I used to go here alot for plants and gravel. They got sold.
I was last here in September 21.
Today I want to get some California Gold gravel. Which they said they had. For 5 bucks a 5 gallon bucket.
Once there an older male, probably the new owner, said it would be 10 bucks. And that my orange Homer Home Depot FIVE GALLON buckets were 10 gallons. It says 5 gallons right on the bucket.
And, the California Gold gravel was NOT California Gold.
What kind of nursery owner doesnt even know what a standard 5 gallon bucket looks like.
I left. What a joke and ripoff. Too bad they got sold. The former owners were so nice and helpful. This new owner had the personality of stale potato. NONE. I'll have to find a new nursery that is customer friendly. This one isn't anymore.

Do not buy firewood from this place! It is not seasoned. I usually go to Sepulveda building materials in San Bernardino for my Wood every year but my big truck was broken down so I went to what used to be Mark and Nelly's and I bought $200 worth of hard wood and had to take it back because it was not seasoned so then they gave me almond and this stuff doesn't burn either. We have a moisture gauge to where you put the prongs into the wood and it let you know how seasoned the wood is, it was between 27-42 % not seasoned

I had a "cord" of eucalyptus dumped off yesterday for $500.. My request was that I need stove cut which you said is between 16 and 20 inches. Only about half of it was between those numbers. I spent a good amount of time yesterday and this morning chopping it down with my miter saw to usable lengths. I am attaching photos of a typical piece (a few are near 30"). I'm also disappointed in the quality of the load. It looks like this mainly came from the scrap pile as most of the pieces are outer chunks or burl. I've cut a lot of wood in my 61 years of life and no what is scrap and what is not. In retrospect, I should have not accepted the load but it was off the truck before I had time to inspect it (the guy was in a tremendous hurry).

Got two cords of almond wood in 2021 that was supposed to be seasoned, properly cured. It was not. It was near impossible to get a fire started. Had to use cases of Fat Wood to get a fire going and keep it going. Now two later it fires right up. That's how I knew the wood was not seasoned when I got it. I won't be ordering from them again.

This is no longer owned by Mark and Nellie. It's been sold to some very nice people.on Bear Valley road. You can tell they love what they are doing. I forgot the new name, but you need to update. Their plants are well cared for! We bought 3 desert willows. And she gave me a sweet cactus.

I bought 2 scoops of firewood and asked if it was dry and was told yes. I got it home and stacked it, I tried to light it and it would not light. after splitting many pieces it was all green. this is the second time they sold me green wood that would not burn. The thing is I burn wood in my heat stove to keep my home heated and them selling green wood then not being able to burn it is serious. I called them and they said sorry you can bring it back, that is a lot of work. I went to Oak Hills nursery and bought a cord of eucalyptus and it was nice dry wood. I will have to wait until next winter to burn the wood I bought Mark & Nellies so it will dry out over the next summer. If you need good dry firewood don't buy from these guys.
