With all the options of hydroponic stores, I would have to say that this location was pretty well stocked and nearly had all the reagents I needed for my plant care since I wanted to transition to hydroponics. The location is slightly off the highway but on a very busy street. There's only street parking available so if you're in need for anything heavy - I'd suggest parking as close the store as possible. When I walked in, the store was brightly lite and very organized. I was thrilled to see a lot of the things that I needed was in store so I had to figure out what was priority on my shopping list since some of the reagents were originally pricey. The gentlemen that helped me didn't say much but was able to suggest a few options that were similar to what I needed but I politely declined and got the items that was within my daily budget. One thing that I was worried about was getting persuaded into purchasing something that was way overpriced and something that I didn't need but I never felt that here. The service was straight forward and I was in and out within fifteen minutes. The prices here are relatively similar to what you could find online so It's great to know that your monies will be going to a local shop rather than big competitors. read more

Great service . Very knowledgeable of all products. Helped me understand what I needed to do and products to use to get a great yield . Thanks ! read more

Love this place, but number is out of service and no way to contact other than driving all the way out there. Was bummed when they closed the store in Richmond/Albany. Hoping they haven't gone out of business. We need more places likes this. Way better products and customer service than big box stores. read more

They had exactly what I wanted which was the fox farm ocean soil. Plus they carried the bag to my car so that's also a plus! Haha I'll be back because they had so much good stuff and the customer service was great. Definitely check them out if you're into gardening and hydroponic items. read more

WC Garden Supplies Hydroponics - Hydroponics Near Me - San Pablo, California

Update: Happy to report this company is out of business. Gee, what a surprise. The numerous 5 star reviews are not credible. The two jerks I dealt with could not possibly earn those descriptions. You should be suspicious when they are all 5 stars. So they only provide excellent service, never good service? Look carefully at all the positive reviews. Not many specifics- just the general kind of thing a friend might say to support you. Where are the testimonials that they went the extra mile when something went wrong? MIA. Original review: I purchased a hydroponic system from this company. I discovered a safety issue with the controller whereby it reversed the polarity of the outlets, an unsafe situation for submersible pumps. I wanted to bring it in to show them the issue, but what happened was unreal. Apparently only one person can handle returns, and in my attempt to contact that person I was told, "I can't have him call you back because I don't have a pen," I was told I would have to wait three days for him to return, when I arrived three days later I was told I would have to wait 20 minutes for him to return from the bank, when I asked if they could just videotape my demonstration I was told "No, he will be here in a minute" (I thought it was 20). I said it could be difficult to judge when someone will return, so could he call him to find out, and during the call he repeatedly told the manager that I was impatient. When he learned the manager would not be returning anytime soon, he suggested he would videotape it. But then he started lecturing me that he had other customers to deal with. I pointed out that I saw no customers and that he was just sitting behind the counter. He accused me of being sarcastic and coming in the store and telling everyone what to do. I worked professionally with emotionally disturbed people, and he exhibited similar behaviors. His responses to me were so erratic that I turned on my video and put my phone in my pocket so as not to be in his face about it. Another employee noticed it, and I was told I had to turn off my video. I explained that I grew concerned for my safety when he became belligerent for no reason, but he asked me to leave. When I asked if the store had a written policy that people cannot videotape in their store, he said, "Yes." I suppose if you are going to treat customers so poorly, you don't want the world knowing about it. read more

Excellent products, great prices, and super service. When I returned to resupply, Frank remembered me and provided the same outstanding service. I strongly recommend this store. read more

See all

Mike greeted us with excellent customer service before even entering the building. He gave my husband and I advice that we greatly needed for our new project. After entering the building Frank greeted us and he was a wealth of information. We went into the store thinking we needed so many different product and Frank assured of what we needed and what wasn't necessary. My husband and I left the store feeling very confident with all the education we received. We will definitely be returning. read more

I have been going here since the start of my garden last year and they have kept me right since day one. Being a new grower i often just picked the brain of the guys up there and left with the products and knowledge i needed to be successful. If one store doesn't have it, they have no issue checking the other location for you. its dope that the guys there want you to have the success they have in their own gardens! no reason to go anywhere else with them having two locations! read more

Always a friendly and helpful staff. This is my #1 stop for all gardening needs. They have everything I'm looking for and can answer any questions I ask. Highly recommended!! read more

Great, knowledgeable, skilled, team at WC Garden! My visits are always educational and updated each time. Thanks for being local! www.weedith.com read more

This review is long overdue but I can honestly say WC Garden Supplies Hydroponics is the best place to get all your materials for any kind of your gardening needs. When I first walked in I spoke to Frank and told him what kind of project I was thinking of and he set me up with everything to start my project. Frank and Walt were the top 2 guys that helped me and gave me all the much needed advice for my project. These guys are super honest and don't try to haggle you at all for your money. They were super informational especially with all the questions I had. After coming here and buying all the things I needed and all the useful information they provided I was very confident on my project because of the big help that they offered! Don't waste your time buying your gardening needs at home depot because you won't get the knowledge that these guys have here. I highly recommend them for their quality service, attention to detail, and being very informational and helpful. Also, I can't forget about the other gentleman, Mike (I hope that was his name) who was so nice carrying all my heavy items into my car every time I stopped by. read more

