    Horrible quality and even worse customer service!…read more I was extremely disappointed with my order from plantclearance.com (SoCal Nursery). I received an Azalea that arrived severely stressed and completely dehydrated. I reached out to customer service "George" expecting a replacement plant or a refund, but his response was "Just water it." For the price paid, I expected a healthy plant, not a resuscitation project. Telling a customer to water a plant that arrived in this condition is a complete brush-off. Save your money and buy from a nursery that actually stands behind the quality of their plants. I won't be shopping here again.

    I ordered from them last year (via their Plantclearance.com website), and was sure to place a large…read moreorder ($600+) to get shipment to Northern California. Communication wasn't the greatest, but once the plants arrived... they were in good condition, and very decent quality for the price. My wife wanted some more Santa Rita cactus this year, but we don't have enough space or need for a $600 order, so we opted to pay the extra NorCal shipping fee for our order... they contacted us and said they would not ship it unless we bought $600 worth. I told them never mind, then, and to just cancel and refund the order. George replied "Ok sure ill check to see what we can do for you. Thanks" ... this was over a month ago, but I never got a refund, and the order is still just listed as processing/pending, and the order was placed in NOVEMBER. I have opened a BBB dispute, but the BBB just keeps saying they can't get a response. Guess I have to dispute the charge on my card or take them to small claims court...

There was so much to see, and we genuinely enjoyed our visit. Mark and Larry were absolutely awesome! They were both so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Mark was especially patient and incredibly knowledgeable with all of our questions. He took the time to explain everything and made the experience even more enjoyable. This was our second visit, and once again, we had such a great experience. It's always nice finding a place where the selection is great and the people genuinely care about helping you.

But when the guy brought it he told me that he wouldn't put it in the hole that I dug, even though they told me they would put it anywhere I wanted. *THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THEM NOT PUTTING IT IN A HOLE!* I even said to the salesperson that I had to hurry home and get it dug. They had SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES to let me know that they in fact WOULD NOT put it anywhere I wanted, as they told me they would. I'm a disabled person who had a stroke there's absolutely no way that I can move this thing by myself. This is where the delivery driver left it. So they totally lied to me about it and took my money and left me with no way to get this in the hole. I really liked the place because it had a nice selection but their customer service is poor. 2 of the 3 employees that I interacted with had bad attitudes and were totally unprofessional. I would steer far far away from this place. I wouldn't have bought this tree had I known that they weren't going to do what they said they would do

    Well, where to start? The location is fantastic just north of Upland and across the street from the…read moreshopping centers. I had always glanced over this location, and on this day happened to be in the market for some soil. The lot was thriving, not too crowded. People were looking about and soon a staff member took the time to show me some of their soil options and potting mixes. I settled on the organic palm and cactus mix. It was not dry upon opening, which I'm glad it was not, so far it's proving to be a fairly good quality. There's still some leftover in the yard. I saw many plants there. They had some pink aloe vera, along with a wide selection of succulents, which was nice to see. I had my eye set on something a little bit different though, an elephant bush. I knew they had some because some of the arrangements included elephant bush. So I just had to ask!Well, to my surprise they were more than happy to give me a longer tour of the southern part of the nursery, where they had far more sizes, big and small. I got to see some gigantic ones that I never expected to encounter in larger pots. Thank you Vic! It goes without saying I was impressed. Speaking about Vic, I just wanna say, many of the staff members were welcoming and went above and beyond to give me what I wanted. I was really impressed with Vic's extensive knowledge on house plants and his ability to help me find the size of this wonderful plant. Where I feel that most sales people would push you to buy a particular one item, Vic offered me choices, which I appreciate 100%. It's safe to say that type of salesmanship demands respect, and I will probably be coming back when I'm ready. Outside of my own personal experience, I noticed they have a variety of pots and fertilizers for all your growing needs. Always nice to see an assortment of pots and accessories for the home garden folk. Furthermore, Vic recommended a fantastic product as an addition to my watering routine, which within days has brought tremendous results. The plants absolutely love it, it amazing to think that this trip offered the plant, the service, and now the reassurance that if ever needed, they will be there to help answering any questions. That's all folks. If you have a problem with your project, there is no doubt they have the personnel to assist. Was a quick trip for me, but be prepared for an assortment of plant species and offerings.

