Five stars are simply not enough! After the incredible experience I had last year, there was never any question about where I would go when it was time to continue beautifying my landscaping. Returning as a repeat customer was an easy decision, and once again, Seth and the entire team exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived at the nursery, I was reminded why I came back. Their inventory is extensive, with an impressive selection of trees, shrubs, flowering plants and succulents, and unique specimen plants. Everything on the property looked pristine, robust, thriving, and exceptionally healthy. The nursery is well organized, thoughtfully curated, and spread across a massive area, making it easy to explore the incredible variety of plants available. Whether you are looking for something classic or something more exotic, they truly have it all. Seth is the reason this experience was so exceptional. He has an incredible artistic eye and an impeccable sense of landscape design. His vision is precise, meticulous and creative, allowing him to see how every tree, shrub and flower will compliment one another long before they are planted. He suggested vibrant, eye catching floral combinations that perfectly complemented my existing landscape while staying true to the vision I had for my yard. What I appreciated most was that Seth genuinely listened. He respected my budget, never tried to upsell me and instead helped me maximize every dollar by selecting plants that would provide beautiful color, texture and year round interest. His expertise, professionalism efficiency and attention to detail made the entire planning process enjoyable and stress free. Installation day was equally impressive. Seth arrived with Jason to carefully map out the placement of every tree, shrub, and plant before any digging began, ensuring the design was exactly right. Shortly afterward, Luis and his outstanding crew of three ( Ramiro, Antonio, and Ondair) arrived ready to work despite the brutal summer heat. Their work ethic was remarkable. They were punctual, skilled, professional, efficient and incredibly respectful of my property. Every member of the crew worked with precision and care, paying close attention to every detail throughout the installation. They treated my home as if it were their own, worked seamlessly together, and left everything neat and immaculate when the job was complete. What really stood out was how personable everyone was. From beginning to end, the entire team was friendly, courteous and genuinely committed to making sure I was completely happy with the finished result. It is rare to find a business where every single employee shares the same pride in their work and dedication to outstanding customer service. The transformation is absolutely stunning. What was once an ordinary backyard has become a vibrant, beautiful outdoor space that I cannot wait to enjoy for years to come. I have already received compliments from neighbors from last years install and I couldn't be happier with todays final results. My sincere thanks to Seth, Jason, Luis. Ramiro, Antonio and Ondair for your exceptional work, professionalism, and dedication. Your talent, hard work and attention to detail truly show in very aspect of this project. If you are looking for a nursery with an extraordinary selection of healthy, high quality plants and landscaping team that combines artistry, expertise, integrity ad outstanding customer service, look no further. This is the kind of business that earns lifelong customers, and they have certainly earned mine!!!! read more

For anyone considering Moon Valley for your backyard landscaping project, you can feel 100% confident in the quality and service provided by Moon Valley and the team. My wife and I did a major overall of our yard and scrapped the entire thing to start over with a new pool, hardscape, and landscaping. Moon helped us plan and coordinate all planting to create a truly private and serene backyard. We choose oversized hedges and olive trees to give our yard a beautiful walled garden / french villa feel and offer tons of privacy. The installation was not easy, and the Moon team did a fantastic job constantly checking in to ensure that our every goal and placement was met with our planting. Danny, our PM and lead installer, was one of the best trades we have had the pleasure of working with. He was professional, kind, always happy, smiling while breaking his back, and constantly being a "YES" man. Whatever we wanted, he said that he would make it happen. If we ran into an issue, he would say no worries, here is how we will handle this... and he would knock it out. I can't rave enough about the experience we have had with Moon, and I am confident in saying that no other nursery would have been able to deliver on our project as they did with their incredible install team. We have dozens of very tall hedges and 5 Olive trees weighing 2000+ pounds. Danny and his team of installers are machines and hand-installed all of these in very tight sections of the yard. The install crew worked full hours (that rarely happens these days) and cleaned our job site each evening (spotless, including hosing down the driveway and street where there was dirt.) Impeccable work and pride in the delivery of a premier service to clients. Shout out to Kraig Jacobsen as well for helping us with all the plant selection and staging of our project. You guys killed it, and we are beyond happy with the final product!!! Go with Moon Valley. You will be truly satisfied. - La Costa / N. County Homeowners read more

I just wanted to share the great service that I received from the folks at Moon Valley Nursery in Carmel Valley. Upon my first arrival, I was intercepted on my way to the office by a friendly service staff named Daniel, who asked me a few questions. After finding out that I was looking for a shade tree, I was suddenly being driven around the expansive grounds, to look at various sizes of the two trees I had researched, in addition to a recommendation by Daniel. After taking some notes, I assured him that I would be back, after discussing the plans with my wife and making a final decision on tree size and type. I consulted with Daniel a couple times in the following weeks, and requested pictures of an African Fern Pine as that became my tree of choice, which he sent me. The trip back to the Nursery to make the purchase, was quick and efficient- I knew the type of tree I wanted, I just needed to settle on size and price. We settled on a 48 Spec, and I thought the price was fair, considering that planting was included. Within two weeks, the tree was delivered and planted. The planting crew were professional and courteous, and even cut and capped a sprinkler line that happened to be right where I wanted the tree, allowing us to maintain our desired planting spot and worry about rerouting the sprinkler line in the future. Chad M. was also very professional and responsive, in coordinating the actual work of planting, and calling Dig-Alert to prevent conflicts with underground utilities. Thank you, Moon Valley, on a job well done; will definitely be recommending you to family and friends! read more

