We are a family-owned & operated small business in Santa Cruz county servicing the Bay Area to San Diego. We offer three main services that cater to a variety of customers: we are a retail bamboo nursery, garden, and licensed specialty landscapers. We carry almost 97 different species of bamboo, both running and clumping varieties. With our vast selection, we can help you find a bamboo species that best suits your needs! Perfect for small DIY projects. Our staff is happy to help you choose the species best for you and provide you with all the knowledge and tools we can offer to help set you up for success! Our beautiful grounds will have you feeling like you stepped into a little piece of heaven. With groves upon groves of some of the tallest bamboo on the west coast towering over you, the sound of the wind rushing through the bamboo leaves, and the peaceful lily pond with a stunning man-made waterfall, you'll feel as though you've been transported into another world. This serene spot is perfect for family picnics at our picnic tables, as well as easy trails for everyone to enjoy! Our licensed landscape team takes pride in their work. Each landscaping job is custom to you. When you choose to install a bamboo hedge through us, we install a 30 mm thick polyethylene plastic that we refer to as our "Rhizome barrier" to fully contain the bamboo's rhizomes and prevent them from spreading. Hedges can be adjusted to block a range of views; both in height, width, and density.
