Had a very good experience with Moon Valley. Cameron was the sales associate an expert who helped us and is very knowledgeable on tree selection. Spent a lot of time with us to find the perfect tree. Then with install, Adam and his crew were excellent! Helped us through the positioning and he and his team worked very hard to get it absolutely perfect. I also had shopped around and visited several nurseries and priced compared trees with hiring separate for install, but I always come back to Moon Valley as there is not quite any other place like them including their guarantee which is a nice safety. Also, they do have trees at different price points even ones that are on sale and clearance if you're looking for a little bit of a deal which is a nice option. read more

We recently purchased 10 large privets for over $10,000. Four of the trees failed. 2 trees have died after the warranty period. Unfortunately, MV did not provide any assistance with replacing them. It has been a very disappointing experience and extremely costly. One would expect a tree to last at least one year. MV is focused on selling over-priced products. Run away! read more

We lost very tall trees that were protecting our view of the ocean and reached out to Moon Valley Nurseries. Andrew came out the next day and accessed our needs. He sent many pictures of their trees. We then met him at the nursery in Escondido and selected five mature ficus trees. Installation was managed by Adam who called to discuss our requirements. Everything went quickly and smoothly. We could not be happier with the trees and the service we received! read more

I went on their website to order iceplant. Very strange website as it appears you cannot shop and order. So I called them (Saturday late afternoon). I spoke with a man that stated that it is best to come in and pick the iceplant up in person. If I come in by tomorrow before 5pm, I could buy them (at the Escondido location) with 60% off. He made a point of telling me not to miss the great discount! So, I drove out their first thing Sunday am (30 minutes) only to find out there were zero iceplants in stock and had to order at the desk. I was told there would be no 60% discount since I had to order with them at the store. Such BS! Nor even an apology for the misinformation and my waste of time driving there, etc. So, most likely NOT going to buy from them again. read more

Nathan was great, spent a lot of time helping us pick out our fruit trees. Everyone here was really friendly and helpfull.

Is there such a thing as a concierge nursery? That's how I would describe this place. I contacted this nursery over the phone because we wanted to add another jacaranda tree to the yard and were looking for a nursery with them in stock. It's not high season at other nurseries in terms of inventory, and this place definitely has more in stock year round. After we arrived, we found Andrew and we were given a ride over to the section of the nursery. No dragging trees in wagons. It was loaded into the gator and then into our truck for us. They gave us some potting soil, mulch and moon juice. I'm not sure if this is typical or part of the sale but that was incredibly awesome as that was everything we needed to complete the planting. You can have them plant for you but seeing that I didn't have an exact spot marked, I opted to do my own planting. Overall the experience was extremely high end with great customer service. I've never been to a nursery like this before. With that said, I think that their price reflects this. Did we get a high quality plant for the money? Yes. After planting, the tree shot up new growth and is extremely happy. Thanks Moon Valley!! read more

My husband Rudy and I were at Moon Valley Escondido 10.14.25 to purchase citrus trees for our yard. Maggie was so helpful. From helping us pick our 4 citrus trees to getting everything loaded in our truck. A young man also helped get our truck loaded in the rain. Thank you read more

Poor customer service, the business just wants to keep selling you things not help You maintain your purchase unless you buy more from them. They were extremely difficult to get ahold of once we made a large purchase. Half the plants died and they would not address it. It was extremely disappointing and we will not be purchasing from this business again. read more

Don't waste your money buying from Moon Valley Nurseries. The inflate their prices then offer a 50% discount as if you're getting a deal. Shop around with some smaller nurseries and you'll see how they compare. Also, they sold us a grafted Palo Verde that shot up--on the grafted side--and ended up growing all bushy. Looks horrible now seven years later. And, on another tree (Tipu) their team didn't dig the hole wide enough which ended up causing the tree to take years longer to establish. Learned from that lesson, won't ever shop here again. Profit over product. read more

Cameron at the Escondido store was extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He provided great advice regarding tree options suitable for our location and soil conditions.

Absolutely the dream team! After a neighboring ADU project loomed over our backyard and completely changed the landscape of our home, we were devastated. We lost privacy, the vibe of our yard felt different, and we weren't sure how to fix it. That's when we found Moon Valley, and I can say without a doubt -- this crew saved our backyard. From the very start, Andre kicked off the project with creative direction, a sharp design eye, and an understanding of the complexity of our space. He was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly responsive. We knew right away we were in good hands. He was always there to be consultative. Incredibly responsive and guided the project. Adam's planting team absolutely crushed it. We had a tricky elevation situation with retaining walls, uneven slopes, and limited planting space -- and they handled it with precision and care. It's not easy to work with mature ficus, especially on this kind of terrain, but they executed it flawlessly and were communicative every step of the way. Mike Murphy & Marquez were also instrumental with making things happen behind the scenes and I'm incredibly grateful for them. The result? Our backyard went from feeling exposed and overwhelmed to beautiful, lush, and completely private again. The hedges blended perfectly, and the whole area now looks even better than it did before the ADU was built. We truly feel like we've reclaimed our space -- and our peace of mind. If you're facing a similar situation -- or just want to transform your yard the right way -- Moon Valley is the team to trust. read more

I went to the Moon Valley Nursery with my parents to see what fruit trees they had available during their large sale. They had waters, soda, and snacks at the entrance. We walked around a little bit before meeting Maggie. Maggie was super helpful and gave us her phone number as we walked the property looking for trees. She said to call her if we have any questions. We called asking where the smaller fruit trees were and she directed us to where they are. As we walked closer to the fruit trees, Maggie joined us and explained the variety of trees and how the sale works. Everything was 50% off! We decided on buying a persimmon tree and a blueberry bush with delivery. We also added the Moon Juice, Mulch, Soil Conditioner, and Moon Dust. This came out to $1,113. In the future I would just bring a bigger car or truck to take the trees home the day of. Delivery was about $250. Maggie was extremely knowledgeable about all the plants and trees at the Nursery. She was attentive and super nice. She is a great salesperson and we would definitely recommend her if you need help! read more

Stopped at Moon Valley a couple months ago to discuss ways to add more tall greenery to our backyard to hide the unsightly fence. They were very attentive and knowledgeable and we walked out having bought lots of new trees and set a planting date. Alas, although we sent the measurements of our planter boxes that same afternoon, a couple weeks later we got a call that there was concern the trees we were recommended wouldn't fit. But they wanted to drive out to our house to double check - which I appreciated. The bad news: no those trees wouldn't work The good news: they had other options that would still be nice. It's been a week since that visit and we just got our new trees planted this morning. Antonio Martinez and his crew were really nice and helpful and thorough getting them in this morning. Antonio talked me through spacing and offered to take the spare top soil to different places in my yard so it wouldn't go to waste. He also gave me clear instructions on how to care for them for the first 6 months to get them really established and get them to grow the way we want. Overall, good experience and I'm looking forward to our trees getting thicker and improving the overall ambience of our yard. read more

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

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

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.

What a wonderful experience is waiting for you at Moon Valley Nursery! My wife and I were in search of just the right tree.

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

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

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

Brandon gives great professional service at the nursery with plant selection, container selection and coordination of delivery. The plant selection options are amazing. Jose and his crew did A+ job on the planting and clean up. I highly recommend Moon Valley Nursery! 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

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
