Update. I came back to purchase roses. Within minutes of arriving an employee asked if I needed help. I described to him the color of rose I wanted. He was quickly able to locate one and told me all the roses are $32.99! Check out is in the green building through the yellow door. There are more plants in there too! I think they're tropical or houseplants. Super helpful employees. They even tied a garbage bag around my rose so it wouldn't make a mess in my car. I asked about trees with purple flowers and they were also quite helpful suggesting what I could be thinking of and told me if I get the name they can tell me if they have it in stock. I'm very pleased with my experience and will be back soon to add more to my garden. read more

#FIRSTTIMEGARDNER We stopped by on a Saturday to look for herbs and veggies for our garden. Needless to say there was some of everything and I was overwhelmed with options. We ran into Lisa, lovely lady and extremely knowledgeable. I showed her the raised beds we purchased and she showed us a multitude of options that would fit our raised beds. She even went so far as to show us where each option should go. Nowwwww if I got it all the way right when planting is another thing lol. Most of the herbs were $5.50. Really reasonable and with the military discount made it even more value to us. Yeah shopping at the big box stores is great but nothing like that one on one treatment from a small-ish business. Ish because nothing was small about the plants. I'll be back to show her what we did and to fill in some spots. :) read more

I wish I could give more than five stars! this place is a dream. I'm not so great with plants but I know a few I can keep alive. After successfully keeping a friends African Lilly alive for over a year I went to get one of my own when she moved and took it back. They didnt have any, BUT I told the incredibly kind gentleman there what I was capable of (not much) and he said a philodendron selloum would be perfect. He pointed out this HUGE PLANT to me and I was terrified of the cost. ONLY $35!!!!! Mind you this is a beautiful plant and exactly what I needed for my shady patio. Anyway here I am about a week after and just re-potted him. (His name is now Phil) and he's thriving. An absolute beast! I also got a gorgeous little cactus . Anyway, COME HERE!!!!! So kind, so helpful and gosh darn the best pricing. read more

I love El Rancho Nursery! Their large lot holds a fantastic variety of flowers, trees, bushes and shrubs. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable! If you are looking to do an update on your landscaping, check out this company. Thank you Lisa, for your excellent customer service. read more

We went for the first time today. We were greeted right away and the gentleman was very knowledgeable. He took time to answer all of my questions and show me around. The staff is very knowledgeable! They have an excellent selection of plants and trees to choose from. I really liked the special touches- offering our daughter a free plant, helping her bag lemons they offered to her and I was extremely impressed they had and offered plastic covers for our vehicle (it's the small things that mean a lot) I would give this nursery a 12 out of 10!!! read more

This is a family owned business, so it's always good to see familiar faces that are vested in providing good service. I was looking for a particular California native and the lady that helped me located in where it was staged and not put out yet. A very nice layout, good location, and good selection of anything you want to look for. read more

The owner, Lisa, goes above and beyond in her customer service. Her knowledge of plants is phenomenal. She is always happy to share and she makes you feel like family. The value far outweighs the cost. I am happy to keep going back and so is my family. read more

This was the only nursery where I found my plants. Great selection! Nice staff too!

Such a beautiful space with lots to see and lots to choose from. About 2 acres! My mom and I met Angelina and one of the owners, Alex. Great people. They helped us find a Crepe Myrtle tree which we couldnt find in our local Lowes or Home Depot. (Fairfield) They deliver ($45) and will install ($75) which I feel is a reasonable fee. 10/10 for service and selection! Updated review 4/3/24 I called El Rancho today to ask about any warranty available. One thing that wasn't mentioned before we left, the day of purchase, is that there's a 60 day warranty on the tree, BUT, only if El Rancho installs it. I'll just say, It would've been very nice to know that beforehand, just for future reference. read more

Hands down, the best nursery in Solano. We had such a great experience here today. Alex is extremely knowledge and passionate about this place. I was happy with the HUGE selection they have.

After visiting different nurseries around the area, me and my Wife stopped at El Rancho Nursery and were greeted by Gabriel who helped us find exactly what we were looking for. They had a lot of selection to chose from. They were very knowledgeable and took the time to listen and explain our different options. We highly recommend this Nursery and will be going back. read more

Ray has been in business back when I was doing Grad Nite at Vaca High in 2005. He always donated plants for our event. Who does that? I treated myself to Dwarf white nectarine and dwarf Sumatra Mandarin trees. I paid for the service to plant. Antonio arrived and was professional. Planted my trees and I am happy. I have a lemon and yellow nectarine tree already in my backyard. Ray mentioned I may have fruit this season. Support small business when you can read more

Family run business with good quality and service. We try to go to them first before going to the bigger companies.

