My wife and I purchased a Mexican Blue Fan Palm that includes one large center tree surrounded by 5 smaller trees. Adam and his crew did and outstanding job. They arrived early, promptly dug a significant hole about 4 feet diameter and 2.5 feet deep. Four guys muscled the collection of trees off the truck and got planted pronto. They cleaned up and were on their way. Total time on scene was perhaps an hour. I'm a satisfied repeat customer and won't hesitate to return to Moon Valley for my focal point landscaping needs in the future. read more

Jerrod Jerabek from Moon Valley Escondido is to be highly praised for the following. Excellent communication texted to say he was 45 min away. Arrived right on time. Polite ,knowledgeable, cheerful ,pleasant and willing to go the extra mile to inform me about future watering and fertilizer. Was kind enough to show me where to purchase a "water probe" to see the depth of watering my plants in the days ahead. Jerrod , presented him self well and is a great ambassador for Moon Nurseries. You we be most fortunate if he is the individual who arrives for your MVP soil injections. Floyd Humphreys read more

Spent $10,000 on a new tree with this place about a year ago. All went fairly well with that transaction but was promised a lot of follow up, aftercare and attentive service. Nothing. Called for a quote on tree trimming for other trees on our property. Reached out to them four times without response. Again nothing happened. Received a flyer from their corporate headquarters and managed to get an appointment for the tree trimming analysis. Scheduled a visit and they had to cancel because of staff shortages. No follow up. Then ghosted us. Very disappointed. read more

What a wonderful experience is waiting for you at Moon Valley Nursery! My wife and I were in search of just the right tree. Maggie warmly greeted us and took us on the magical mystery tour in her John Deere chariot. And do they ever have some beautiful trees. We ended up with a Majestic Ash which was planted in our front yard a week later by a friendly, informative and efficient crew. We couldn't be happier. read more

7 years later, the trees are healthy and gorgeous ! We are so happy we found Moon Valley . The local landscaper who said we paid too much was wrong - when the crêpe Myrtle's lost their leaves the following fall, he told us they had died. Wrong again!! that's what crêpe myrtles are supposed to do! read more

Highly Recommend - Customer centric business Incredible experience with Moon Valley Escondido. I went to several nurseries in the SD area and after much planting over the years I finally found the nursery for my projects from great healthy trees to screening, hedges & ornamental grasses. My whole family came on the initial visit including dogs. The sales rep Hayden Salught kindly greeted us & captured what we were looking for / great listening skills, there was never pushing just advising, a wealth of knowledge & familiarity with the expansive Moon Valley yard. We quickly noticed the quality of the trees & plants compared to other nurseries including sister locations. We found Escondido to have superior plants/trees & the rest of the sales team: mangers Mike & Phil were a big help to get over the finish line. We had a wonderful buying experience & the prices were competitive but again the quality & included services on reflection was greatest value. Trees are absolutely an investment the best advice is to plant them right! On delivery, everything that we selected - trees, screening, hedges & ornamental grasses showed up in perfect condition. And this is where I would say Moon Valley further separates itself - the team of skilled planting professionals. Huge shoutout to the planting Dream Team: Field Leader Oscar Estrada (Regional Manger) with foreman Luis Cruz, Carlos (Charlie), Max, Jose. Also had 2 other solutions field members Papi, Jose. I can't express enough of how great the field team is "Seamless" "Precise" & "Execution." Thank you!!! My trees & landscaping look incredible very happy from purchase to planting. Absolutely returning. Big thank you to the entire Moon Valley team. read more

Great nursery. Friendly staff. Ask for Marquez if he's there. It's obvious how much he loves plants and knows his stuff.

