Snow's Garden Center

We had a fantastic experience working with Snow's this past fall to replace our large asphalt driveway with permeable pavers, guided by Kate Sedgewick's design and project expertise. The entire experience was smooth and the end result is truly beautiful! I warmly recommend their work.

What a wonderful experience we had with Snows Garden Center and Patrick. He was so knowledgeable about all things plants, trees and what would fit well in our large space we have. He helped us choose the right materials for our project, had great advice on what plants will work well in that area and designed us a beautiful garden of flowers, ground cover and trees. We are totally happy with the whole process, the timeliness of their work and the great job Patrick and his team did at our home. We will definitely be working with Snows from here on out!. Thanks for making our project so easy. We appreciate it.

I would like to highly recommend that you contact Snow’s Garden Center, and in particular Zach Pittinger, for your landscaping needs. This recommendation is based on my experience with them in the fall of 2025. My steeply sloped property in Fluvanna County was in need of a dry creek bed to channel rain runoff away from the yard. Zach came out to look at the site and patiently listened as I described my vision of the 220’ swale to be dug and filled with river rock. It was an easy two-way conversation with Zach and he offered some well-thought out suggestions demonstrating his knowledge and experience. I received his detailed and itemized estimate via email in a week and I accepted it. He then connected me with the office staff for scheduling and deposit payment. Remarkably, work began within a month while accommodating my out of town schedule. Angel (the foreman) showed up and I described the project which he grasped immediately. He and his co-worker David went to work, with only occasional input from me, and completed the extensive work in 3 days or so. Zach also came out to check on the progress and to see if I was satisfied. I was extremely pleased with the quality, aesthetic judgement, work ethic and overall professionalism of this group. In view of this wonderful experience, I will be working with Snow’s, Zach and Angel for more of my landscaping projects.

Zach’s team from Snows was friendly and efficient. Zach makes sure to understand your preferences, happily and quickly responds to emailed questions, and is very well informed.He chose deer resistant native plants that produced successive blooms through spring. Drainage was a big concern and Zach carefully considered and implemented a plan using plants and natural looking stones. He stops by months later to check progress or inspect any concerns we have.

I’ve been a customer of Snow’s Garden Center for 20 years, and they’ve always been fantastic—but I have to give a special shoutout to Zack Pittenger, who designed both my front and backyard landscapes. The front yard (see photos) is already stunning, and the backyard is still in progress but well on its way. Zack is an absolute pleasure to work with: highly collaborative, thoughtful in his design approach, and deeply knowledgeable. He really listened to what I wanted—something beautiful but low-maintenance—and completely delivered. He’s also extremely responsive when I follow up with questions about plant care and maintenance, which makes all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands both design and client communication, I can’t recommend Zack highly enough. Working with him (and Snow’s!) has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my home.
