Had a weird experience here about a week and a half ago. Went with the girlfriend, she loves this place. She was looking at plants and what not but really went there to look into their mulch. Keep in mind, she loves this place and has been here multiple times and even brings her out of town mom here.

We start by walking around inside the main building looking at fertilizer and some type of grass feed stuff. Then she walks to the back to look for a few plants. I'm not a plant guy, I don't know the names. This is where it gets weird.

An older guy in a polo starts following us around. He hangs out like 10-15 feet away and follows us everywhere we go. She keep looking around at plants and picks up a few. I'm pulling them behind us in this cart thingy. The guy is still following us. She notices too. We decide to just leave because we're getting creeped out. The dude follows us to the check out and is eyeing us the whole time!

We walk to the car, put the plants in the truck and back out. We notice the dude still looking at us! Then he takes a picture of my car as we pull away! We were like, what the hell...

We called the place and a nice girl picks up the phone. We say to her, "hey, this guy was following us around and taking pictures of my car, wth". She goes and asks the guy. Turns out, that guy was the owner!

The girl comes back to the phone after a bit and tells us that the guy profiles people who have "backpacks". My gf has one of those purses that you wear like a backpack. The owner thought we were there to steal plant clippings or something, and that's the explaination we got. The owner didn't have the guts to tell us this himself, he made the nice girl tell us.

The guy never said a word to use, just followed us around like a CREEP. I only went here with the gf, but she was so creeped out she said she's never going back.

The owner of the place, profiling young girls with purses that you wear on your back, and taking pictures of people's cars. Not a way to win customers dude. We're taking out plant buying elsewhere.

I regard this nursery as our personal botanical garden: you can walk around, study the plants, read the labels, admire the cacti, investigate the bonsai, smell the roses, and relax on a bench nearby. No pressure from the friendly staff, the vending machine will provide a cooling beverage, and you can buy something as a gift to whomever --- a jar of local honey, or clay vessel, or whatever! Wonderful place!

Easily the best nursery I have been to in the Houston area. It's like the Disneyworld of nurseries. It's huge and has everything. I was looking for jacaranda trees which are a rarity for this area. No one else had them. Maas had 10-15 of them.

We have loved Maas Nursery. Maas has many loyal customers who have been going there for years. I have purchased several of the largest bronze statues they had on sale along with ornaments, fertilizer and the plants... but beware of the Mailbox Witch! Let me explain.

The loading area next to checkout is also where they have an obscure mailbox. All loading and unloading at Maas will block the mailbox because it is in a silly place. We witnessed a large Coca Cola truck pull in to unload. This blocked the mailbox. Also a FedEx Truck.

But as a customer I was viciously attacked by the Mailbox Witch, while purchasing a few large trees. I was asked to back my truck up to the loading dock. A few minutes later Mailbox Witch had a hysterical fit in front of customers and employees. Everyone was embarrassed and shocked! She could have asked us to nicely move the truck... but instead began screaming in an inappropriate rage at everyone involved in the imaginary conspiracy to stop her mail.

I think this is a horrible way for anyone to behave in public or private. But to be this inconsiderate to a customer clearly buying Christmas presents from Maas nursery for my family is sad. The fact is that Maas is VERY expensive compared to the massive amount of competition. Any neighborhood landscaper can out source Maas. There are hundreds of nurseries in Houston. Maas shouldn't be so arrogant about itself that they treat their customers like DIRT!

By far the best nursery I've visited ever! The grounds are spread out to enjoy the variety of plant life with beautiful garden statues, native pottery and fountains galore providing a very tranquil setting. The staff is exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and helpful great for a novice or experienced gardener. If you need to find that special plant or a place to walk think and find your inner peace/Zen, this is the place. I will be back just to walk the grounds and marvel at God's creation!

The plants and service are great, but the women at the front who do the cashiering have an absolutely dreadful attitude. I was there paying out last week, and had a red haired woman, I believe her name was Melissa, give me the worst customer service I ve experienced in my life. Completely condescending and rude, I suggest the management find a different job for her ASAP to avoid sending customers to a different business, because I refuse to shop there when I see her now.

This has been a very pleasant place to shop for plants and flowers. They have a lot to choose from and is a very big place to walk around and enjoy the beauty of all different kinds of plants.

Love this place! The variety cant be beat for the area. The garden escaping inside is beautiful and a place you could so end hours looking at all the plants and fountains! Cant wait to return!

This is heaven on earth!!! Definately recommend

This is heaven on earth!!! Definately recommend
Came here with the wife, left with ghost peppers and snake plants and spider plants and pots and several plants.
Now I feel like i am a futuristic botanist
It was a date like I'd we were at a museum or zoo...really fun to see this heavenly palace.
Thanks MAAS

It is easy to spend a couple of hours wandering around the many nooks and crannies of Maas nursery. Besides the gorgeous plants and flowers, the staff are knowledgeable and very helpful in answering questions about where to plant, how much sun or shade a plant needs, plus any questions you might have about dirt, fertilizer, mulch..... etc etc.!

Went here looking for planters after reading on their website that they have a large variety. I think that description was an understatement... there are probably thousands of different color/shape/style planters! And then some! There is probably every single garden/yard decoration you could think of, all covered and surrounded by huge beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers. Looks more like a botanical garden than a nursery... Very peaceful...

There is also a 2 level indoor area with other decorations and art pieces at the entrance; kinda reminds me of an antique shop...

Spent about 3h last time we visited and had a great time, dealt with helpful, nice people and can't wait to come back!

So many choices and knowledgeable people. You really helped me decide on my tree and other plants. Only complaint is sod was not very good and I bought some from you to finish a job and compared to the other I bought it was browning, and did not grow well. I ended up pulling it back up and replacing with the sod from the other location.

DO NOT PURCHASE TREES FROM THIS PLACE!!! My grandmother purchased a magnolia tree and paid an expensive price for them to plant it at my new home so she was sure it was done right. After contacting them 6 months after the tree was planeted and me requesting them come look at it or can I send pictures it s not doing anything they blamed me and said I must not be watering it enough (keep in mind this was December after hurricane Harvey which it rained daily on top of me HAND WATERING THE TREE) but whatever I said I ll give it longer. So I contacted them when my year warranty on the tree was about to be up and of course they still said I was doing something wrong and never came out or checked on me or anything so I basically wasted $1200 on a tree my grandmother planted for me that was supposed to be sentimental and a great experience and it was terrible, now I have a dead tree and nothing to remember my grandma by. I m beyond upset they would treat me this way and sale me a dead tree.

This place is amazing, the only way I could describe it is peaceful. I definitely want to work here when I am of age, but that's besides the point. Maas is very diverse, ranging from all different species. Seeds are plentiful, trees, flowers, everything is there. Please, stop by here, you will have a very good experience I hope.

If you want to find trees and flowers or any type of fountains and decorations this is the place to go. This is a beautiful place well kept and there's alot of stuff to see here would definitely recommend.

I come here often to browse through the wide variety of plant life. The atmosphere is very calming and comfortable. Prices seem to vary by size of plant. If it is too expensive, then most likely you can find the same variety of plant, just a smaller one for cheaper. The staff are friendly and helpful. Overall just an amazing place, actually one of my favorite places in the Houston area to visit.
