Nurseries & Gardening in Lakewood, CA

“Great place to find new plants and get supplies. It gets busy on weekends but the lines go by quickly and there's so much space, who can complain? All employees are helpful and regular customers are helpful and sociable about plants. Amazing selection here, some highlights have been the mushroom plant and aloe ferox as well as black calla lilies. Their prices are great! All the carts work well and everything is placed intuitively. If you call and ask about a product, they call back to let you know it's in stock.”

“Home Depot is hands down my favored store of all time. And let’s be honest there’s not a bunch of Harvard graduates working there. As as soon as the CAT knives showed up on the Home Depot site I inquired with one of the sales associates and she replied “ kitty cat” Of course I was referring to the CAT - Caterpillar- heavy equipment operator company But they don’t carry the stores so I understand for her it’s not part of her required curriculum. I was looking for a replacement bulb for a lava lamp which are specialty bulbs ( of course they have to heat to a precise degrees or they ruin the substance inside the lava lamp) And the sale aaaociate, looked at me all confused Then said “ really your supposed to use a special kind of bulb, I guess that’s why all the floor models of the lava lamps got ruined right after I changed the bulbs” And at the moment he was trying to help me find the bulb I needed The blind leading the blind I worked at harbor freight when I was 19 Not only did I memorize every single sku number of every item we carried I taught myself how to use every last one. And do construction to this day and I’m 43 I loved my job and was always very knowledgeable about everything we sold. There’s maybe two employees in every store that actually feels that way about customer service and it’s super lame because sometimes u do need assistance Even worse when u need something like materials for a job u don’t want to run into a guy who’s trying yo “ fake it till he make it” If u get materials u need to have cut for your order and prepared before u leave by the time u get back ti the job And find out the size is wrong u have lost time that could make or break that job and customer I still give it 5 stars because of inventory and my overall need for brands like Milwaukee and channel lock that lame Lowe’s doesn’t carry and that’s the only other option we would have”

“Great store... very helpful and friendly staff. It's not their fault they're under staffed. I had to wait almost an hour for assistance in the plumbing department, but when Jesse the young man that did assist me... he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.. poor guy had like 8 customers waiting for assistance, and that was only in the plumbing department. Home Depot really needs to do better and add more staff, you figure since they don't have cashiers anymore... they could! That would truly create a harmonious environment between employees and customers.. employees won't be spread so thin and customers won't have to wait "FOREVER" to be serviced.”

“All Home Depots are not alike. There are some good ones and bad ones. Some of them more organized than the others. Some of them better staffed than others. It is just a job but some people actually care about their job. This Home Depot checked all the boxes for a good one. Well organized staff was very knowledgeable and welcoming check out process very easy online order easy to pick up. And accurate.”
