about us
Masterson’s Landscaping & Lawn Care was started in 1975. Working out of his home in West Falls, NY, Mike Masterson’s services included residential landscape design and installation, lawn installation and maintenance, tree and shrub maintenance, and snow plowing.
By 1985 the business had outgrown its location and the former Graoc Dairy building and property on Olean Road in East Aurora were purchased. The plans included moving the landscape business and opening a small retail nursery. This was accomplished by the spring of 1986 and at that time the business was incorporated as Masterson’s Garden Center. The vision was to be somewhat non traditional in the way the nursery was designed and what was offered. The addition of a petting zoo, children’s playground, a large gazebo overlooking a fish pond, and extensive display gardens and ponds are just a few of the many improvements that have been made. Masterson’s strives to offer a relaxing atmosphere that stimulates your imagination and creativity.
A wide variety of products are offered for sale from wild bird seed and gardening tools to books and supplies, unique gifts, five acres of trees and shrubs, a perennial department second to none and a 5000 sq/ft aquatic greenhouse offering the largest selection of water gardening supplies and aquatic plants available for literally hundreds of miles.
In 1994 Masterson’s joined the Home and Garden Showplace co-op group. Today the group consists of over three hundred independent premier garden centers nationwide. The co-op also includes several thousand independent hardware stores. The combined buying power of this large group allows Masterson’s to offer a wide selection of products at very competitive prices.
Masterson’s currently employs 15 to 20 people in season and is open all year with extended hours in the spring and summer seasons. While we are still a family owned and operated business, we are very fortunate to have many knowledgeable, friendly and dedicated professionals on our staff who are always ready to answer your questions and help with whatever it is you need.
