Large Citrus Heights landscaping supply shop shuts down

By Sara Beth Williams–
A landscaping supply shop specializing in hardscapes across from Aquarium and Reptile Depot has closed.

SiteOne Stone Center, located at 7517 Walnut Drive in Citrus Heights, appeared dark and empty during a visit by Sentinel staff last week, with the front gate locked.

The company has a second location in Citrus Heights on Auburn Boulevard. An employee at SiteOne, located at 6325 Auburn Blvd., said the Walnut Drive location closed at the beginning of the year but confirmed the Auburn Boulevard site remains open and able to serve customers’ needs.

A nearby business also confirmed the Walnut Drive location had closed several months ago.

Questions about why the Walnut Drive location closed were referred to corporate. SiteOne corporate representatives were not able to be reached for comment.

Google images from December 2024 show the Walnut Drive property, normally filled with stacks of landscaping material, vacant and empty. A visit to the property on Monday found the SiteOne Stone Center banner removed from the top of the building.

The former hardscape materials delivery center is situated between Walnut Drive and Oak Grove Avenue and consists of two parcels totaling nearly one acre of land, or 37,100 square feet, according to the Sacramento County Assessor’s Office. The portion of the property facing Oak Grove Avenue appeared to have been primarily used for material storage, according to aerial images.

SiteOne Stone Center, part of SiteOne Landscape Supply, was previously known as A&A Stepping Stone. SiteOne acquired A&A Stepping Stone in 2022.

SiteOne Landscape Supply describes itself as the largest and only national wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States and says it has a growing presence in Canada, according to the company’s website.