I can't say enough good things about Andre! He listened to my needs and read every label on their products to make sure he was giving me a product that was okay for my oak trees. He also went above and beyond to teach me about the products I was purchasing. As we did a tour of the nursery he showed me all the options for what I wanted and made sure I picked out the perfect trees. I can't wait to continue to work with Andre! His customer service and attention to detail is hard to find. Thanks for the positive experience, Andre! read more

Moon Valley Nurseries - Kentia Palm happy and beautiful in its new home! - Landscaping Near Me - Escondido, California

Love going to Moon Valley Nurseries in Escondido. Met Maggie first off and she was super friendly and helpful. Our plan was to try and get our current trees back to normal and purchase a Persimmons tree. Maggie explained some issues with our current plum tree and suggested some fixes with personal notes. That was cool. We then went to look at trees. Unfortunately, the trees we looked at were too big for our location. No pressure sales from Maggie and we returned to purchase some fertilizers that she explained again to us. Even gave us a buy one get one free. Never realized the science behind growing a plant. Now I do. Thanks for everything Maggie! I'll be calling you back in a few months. read more

New to California, and just moved into our new home. We were quick to learn that there are many things you need to do when you build a new home - one of which is designing and installing a backyard! We did that this past summer but needed something to finish the job, and decided a tree would be the finishing touch. We met with Louie Towkaniuk at the Murietta location, and he spent as much time as we needed to look at, ask questions about, and finally choose the tree we both loved (and more importantly) fit our budget. Our tree was tagged, and a delivery date was set. A few weeks later, John and his team arrived at our home with our new bottlebrush tree, and did a clean and professional installation of our tree. I provided a tarp for the dirt as we have a beach pebble covered backyard (drought friendly!) and they not only placed the tree perfectly (we decided which side was the best to face which way) but they made sure the irrigation was working as it should, then removed the dirt for us, as we had no place to put it. Our tree is happy and healthy in its new home, and we are thrilled with how awesome it looks in our new yard. I have no doubt when and if we decide to add any other trees or plantings, we will give Louie another call! Thanks for making our place awesome guys! read more

Best customer service experience ever! Stopped by last Friday afternoon after work and expected to be rushed out the door. The women (I lost her card) who took care of me was so patient, thorough, and friendly. I was buying a small order but I was made to feel like my business and time was important. Honestly can't say enough good things, left with a big smile on my face and some great plants read more

Maggie was/is great-very knowledgeable, polite, efficient. She showed us exactly what we wanted. We bought 3 trees and 15 other plants. We will probably be back for more soon. Highly recommend her and Moon Valley. Cheers, Walt read more

I absolutely love shopping here. Every year I get a live Christmas tree from this nirsery. Tiffany os who I spoke to last time I was there and she was awesome . She gave me a tour and was so helpful and explaining the various needs of plants and they always have such a great, extraordinarily healthy variety. This year we were lucky enough that they donated a bunch of pumpkins to our newly opened animal sanctuary. Thank you guys so much for always being so reliable, and so patient and great with customers! I love just going to to your nursery. I've always had the best experience. read more

I've been to most of the Moon Valley Nursery sites in San Diego, I found them all have Wonderful selections of every kind of plants. I bought a multi-trunk Jacaranda from this Escondido location, and they babysat it for me for several months until I was ready to plant it. I also bought a number of bougainvilleas, most of them from this Escondido location. I got to know several of the sales people at this store, and they were all extremely helpful and patient answering my numerous questions. The manager, Philip, was really helpful when I came to pick up the 24" Box Jacaranda, and load it onto my trailer. Philip oversaw the whole operation and threw in some nice amendments for the tree. I can heartily recommend the Escondido Moon Valley Nursery to anyone looking for an outstanding selection of every kind of plant, along with really stellar service. Good job, guys! read more

George Bermude and his team did an exceptional job at our home planting more than 40 plants. They were thoughtful, clean and made sure that everything was planted where we wanted it to be. George is mindful and calls to check on the time of arrival, I was impressed on his punctuality and his manners. It was a pleasure to work with George and cannot wait to work again with him on another project. read more

