They always have what I need - whether it's a hoe, the catchy trash cans, or shovels for shorter people, they have it all. Service is great! They have a little of everything. Prices are good. Yamada and company is a Gardena institution much like guilianos. I was sad to hear after 94 years, they will be closing at the end of the year. Please show your support and love for a company and family that gave so much back to the community!

I've been doing business with Yamada Company in Gardena for many, many years, and I honestly feel…read morethey are one of the best companies in the industry. Yamada is a family-owned business that has been passed down through generations, and you can really see the pride they take in serving the community. They have always had great employees, fair and competitive prices, and they are extremely trustworthy and knowledgeable. As a landscaping professional, I've relied on Yamada for pretty much everything--equipment, fertilizers, and advice on the right products and treatments for plants. They've always been willing to take the time to help and make sure I'm using the right products for the job. They serve everyone from professional landscapers to homeowners, and they treat people with the same respect. I truly can't imagine what I would have done without Yamada over the years. I'm very grateful to have had such a dependable, knowledgeable, family-owned company so close by. Thank you to the entire Yamada family and your team for all the years of great service. You guys are truly wonderful! Highly recommended!

She didn't have to come up to us with an attitude assuming we were just dumping trash on the floor or have to be rude about it. I asked one of office workers what her name was Mary the owner, what a disappointment to treat people like that Not knowing I had just purchased a good amount of stuff at her own nursery. This will be the last time I'm here. Really sad. It was great service by the workers by the way Her attitude definitely needs improvement for future customers!

This is an Acacia Podalyriifolia tree I just bought.

We…read moreonly knew which type of rose they were because we've smelled so many already from other nurseries and knew exactly which subspecies we wanted. Also, if you're looking for rarer plants, you probably won't find it here. They mainly had generic plants and trees. We came for milkweeds, and got a small butterfly weed plant for only $3 (they only had butterfly weed subspecies though). We also took a look at their roses, and some were only $13 for a pot! Plants were all well watered and not browning or wilting. Near chick fil a and denny's. We parked on the street and walked over. All in all, large nursery with great prices, but limited plant types. We will definitely be back for our plants in the future though!
