I wasn't sure what to expect since the reviews seem to be all over the place... but wow what a gem! If you want orderly plants all in a row sparkling in plastic perfection like Home Depot, maybe you should go to Home Depot. This is for the folks who like a treasure hunt, maybe the folks who love thrift stores and vintage cars, and see beauty in diversity. Yep, it's a little bit messy, but staffing shortages abound everywhere and here is no exception. We used a gift certificate to pick out a few apple trees and a bunch of sages and other things, which all looked a bit rough around the edges because of the season. Once they got settled in at home they're all thriving, and one sage has even re-bloomed way ahead of schedule. I'm so glad we visited, it was such a treat to see this little oasis!

They have reasonable prices. They went over and above on their customer service. I left a message that I was needing a certain tree for my grandson's school science project. They put one aside for me, without my asking, so it would be there when we came in the morning! The rest were sold before we got there. I was so impressed and thankful!!

Mike is equally an amazing human and local plant Guru. I'm not normally a review writer, but I thought I should jump in here because he seems to be a bit misunderstood... I've lived in the Pioneertown area for over a decade, and have always relied on Mike's expertise and knowledge of local plants and trees to populate my properties, not to mention the pleasure derived of shooting the s*** about shrub subspecies and mulch algorithms. The guy is truly a wizard, and as an added bonus he looks the part. What you've got to understand is that Mike takes care of both the sales and landscaping sides of the business by himself- that's digging holes to plant trees, driving around the southwest locating and purchasing inventory, manning the counter, and hosting his morning radio show. He's always trying to find employees and he never can. That's the unfortunate reality of life out here though- Desert Brain is a real affliction that sucks both the drive and willingness to do anything out of people- and yes, it should be further studied and researched. But until a cure is found, Mike remains a one man show. So can it be frustrating that the Unique Garden Center is often closed? Of course. But that's part of what makes it unique- when you do manage to locate Mike, it's a wildly different experience than walking into the local Home Depot and being sold a tree that might survive a week in the desert that was ordered from a bulk sale by some halfwit in a corporate office building on the outskirts of Atlanta who doesn't know his coniferous from a hole in the ground. If instead you think of finding Mike like a fishing or hunting expedition then it becomes somewhat more relishing- nothing is more savory than the hunt for a rare beast whose capture is well worth the hours or days of trolling or hiking through unfamiliar territory. So do yourself a huge favor- minus the hiking, trolling, and unfamiliar territory- and grab a cold beer from your ice box, crack it open, have a seat on your chesterfield, take a swig, pick up the phone, and dial Mike. Leave him a message, and when he does get back to you, well, hot damn, all I can say is buckle up my friend.

Mike is the best! He knows the high desert like the back of his hand and will recommend plants that are ideal for your location. "Oh, you live in Flamingo Heights? I would stay away from that plant since it gets a little colder there in the winter at night." "You live out in 29 Palms, I would recommend this plant, since it can handle the heat better". Couldn't recommend Unique Landscape highly enough.

I know it's hard to find any professional worker in Yucca and surrounded. We schedule with Mike to come over and do his service. No calls, no answer, no show-up and basely No No No. Hopefully, soon business will be more series in the area. I wish for more computation.

Amazing service!! If you don't see what you are looking for, ask the staff, they will probably be able to get it first you. Greeted by everyone working, even the owner came over to talk with us about a special order. So wonderful and refreshing!!

Wonderful and very knowledgeable man, Mike Branning, is very helpful. He trimmed a tree for us recently. He and his team have done yard work for us several times and does a great job. He has desert water wise plants that he sells at reasonable prices. He can help you with plant problems. He has a radio show on Saturday mornings. At Z107.7 and answers gardening questions. Sometimes he is hard to get a hold of, but leave a message and he will call you back. Good guy.

This business is never open period. I have been a resident in the area for over four years and drive a distance of over 20 miles one way. After countless attempts finding the gate closed I stopped. I can drive by this business any hour of the business day and the gate is closed. He has this radio show every Saturday morning on a local radio station. He tells people to call him and reports the store hours. Good luck on both counts.