We briefly discussed what I was looking to do in my backyard, and I asked if someone could come out for a site visit to see the space and better understand the project. Anthony scheduled an appointment with me for Monday, August 10 at 11:00 AM. I texted him my address along with several inspiration photos beforehand. Unfortunately, 11:00 AM came and went with no sign of Anthony and no call or text letting me know he was running late or needed to reschedule. I reached out to him to ask if we were still on for that day and never received a response. I still haven't heard from him or anyone else from the company. I understand that schedules change and things come up, but completely missing a scheduled appointment and then not responding at all is disappointing and unprofessional. I'm giving one star because they were initially quick to respond to my inquiry, but unfortunately, the communication ended there.

Prices are comparable to places nearby, we let them know about a better price down the road and they matched. Not a big difference in price but I did appreciate that they did match. We bought 3 plants on this trip. There was a young gentleman there that was very helpful, he knew wheee everything was in the property! When I say your gentleman, I mean he was about 13 and was knowledgeable on where the plants were by name. Good spot to stop by, I really recommend these nursery.

    .., came here on 1/2/26 & sadly had an awkward & annoying experience…read more Our family loves to garden and I had been wanting to take my mother here for quite some time. Was in the neighborhood with my girlfriend and her parents & decided to finally check it out. The nursery has street parking and has signs making it easy to find. Walking up you immediately see the wide variety of pottery & plants that they have. I was pretty excited to dive in and see what they had to offer. Within 2 minutes of being there, literally 2 minutes we were greeted by a little boy. He ran up with a smile and stood there watching us. We said hello and he just nodded. We thought that's cute, and didn't think much of it. We haven't even begun our exploration when he followed us every step of the way, at times bumping elbows with us? We were taken by surprise because of how close he would get to us, it gave that feeling of him watching us as if we were going to steal something. He began running around us in circles, eventually grabbing a stick and tapping things next to us and playing around. Kids will be kids, I gave him that but this was way too much. My girlfriend's mother would at times bend over to look at a plant and he'd run past her making her have to step back or step forward awkwardly to let him by. We couldn't look in peace, it was impossible to even try with him squeezing in between us or running around us. It got annoying really fast, to the point where I was embarrassed that I took my girlfriend and her parents hyping it up to them saying that I've heard good things about this place. We eventually told the little boy that it's ok, we don't need help and we'll call him if we needed him but he didn't listen and stayed even closer after? Not long after another little boy, a little older ran up to check on us and probably seen the annoyed looks we had because he left us alone. At this point I was already turned off to even being there. I glanced at some prices and from what I had seen, some seemed kind of pricey while others seemed like a good deal. As we were leaving, I had noticed a woman sitting there with her kids and waved at her but she didn't wave back. I waved again and she just looked at me? So, that was awkward. Great selection, great space, this nursery had a nice variety of fountains, pottery, statues, and plants but to be constantly watched by this kid was definitely uncomfortable. I'm all for supporting family businesses, so I'll give this place another chance and bring my Mom because she's been wanting to go. Hopefully it's not always like this, otherwise we'll just bring our business elsewhere.

Adam was amazing at coordinating all the many jobs to be done. We are so pleased with the work, Mario did such a thorough job, he works hard and with precision. The concrete driveway and curbing came out so beautifully. We love our new DG pathway with the mower's edge curbing. They filled our horseshoe driveway with 3/4 crush rock and we've gotten so many compliments from our neighbors. They installed an automatic irrigation system, which makes life much easier not to have to worry about turning water off and on. We opted for single trunk Crepe Myrtle trees in every color available. They all look great and have acclimated well to their new home, even in this heat. The work was completed in three weeks. Fast, clean, reliable workmanship and just a fine young man in charge of multitasking and handling it all. There were a couple of minor issues that we easily worked through.

Our plans had several interesting species of drought-tolerant plants. We wanted to work with a company that was affordable and had extensive experience. After doing a lot of searching and asking many questions to just about every local garden center, Arise stood out among the rest. Not only are they fairly priced, but the owner (Rigo) was easy to get a hold of and made sure he provided us with all the plant species we asked for. He also delivered them to us with a 24 to 48 hour turn-around time which was important because we needed time to get the plant order in the ground before the rainy season. Literally all other local gardening centers in Chino, Montclair, Claremont, etc...were either standard or limited in their selection, or severely overpriced. Arise is a local business worth supporting because they are in touch with what other gardening centers are failing to provide do-it-yourself landscapers: great advice, accessibility, and the best prices.
