McDonald Garden Center

McDonald Garden Center was founded 75 years ago to provide the residents of Hampton Roads a wide selection of high-quality products and services to enhance and beautify homes and gardens throughout all seasons. With two year round Garden Centers, seasonal Garden Markets and a Landscape Design and Installation division, McDonald Garden Center offers a wide selection of unique, plant material - with most grown locally! Committed to providing exceptional service and horticultural expertise, we encourage successful gardening habits while offering an enjoyable shopping experience.

Mulching is one of the easiest and most beneficial practices you can use in the garden. We define mulch as a protective layer of material that is spread on top of the soil. It can either be organic -- such as grass clippings, pine straw, bark chips, and similar materials -- or inorganic -- such as stones, brick chips, and plastic. Organic mulches improve the condition of the soil. As these mulches slowly decompose, they provide organic matter which helps keep the soil loose. This improves root growth, increases the infiltration of water, and also improves the water-holding ability of the soil.

Hardscapes are used to highlight the best parts of your landscape and create a more functional space. The Landscapes team at McDonald Garden Center design and builds patios, walls, walks, outdoor kitchens and more. Serving both a functional and decorative element, hardscapes are generally created using pavers. Available in an array of textures, colors, shapes and sizes, patio pavers add a timeless and classic element to your landscape project. Whether you are creating a patio, walkway, fire pit, retaining wall or driveway you can add an innovative and unique finish to your garden design.

At McDonald Garden Center you'll find a wide variety of trees and shrubs that thrive in our area. Our expert staff can help find the right varieties for any situation. Our Tree Planting Service makes delivery and planting easy. Trees and shrubs are often categorized as deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous trees start their growth in early spring, stay full and lush through summer, and usually change color and drop their leaves in the fall. Evergreens add year-round beauty as they keep their leaves all year long.

Your yard is one of the most important pieces of your landscape. The lawn provides a comfortable living area, like a carpet in a room. It sets the stage and a well tended, healthy lawn increases the property value of your home. McDonald Garden Center is the leader in lawns and lawn care in Hampton Roads. We offer seeds, fertilizers, plugs, sod, Lawn Care Kits and more to help you be the envy of the neighborhood. If you are deciding on a new lawn altogether, start by choosing either a cool season or warm season lawn.

The serenity and tranquility of water is an essential element to complete a garden or outdoor living space. Fountains add interest and movement in your garden and are ideal solutions where space is limited. A corner, a little alcove, or courtyard - there are any number of places. The pleasant flow of water helps block background noise and enhance the peacefulness of your outdoor areas and patios. People tend to gather around natural bodies of water, and the same applies for fountains. There are a variety of garden water fountains to choose from in almost any shape and material you wish.

And just like plants that come in many different varieties so do fertilizers. Some plants like high nitrogen fertilizers, some like low nitrogen fertilizers. Some plants want to be feed weekly; some only need to be feed once a year. With all the options, you might be overwhelmed as to what your plant will need. However, our experts have all of the answers to help you feed your plants to grown lush flowers or fruit. McDonald Garden Center's Garden Supply department carries a complete line of both organic and traditional fertilizer.