When Frank is there all is well, customer service with a smile always. Lately, the new kid working there leaves a lot to be desired. Usual surly attitude , like he doesn't appreciate the paying job he has. Doesn't offer to help carry stuff to the car, has his head up his phone the whole time. Today, showed up to find a "back in 5 minutes" sign taped to the door. I waited 45 minutes before giving up. While I was there three other customers came by, waited a while then left unhappy. The kid probably went to a long lunch while on the WC payroll. He should have applied for a job at McDonald's emptying the trash, that is what he is most suited for, a supervised job so he can't slack off and behind the scenes so customers don't have to put up with his poor attitude. Went to home depot for soil and fertilizer and was in and out in 20 minutes. Everyone there was helpful and efficient. I'm not coming back to WC if that kid is still there acting like he works there. read more

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I'm glad I stopped by. I would definitely return to pickup items for my hydroponic gardening.

Very friendly staff the new their stuff. Small shop with a good variety of materials at very good prices.

Its my first time having an outdoor garden and this place has everything i need including very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Every item i purchase and have questuons about is explained to make sure my plants get proper care. I leave here feeling more confident in my ability to grow every time i visit read more

Best Garden Store in the Bay. Shopped around everywhere before finding this place, not only are they extremely knowledgeable but friendly and somehow how the best prices anywhere. I recommend this place to everyone I know but this will be my first yelp review for them. I'd drive an hour to shop here if your wondering how good of a place this is. Your one-stop-shop, and they can custom order anything if they don't have it on site for you. Thanks guys, see you soon! read more

Needed to get some nutrients and found this place on yelp, great customer service, the owner frank helped me find what I needed, they have a good selection of stuff, not the best but not bad by any means, and their prices are really good. Overall a pleasant experience. read more

In the past, I've always gotten major things I need for gardening projects either up north bc of convenience at the time or online for minor things, but recently started coming here for a new outdoor project and I can't say enough good things!!! The prices are great esp for the Bay (competitive w prices state and countrywide honestly), advice is there if you want it but they aren't pushy in the slightest, the selection is really good -dirt, nutrients, pesticides, pots, any and everything you could ever need - they are STOCKED, and everyone I've come into contact with at both the Richmond and San Pablo locations have been super cool and accommodating (like when I was that jerk that showed up at 5pm on the dot on Saturday when they close to buy 19 bags of dirt bc I forgot they're closed Sunday!). They've always been extremely kind and helpful, ask your name, listen to what you're trying to do and help you in the best way they can. I love this place and feel super lucky to have it within a couple of miles of my house. Thankful for this badass local business!!!! read more

Above and beyond expectations!!! Walt and Frank are the guys to see!!! It was time for me to upgrade my setup they had everything I needed soil, lights and the nutrients that I wanted. They even gave me some much needed knowledge to success. I'm more than happy with my results!!!!! Walter even special order some equipment that came in the next day as promised!!!! Go see the pros at W.C. see you soon Walt!!!!! read more

Been to this place a few times so far. They have incredible service, great products, and are very knowledgeable about their craft. Also, their prices so far have been very competitive. I would recommend this place to anybody that needs quality gardening products, or just has a quick question about their gardening experience. read more

If you are looking for honest, educated, and non biased opinions on how to effectively be the best gardener possible, go to WC Hydro store. I've gone to other places where they try to leach me out with useless products, not these guys. They are straight up, and will give you a positive vibe towards growing. I can't thank these guys enough. read more

Best hydroponic shop with the best prices. Go by and holla to Frank and he'll get you situated. Very knowledgeable man.

My friend told me about this place. I went there because they sell vapes and some really cool flashlight stun guns. They had better pricing then Ive seen in local stores. I do not know much about hydroponics but they sure seemed to have a good selection of stuff. read more

Needed some soil for my new garden and happened in the area. The owner Frank was very nice and gave me a good deal on a couple bags of soil (way better than the Home Depot). He also introduced me to hydroponics and using the right nutrients for different types of gardens. Can't wait to try out some ideas during the Spring. read more

I really can't say enough good things about this business. The level of experience, knowledge and customer service exceeds any other indoor garden supply store that I've encountered, and I've been growing since 2008 all over NorCal. There's no bullsh*t with these guys. They have literally everything you need and/or will special order at the customers request any product not in store. They are ALWAYS happy to help and happy to see each and every customer as if we're all their neighbors. And hey we are all in the cannabis community right? So it really should always feel personal and friendly when talking shop with other farmers. I would estimate that they've spent at least a couple hours in total taking the time to give us advice and coaching through our last cycle- and we had amazing results. Couldn't have done it without WC Garden Supply. Big Ups to Walter, Frank and Antonio for being true OG growers, phenomenal business people and leaders of this industry and community. read more

amazing hydroponic shop, they will take care of you here, extremely friendly and knowledgeable and they have great prices,