Moon Valley is a nursery for those of privilege. If you're looking for a large order or if you're only searching for "mature trees" this could be a viable option for you. Remember though, this is a place for people where money is no object. My experiences here have always been reminiscent of a timeshare sales pitch. You'll be shuttled around in a side-by-side with a salesperson. They'll assess you out right away, inquiring a about your budget. From there it's about selling you that their prices are great because they include delivery and planting... But just like a timeshare sales pitch, they'll always have a counter to your price concerns. The prices? The prices are the highest you'll see anywhere. They do this because their core buyers are wealthy people who want an older tree and they don't like gardening. They're willing to pay a high price for that privilege. For the rest of us, you'll quickly cross Moon Valley off your list. Here's a real example of the price differences here vs. elsewhere. They were only selling one size of a tree I was looking for at Moon Valley. Not a fully grown tree but ones with several years of growth. A little larger than what local nurseries sell. They looked great and were healthy. So including delivery, planting and their "warranty" it was about $1000 per tree. Same tree, smaller/younger, small enough to put in tuck or maybe suv, self plant, with limited warranty is about $150 at pretty much all other nurseries in town. You're paying for an older tree and for them to delivery and plant.. That's one hell of a markup and that's for one tree. If you're not rich should you still come to Moon Valley? Whenever I've come here it's because they have a huge selection AND their trees are a few years older than what other nurseries sell. It gives me a perspective of what my younger trees will look like in a few years. There is value to that. - Don't come here if you have a hard time saying no to salespeople. - If you're on a timeline be sure to ask what their delivery/planting time is UP FRONT.. They sheepishly said 4 to 6 weeks when asked. read more

From the very beginning, even prior to our purchase, we have had a terrific experience with Moon Valley Nursery in Escondido! Everyone we have encountered has been helpful and gone out of their way to make us feel like we truly matter to them whether at our home or at their location. A special shout out goes to Fred Aguiano!!! He has been there every step of the way from planning to sales to installation!! He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of landscaping and offers his advice when appropriate but is not pushy. He really is a delight to work with! He is the one of the main reasons we selected Moon Valley for our extensive landscaping job - and the decision has turned out better than we could have imagined! Also, Adam has done a superb job with the installation. Everything looks great, and the job site has been left tidy! Thank you Moon Valley!!! We will be back for Phase 2! read more

Very helpful staff and a huge selection of plants. Wish I had stopped here years ago!

Adam and his crew from Escondido did a Great job today installing 4 Cypress trees on our steep backyard. Very professional work.

We walked in to the office area and immediately met a friendly face. Maggie was our sales person and was extremely attentive and helpful. I kept trying to get her to finish her lunch and she would not do it, simply attending to our questions and concerns. We had come in for the purchase of some fruit trees, and to our surprise found out that Maggie was the expert in this field. She drove us down through the nursery, so we could look at the various types of fruit trees, and she explained her vast knowledge during the whole time. If I had questions, she was glad to back the Golf Cart up so I could see certain trees. She was very patient and spent about two hours with us. She will be coming to our home to look at the area we want to use for the fruit trees that we purchased. We are very excited about this new addition to our home as we purchased 13 fruit trees! I could not recommend a better person to represent Moon Valley nurseries. She is very accommodating and even tried to help us with their 0% financing offer. Although, the bank took multiple attempts to answer the phone. Maggie is just great and I recommend her to anyone interested in any of the products that the nursery has to offer! read more

Our first time to visit this nursery and we were very impressed. The selection of trees, flowers and plants is superb. I really appreciate how they assured that what we were buying was fully acclimated to our environment. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too. read more

I had some inquiries so I used the chat on their website. This was my first and last interaction with this company. The person I was chatting with, a woman whose name began with A, was pretty rude. She took my contact info and said someone would be in touch. I never heard back. I see there are a lot of negative reviews and I believe them fully. read more

Mark Going took us on a wonderful tour of of the nursery. We love all of our purchases!

Thank you to Luis and his crew for planting our trees. Luis had great people skills and quick to please. Our satisfaction as buying customers was his primary concern and I will definitely recommend him for planting any future trees we plant in our yard. Luis and his crew receive an "A" for excellence. Hayden sold us the trees and was very personable and respectful. He came out to our home and followed up with making sure we were satisfied. Hayden worked with us and I never felt like it was all about the commission. He was the tip of the spear for providing great service and making sure we were happy with the product we purchased. read more

