
