Very helpful but the plants we were interested in were all very dry. Hopefully they will take hold

Came here for the first time to purchase some indoor plants and pots, and the owner, Lisa, personally potted the plants for me and made them look so beautiful! Huge selection of plants and reasonably priced. Definitely my new go to for all my plant needs read more

I just found my new nursery spot! I didn't get to explore the whole lot but I can attest to the EXCELLENT customer service--warm and friendly (it was even close to closing time). Today I picked up some gorgeous dahlias and daisies. I spied some succulents as I was checking out so I'll definitely be returning to see what I might need. read more

Owner and staff were very friendly, and put a lot of effort into helping us. I brought in some leaves from trees that I wanted to identify. They went above and beyond in helping to successfully identify them. Huge selection. Healthy plants. So nice to do business with good, industrious, friendly people. read more

Do not trust these people! Worst customer service experience ever. I bought over $200 in plants and they were infested with termites. I called to request a refund or at least credit (anything please) and the owner said sales are final and that I should just throw it away. I explained how the termites that dropped from the plant near my house could cause an expensive termite problem at my home but he didn't care. Their negligence could cause termite infestations-- potential lawsuit. Here is a pic of one of the plants I tossed in the trash. read more

I was looking for lemon trees and called to make sure they had it before I went. A gentleman answered the phone and confirmed they did so I went over to check the nursery out. The moment I showed up there was a friendly gentleman named Ray who greeted me, he asked me if I needed help and showed me where I could find my Meyer lemon tree. I was planning on 2 trees but he told me that a single tree alone would yield a lot of lemons, maybe mix it up with a mandarin orange tree. I took his advice and had a few more visits where his family and other employees I've encountered were really friendly and helpful with recommendations. Now I've ended up buying a bunch of sage bushes to plant out front, a couple of kumquat trees and next May I plan to get a calamansi tree. And there's something magical about coming here. I like exploring the variety of fruit trees, cypress trees, succulents, bushes...the plants seem really happy here. Asides from me, there seems to be a lot of repeat customers. Had I known this business existed I would have bought my cypress trees here. read more

Under NEW Management! Tony the owner was very polite and nice. Alex filled us in on great knowledge of tree's we were looking for! But Angelina (which I hope I got her name correct) was a major help and found us some black bamboo tree's that were perfect for our backyard! So perfect we came back and bought 2 more for a total of 4! Great pricing!Everyone here was very polite and easy speaking! Will come again for sure! read more

This Nursery is the best in town and should be on everyone's list to visit! The new ownership really is making this nursery gardens of heaven. They have everything from exotic to common plants and trees. Also, if you have a special request, rest assure they will put in the effort to get what you ask for. My fiancé and I shop here all the time (have acre to fill), so far we have bought big trees and small trees and since we love all kind of plants they also have indoor selection to choose from. Go see Lisa and Alex they really back up their word. A good perk they offer is that they deliver and install for a reasonable charge ( mind blowing service). There isn't enough stars to give but they get my 5 stars easy! read more

Wow, what a Great Place to purchase plants. I haven't been here for about 30 years. But Ray was Fantastic! I was looking for a Gardenia tree. An Ray & Ashley were great. So if you are in the need of any Garden plants. This is the place to come. Jeff Hom read more

Last Fall, bought a large Japanese Emperor Maple to go in our front yard on recommendation from staff, after looking at pictures of sunlight exposure and placement. Paid extra to have it planted with a guarantee to fix it if it didn't thrive. It immediately started dying. We called to have them come out and take a look per the guarantee. They did and changed nothing. Tree now dead, "guarantee" expired. Nothing to be done about what was ultimately a $600 waste. read more

Alex was so helpful right when we got to the nursery. We came knowing nothing about fruit trees and plants and considered getting one tree before we went there. We left purchasing 4 fruit trees (which also are mixed fruit on one tree!) and a large tree for the front yard with some small fruit and veggie plants as well. I'm so glad we didn't have to go to multiple places, they have such a great variety. We didn't buy more than one because he pressured us-not at all. He simply showed us different options that we decided we couldn't decide on just one! I love that it's family owned, no pressure to buy and I really enjoyed walking around and looking at all the options. We are gonna go back for sure because we didn't even have enough time to see everything. What a Gem full of Gods creations! read more

