Baller Hardware

Every time I come here it's a positive experience. The employees are helpful and exceptionally competent. They're always able to show me exactly where to find what I need. I've purchased wood several times for some hobby projects and they've cut it for me perfectly (even that alone is worth it!). I can't see any reason why I would ever go to a "big box" store after coming here - it's the neighborhood resource we needed.

The gardening section had so many options — most of the plants looked happy and healthy. The cashier gave us a sweet 20% discount for a pot. Will be back again!

There was a very rude guy. He said things that were the complete opposite of what other workers said and sounded like he was making up rules. It was a very disrespectful shopping experience. I also wasn’t expecting to encounter him on Friday. I wouldn’t go back.

I can't tell you about the hardware aspect of the store besides there being different wood material and they offer to cut it for you, too. And dowels that will be great for plant support. I can speak a little more about the garden center as that was the focus of my 1st visit. General notes: there is a paid parking lot in the back of the store. Staff was very helpful and friendly. I asked if I could bring in my dog and they said yes and even offered her a little treat. They were having a 20% off sale on plants for a weekend and I stopped by for the first time. Their indoor selection of plants is small but good with your typical common indoor plants and not overly priced in ny opinion. At the time I went, there were your typical golden pothos, Dieffenbachias, and some rubber plants to name a few. I even spotted a gorgeous single queen pothos that I wish I would have snatched up now thinking of it. Next to the indoor plants is a shelf with some pots and what I liked most is very good prices on their terracotta pots of various sizes. Their outdoor garden selection wasn't huge but much bigger than their indoor selection. They have various succulents, Alocasias, Colocasias, ferns, cacti, flowers, and so on. They have a little bit of everything (1 or 2 pots of the same plants). The woman (I didn't get her name unfortunately but was very nice and gave me plant care advice) who was managing the garden section said the selections change from time to time. They also have large bags of soil - in-ground and all purpose soil is what I remember seeing. Overall, great store and friendly staff. Smaller than other other larger known hardware store but great place to check here first for what you need and support your local shop for your hardware and garden needs.

Great to have a local hardware store! Better to support these types of places than the big box stores.

Cool spot they have a garden section in the back

Local hardware store easy access parking in the back well-stocked home repairs also have a little gardening shop you also in the order online and then be delivered to the store The staff is friendly and helpful

The nicest staff!! I needed a new remote for my car key and really struggled changing it out. The cashier helped me and walked me through everything I needed even though it was just a tiny battery. Incredibly kind people and so grateful to have them in the neighborhood!

The folks here have helped me time and time again. Missing 3 random screws in your TV and cannot figure out the size? Not a problem. Need an adapter for your bidet attachment? We got you. Cleaning products, light bulbs, plant food, hooks, wood, WD40 -- literally everything. They also answer the phone and will help you with your questions. They will also help you in-store, baby. This place rocks. And there's parking. God bless

I live down the street from the strip and walk to Baller Hardware all of the time. They are very nice the owners and staff always helpful and always fully stocked. They are so knowledge about all of their products and how to build and repair things I don't even have to go on you tube I just ask them what i need. They always take care of me especially Alejandra and Nick they are the sweetest. I rarely go to Home Depot anymore and I love supporting local businesses. The new owners really took the time to restock and update this hardware store on the York Blvd strip from when the previous owners ran it. There is also a nursery in the back and its all very well done and friendly. I bought a rose bush a few months ago and they have a wonderful supply and very reasonable pricing in nursery I love the natural cleaning products and updated feel yet somehow it still feels like you are walking into a 1950's small business at the same time. Thats why I say very well done the retro/ futuristic feel typical of High Land Park is alive in Baller Hardware.

Super helpful and super knowledgeable staff. This is the neighborhood hardware store everyone wishes they had, and if you live in Highland Park - you do! Extra bonus - they have a decent selection of building materials and will deliver. Extra extra bonus - extremely decent and reasonably priced garden / plant section.

Rude EE's maybe due to their family association (no customer service shown.) I placed an order 4 screens, cld 2 check up on status as requested. Given an excuse n a future pick up date. On that diff date I cld and was told it would be ready. When I arrived it wasn't. No apologies given just excuses - they were busy n they should not be held accountable 4 their promises, they were busy and it was my all my fault n responsibility to accept delays. They couldn't b expected 2 call customers 4 updates. Have stopped supporting this pricey hardware after years of being a loyal customer. Businesses should have good customer practices specially when surrounding stores r much cheaper n have more variety they don't value their customers times only theirs. Will never recommend them again Not sure about the response. Oh I see the response was from Baller on York. I had bad experience at Baller on Tracy n Hyperion in Los feliz area I had no issues with the Baller at York. Did not realize there were 2 stores with same name. I apologize So That must have been another unsatisfied Customer. It was not me My order was with screens no screen doors. Nothing to do with doors. That relative I believe was ur nephew. Very rude n entitled. As a business owner im grateful for my customers. I was so disappointed with his service I left a msg for the owner. Never heard back. Again I'm a sr citizen n he EE even made an excuse for ur screen guy that he was old n did the best he could he also let it b k own if I wasn't happy I could go elsewhere. I did it was not too far from ur location @ 6040 San Fernando Rd (Central Screen Co) they were great n cheaper

Great staff, super helpful. I got keys copied and a propane tank, both were reasonably priced. Keys worked great

They have really affordable garden products and native plants! This is definitely my garden center of choice. Very helpful staff as well.

