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.

David was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We came in looking for Star Jasmine and David showed us exactly what to purchase, and how to plant and care for them. We will be back as we continue our garden project.

5/7/26 This review is based off phone conversation as I was inquiring if they sold citrus trees. I…read morelearned that most nurseries (I called about 5 in Cerritos/Lakewood/Bellflower/Cypress areas) do not sell any due to areas under QUARANTINE, I was informed they are not allowed to sell these. In particular, I was looking for calamondin as a Mothers Day gift fora dear friend & co-worker. The staff member stated they do sell citrus trees but require SPECIAL ORDER which take 4-5 days. Unfortunately, they DO NOT sell calamondin. Very good information, the staff member was courteous & helpful. It's a possibility to visit to see how their nursery grows or take care of their garden ;and check out their selections).

Many other nearby nurseries have specimens that are withering or aren't thriving, but not at S-Y. They also have palm trees, cycads, and other plants that are not as common which is very appealing. I did not make a purchase after my visit today, but I will definitely be returning and eventually adding to my garden with one of their products in the future.

Namoo Plant Shop is a small and quaint plant & tree store that's tucked in the corner of a small…read moreplaza. My boyfriend and I actually initially found it as we were driving through La Mirada, but the name of the store caught my eye and we went in a few months ago, but I'm finally getting around to writing a review for them now! There was a gentleman who was running the store, who I learned was the owner! They had apparently been open in LA for a long time before packing up and moving over to La Mirada! The plants inside (as the name might suggest) were a mixture of trees and small plants. I'm not the best at knowing what plant species are what, but the vibe was very gardeny. What I mean by that is, that the owner of the location seems familiar with the plants, handling them, repotting them, etc. The entire time we were perusing, he was moving plants around, repotting, while also being very attentive and answering our questions. My favorite part of the store is tucked away in the back corner. It's a collection of art and art pieces. The painted plants were actually painted by the store owner's mother! In the end, that's what I ended up buying (I got 3 painted pictures). I don't remember exactly what the price was, but I remember being very pleased with what we got. If you have 5-10 minutes to spare and you're in the area, I recommend checking out Namoo Plant Shop. What you find might actually surprise you!

Funny because they replied to ALL my DMs before that. So the person I gifted it to also DMed them, they replied initially, then stopped once the issue was brought up. $300 for a dead plant. They gave me no resolution, no response. I want to support a Korean owned business so bad, but the lack of customer service and accountability was pathetic. I don't recommend buying from here.
