"For centuries of Japanese history, bamboo has been the symbol of strength, of endurance. The key to its strength in withstanding the forces of time and weather is its suppleness, its ability to bend in accordance with the demand of its environment. It is the same kind of strength that makes Imahara's what it is today. We strive to continually adapt to the increasing demands of your busy lifestyle and use the latest horticultural advances to accomplish these goals."

Since its beginning, Imahara’s has had a commitment of providing the public with the best landscape services available. As a design-build firm, we understand the problems of designing and installing a landscape. Our Landscape Architects will design a landscape plan for you and will personally supervise all aspects of the project, insuring a quality landscape.

Imahara’s professional staff includes Horticulturists, Landscape Architects, and some of the areas most experienced workmen. In addition to our production staff, we also offer a full-service maintenance program staffed by horticultural trained crew people. We pride ourselves in award-winning projects through the construct-maintain concept.

Our business has been built on service and customer satisfaction. Our goal is to plan your landscape to reflect your needs and lifestyle. We view the landscape as a basic necessity of life rather than a luxury. At Imahara's, we want to help you create a ‘timeless garden’ to be enjoyed today and for generations to come.
