Two employees that were on shift didn't say anything to me until I was cashing out and at that time I overheard a female employee just bashing and venting and bitching about corporate decisions and lack of communication.... Now I totally understand that frustration but she said it loud enough that I think the funeral home a quarter mile away heard her.... Not professional. The dude who actually cashed me out was sooooo blasé I almost thought he was a zombie.... Un engaging and just a bore... I guess I'll tell ppl to go to a different location.

I had a small…read morepot that I wanted to fill with flowers, but because there were so many choices, I sought assistance. Gianna, and two other amazingly helpful plant experts worked together to find the perfect flowering combination for my pot. While they searched, I strolled through the nursery's beautiful grounds. There were so many colorful flowers, gorgeous plants and trees, and an abundance of vegetable to choose from. Gianna came over to show me what they had chosen, and I couldn't have been more pleased! They took into consideration the amount of light my pot would get, and even chose flowers that would compliment the color of my front steps-so thoughtful Prices were on par for high quality plants. I paid $31.65 for the three beautiful, hand picked plants (Gianna is holding them in one of the pics!) There are so many more positive things that I could say about my experience at Orchard Nursery!, but I recommend that you go and see for yourselves. Also, don't forget to pop into Lazy K's gift shop. It's the charming little house off to the right-full of lovely treasures. The team clearly loves what they do, and takes pride in their work. I highly recommend Orchard Nursery for any plant needs, or if you just want to stroll through their beautiful nursery!

This review has been a long time coming!…read more So incredibly stoked on my pixie cut! Randomly saw a girl in a Safeway parking lot with the cutest pixie cut ever-- I had one already, but it had been growing out. I have, I repeat, I have never approached a stranger on where they've gotten their haircut before but I had such a visceral reaction to how well done her hair was-- that I had to ask her. She told me she'd gotten it done at Fringe and Fern Collective, a salon I hadn't heard of until right that moment, I was beyond thrilled. I called Fringe and Fern immediately and asked after the person who had just done a pixie cut that afternoon and BOOM-- made an appointment with Kyle for the following week! I've kept my hair short now for the past couple of years due to thinning hair especially on the sides. Most hair stylists I've been to have either cut my hair way too short on the sides which always ends up showing too much of my scalp and how painfully thin it is or kept it much longer than I prefer. Kyle will take his time figuring out exactly what I want and manages to keep my hair looking fuller on the sides while achieving the shortness I wanted all around. A hair stylist with that kind of attention to detail has been so hard to find. My hair always grows out really nice in between haircuts as well, which is great. I tend to go 4-6 weeks between cuts. I'm also super awkward at small talk, but Kyle has a way to make you feel at ease which is so important when you're in introvert. lol Fringe and Fern Collective is located on South Main and Newell Ave, next to George's Giant Hamburger and Pacific Bay Coffee and right across from Kaiser. Parking can be a little tricky as the shopping center is in a narrow corner lot, so recommend leaving a few minutes earlier before your appt to snag a parking spot. Anyhow, if you're looking for the perfect pixie cut, look no further, Kyle is the way to go!

The weeds in my front yard were overwhelming and not very attractive, but I was indecisive about what to do. The one thing I DID know was that I wanted something low maintenance and didn't require water. My neighbor suggested that I try landscaping rocks in my front yard. And recommended that I call Macalvey's Nursery because he had a great experience with them as well. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Juan, the manager and his staff and shared my ideas. They gave me a lot of great ideas and showed me different types of gravel and rocks and offered their expertise about how I should handle all the prep work. I would give them 10 stars if I could! So if you're looking for a nice friendly place with good ideas and service and lots of different gravel, rocks, and landscaping options----- THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!

Warning: Be very cautious if you order from Macalvey's Nursery on Alhambra Way in Martinez…read more We ordered and paid for 5 cubic yards of paver base. We moved it ourselves using 3-gallon buckets -- exactly 225 buckets total. That equals about 90 cubic feet, which is only 3.3 cubic yards. For comparison, 5 cubic yards should be 135 cubic feet. We were almost 2 cubic yards short. When we tried to resolve this, my husband even went in person and was willing to pay again for the missing amount just so we could finish our project. Instead of making it right, they told us we'd also have to pay another delivery fee and completely denied that they had shorted us. When I called to follow up, I was brushed off. This was very disappointing. Not only did we not get what we paid for, but the company refused to take responsibility. As I can see there are similar issues reported by other customers here.

The layout is organized and it's easy to find what you're looking for, but if you can't find something it seems an associate is always nearby to help.

There is a separate building dedicated to grilling supplies and accessories. They have a large and wide selection of pellets, briquettes, wood chips and a mind-bending wall of seasonings.
