My husband and I went to several nurseries and called several others to try to find something that could be planted in our backyard to create a hedge effect. We finally settled on Acacia because of how very helpful the gentleman was when we stopped by. He explained several options and pros and cons of each and gave us a quote immediately. After further discussion we decided to proceed with the project and stopped by to make our payment. (We had priced out the same plant at 3 other locations which ranged anywhere from 3-7 dollars more expensive, PER plant!) We met with one of the new owners who was absolutely great to work with. She answered all of our questions and even let our dog hang in the office with us while we checked out. (I'm a sucker for any dog lovers!) The two gentleman who delivered our large order were thourough, experienced and extremely helpful!! They even got a pesky oleander out we had been fighting with for a few weeks!! We will only be using Acacia going forward due to their stellar customer assistance, knowledge, and price. Highly recommended!! read more

Acacia Nursery is a massive establishment with all manner of indoor and outdoor plants as well as a HUGE supply of ceramic pots and planters. They were very helpful and welcoming not only to us, but to our dog as well. We didn't buy anything during this visit. We were just trying to get the lay of the land, but we will definitely keep it in mind for the future! read more

We were so very iimpressed with the quality of work and guidance we received from Kevin, Doug, Rodrigo and the rest of the Acacia crew. The were professional, knowledgeable, courteous and incredibly hard working. They made the difficult appear easy. The team work amongst the crew was also excellent and noticeable. They know what they are doing. We look forward to doing more business with Acacia Nursery. These guys really knocked it out of the park. read more

Acacia Nursery - Covered plants! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Marana, Arizona

What a great find! This nursery is located off Tangerine Rd. in Marana. It's tucked back a bit from the road so be prepared or you might miss it! They have a great variety of plants and friendly experienced staff to help with any questions you may have. They were very knowledgeable and even helped identify plants we needed from a photo on our phone. The pricing is reasonable and pretty comparable to what you would find at large stores (Lowes, Home depot etc). But the best part of this place is the atmosphere. They have everything covered in shaded screens and the butterflies and birds are all over. Such a pleasant experience! I'll definitely be back! read more

Awesome. Great expertise and helpful. Wonderful experience. Even gave me name of another nursery to check out. Great selection of standard plantings and prices were reasonable read more

Great Nursery. Excellent Service. I am so glad to have found this nursery. I bought many plants and cacti-all at a reasonable price. When the guys came to plant what I bought, they were on time and very professional. They even added the necessary irrigation to my new plants. I could not be happier, and will only go to this nursery in the future. They did a wonderful job. PS I found this nursery by accident, after going to another nearby. It was a disappointing experience, as the employees there were VERY pushy. Acacia Nursery was the complete opposite, They were knowledgeable, helpful and gave great service. read more

Definitely the best nursery in Tucson. Amazing prices and the staff makes you feel like your apart of the family. They have horses and goats you can pet. Everything is well taken care of. I love being around these beautiful plants. read more

I had questions about saguaros and this place caught my eye. It's off of Tangerine and has a great selection. I was immediately greeted by Malinda one of the owners. She's so friendly and helpful in figuring out what your needs are. I also got to meet her husband Doug and Diesel the Frenchie. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do. read more

Helpful and friendly and fairly good price . We bought some bushes and plants with the help of them explaining what I needed for low watering. Will go back once i Need trees. read more

Excellent quality, great prices snd very helpful:friendly staff! Our new favorite nursery in Tucson!

Nice nursery, small but good selection. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Will definitely return.

This is a family owned-run business which I really liked. I hired Acacia to landscape my backyard and add a saguaro to my front. I was very happy with the plant selection they chose for me and my yard ended up looking even better than I hoped. The install crew, that includes a family member, did a fantastic job and they were the ones who had suggestion on the plant placement and they really knew what they were doing. Loved the company and staff. Will definitately use them again if/when need arises. Highly recommend. read more

What a great experience working with Acacia Nursery. Doug, the owner, is so knowledgeable and personable. He helped us pick out a lemon tree for our backyard. Super reasonable prices and a good selection of tree, shrubs, and cactus. They delivered on time and planted the tree within 45 minutes. We can't wait to go back and pick out some more plants to really make our yard look awesome. With Doug's help, I know we will choose the perfect plants. Keep in mind, some of the negative reviews on Yelp and Google seem to be in regards to the previous owner. Bottomline: An honest business with smokin deals read more

Owner is great to work with and his guys did a great job planting 6 new trees. I appreciate the guys hard work and the tour the owner gave. Great selection and locally owned. read more

They always do a great job. Very friendly. All the plants and trees that they have put in our backyard are thriving.

