Specialties:
Delivery Only Wholesale Nursery
Pac West Wholesale is one of the more unique wholesale plant partners that we have because they are a delivery only company. What is special about their operations is that they drive down to Oregon to gain access to 100s of growers in the region. They are a very lean operation so we love to use them for our large installations because they have access to a vast array of inventory without the overhead of a more traditional nursery. Some are concerned about not being able to physically see or touch the material before making an order, but we’ve been consistently impressed by the quality and service.
Country Green Farms
Location:
Olympia
Specialties:
Sod Grower
Country Green Farms is the premiere grass and sod grower in the greater Seattle Area. The quality is second to none and there are other providers with quite poor quality. While we do not install much sod, when we do it is Country Green Farms exclusively. They provide quality delivery services as well.
