places to buy good quality landscape benderboard in LA?

I'm working on a landscape remodel and need to find some quality benderboard. Lowe's and Home Depot have stuff that is junk, very thin, narrow, poor quality materials, just not even worth considering.

I'm interested in two products I've seen but can't find. On This Old House and other home improvement shows I've seen them use a steel benderboard that is thick, about 1/8", so it's strong yet still flexible. The other product is a recycled board like trex, 3/4-1" thick and notched on both ends so the joints can overlap. It's thick enough to be strong yet still bendable and won't rot.

I've tried to find both products using google but all I come across is manufacturer's websites with wholesale distributors, no place for retail sales. Does anyone out there know where I can buy these or other products similar to what I've described? Any landscape supply outlets in the LA area that carry more varieties and better quality products than the big box stores?

    usually the wholesaler can provide a list of retailers--did you try that angle?

    I have made some inquiries but no results yet, many of them I've found don't have phone numbers only email responses and response rate on that is hit and miss.

    I'll answer my own question for anyone who wants to know. I found 4" and 6" plastic benderboard that is about 5/8" thick by 20' long at Landscape Warehouse in Altadena. LW has several other locations in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley. It's a business that was started by a Latino gardener turned landscaper turned businessman and they cater to the Latino gardener/landscaper businesses. They carry mostly irrigation supplies, very nice people. I haven't found any other retail place that carries the wider 6" planks which is what I was interested in.
