History
We started in 1949, and are still family owned and operated. Bill Henderson returned from WWII where he was a tank commander in Guadalcanal and many other battles. Upon his return to Santa Rosa Bill decided that he didn't want to be part of the family business. (Hendersons Mens Wear & Gents Furnishings) He started Gardeners Aid in spring of 1949 and was the first gasoline powered chainsaw dealer in California. William H. Henderson pasted the torch to his nephews in September of 2001. Current owners, brothers, Bill and Paul Henderson are involved in daily operations.
Specialties
We are, kind of, the Neiman Marcus of outdoor power tools. We cater mainly to professional landscape installation and maintenance contractors. We also serve tree service professionals. We have GREAT quality outdoor power tools, parts, service and supplies. Homeowners, and DIY folks are certainly welcome, but only if they want the kind of service that seems to be a thing of the past. In this day of cyber-everything, the internet is clickity click real easy, with no back up or service if there is a problem. The owner, Bill is not satisfied until he takes you out back to make sure you have an understanding of how to operate your equipment, safely. The staff is Old School, a little gruff around the edges, super knowledgeable, and know what they're doing when it comes to repairs and power equipment. Check it out.
