John T Nieman Nursery & Landscaping

I cannot believe no one has written a review for this place! My family and I come here every year since I was a wee one. Never had been disappointed coming here. Only the weather. Snow, rain, or sun they still keep going. There had been some miserable years of weather and those guys and gals still push through to help everyone. They have a large amount of acres where they have trees growing in every state so they have enough for all the families that come here to get their perfect tree. Very easy to drive to. The parking is in the grass along the road at their biz. Yesterday was crazy busy since it was so nice out. Gets pretty crazy with cars, kids and trees ha ha. Never had an incident there (stated by an employee and knock on wood for them)
They have different variety of trees, blue spruce, long needle, scotch pine (hybrid of short and long needle) and other ones that I can’t remember their names. They are grouped by variety and height through out the farm. In the beginning of the trail, there is a map and names and pics of trees of which ones they are. There are plenty of trees to choose from so everyone has a chance to find their perfect tree. The tags are color coded of what type of tree and has the prices on them. Once we found a tree, we flagged one of the guys on the tractor and asked for help. There quite a few of them that go around the farm to assist you in cutting the tree. You can cut your own tree but so safety, try to cut it closest to the bottom like they do with their chain saw so people don’t trip on the stump. They cut it and gave us a tag to pay for the tree. They can take your tree and put it in their trailer and haul it up there.
At the barn, they have other decorations made out of pine such as wreaths, center pieces, etc. since it was very very busy, the selection was getting pretty thin. There are ladies inside that do the decorations and you can always ask them to create one for you. They were very nice and helped me out. Doesn’t take too long. Very nice women. Also in the barn they have ornaments to buy, tree care stuff like watering can and stuff to put in the water. And I can’t forget the complimentary hot chocolate and cookies!
Once I bought my tree and wreath, I went next to barn where the guys were prepping the trees. My tree was a little too tall so asked to have it shorten, they obliges and cut some of the branched at the bottom so it fits my stand. They do have stands they where it is a spike in the middle. If you want that they will align the tree to be straight and drill it in the center of the trunk. Then they will hammer the stand in the tree for you. If you already have their stand, bring it with you and they will hammer it in the tree for you. Afterwards, every tree goes in the shaker where they will shake most of the dead needles out. They will even tie it to your car for you. Great service!
For how busy it was, the busiest I’ve ever seen, they were still running smoothly. Great biz! Will never go anywhere else.