Best nursery in Pima County! Very reasonable and knowledgeable. We bought many plants, three trees and Acacia delivered everything, ran water and then checked to confirm everything working properly. The workers are gentleman and work quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend! read more

This desert nursery had exactly what I was searching for. I was like a kid in a candy store with all the Ocotillos I was able to choose from. They are all live and planted in the ground. I also picked up a hedge hog cactus at an excellent price. I scheduled an appointment to have it all installed. They were on schedule and they did a professional job planting. I also received a one year warranty on the Ocotillo. I will definitely shop here again in the near future. read more

Be weary of planning a trip specifically to view this nursery - we did and their gates were closed at an open time stated online (it was 10:30 am on a regular Monday). We have been there previously and they do have a big selection but so do many other nurseries nearby. We ended up going to Bach's nursery down the street because Acacia was "open" but actually closed and found that we liked Bach's better. Every worker we passed at Bach's asked if we needed help and were very friendly. I recall buying from Acacia and having to track down someone for help as well as an awkward checkout process, waiting in an office versus the nice little checkout they have at Bach's. Acacia does have nice plants but I prefer the service and atmosphere elsewhere. read more

I recently bought an ocotillo from Acacia Nursery. Pete, the manager, was extremely helpful. I told him I wanted the biggest one he had and he went out of his way to make sure I got it - a huge 12 foot plant at a very reasonable price. Two knowledgeable and friendly employees came out and planted the ocotillo at my home. I am very happy with it. read more

Acacia Nursery - 12 foot Ocotillo I purchased - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Marana, Arizona

Hired them directly to move my 10 foot saguaro to our new residence. Had to take my back wall down for them to bring it in. They still had to get it over a 2 foot barrier that took an extra person and a few extra hours to get it done. These guy are rock stars that went beyond the call of duty to get it done. They also were subcontracted by another landscaper to install plants and design the layout. Back yard looks amazing Doug and his staff provided a professional job. I will recommend them in a heartbeat! Thank you Doug and his rock star crew read more

We decided to transform our back yard planting area with all desert plants. After researching cactus nurseries in the Tucson area, and after a personal recommendation, we went to Acacia Nursery. They have hundreds of any type of cactus, succulents and desert plants, and a golf cart to use to drive the property to see more. Doug, the owner, greeted us, listened to what we were looking for, showed us around, giving suggestions and information about different varieties. We bought 20 plants, 5 boulders and "dirt". Kevin and his 2 guys arrived exactly as scheduled, and were so very conscious of protecting the putting green and stuccoed wall that they would need to push wheel barrows across. They were also polite and listened as I explained my "vision" for the area. They created a berm, placed boulders to look like they'd been there a long time, and planted the assorted plants just where I wanted. We could not be more pleased. But the final thing that gives them a 5 star rating is that one arm of a Mexican Fencepost ended up falling over the next morning. We called, and Doug said come on out and find a replacement. He even pointed out a beautiful specimen and agreed to have it delivered and replace it for the broken plant. No questions - just appropriate response. It's worth the drive - look for their sign on the north side of Tangerine, just West of the Vehicle Storage on south side. read more

Not sure what's going on with problems indicated in the other reviews but I have bought 4 trees from this place about a year and a half ago. One lemon and three mesquite. All those trees are thriving. Admittedly a couple of those mesquites appeared a little beat up when I bought them but they're fine now. I was helped by a kind lady in those transactions and the delivery guy was friendly. The place has a wide selection of cacti and trees. It was a cool place to visit in my humble opinion. read more

Had them out to plant something in my yard after a tree was removed. I went there and picked out a suggested bush that's no fuss. They were very knowledgeable, affordable and friendly. I won't go anywhere else now. Thank you! read more

excellent and informative staff. a good selection of trees and cacti. read more

Great selection, best I've found in Tucson. Prices were very reasonable for bare root cacti. We bought a Tompson Yucca which I couldn't find any where else at a reasonable price, a gold barrel and an agave. All were relatively easy to plant ourselves. read more

Acacia is a wonderful nursery and the plant quality is superior compared other places I have been. The most impressive part was the staff. I have never been there and was asked several times if I needed help. They are all extremely knowledgable! It's not just a job to them, they are well trained in gardening and will help you with what will work and what won't in the climate. You will not get that knowledge just anywhere. They always have what I am looking for. This place is fantastic! I know nothing about plants and they walked me through BEST customer experience I have had in a long time! read more

My husband went to Acacia Nursery this morning to pick up some landscaping rocks for our yard after we heard they have new owners. He reported back that the husband and wife owners were extremely helpful and their plant stock looked much healthier than the last time we were there. Give it another chance if you have not been there in a while. We live close so it is quite convenient. Prices were reasonable too. read more

We have bought several plants since moving to this area 2 years ago. The plant selection is terrific, and not only is the manager extremely knowledegable about desert plants but the support staff is also. This past February we purchased a peach tree which, after 2 months in the ground, failed to leaf out. In essence, we bought a peach "stick". I contacted the owner in late April about the problem tree, and she showed up at our home that afternoon to look into the problem. She said the nursery would replace the "stick" with another peach tree already leafed out and her staff would replant the tree. While in our back yard, she looked over our other trees and plants and made recommendations for 2 citrus trees whose leaves had begun to turn yellow. I purchased the iron food which she recommended, and already the trees look better. Customer Service seems to be at the foundation of this company. I highly recommend using this nursery for desert plants! Hugh G. read more

