They offer both indoor and outdoor plants and have an amazing selection every time I visit--always great quality and pest-free. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you're getting. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful; they've even marked/held plants for me a few times over the years and always followed through once the plants were inspected. Highly recommend!

The first thing I thought was how peaceful it was. The ambiance was very soothing and the people were friendly. They had a great selection of flowers and veggies. There are more veggies at the other location I think but still a nice selection with varieties you won't find at most big box stores. The woman working asked if I needed help and she showed me everything I asked for then checked on me again during my visit. The plants are reasonably priced for the quality. I would highly recommend this store!

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.

I ordered over 500 sqft of Sod. The ordering process was pretty easy and the person who took my…read moreorder was knowledgeable and friendly. I was happy with the company up until it was time for the delivery. There was no option to pick up the sod on my own at my convenience. Then the delivery was scheduled between 6am and 8am on a Saturday morning which was not ideal for my project to begin with but what can you do? To make matters worse, the sod was delivered just after 4am (nearly 2 hours before the delivery window) which woke up probably half the neighborhood including me. I got up to direct the delivery person where to place the sod and noticed the delivery person had already left and made no attempt to make contact with me before dropping the pallet off on the street (public property). Very disappointing!

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.

Scheduling was easy and she kept in touch with me via text regarding delivery logistics. Once we had everything set, I was able to pay by phone and the driver showed up soon after. It's clear to me that the people at this company pride themselves on providing excellent customer service and support from beginning to end. Plus, they're just nice. Delivery- he was so incredibly friendly and accommodating. I wanted the bark dumped in two different areas, that aren't easy to access because our road is pretty narrow, and it was no problem for him at all. He has some mad truck maneuvering skills! Don't be afraid to ask them for what you need.

Later that same day they called to tell me that the carburetor was unresponsive (which I knew because I had already checked for spark), and that the plastic carburetor was unserviceable. They offered to replace the carburetor, install a new air filter and sharpen the blade (other services that I did not request) for $270 (a similar brand new lawnmower is $249 at Home Depot). I declined further service and when I went to pick up my lawnmower they charged me $45 for doing nothing more than removing the air filter (which was still off when I received the lawnmower). I feel that Furber Saw, Inc. attempted to upsell for parts and services that I did not request and that I was price gouged for non-performance work left unaccomplished.
