I was introduced to Yamada by a kind gentleman I met at Lowe's while my mom and I were shopping for orchid bark and care supplies. He overheard our conversation and kindly advised us that regular mulch bark wouldn't work for orchids, recommending us to go to Yamada Lawn Care in Gardena. I'm so glad we followed his advice, or we would have ended up using the wrong products,yikes! When we visited Yamada, Kenny was incredibly patient and helpful. He took the time to recommend exactly what we needed. We ended up purchasing the orchid bark along with a few other garden supplies.Yamada is a small, family owned shop that seems to be a go-to spot for local gardeners. If you're having trouble with your plants or flowers, I highly recommend stopping by and talk with Kenny. He really knows his stuff and will guide you on how to care for your plants, flowers, or trees. Prices are very reasonable. read more

First time customer. Service was good even with one staff cashier. Selection was very limited, but quality of gardening tools were good. No prices listed on almost all items, had to asked numerous times - very cumbersome. Will not be returning. read more

This locally owned small business has a long history in Gardena. They specialize in gardening and lawn supplies and machinery. They helped Hubs with his edge trimmer, because he was having problems and couldn't remove the...doohickey. Sorry, I am not a gardening person at all, but the shop was busy the entire time we were there, with professionals and weekend gardeners (like Hubs) alike inside. Enjoy! And support local. read more

Yamada - 6 bags of perlite, 2 bags of pumice, 18 bags of moss, garden tools, 3 blocks of coco coir, and some fertilizers. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Gardena, California

Best nursery supply in South Bay Area been going here for years best fertilizer for my exotic fruit trees

Yamada has items that you can't find for beginners to advanced gardening. Garden tools, potting materials, fertilizers, and sprinkler supplies are only a few of their many items. Owner and employees are well informed and knowledgeable and willing to take time to help you. Prices are very good and you get what you paid for. read more

The customer service here is an absolute disgrace! Apparently it's a family business. This may have been a great business when the parents or grandparents were running it, but now the entitled offspring who inherited it act like they really don't want to work there, and as a result they're absolutely useless and outright RUDE. From the receptionist who answers the phone, who's always exasperated every time you ask her a question. To the men and women on the floor, who will actually YELL at you if you dare ask for a product that's in their warehouse and not out in the storefront yet. Some people really do not deserve to own a business. These jerks got so lucky inheriting what was a good business, but they categorically do not deserve it. It's shameful how they treat customers. read more

My dad's been a regular here for many many years. It's a small mom and pop's garden supply shop that carries just about everything you need to tend to your personal yard. Some prices are a bit higher, as they probably can't compete with the major garden/hardware shops that buy in bulk and has several chain stores. They sell quality products and hard to find specialty items here, geared towards the botanical advocates. This is where my dad goes to for his gardening tools and supplies for his private business and where I gather some plant vits for emergency revivals. I've been in here a few times and noticed how neat and organized they keep their products. The staff members are very knowledgeable, friendly, and even funny. My dad pulled a "I'm short a few bucks" on me and they called him out on it. =P I love my dad!! We stopped by the other day and noticed they're selling Cymbidium Orchids from Hartfield Nursery this Saturday, March 8th from 10am to 1pm. Other dates are posted in case you can't make it. They also providing potting demos during select times and dates for only $5!! Yamada Co has a small parking lot of a few parking spots. Your best bet is finding parking on the street, which there are plenty open spots. It's a small shop so it's probably best to call in to find out if they carry a particular item you're looking for. read more

Best place in the South Bay for gardening supplies! I've been going here for over 30 years--first was to get a set of cutlery and a lawnmower as a newlywed. Highly recommended for orchid hobbyists. They have everything from orchid mediums, pots, fertilizer, labels, bug control and watering aids. Prices are reasonable, nice staff. read more

love this shop! wish i knew about them before shopping at hydroponics stores for indoor plant supplies. they have good prices, and the selection were not overwhelming yet top notch. i'm gonna continue supporting this business read more

I wish I had discovered this place earlier. Their variety and prices in gardening supplies are even better than the big box store. I got a fantastic deal on a huge bag of perlite. I haven't used perlite in my soil because I find them a little expensive. Because of Yamada, my succulents don't have to suffer anymore. They have everything you need for gardening. Thanks Yamada! read more

I purchased my orchid bark and pro garden tools from them in a random fashion for years. I travel there from Culver City, so that says a lot. They have all of the power tools as well and will set you straight on what is needed. I called a local orchid store to price orchid bark....they wanted twenty dollars for one bag! Yamada gives you an honest price for the real thing. They have mixes as well. It's a very low key store to poke around in and get new ideas. read more