We wanted a ficus hedge put around our property for privacy. After looking around, we contacted Moon nursery in Escondido and was fortunate Fred Anguiano was on duty. He gave us a tour of the nursery and we talked about our problems. He agreed that we should have ficus. He came out to our home and did a on-site review. He helped us with the plans and planting the trees. Fred Anguiano at Moon's nursery was very helpful in acquiring the plants and getting them planted in the ground. He came out five different times to inspect our property, the trees and the planting process. When a question came up, he was right there to answer the phone and answer our questions. We were very comfortable with Fred at Moons nursery and the work that was accomplished. We absolutely recommend to ask for Fred Anguiano. It was a five star service all the way!! read more

Citrus trees are in quarantine in many places right so we were having trouble finding a dwarf citrus tree for our garden. We stopped at Moon Valley in Oceanside and they directed us to their Escondido location where we found the perfect Gold Nugget tangerine tree and an awesome glazed pot to put it in. We had Moon Valley deliver and pot the tree and Jose and his crew did an amazing job. We had such a great experience with Moon Valley. Our little tree is flourishing and we are looking forward to many happy years together. read more

We had our crape myrtle tree delivered yesterday. This is the first time we've bought a large tree and had it planted. Anthony showed around the trees we were considering and gave advice on each one. He followed up with giving us info and tree food for when it would be delivered. Yesterday was the big day. The tree looked bigger on the truck than we thought it would be, but the guys delivering it reassured us that once it was in the ground it would be what we had envisioned. The team that planted our tree was awesome. They were friendly, polite, and covid-safe. From start to finish, they worked hard and efficiently. The end result was exactly what we had pictured in our minds. We still plan to add another tree to our front yard this time, and we'll come back to Moon Valley. Thank you, Moon Valley and Anthony! And thank you so much for your hard work & friendliness, Edgar, Miguel, William, Victor, & Benjamin!! read more

We are so happy with the entire process from purchasing to planting our new trees. Yes it was an investment but you get so much for your money. The trees we chose were mature and gorgeous. Jared was our design specialist and he was so knowledgeable about the best trees for our slope and weather conditions. We decided on a Palo Verde and fruitless Olive Tree The planting crew headed up by Antonio Martinez completely exceeded our expectations. They were professional and considerate to our existing landscape and retaining walls. They cleaned up everything perfectly . We love our new trees and can't wait to watch them grow. read more

We used Moon Valley Nursery to remove a 25 year old Canary Islands Palm when it became infected with South American Palm Weavils. They also removed the stump and planted a new King Palm. Three teams of workers were required, one to cut down the tree (2 days); another to remove the stump (2 days); and a third to deliver and plant the new tree (1 day). All three teams were great each day they left our yard and patio swept and hosed off clean as a whistle. Would definitely usr Moon Valley again! read more

I seriously tried to use these guys, but had a very unimpressive experience. I could not make sense of their prices. But I tried further by going in to see the trees in person. My contact wasn't available so he connected me with his "manager". What a disappointment! This guy knew nothing! He did not know the difference between species and made stuff up as he went, using Google in real time. But just to top it off, the guy was sick with what sounded like covid or bronchitis! So after exposing me to his virus while on the cart, wasting my time with his lack of knowledge about anything, I walked back to my car disappointed again. And now I am coming down with something, probably caught from him. This experience was unprofessional on so many levels, I give up! read more

Have not received my delivery & palm adjustment yet - will adjust my review if needed next week... but it has been another knock out of the park for this company. My first foray into using Moon Valleys services was last year with Sean Boyd setting me up with some killer citrus and a couple of key pieces, "backyard tropics" and in front a palm and an African tulip. The palm (which I fortunately purchased the no questions asked insurance on) started to tilt with the very rainy weather we have been having this year with bomb cyclones and atmospheric rivers etc (every local knows what I mean/2023 right?!) This year (and really only last week) I connected with Cody (former Marine/shout out Devil Dog) and he was so so so helpful. Not only did he schedule me in an incredibly timely way to take care of the palm but also set me up with a ton of smaller items for the ongoing health of my plants and a ton of delivered soil for pot plants and raised beds. I recognize that there is likely cheaper/more budgetary options out there, especially with so many talented backyard growers but I have now had two distinct experiences with Moon valley and their team and thus far they have been worth every penny. I appreciate their professionalism every step of the way and I like to think I am a judicious buyer who would not just "throw"money away but rather choose the right folks and product for the job. Thank you Cody this time and Sean last time. read more
