Frequently Asked Questions

Can Watkins Nurseries help with my overgrown shrubs and patchy lawn in Midlothian?

Absolutely. Our comprehensive shrub care services directly address these common local issues. For overgrown shrubs, our team provides expert pruning and trimming to restore shape and health. If necessary, we can also handle shrub removal and transplanting. For patchy lawns, our landscape design and installation services include evaluating your soil and irrigation to create a robust plan for a lush, even lawn. We use our extensive selection of field-grown plants to recommend hardy, local varieties that thrive in Midlothian's climate.

Do you offer full-service landscape design and construction?

Yes, we provide complete turnkey services. Our process begins with a detailed landscape design, drawing on over 140 years of plant knowledge. From there, our construction and installation team brings the plan to life, handling everything from greenscape construction to irrigation system design. We supply the bulk materials and plants directly from our own fields, ensuring quality and consistency. This integrated approach means we manage your project from the initial concept through to the final planting and beyond, with available maintenance services.

As a long-standing local business, do you sell plants directly to homeowners?

Yes, we operate both as a wholesale grower and a retail plant center. Homeowners in Midlothian are welcome to visit our location on Dry Bridge Road to shop our selection of container plants, trees, shrubs, and gardening supplies. Our retail staff can provide planting and care advice based on generations of experience growing plants right here in central Virginia. We also offer green waste recycling services for yard debris.

Company Background

Since 1876, Watkins Nurseries has been a cornerstone of Midlothian's green spaces, rooted in Chesterfield County soil for over five generations. Originally founded as J.B. Watkins & Brother, we started by supplying small fruit trees via mail order and grew into a leading importer of European ornamental plants, introducing many species that are now staples in American landscaping. Today, from our location on Dry Bridge Road, we blend this deep horticultural heritage with comprehensive local service. We specialize in landscape design, installation, and maintenance, supported by over 500 acres of field-grown trees, shrubs, and plants. As a fifth-generation, family-run business, we provide reliable, knowledgeable care for both residential and commercial properties, helping our neighbors build and maintain beautiful, thriving outdoor environments.
