Our Story
Handcrafted Since the 90s
For over 25 years, we've been handcrafting authentic bamboo water features in our San Rafael workshop, bringing the timeless tranquility of the Japanese garden to homes across America.
Where It Began
A Passion for Japanese Garden Aesthetics
Bamboo Accents was born from a passion for Japanese garden aesthetics and a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship. What started as a hobby in a small garage workshop has grown into a trusted source for garden centers, landscape designers, and homeowners seeking authentic water features.
Our founders discovered the art of bamboo water features during travels through Japan, studying with craftsmen who had perfected these techniques over generations. They returned home determined to bring this tradition to American gardens.
Our Values
What We Believe
Handcrafted Quality
Every piece is made by hand in our California workshop. No mass-production, no shortcuts. Just skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Sustainable Practice
We source bamboo responsibly and use traditional techniques that minimize waste. Our products are built to develop beautiful character naturally over time.
Authentic Design
Our designs honor traditional Japanese aesthetics while being practical for American gardens. Form and function in harmony.
The Craft
Built to Last
Each bamboo pole is carefully selected for straightness, node placement, and wall thickness. We age our bamboo naturally to develop the rich golden-brown color and increased durability that sets our products apart from imported alternatives.
Every joint is tested for water-tightness before a piece leaves our workshop. The result is a water feature that sounds, looks, and feels authentic—a true piece of Japanese garden tradition adapted for lasting enjoyment in any climate.
