Landscape and exterior suppliers include tree nurseries, nursery and garden suppliers, sod delivery services, paver yards, artificial and synthetic grass suppliers, and vinyl fence suppliers. They supply the last major material packages on most residential and light commercial projects, and the perishable nature of some of them changes how procurement works. Sod is the clearest case: it is cut to order and needs to be installed within roughly a day of delivery, so the delivery date has to be coordinated tightly with the landscape contractor's crew and with finished grade and irrigation being ready. Ordering sod before the site can receive it wastes the material; ordering late idles the crew. Nursery stock runs the other direction. Specimen trees and large box sizes may need to be sourced, tagged, and held weeks or months ahead, and many tree nurseries will let the landscape architect or contractor tag specific trees at the yard so there is no dispute about what arrives. Availability is seasonal, and on California projects the plant palette is usually shaped by the state's water-efficient landscape ordinance requirements, so confirm the specified material is actually available in the specified sizes before the submittal is finalized. Hardscape material from a paver yard is more like conventional building materials: confirm dye-lot consistency across the full quantity, order overage for cuts and breakage, and plan delivery staging, since palletized pavers need forklift access and somewhere to sit that does not block the site. Artificial grass suppliers and vinyl fence suppliers typically sell system components such as turf rolls, infill, base materials, posts, panels, and gates, and most offer contractor pricing to the hardscape, fence, and landscape contractors who install them. Where a supplier offers installation through an affiliated crew, we recommend confirming the installer's license and insurance the same way you would any subcontractor's; California's CSLB publishes a free public license lookup, and requirements elsewhere vary by state and trade.
Sod is cut to order and is generally installed the day it arrives, so the order should be placed only once finished grade, soil prep, and irrigation are complete or on a firm completion date. Coordinate the delivery morning with the landscape contractor's crew size so the whole load goes down the same day, especially in hot weather.
Large box trees are often the longest-lead item in a landscape package. Desirable species and sizes may need to be located, tagged, and held at the nursery weeks to months ahead, and availability is seasonal. Having the landscape architect or contractor tag specific trees at the yard locks in exactly what will be delivered and avoids substitution disputes.
That the full quantity can ship from consistent dye lots, the overage percentage to order for cuts and breakage, lead time on any special-order colors or formats, and the delivery logistics, since palletized pavers need forklift or Moffett offload and staging space that will not block the site. Getting a physical sample board approved before ordering avoids arguments about color variation later.

Most do. Nurseries, sod farms, paver yards, and turf and fence suppliers commonly run contractor pricing tiers for landscape, hardscape, and fence contractors, and many extend accounts to general contractors and builders with a credit application. If the landscape sub is buying the material within their contract, their existing account pricing is usually better than a one-project account.
Wholesale nurseries publish availability lists, updated weekly or even daily in season, and most grant list and pricing access once a business is verified as a contractor. Check the specified species and sizes against current availability before the submittal is finalized, and flag long-lead specimen material for tagging and holds early. Where a specified plant is not available, route substitutions through the landscape architect, since California's water-efficiency requirements can constrain what counts as an equivalent.
