This acquisition marks a strategic expansion in the San Francisco Bay area market, a significant step toward strengthening the company’s presence in Northern California.
Doug Black, Chairman and CEO of SiteOne Landscape Supply, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “With this addition, Devil Mountain President Drew McMillan continues to execute on the company’s growth strategy.

This move underscores SiteOne’s commitment to enhancing its market reach and providing comprehensive solutions to landscape professionals. Pacific Nurseries’ well-established operations and customer relationships complement Devil Mountain’s extensive portfolio, further solidifying the company’s leadership in the industry.
A Legacy of Excellence
Pacific Nurseries has been a cornerstone of the Bay Area’s landscaping community for 28 years. Founded and operated by the Baldocchi family, the nursery has built a strong reputation for quality, service, and dedication to its employees. Drew McMillan, President of Devil Mountain Wholesale Nursery, emphasized the importance of maintaining Pacific Nurseries’ legacy. “The Baldocchi family have created and maintained a wonderful nursery that has served our industry for 28 years,” said McMillan. “We look forward to continuing their legacy of quality, service, and dedication to their employees while we merge our teams under the Devil Mountain brand.”
By integrating Pacific Nurseries’ operations into Devil Mountain’s framework, the joint venture aims to enhance service offerings and operational efficiency while preserving the core values that have driven Pacific’s success over nearly three decades. This merger not only expands the geographic footprint of Devil Mountain but also enriches its product diversity, ensuring landscape professionals in the region have access to a broader range of high-quality materials.
Strategic Growth in the Bay Area
The San Francisco Bay Area is a vibrant and competitive market for landscaping services. With this acquisition, Devil Mountain gains a strategically located site in Colma, California, enabling the company to better serve its customers and meet the growing demand for premium landscape products. The Bay Area’s unique climate and diverse landscaping needs make it a crucial market for suppliers like Devil Mountain, and the addition of Pacific Nurseries positions the company to address these demands effectively.
Doug Black highlighted the broader implications of the acquisition for SiteOne’s overall strategy. “Our goal is to offer the full range of landscape products and services to our customers across the U.S. and Canada. Expanding our footprint in key markets like the Bay Area is essential to achieving this vision,” he said.
