I would strongly caution anyone considering Lakewood Nursery…read more About a year ago, I purchased a large podocarpus tree from them for several hundred dollars and paid an additional couple hundred dollars for installation in the planter in front of my house. Not long after planting, the tree didn't seem to be developing properly, so I stopped by looking for advice. The experience was disappointing. The employee helping me appeared visibly intoxicated in the middle of the day (someone I believe is connected to ownership, as I had met him during the purchase). He was unhelpful and dismissive, so I left without any real guidance. I continued trying to care for the tree, but within two months it died. When I returned to ask whether there was any warranty, replacement option, or even assistance toward purchasing a new tree, I was met by a rude employee who immediately became defensive, repeatedly emphasizing that they are a "family-owned business" while offering zero accountability or solutions. Instead, I was blamed for the tree dying, despite the fact that I had already come in previously asking for help. For a business that sells and installs expensive trees, I expected at least some level of customer service, support, or professionalism. Instead, I got poor advice, no accountability, and an overall hostile experience. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and would recommend others do the same. Update: After digging up the dead tree, it was obvious why it failed. The root ball was extremely tight and root-bound, likely from sitting too long in the nursery box. It only had two mature roots supporting it, and both had been cut during removal and installation. They also didn't use fresh soil when planting it, which gave it little chance to establish. I went to another family-owned nursery afterward, and the difference was clear--they stood behind their product and offered a one-year warranty.

He went out of his way to look for this particular plant and let me know that they had them! I went home happy and just stoked that this kind of customer service STILL existed in this world!

Who knew we had such a treasure trove of unique bonsai in LA?! From seedlings to decades-old trees,…read moreHouse of Bonsai has lots to choose from. To your left when you've parked is a section dedicated to more traditional species like junipers and Chinese Elm - there's a gate with cowbells. Inside the warehouse on the right, there are supplies (akadama soil, wire, figurines) and outside there are many decorative stones, fountains, etc. There's even a robust selection of desert bonsai, some of which even I had never seen before - and I grew up visiting Cactus Center in Rosemead. If you choose to walk a little further - and I'd recommend bringing a hat or wearing a sun shirt if you do - you'll see some older specimens and even pomegranate trees in the nursery. It's helpful to come knowing approximately what you are looking for; I was searching for a more tropical species, ficus ginseng (microcarpa), but they did not carry it. Some reviewers mentioned not seeing prices listed clearly, but I didn't find this to be an issue with younger stock (see my photo for cotoneaster). For the older trees, I completely understand why they would be individually priced because it takes years to shape and grow. The reason this isn't a 5-star review is, and here I concur with others, the manager/owner is NOT known for her customer service (or rather, lack thereof). This is a missed opportunity because you have the ideal environment to share your passion for a beautiful art form with the public. I wandered into the warehouse and not a word or greeting in 5 minutes! Now, I returned on a Tuesday to purchase soil mix (after procuring aforementioned ficus ginseng) and the ladies present were nicer and at least had some smiles and hellos to offer.

"Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks"…read more It's also the place for key duplication! Formerly the location of a Tuesday Morning, Ace Hardware now has a convenient location near me, in Lakewood. Prior, I had to drive a bit further into Long Beach to visit Ace. Needing to duplicate a house key, I remembered the new Ace location, so decided to check out the new store to accomplish my mission. Walking inside, I was immediately greeted, where I let them know my reason for visiting, and was quickly helped. The key cutting took about 5 minutes, costing only $6. While I was there, I noticed signage specifying Ace also cuts & programs car key fobs. I asked for an estimate, and was quoted $150. Wow! I recently had a mobile locksmith cut & program a new key fob for my vehicle, and I had paid $250. Granted, the convenience factor of having the locksmith show up at home & around 11 pm at night, the service should cost more. Knowing Ace can do the job and less costly to boot, I'll be heading to Ace when the need should arise. Ace Hardware's staff were friendly & hospitable, especially the gentleman handling the key duplication. Parking is via a shared lot, at the Vons Supermarket plaza. Ace is located on the left of Daiso. I am highly satisfied with my visit to Ace Hardware in Lakewood. I accomplished what I set out to do, didn't pay ridiculous prices, and have an option for car key fob cutting & programming, in the future. Also, Ace Hardware is not big & intimidating, compared to the big box hardware stores Home Depot & Lowes. I highly recommend Ace Hardware.
