Established in 1999, Backbone Valley Nursery is family owned by the Robertson and Martin families. Our family takes pride in what we do and we strive to provide the very best plants, products, and services in the Highland Lakes area. Our staff is trained to provide you with information and advice that we stand behind. We believe in educating the public and teaching why we do things the way we do so you can take that knowledge and use it at home.

Backbone started as a wholesale tree nursery and has grown to a full service garden center and tree farm that offers complete landscape design and installation. In 2010, we started growing the Texas Mountain Laurel for the wholesale trade. Our business is centered on a philosophy of offering the best knowledge and plant product to the wholesale and retail public. We pride ourselves on doing quality work and giving sound advice that we stand behind. We are a teaching facility and love to help our customers with questions and problems.
