Reviews of local pros in Seaside, California

I buy my vegetables there and they grow every year. Thank you for having a Seaside location.

Enjoyed looking at some of the succulents and greenery. Nice place to buy pots as well.

They sold me plants on the California Invasive Species list. Please stop selling people these plants!

I get all my plants, bird baths, soil & sand from Seaside Garden. They have many beautiful flowers & succulents. The people that work there are always so nice & knowledgeable.

Judy is the nicest!
Super patient letting me ramble on and thinking out loud.
They got mulch, DG fines, local, and i look forward to using Hana Gardens soon!

Such nice people! Came in with an obscure request for a small fern for a terrarium and Francisco was able to hook me up right away.

Show this local nursery some love!

I shop here regularly, and I'm disappointed how they don't acknowledge me. From what i see theres at least 2-3 workers, I know at times it can get busy but not even a I'll be right with you. Seems like the workers don't care for giving decent service.

Nice store with a good selection of plants, flowers and garden tools. However, my only time buying from here was a bad experience, as one of the people working there was very rude and unprofessional. Because of little misunderstanding, he got angry and started talking to me in a very impolite way as if I was trying to steal something from him. This kind of dealing with customers is certainly not something you would normally see at stores in this area. Customer service is more important for me than quality of items sold, prices, etc. One thing for sure, this was my first and last time shopping at this place.

We purchased a lot of plants here for double the price of home depot and received terrible customer service after some of the plants died. We inquired as to the specific care of the plants and followed as told. Yet the plants did not do as we were told. We brought them back and showed a video to the manger and he rudely refused to exchange these dead plants as he had recommended. We have a beautiful garden in Carmel by the Sea and we take great care of our plants and flowers. We would not recommend throwing your money in the waste at this nursery. They do not care for taking care of valued customers. One Star is too much.

1. Wanted to like then but the quality or health of the plants seemed poor relative to the price.
2 I bought expensive gravel. She loaded the bag so as to hide it has a hole and leaked gravel. When I saw an open bag, I asked to buy or have it but she said no. Why not give me a little of the extra gravel to make up for the gravel lost before loading it? Plus I had no warning so it spilled all over and took time to clean it up.
3. They said go to other location. I say how do you know it’s in stock? He says we know what we have in our store. Yet they sold inventory the did t have at their own store so I got a refund lol
4. They ignore you unless you talk to them even at the register desk

So they seem cheap to a fault. Will take my corporate card and compulsive buying to another place.

Hana Gardens Seaside has a great selection, friendly and helpful staff and very good prices. Several native California plants that encourage butterfly and bee activity.

Poor customer service. I walked up to the register to purchase gravel, but was ignored by the 2 workers behind the counter. They saw me but casually continued their conversation for several minutes. There were no other customers (awkward). After that everything went smoothly.

I am a landlord, and I usually source my landscaping and plants from Home Depot. This was my first visit to the Seaside Garden Center. Eddie was very friendly and knowledgable. He answered questions ranging from paving materials to robustness of specific plant recommendations as hedges or trees. I will be back for more plants and advice!!

There is no way that I would get this level of service at the big stores like Home Depot.

RIPPED off $60 and my time plus was insulted.

My neighbor suggested that I go to yelp to make my complaint. Once here I noticed, I wasn’t the only person who’s been treated badly by the manager of this location. I was only in the store for 10 minutes to spend quite a bit of money on gravel. I was treated as if I was an inconvenience which is not what I’m used to experiencing since I have supported this location since it opened and live nearby. Basically, Felicia was rude. I was stunned. We set up delivery for the gravel and when the gravel delivery guy arrived I simply kindly asked him to angle his truck so that the gravel would fall on the left side of the driveway instead of the right so I would have a place to park my car since there’s limited parking on my street. My neighbors witness is rude reaction by him yelling no twice and I finally said OK put it wherever you want. At that point, he said no, I’m not leaving the gravel here and drove off. Once again, I had to deal with Felicia. She offered to have a different delivery driver, but it wasn’t for another week and I had deadlines to meet with the landscaping refreshment of my yard. I said I would like to have a refund because granite rock would be able to deliver the next day. Felicia said we will only refund you the gravel but not the delivery fee which is completely wrong. Ripping someone off of $60 because of a driver that had an attitude.

Granite Rock - was amazing - they were able to angle their truck into my driveway and drop the gravel off exactly how I asked for it. It was no big deal to them. They were happy to provide excellent customer service.

It’s been 5 mos now and the owner (Mori) has not returned my call to refund me the $60. Most likely because his manager did not relay the message. My neighbors who witnessed the drivers poor attitude have also decided not to shop at Hana Gardens. I’m sure this store has lost far more than the $60 they took from me by lost sales. This is very disappointing as I’ve supported and purchased garden supplies from this location since the day they opened.

Great little nursery. The outdoor garden area is put together well and looks great. The interactions I had with employees were nice & helpful.

Hana's is becoming my GoTo nursery. They are always friendly and helpful. They were the only nursery who was able to solve my tree leaf disease, and provided me with the necessary product and clear instructions to remedy the problem. They clearly know plants and enjoy sharing their knowledge with their customers.

Hana Gardens (Seaside) is one of the nicest and most peaceful spots in the area. The gardens are beautifully maintained, the walkways are clean, and the whole property feels calm and inviting. I often buy plants here because they are always healthy, well-cared-for, and reasonably priced. You can really see the pride the staff puts into maintaining the gardens and overall environment. It’s a quiet, charming place and an excellent community in Del Rey Oaks.

Kevin comes highly recommended. He has performed monthly yard maintenance, planting trees and trimming, removal and several other critical landscaping tasks to help keep our yard looking great.

He is a hard worker, honest and fair with regards to estimates and billing. Kevin also possess excellent communication skills.

Very appreciative of having someone like Kevin looking after our landscaping needs.

We asked Kevin and his team to help us install sod and pavers. I've attached photos of the result. We were extremely happy with the work, responsiveness, pricing ... pretty much everything:
- They came before installation date with sod and pavers so that work would be completed on time
- They went above and beyond the call of duty adjusting my broken gate, burying my sump pump pipe and fixing/ensuring my sprinklers were working when they left. This is even after I kept telling them that they didn't have to do these things since they were broken before they arrived. We did end up hiring them to fix the gate properly as we customers should not get used to freebies. They deserve to be paid for their labors but I state this to show by example how hardworking and professional they are.
- They did not give us *the* lowest quote but we went with them anyway because they struck us has trustworthy and hardworking. I still feel I got more than I bargained for.
Some before and after photos

My experience wit them precisely. The job they did was OK, but when asked to follow up on a number of issues, they were missing in action. 5 phone calls to them went unanswered.Very unprofessional

Craven is one of the oldest and finest landscaping companies on the Monterey peninsula and I highly recommend them..