Thank you for being such an amazing part of this neighborhood. Today, we asked Baller if they would help us get a playhouse from our backyard over to the local elementary school and they didn't even hesitate to help!. One of their associates brought a forklift over and took the time to get the house over to the Kindergarten playground for the upcoming school year. This type of kindness and spirit is what makes a community thrive, so thank you!

The staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and mostly friendly. I don't feel stupid coming here as a woman with zero knowledge of anything hardware, gardening, etc. Everything is reasonably priced as well. Shop local! Come here.

The best hardware store around for me, nearby, helpful knowledgeable employees...competitive prices. As a landlord and homeowner in the 90027 I have been a regular customer for many years

Seriously - a hardware store that closes at 5pm? I hope you are out of business soon with those hours.

This place is as sprawling as a warehouse and yet...it doesn't seem to have key things that one needs. In contrast a lean, mean, tight little hardware store can have all and sundry eclectic items impossibly piled in, yet with all this airy real estate here, they can't stock those pesky variations of little connectors and miscellanea that households need. The excellent woman who works here and is so pleasant. I love her! The other service team can seem distracted and give you curtailed answers instead of options and work arounds. One does enjoy a nuanced explanation of different options. I'd sooner have Baller's than Home Depot or Loews big box, but this store seems like they are using shelf space for household cleaning supplies, paper goods, and the like for which you can go to Target. We need those peskly little gizmos and ten variations of odd bits and bobs. That's what I like about tiny hardware stores! On the plus side, if you're going to have to shop in a tight store with confined air, I'd rather come here with the high ceilings and air flow. Safer! Just beware the vulturish parking lot attendant who springs hefty fines on your windshield if you don't pay your parking coins correctly.

I've lived in Highland Park for a few years now, and let me tell you, there is no better hardware store and plant nursery than this. Keith in the garden center is the MAN. He is so knowledgeable and helped my roommate and I find the PERFECT plants for our home. We got an olive tree (now named Uncle Keith) and a pothos and a basil plant and he was simply the most helpful person I've encountered, as well as friendly and kind. We will never go anywhere for plants again tbh. Enjoy these pictures of our beautiful home!

Really helped me figure out the least expensive way to fix some leaking outdoor faucets . Only Local hardware stores take the time to help figure things out and no need to waste time and gas at a big box store. Thanks Ballers.

Love Baller. Friendly service, close, good selection, what more could you want? Feels like part of the neighborhood

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I buy many of my gardening needs here. Great healthy plants, indoors and out. Great prices. They go on sale regularly and I take advantage of the discount. Give them a try.

I love Baller. I've come here 3x to build beds that I didn't have screws for and 3x they have helped me find exactly what I need. I love that the staff is actually knowledgeable and helpful here!

Beautiful plants in the garden center -- Keith was SO helpful in guiding us to the perfect pot/soil/macrame holder once I laid eyes on my dream pothos--a big plant for only $17.99!! Very happy customer over here! Thank you!!

WARNING! This place is EXPENSIVE! A box of screws and anchors for $43.00 HOLY SHIT! I can see it being a little more expensive than HOME DEPOT or LOWE'S but $43.00 ? A similar box at HOME DEPOT is less than $20.00. I guess the hipsters have deep pockets and don't mind getting gouged for a simple box of hardware.

A wonderful independent hardware store. Everyone is friendly and the selection is good. The garden center is a real bonus and Keith who works there could not be more helpful!

Baller Hardware has an amazing garden center tucked in the back!! Their selection is so good and the prices are awesome! I've been twice and Keith has been so helpful and kind, especially with my two young girls running around. For fantastic plants, service and great prices, I highly recommend this place. Thank you, Keith!

Cleaned up from the previous business, flexible with an exchange that I needed and had people willing to help !

This place is great! We've been shopping at Baller Silverlake for years, so we were excited to see another one open in Highland Park, which is closer to us. It's big, spacious, airy, has an excellent selection, and the gentleman who helped us was kind, attentive, and informative. Highly recommend!

Amazing staff, very knowledgeable, very kind and helpful. Amazing garden center. Alejandra and Keith were great today. I just love this place.

It's great to have a real hardware store in the area. Super friendly service, they sell lumber and have a solid garden area. They usually have what I'm looking for without having to go to one of those big box stores.

Extremely helpful, well stocked and able to order anything you might need. Prices are comparable to hope depot, and better quality lumber from what I've seen so far.

Great addition to neighborhood. Family owned hardware store with good service. Not mega chain. Reinvigorating previous hardware store in same location which closed. Good to support!

Best hardware store to go to has everything you need and the Garden center is beautiful many different plants to choose from ever need help finding what you need we got you come in we can help you find what you need we are great customer service can't wait to help you guys

Well done, quick rescreening! Nöel was super helpful and nice. Also hot tip: they have California native plants! I am so happy they are not too far away. Local hardware stores can't be beat for service.