We just visited Moon Valley Nursery and had an amazing experience. Right when we pulled up, Ken walked up and introduced himself. We only had a certain amount of time, so it was just perfect that he was there, and ready to help us. We explained to him that we were looking for some plants for the front of our house and we showed him some pictures of the empty area. He asked us if we had a certain budget, and if there are any plants we had in mind. We told him we liked blue agave, and he took us to where those plants were. We walked around and discussed an idea of alternating the agave with another plant to add some contrast and not have the cost too high. He showed us various options, he carried the blue agave to different styled plants to see which ones would look good next to the agave plant. He was SO accommodating!!! We finally figured it all out, bought 7 plants (doing 4 agave and 3 of the other in between). Our front area is going to look amazing and we are so excited. Ken was personable, knowledgeable, creative, and genuine. We are for sure going to come back for another part of our project, and have Ken help us. We are also going to recommend Ken to our friends who are re-landscaping their yard too. What a great experience!!! read more

Adam truly went above and beyond in helping us select the perfect olive tree for our home. From the moment we arrived, he greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, even going so far as to pick us up in his Utility vehicle to ensure our comfort. His knowledge of the nursery's offerings was impressive, and he took the time to introduce us to various plants and trees, guiding us through the selection process with patience and expertise. Once we chose our olive tree, Adam's attention to detail truly shone. Not only did he carefully trim the branches to perfection, but he also provided us with clear instructions on how to care for our new addition. His friendly demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to Adam's expertise and personalized service, our olive tree looks absolutely stunning in our home. If you're in need of plants or greenery for your home, Adam is the person to call. His dedication to his customers and passion for his work ensure that you'll receive nothing but the best care and guidance. We couldn't be happier with our white glove customer experience, and we'll definitely be returning to Adam for all of our future gardening needs. read more

My experience with Moon Valley Nursery was extremely disappointing, primarily because of their refund process. I placed an order for trees in May 2026, clearly explaining my intended planting location and purpose. However, after further research, I canceled the order out of concern that the plants they recommended were not suitable for my needs. Moon Valley Nursery agreed to refund my payment, but the process was handled with frustrating delays and poor communication. I had to follow up multiple times, and each time I was told the manager would call me--yet I never received a single callback. Even after reaching out to their corporate headquarters, the local manager still never contacted me. After three weeks of repeated follow-ups, my refund had still not been processed. This level of disregard for customers is beyond pathetic. While the sales process was straightforward, the post-cancellation refund experience was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I strongly advise other customers to be cautious about paying upfront, independently verify the suitability of any plants, and insist on written refund commitments before proceeding. read more

I need to follow up on my previous bad review!!!!!!! I have completely changed my view about Moon Nursery and apologize to them for leaving a poor review before reaching out to them to address our concerns. They responded immediately to my complaint and I had a fantastic experience with Moon Nursery, and I highly recommend them for all your palm care needs. Seth and Christian were exceptional in addressing our palm issues. They were professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in their approach. Not only did they provide expert advice on the care and maintenance of our existing palms, but they also replaced the ones that had unfortunately died, ensuring our garden continues to thrive. Their dedication to ensuring our future success with our palms was evident, and their commitment to quality service is truly commendable. Today our new palms arrived, and they were planted expertly by a very professional crew. If you're looking for reliable and skilled professionals for your nursery needs, Moon Nursery is the way to go! Old fashioned customer service is so appreciated! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Kayla from Moon Valley Nurseries in San Diego, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Kayla was an exceptional listener who thoroughly reviewed our initial concepts and intentions. She was instrumental in supplementing our ideas with her extensive plant knowledge, suggesting additional creative options without ever making us feel pressured. Throughout the design and planting phases, Kayla was hands-on, ensuring that each plant was positioned perfectly to match our vision. Her expertise in landscape design and deep understanding of plant varieties were evident, making what works best seem effortless. Kayla approached our project more like a partner than a salesperson, providing a range of options and prices that made us feel comfortable and empowered. Her dedication and professionalism reflected wonderfully on Moon Valley, and we felt we were in excellent hands from start to finish. Thanks to Kayla, our outdoor space has been transformed beautifully! read more

Fantastic place, and honestly the beat customer service I've had in years. I called Moon Valley Nursery in Carmel Valley and a friendly and knowledgeable young woman named Kayla answered my questions. I asked her if she would be there later in the day and she said she would. As soon as I arrived she showed me where to park and picked me up in a golf cart type thing and drove me straight to the area of the nursery with the trees I was looking for. she helped me choose nice specimens of each type and answered all the questions I had. Then we drove to another section to find the other types of trees and when they weren't in stock she called Geronimo who manages the regional Moon Valley nurseries and they arranged to have the trees I wanted delivered to the site. Afterwards I paid for the trees and scheduled delivery and voila, I was in and out in about an hour. Kayla even threw in a bottle of Moon Juice for the replanting of the trees to my yard. I highly recommend this business. read more

Moon Valley Nursery in Carmel Valley is the best! We wanted a lemon tree and they had a huge selection of sizes and varieties. Sebastian took us all around the property, showed us so many trees and told us all about the differences. We took our time to select the best tree for us, never felt rushed or pressured. We also selected the perfect vining plants for our front planters and entryway. I am definitely going back the next time I want to plants because everything there looked so healthy. George and the crew who delivered and planted our lemon tree and two large star jasmines were wonderful-- Professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They did a great job with the planting, and George fully explained the care instructions and answered all my questions. The whole experience was a joy and I look forward to working with Sebastian, George, Max and all the Moon Valley folks at the Carmel Valley location again soon. read more

When my wife and I moved into our new home, our backyard was a blank slate--just a dirt lot with potential. We started researching local nurseries to help bring our vision to life and ultimately chose Moon Valley in Carmel Valley. We're so glad we did!

As the general manager, Seth took the time to walk our space with us, listened closely to what we were hoping to create, and offered thoughtful, expert recommendations. The entire process--from plant selection to installation--was seamless, professional, and handled with incredible attention to detail.
