Niemeyer is a family owned local landscaping business, with deep ties in the community and local politics. They give back considerably in charitable contributions to Crown Point. So with that being said, I can’t say they are not a blessing for our community. I’m sure it took a very long time to build that Stellar reputation and image they want to perceive. My family has shopped at Niemeyer since 2016 when my wife and I purchased our first home. We never had a a bad plant or flower die prematurely. Purchased mulch and have had it delivered to my home. Never a issue. Here’s where that image they’ve worked so hard to maintain is shattered.I think a big family name in a small town that gets “big praise” and so many “pats on the back” so many times they may forget who (customers) put them in that position of notoriety. Mr Niemeyer was to to important to return a phone call, email, or text message. He lacks accountability, responsibility, liability or even negative feedback. So here are the facts.My wife was on her way home from work sitting idle at the red light in front of the Niemeyer's business at Indiana Ave waiting for the green light. When a Niemeyer employee that was parked in the middle of street/ median was obviously in a big hurry so he (crown point police said was illegal for the record ) decided to pull out in front of my wife a rock fell of the truck bed directly onto the windshield. Cracking my windshield. The rock DID NOT hit the pavement and bounce onto windshield. My wife was not following the truck to closely. She could do absolutely nothing-because my truck was not moving. We obey traffics laws and don’t park illegally in the middle of the street where we shouldn’t be.The rock fell directly from the Nienmeyer truck bed onto our windshield leaving a hole in it.. My wife followed the driver to the job site and informed employee of what happened he told her to call the company and inform nick. Why wife called me at work and told me what happened. I immediately called my State Farm insurance agent and asked if we should make cops to the scene to make a report. This is where my fault comes into play. My insurance agent said…(gotta be a first for a insurance agent not to say call the cops lol) “ Nienmeyers should be understanding and fix what happened so no need to call the cops to the scene”..”call the owners and that being a big local business we shouldn’t have problems”…I reluctantly agreed and we ended our 3 way phone call. “”””” SHE COULDN'T OF BEEN MORE WRONG””””Day 2. My wife stopped and spoke with the manager that handles those situations the next day. ( I work 5:00- 5:30 pm everyday for 7 days a week. So by the time I get home Nienmeyers is closed) The manager acted bothered, his demeanor was as if he didn’t want to hear it at all. Cutting her off when speaking. Saying it was impossible and couldn’t of happened. She told the manger “””if you don’t believe what I’m saying watch your camera”8 months later and this business-never made good on the mistake..Owner told me I could stop in and speak with them again..I knew it would pointless because my wife and myself already done this and got nowhere. Complete run-a-round. They must be bullet proof because of there connections because they never would accept responsibility for there mistake…I ended up paying for my windshield…I’m a hard working father of 2 baby girls. What would’ve been a drop in the bucket for Niemeyer ended up taking the food off my table.

I have always had an excellent experience here. Staff are very interested in helping and knowledgeable. At one point I got a 30 minute tour around the place talking about different plant options and helping to educate me to accomplish my landscaping goals. I love coming here.

Hours aren’t accurate online. I arrived when it said they were open and they were still there but I was turned away. All I wanted was a gift card. I have had positive experiences there in the past but the single star is for the inconvenience of driving up there for no reason.

I purchased all my plants and flowers from Niemeyer's this year. With their guidance on how to plant, and the little extra things I can do, my flowers have never looked better. Its great having a local business with knowledge you can trust.

Since moving into the area, I was looking for a good garden and flower supply business. Have been to several in the area, all have been good, but this one is the one I like the best. Their plants and flowers are of good quality. However, what I like the best is the service and expertise of the staff. They take their time to explain what we need to do, and gave us the plants and flowers we needed for a successful garden or flower arrangement.

They broke my windshield and won't pay for the repair. Even my insurance company thought they would accept responsibility so we didn't notify the police to the scene. I've shopped at this local business and it's extremely disappointing in the behavior and negative feedback I got from them. I work 84 hours a week to put food on the table for my family. The Nienmeyer driver pulled out in front of my wife in front of there buisness on summit st. We weren't even behind the flatbed driver he decided to pull out in front of my wife and when he did a rock came off his truck bed and landed directly on my windshield.Be careful if your going to shop at this business because they will not pay for damages they cause to your vehicle
