We recently had a privacy screen of bamboo installed into our small condo backyard and everything…read moreabout the experience was easy. If you are looking for bamboo for your yard this is hands down the place to go. The service is prompt, and the family that owns this business is exceptionally kind and knowledgable. The tour of their bamboo farm is well worth the drive out. We started with a tour of their massive bamboo farm, where they showed us all the different varieties they grow and the different ways they can be used. We chose a species that we felt would be a good fit for our space. They then came out to our house and measured and assessed the site. They were quick to get back to us with a quote that seemed more than fair given all the labor involved in the installation. It had taken me a little while to schedule them out to the house for the assessment, so I was grateful when they graciously had us to come back a second time to look at the species we were choosing for our yard. Once we confirmed the species, they were super quick to come back out and get the job done. In less than a day they transformed my entire backyard; which was no small feat as it was weed ridden, and our soil is so hard it might as well be rock. They dug out the clay, lined the entire surface to prevent spreading into my neighbors yards, back filled it with quality soil covered it with mulch, installed a drip system, and even fixed my heavily leaning fence. This job would have taken me months to accomplish, and it never would have turned out as beautiful. I had follow up questions a few weeks later and they got back to me within minutes giving me all the information I needed to ensure the bamboo remains happy and healthy. Paso Bamboo is not only experts when it comes to bamboo, but they excel in providing a good customer experience that leaves you feeling well taken care of.

I had a good experience with Gavino at the beginning of my customer experience, but four years…read morelater the clumper bamboo I was sold is actually a runner, as evident by my lifting pavers and numerous shoots springing up away from the container it was planted. It is a yellow bamboo-Gavino does not sell clumpers and this caused concern to pavers lifting as well as concerns it could spread to the neighbors since this is on a fence line. His team did a good job planting a black bamboo runner a year and a half later in late 2019 and I am hoping that the better install holds or I'll have more digging to do to figure out the issue. My two stars is for the way that Gavino treated me after raising concerns about not knowing about maintenance that he swears he told me (to cut back any new roots) in November and swearing that it was my impatience for vertical growth that caused him to sell me a clumper-he liked to blame customers. This is not the case.. I researched online and wanted a clumper and asked for that from the get go. I did not care a ton on the look of the bamboo as I am not a bamboo eficenodo. Just wanted a privacy screen. He did try to work with me to see if the installers of the original bamboo used the right container, but I feel like my home was an experiment or something and he clearly told the landscapers it was a clumper too-they shared the same concern and did not purchase plants from him for this reason. I wish I had had the same information! My pictures of the black bamboo planting are on his website and the installers did a good job and the plant is healthy. I wish that Gavino could have taken my concern more seriously and tried to work with the landscapers (All Season who charged $2200 to remove 4 feet of pavers and plat three 15 gallon bamboo in a 5.5 ft area that is now jumping the container because Paso Bamboo was too busy to plant at that time). That was a costly mistake. I'm playing cat and mouse between the companies to figure out what to do from here and Gavino hung up on me after getting hot headed..this isn't a first. So please educate yourselves on bamboo from a reputable online site before dealing with this situation-I wish I had not put so much trust into the companies and had more in detail via email to prove the inaccuracies. Be careful-invasive bamboo can get out of hand and destroy if not handled properly.

We've been buying our Christmas tree from Hopper in Paso Robles for just about 25 years. I was…read moretalking with another customer this morning at the lot, and he was saying how they used to buy from Home Depot. Less expensive, but you don't know what you're getting once the tree is removed from the netting. You know exactly what you're choosing from Hopper Brothers, and the prices were better this year. The trees stay healthy if you take care of them, and we don't have to cut it down ourselves. Yes, we did give our family that experience back when they were young, but nearing retirement age means I'd prefer the tree already be cut and ready to take home! Take in a wrapped present or canned/boxed foot item and one of their coupons, and Hopper also offers a discount. Merry Christmas!

We just closed on our house at the end of January and have had big plans for various landscaping projects. Mike came out, evaluated the property, gave us so much valuable information that we didn't even think about. Mike walked the property and showed us existing plants that needed care, made recommendations on what type of plant could be planted in certain areas....Finally, we decided we wanted to plant a small vineyard for our property and we knew what types of grapes (mostly table). When we mentioned Cotton Candy grapes, Mike said he wouldn't sell us grapes that are hard to grow and temperamental. Being first time grape growers, we had no idea...we just knew we liked to eat them from the grocery store (No wonder they're so expensive)! We did get our grape plants from MIke and they are GORGEOUS!! DON'T TACKLE YOUR PROJECT ALONE!!! Call Mike at North County trees. You'll be glad you did!!

I cannot recommend North County Trees enough. Our son found the owner after researching many…read morenurseries in the area. So knowledgeable and gave us wonderful advise on the best trees and plants for the very hot days and cold nights. Being in the country and we needed quite a few trees, and we ended up getting about 30. We bought Olive trees, Raywood Ash, Mulberry, Leyland Cypress, and fruitless Plums. All are thriving and with the advice on fertilizing and care they are huge, much taller than we expected in just a few years. We had something going after our fruitless plums this year, I sent a picture and within the hour he emailed back and told us what pest were attack (pincher bugs) and how to get rid of them. So what I love is that long after North County Trees sold us our trees, they are still there to help diagnose any issues we might have with seasonal pests. My son just bought in Pacific Palisades and is redoing all the landscaping and is seriously considering driving up here so he can use them. The prices are unbeatable.