I usually come here for all of my Orchid needs. They have all gardening supplies that you would ever need. Everyone who works here is very professional and knowledgeable. I drive from Orange County to shop here because of their fair prices and quality goods. My aunt shops here as well, and she's the one who told me about this wonderful place. Service can be slow at times but are people who garden ever in a hurry? They really know how to stop and smell the flowers. read more

Talk to Donna on the phone. Great customer service. She told me I need to come in and talk to Ken. My experience with Ken was just as good in the shop. They have pretty much all that you need. I highly recommend them. read more

Love this small family business that's been around for a long time. Always seeing lots of ladies / family of ladies buying orchid supply. I think this place is awesome. Don't forget to check in for their annual orchiata orchid bark sales too read more

I've driven past this shop for decades, but never went inside. Now that I'm buying lawn care equipment and supplies for my newly landscaped yard, I stopped in and they had everything I needed every time and their prices are better than Home Depot and Lowes. They have a wealth of knowledge and give great sound advice. read more

I have been going to Yamada's for 20 + years. Everyone @ this store walks and talks gardening. If you need information about a pesky bug or vegetable growing tips you will always be able to find someone here that will help Kathy@ HoundstoothPetDental.com read more

We have been going to Yamada's for over 20 years. They have an excellent selection of supplies and power equipment for both the professional and hobbyist gardener. We buy all of our equipment there because their service department knows how to take care of the products they sell. if you have to special order a part, they will call you as soon as it comes in. read more

Yamada is the one of the best Landscape Supply Stores in the World , the staff will help you get anything for both the home owner and commercial contractors. read more

This is a great mom and pop nursery and if they don't have it I'll tell you where to get it and I love the fact that they take care of their customers and I've been shopping here for a number of years and always found them to be professional and know more about nursery and gardening than most places if you're looking for a nursery this is the place to go read more

Ultimately, they didn't have what I needed, but at least 2 people asked me if we needed help finding anything. It looks like a nice family owned business. I hope it continues to do well. read more

Oh yea a gardener's hidden gem! Prices are good and variety is there- I've drove by this place and never imagined it had a great selection.

This inconspicuous place is a gem. If your a gardener, or landscaping person this is your new go to spot. Nothing fancy, but very knowledgeable sales staff. Too many types of fertilizer, pest control, soil amendments to list. Great prices, I mean great prices seriously. They sale and service quite a few brands of lawn care machinery. This is my favorite place for veggie garden organic fertilizer, and bagged organic compost. Come check it out, you'll save enough for lunch just down the road at Guilianos!! read more

I was looking for large plastic pots for container gardening and none of the big boxes carry them. Thanks to Yelp, I went to Yamada and it is one of these shops the pros frequent and they carry lots of unique gardening products you can't find at big boxes. The shop owners are nice and knowledgeable. Plus their prices on soil are really good! Street parking in front on the side street and they carry the bags of soil all the way to your car and load it for you! A gem of a local gardening store. Wish they carry plants. read more

Great place - helpful staff! The knowledge is exceptional - if you don't want to hear the truth go to (HD) and be told what you want to hear and continue having the same problems! Lol read more

Many family members keep telling me how great this place is. I went here to pick up some orchid bark, orchid fertilizer and potting soil. An older gentleman patiently helped me and answered all my newbie questions. I appreciate all of his experienced advice. Even though there were other customers waiting, I felt like I was the only one in the store that mattered. What great service! Out of courtesy to the others, I kept my questions to the important ones and was happily on my way. Even the customers were patient and very nice. It seems like they have a longstanding, loyal following. To me, that speaks volumes as to why they've had the longevity with this kind of customer base. The family members that highly recommended Yamada to me are both retired; one used to be a landscaper and the other a gardener. read more

One of the best, if not the best hardware store for garden supplies of all kinds . Great prices and specialty items galore. One of the last of the unique hardware stores where you can find items that the big boxes just don't carry. Pruning knives from Japan are amazing. read more

Great selection of supplies for the orchid grower and the general gardener. Potting media, fertilizer, pots, tools, etc., at very attractive prices. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. Well worth the drive from Ventura County. read more

excellent customer service and dude with long hair great service and winning personality

First time visit yesterday. Yamada was recommended to me by an epi grower as a good source for perlite and other supplies. I found some short 6" pots I like to use for hanging pots and some pine bark for potting mix. Definitely will be back for supplies that the big box stores do not carry. read more
