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.

The new owner charged me $49 a scoop for fill dirt, I bought two scoops, I have never bought fill dirt before, so I didn't realize she had ripped me off. When they delivered it , it was short, and looked like they scraped off their yard, the driver agreed it was short, so he went back and got more. When I finally got ahold of Hannah the owner, to tell her she made a mistake on pricing, she argued that the price was right, even after I told her that her competitors charge, $8.50 to $15.00 a scoop. I was nice and polite when I talked to her, I asked her if she would be willing to make things right, and bring me more dirt for the value that I paid. ($100) she wouldn't budge, she actually started getting angry at me, so I said that's fine, I'll go elsewhere ( I went to Graham and got 7 full scoops for $59)

Awesome nursery! Lots of selections for plants and tree, ever changing with the season. Purchased soil, pallets of sod, fruit trees and shade trees from them. Always happy with the prices and the delivery as well! The staff plants the trees as well and did a great job, fruit trees are even bearing fruit in the first season.

I would give this business and owner less stars if I was able. We spent well over 400.00 at this nursery on plants and installation only to have every single plant except for 2 to die. The owner gave us care instructions for the plants which was followed exactly as she told us. Needless to say after they appeared to be dying we reached out to her and she tells me you didn't water them enough. I reminded the owner we followed YOUR instructions! She did not offered to try to make it right . I guess all that matters is she got her almost 500.00 and good customer service is not important! Never get our business again.

I love Mark and Nellie's Nursery. I have been going to them ever since I moved up to the HD.I have purchased landscaping and concrete garden statues which have enhanced my home. Now they carry decorative rock and I will be buying that too to freshen up my existing rock.Their plants have always thrived so I wasnt wasting my money. The home store plants were hit and miss since they usually are grown out of state in a different climate.9/21 Purchased some gold decorative rock. It matched my existing rock. Hard to find. Looks great.
