Let me start by saying that I'm SO excited to finally have a Native nursery in the Newark/ Fremont…read morearea! I also love supporting local businesses. That being said, I checked this out with my neighbor on it's opening day... and it's cute and I know they are just starting out, however the prices were a bit insane. I usually have NO problem paying a little more to support local, privately owned businesses, however I bought 3 little seedlings that had just barely begun to sprout.. and they ranged from $6- $9. I paid it because they had some plants that I had been searching all over the East Bay for... but these seedlings were BARELY 3cm tall. And when I say barely I mean they had barely sprouted. If I'm going to be paying $9 for a plant, I would expect it to at least be 6-8 inches tall at the very least. Also, if we want to encourage people to buy locally and purchase native plants, I feel like it needs to be affordable. I will keep re-visiting this nursery because I'm excited to see how it develops but I hope they re-think their pricing scales because these plants were not established and I prob won't pay that again. Happy to support their grand opening though.

Answered the phones quickly, knew what I needed and how much based on my cubic yard estimate (they converted to tons for me), and BAM, BOOM, DONE - order was placed on Wednesday, Thursday was a holiday, and it was delivered late Friday morning as promised. The driver was friendly, professional, and worked the truck through the tight street like nothing and dumped the DG in the sweet spot of my driveway. I would/will definitely use Tri City Rock - Just 'Tri' them! They 'Rock'! :) thanks TCR!

This is an extremely rude company with horrible customer service. I wish I could have given them…read morezero stars. Norma in the office is extremely unprofessional, and Eddie who acts like a supervisor but probably isn't was even more rude and condescending. From the very first interaction when I walked in, they made me feel like I don't understand anything. When I asked a simple question, it was met with a rude smirk and "it is what it says it is". I was there to place a large order but there was absolutely no way that I would have done it after this experience. They speak to customers as if they're doing you a favor, even though you're the one giving them business. When I questioned their rudeness, they just shrugged and made fun of me Completely unacceptable and something I have not seen anywhere else. Do not do business with this company. There are several other better options with reasonable pricing annd good customer service elsewhere.

Osborne is a long standing business and a part of the history of the development of the bay area…read more Ever since moving here a long time ago, I had seen their marked lumber everywhere. Now that I'm finally finishing up a remodel and new build of my own, we used Osborne as well as another close-by lumber yard. Osborne had everything the other lumber yard didn't and Brandon and Sean worked with our builder and gave us a lot of info on matching load rating while using less expensive lumber. Loved working with them and found them to be a key resource to our project. Definitely understand their longevity.

I've been a member of the Fremont Garden Club for several years now, and have thoroughly enjoyed…read morethe experience. The club meets on the 3rd Wednesday of every month from February through October, usually in member homes or gardens (although last year several meetings were held at Dale Hardware). There is usually a speaker at each meeting, and topics range from "Tool Care" to "Water Features & Water Plants" to "Canning Our Summer Harvest", and just about anything else you can think of related to gardening. The club also hosts tours of member's gardens, and organizes trips to nurseries and large gardens in the greater Bay Area. The size of the club fluctuates, but it usually has around 35-50 members, not all of whom attend every meeting. It's a fun and educational group, and I find the $25 annual membership fee to be quite reasonable ($35 for married couples).

It's also great to get together with others who enjoy learning about gardening and have snacks and listen to experts on various topics. The club is very relaxed and is comprised of all age groups, which I think makes it a lot more fun.

Came in based on the recommendation of a friend who is in the landscaping business. I had a chance…read moreto interact with Brad in the office. He is a super great guy and extremely helpful. He helped guide my turf decision and was not guiding it to the more expensive product, but more about my needs and budget. They have a display in the lobby and sample pieces that you are able to take home. The cost of their turf compared to Ewing is so much less. If you are considering synthetic turf, make sure to come by and visit these guys. It will be worth your time and money! What did I learn today? The turf samples were perfect to take home for the family to weigh in on.

The staff there spent a lot of time with me patiently showing me the various scaffold parts so I could make an informed decision on if that would work for my project and also what to expect when I put it together. They also offered delivery and pickup for an extra fee. The only part of the experience that was not as ideal is the staff member who helped me with the initial pricing and estimate forgot that delivery on the weekend (which is when I had delivery scheduled for) was more expensive than what he quoted me. I got estimates clearly stating a certain total price for the project, but afterward got charged extra. When I called to inquire, they said their policy was weekend delivery cost more and my initial estimate included their weekday delivery rate, not weekend, and they couldn't honor the weekday rate they quoted me in the estimates they had given me.
