Neighborhood Nursery provides Landscape and Design all across the United States, but specializes in low maintenance, low water use plantings in Southern California.

Morgan Ranch Project
Enjoy as the water from the top of the stream makes its way into the crystal clear pond. This is just one of the beautiful waterfalls we have built. We used natural stone, some over 6000 lbs apiece. The pond is 4 feet deep and you can see a dime on the bottom all year long. We build our own biological filters that prevent algae bloom.
The pond is built to deter herons and raccoons, but diving birds have been a problem. The homeowner effectively strung white cord across the pond so the birds do not attempt to catch the fish.
The pond is stocked with small koi and goldfish and is made of EPDM liner under the natural stone.

Cumberland Project
Watch the plants mature before your very eyes. Before and after pictures as well as pics of the plants months after installation. We supplied all the materials as well as the design and installation of this beautiful front yard. Colorful, but low water use plants, micro spray irrigation, MP Rotator lawn heads, everything that could be done to save water and have an incredibly low maintenance yard.

Note how we use ground covers extensively in the foreground with larger plants to the rear, giving visual depth to the yard.

We also supplied the materials and installed the lawn and low water use plantings. Low volume micro spray irrigation is used extensively.

We used vibrant colors against bright white walls. All of the plant materials are Mediterranean or desert climates.

Here is a slideshow of the front yard with drought tolerant plants.

Stoner Drive

This is a really fun project that started with modifying a common rear patio that was just a rectangle built against the back wall and removal of large tree stumps that were causing damage to the property. The patio was partitioned into three areas. BBQ outside the kitchen, dining area and fire pit seating area. The pondless waterfall is the focal point of this yard.

The front removed all lawn that was replaced with low maintenance shrubs and ground covers.

 Claudia Japanese Style Garden

Minimize lawn, less maintenance, tranquility- this is everything you notice when sitting in this rear yard.

Our client is an important part of keeping this garden neat. “Working in my garden gives me peace” is something he has told us many times.

Apperson Patio Cover

This may seem like a common patio cover, but it is so much more. The structure is built above the roof line to give airiness to the patio. An old deck and concrete walkway were removed and replaced with the Mexican saltillo pavers. It is now a very comfortable dining area and allows the family to enjoy the rear yard out of the hot sun.

Proper fruit tree selection can  provide backyard fruit growers with incredible tasting fruit.  With the proper care, your fruit trees will produce as well as those grown in professionally managed orchards. Our fruit tree species are continually being developed and improved over many years to offer both a quality appearance and delicious tasting fruits.

Our fruit trees produce fruit for cooking, baking, or just to enjoy fresh off of the tree. A large majority of people will attest to the superior taste of tree-ripened fruit than fruit purchased at a grocery store. By planting and growing one or more of your own fruit trees, you can experience the same.

As well as nutritious and delicious fruit, many of our trees provide some of the most spectacular springtime flowering exhibitions in the plant world. Flowering apple and cherry trees will provide visual enjoyment to be remembered for years.

See our extensive selection of fruit trees and feel free to contact us for any questions you may have.

What We Do

Neighborhood Nursery is a new business idea servicing everyone from the home gardener to the professional landscaper. We offer a full line of professional gardening supplies at exceptional prices. Neighborhood Nursery is a distributor of Plants, Pond Supplies, Irrigation Supplies, Outdoor Lighting Supplies and much more. Just about anything to care for and enjoy the outdoors.

It is important to understand that Neighborhood Nursery runs its internet operations independent of any retail store. With every order, we arrange a pick up time or we ship your items directly to you, eliminating the extra expense necessary to care of items in the retail nursery.

So how do we do offer such great pricing? By pulling plants from the growing yards and landscape material directly from the warehouse and putting them directly into your hands, we save the extra time and labor it takes to handle them in the retail yard.

Many people do not realize how much work it takes to operate a retail nursery. It is one of the highest overhead businesses you can imagine. The care of living plants is 7 days a week, requiring watering, feeding and moving the plants around. Plants can not sit on a shelf waiting to be purchased. They are living, breathing things that need care and attention, and these costs really add up.

While we are searching for our new location, Neighborhood Nursery is working with Present Perfect Nursery in Pasadena.

Note: If you have an order with Neighborhood Nursery and you see something additional in the retail store, nursery prices will be charged for the add on items.