Actually, I loved Alex and others who have helped me and I want them to be successful, so, because I am a pretty attentive gardener, I have a comment for the owner who seems to have no flexibility. A the time my newly purchased vine was in a wonderful location and had all its needs met but did not ever thrive and then died so I considered the plant defective. I was willing to make another purchase and would have valued any discount of goodwill and she denied it. I do not appreciate a business owner who does not appreciate a good customer. I hope she will consider this when dealing with the public. read more

3Cs: Customer Service, Cost & Countless Plant Varieties I live in woodland but visited all our nurseries to include Davis and Dixon. El Rancho nursery is by far the #1 nursery in Yolo and Solano county as far as cost, customer service and plant selections. Customer Service: I was greeted with a beautiful smile and asking if I need help by this young lady. Then I saw Maria and asked her for succulents. She showed me all the different kinds they had. I told her I was making a wreath and she gave me a huge big rosette cutting. A+++ Cost: Cheapest by far compared to home depot, Ace and local nurseries such as Lemuria, Redwood, Amazon, Etsy etc... I could have saved so much money if I just started my shopping here. Countless Plant Varieties: They have so many succulents (bigger, more mature), roses, trees, flowers...you name it. I highly recommend this place. read more

Since I prefer to support local family owned businesses I was told to come check out this place. I do not have a green thumb so I needed something's that could survive me. Thank goodness the employees knew what to do with a customer like me. . The employee made great suggestions and everything I purchased is doing great at my home! read more

Oh my goodness! We shall never buy plants/bushes anywhere else! This place is WONDERFUL! The size of the property and variety of flowers, plants, bushes, trees is AMAZING! Not only can you get just about anything but you can guarantee the people who run this place know their stuff! They helped us pick out exactly what we were looking to accomplish and the health of their stuff is so good, they really take care of everything they sell. Do yourself a favor and go visit this nursery! I'm not a super green thumb gal at all and they don't make you feel odd for all the questions, I can't stress enough on how sweet they are. I plan to go back soon for additional items for my backyard. But first I need to keep what we bought alive first :) read more

I have had the displeasure of waiting for service for over 2 months. I was scheduled for service the last week of June this year. As of 7/05/24 I am still waiting. I have had zero calls and I have been home every day waiting. No service. The owner said she going to take on this project and put it on the schedule. Maybe someone will call me and let me know what is happening. I just want the project finished. There is so much more to this project. read more

A lot of choices! A green thumb's Disneyland. I could spend a whole day just looking at the various plants/trees.

It's clear that the nursery takes great pride in customer service and nurturing their plants. We live about an hour away, and we make the drive because it's quality and so much more affordable than the nurseries closer to the bay area. Family-owned and operated...it's just a vibe! We bought a lemon tree that is so fruitful, a cool apple tree that has six different kinds of apples (yes six!) on one tree, small flowers, herbs, and a few veggies. We're eating delicious tomatoes, squeezing fresh lemonade...and I can't wait to harvest our apples. We'll be back to El Rancho Nursery. Worth the trip! read more

Large selection of plants and trees. Employees were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Great customer service!

This place is fantastic. Family owed and operated. Friendly and knowledgeable people that will take the time to explain everything needed. I highly recommend this place. read more

Bought a persimmon tree. Was told by owner if they planted it and it died they would replace. Paid the extra fee for planting. His guy showed up took out existing tree which was growing. He planted the persimmon tree and cut my water line off without my permission. I was lucky to have saw him do this but said they know best and thought of their guarantee. When I questioned him about it he said the tree didn't need that much water and left. 9 months later tree is dead no new growth at all. Called owner he said would replace but did not have any in stock call back in couple of months. Well I called back 3 times and said never had any in stock. So the last time I called left message never called back. I just want the same tree or different fruit tree or a refund. Will not return calls. Guess if you can ignore long enough then people might just go away. Would not recommend his services. Poor quality tree and service Ken B read more

Woman went took time to check, gave pricing and answered all my questions. Service there. The trees were in back of lot got cart and brought 4 up for us to look at. Finally they delivered and planted the tree for us. We did pay fee to have planted but very reasonable. I give them five stars! read more

We get a lot of fruit trees that we currently enjoy fruit from. The people are very knowledgeable and nice.

We purchased a dwarf lemon tree a year ago and then went back and purchased a cape honey bush. I can't say enough about the customer service you get here. Super helpful and knowledgeable. They leave you alone but also help you if needed. This place is a gem and I'm always coming here for plants. read more

Great first experience! Patty (the owner's daughter) was really friendly and helped us find our hummingbird friendly plants! The nursery is very large and we only checked out a small part. Patty also does landscaping as well. We look forward to returning again for more flower needs. It's also nice that it's a local family run business! read more