We are so pleased to find that this long-time Marana nursery is under new ownership. We went here to purchase an ocotillo for our front yard. We needed a big one. Not only did we find the perfect size and shape, the owner of the nursery, Doug, personally helped us pick it out and GUARANTEED it! Their prices are very reasonable....much better than in town. They delivered and planted the ocotillo exactly when they said they would. I highly recommend this company. read more

So pleased with all of our interactions with the team at Acacia Nursery. Great advice with low pressure. Very happy with our purchase and confident that they will be our go-to place for desert plants and trees. read more

Note to all potential customers: As of just a few months ago, this business had somewhere between a 1 and 2 star rating. The owner of this business has since contacted those that reviewed his nursery and has asked them to remove their negative reviews, not because they are not true, but because he blames all bad past performance on the part of an employee, who he claims he fired (note: their problems are most systemic than one employee, as I had problems with everyone I dealt with). I know this because he contacted me through yelp messages and asked me to remove my review. When I refused, he played the pity card, saying my review would hurt his wife and kids' livelihood; he talked about how he's disabled, how all his business' problems were the fault of one employee, etc. When I told him that I would not remove my review because my experience with his company was so bad, he proceeded to respond and accuse me of being an angry and unhappy person and that he'd "pray for me". You'll also notice a spate of 5 star reviews that have popped up just recently. Most of these reviews are from people with only 1 or two total reviews on yelp. These are obviously fabricated reviews. Based on my interactions with the owner, I highly suspect that he's either creating these reviews himself under pseudonyms or is asking friends and family to provide 5 star reviews. You'll note that some of the reviews are from people out of state, so they're obviously fake. This is a really shameful business that will sink to any level to try to scam a dollar out of the new unsuspecting customer. Avoid this place at all costs!!!! read more

Wow, this place is awesome. They have a new manager that is fantastic. Quality exceptional and prices very reasonable. Very knowledgable and helpful staff too! read more

When I entered the Nursery everything was great. The owner was extremely nice and very knowledgable. At first I didn't know if the cactuses would bloom or what but he explained everything we wanted to know and more.All the plants are very unique and have wonderful prices. Best of all the Customer Service was outstanding !I truly recommend the Acacia Nursery! read more

I recently purchased an Ash tree from Acacia and my experience was outstanding. I unknowingly stopped by at a time when the nursery was closed but the gate was open. I was warmly greeted and received excellent service. I was shown various trees that would be appropriate and given good advice when I asked questions. I purchased a tree and was told it could be delivered and planted that week. I was contacted by Dana from Majestic Gardens and he brought the tree, removed my dead tree and did an excellent job of planting the new one. I was very pleased and will certainly return for future purchases. read more

Acacia Nursery was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had found them thru Google close to our home. The owner was very nice and super knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and helped us find exactly what we were looking for at an excellent price. We ended up purchasing a large standard orange tree and a grapefruit tree which we're so excited to put in our backyard. We are planning to go back very soon for our next purchase! read more

went to Acacia for an orange tree. Tim the owner was very helpful in not only picking one out but also giving helpful instructions on planting it. in addition he also gave ideas on how to make our existing trees more healthy. read more

My wife and I stopped by Acacia Nursery yesterday (Sat, 16 Apr) to look at some fruit trees and various cacti to plant in and around our house. This is a great nursery, lots of variety from flowers, cacti, trees, pottery etc. The owner met us out front and immediately provided us great help in answering a lot of questions we had about what we wanted to plant and how to do it w/out killing the plant life, like I recently did w/a mesquite. We appreciated the owner, Tim, and the time he spent w/us discussing how best to grow plant life in the Tucson desert. We ended up buying a Katy Apricot, a Melogold Grapefruit, and a Blood Orange Tree. We will definitely be visiting Acacia on a routine basis. Not only was the stock good and varied, but we found someone who's nice, helpful, and willing to spend time w/us explaining the "how-to's" for plant-life in the desert. read more

Acacia Nursery would be a good place for those needing compassionate, good and honest work to be done for their property. My story started a couple of months ago when I needed pricing on some privacy hedge plants. I knew I needed a lot of plants but I did not know the type or when they could or would be put in. Most places I contacted told me they would get prices after they talked to their distributor. I am still waiting for their call backs. Others gave me "crazy" pricing. Some were really pushy. Others never returned my initial call. The new owner of Acacia nursery actually called me back that evening of my initial call. He took the time to help make suggestions and give me reasonable pricing. The project took a couple of months to finally come together. Because of the nature of my project, the owner personally tended to the job to make sure it was done right. I am really happy with working with Acacia Nursery. Thank you for your job well done. read more
