“Don’t let the location fool you. These guys know small motor equipment. They had the parts that I needed to repair my wood chipper. I had a good discussion about the design and issues with my model with the salesman. I’ve been here before and I’ll definitely come back in the future.”

“Lino is truly an outstanding employee. I purchased a large amount of wood that needed to be cut. Not only was he quick and efficient but he also provided excellent quality with his cuts. They were spot on accurate.If you ever need wood cut with perfect accuracy and amazing efficiency, Lino is your guy.”

“From the outside this place looks super tiny. I was pleasantly surprised to find that was not even close to the case... Went for a walk to Bobbi's for breakfast with my man and we decided to walk a few extra steps into Yamagami's Garden Center. This place is H-U-G-E! They have an indoor area filled with indoor plants and fertilizers, macrame pot holders, watering cans, hand drawn cards, and such. You walk through the inside and are greeted by a friendly lady and a nice garden cat. Once through the building you enter a huge outside area located behind the shop filled with water fixtures, benches, trees, succulents, flowers, pots, and an information center. Inside the information center there is a nice person who can help you with answers to your most burning questions, such as, "What is the meaning of life?" (Well, okay, I'm kidding about that question), but I am sure they can help you with questions about plants. ;) If you are into gardening this is definitely a must check out location. Friendly staff, large selection, nice cat, reasonable prices, and locally owned and operated!”

“We had the BEST EXPERIENCE at Home Depot when we went to buy a Christmas tree today. The entire staff was kind, helpful and could not have done more to make it a fast, easy and fun to buy a tree and take it home. Thank you Lunchtime crew; Great Job!”

“I recently discovered this garden center and I'm so glad I did! The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful, and the selection of plants and flowers is incredible. The selection of plants and flowers is impressive, and the staff is always willing to offer advice and guidance.”

“Nice garden shop, you can tell they care. Many employees around asking if help is needed, also found some handy yard sticks placed throughout to the potting area to help make sure you're getting the right fit!”

“Extraordinary service. Mercedes, Juan and their team are the best. If you want beautiful orchid arrangements this is the best choice in the Bay Area. They also have fresh flowers, plants and wonderful seasonal gifts. A treasure trove.”

“I have been to a lot of nurseries and plant shops but Leafy by far has the biggest selection of Houseplants I have seen to date. I also find it interesting how it is located inside a shopping mall.The shop itself is aesthetically pleasing and offer not only a wide variety of plants but accessories to compliment them. I was able to take home 2 plants and the employee was kind enough to wrap them for me.The reason I can't give it a 5/5 is because some of the plants looked overwatered to me or not in the best condition. Not sure if this is because its in such a high traffic area or they got damaged in shipping, etc. I also saw a few gnats flying around so it worries me if some of the plants have bugs or will be prone to be infected by bugs, making me think they might not last long. They also had a variety of rare houseplants but they were extremely overpriced. I'm talking 200+ for a Thai constellation....again since they're in a shopping mall then I guess it makes sense to price everything higher due to the space they have to rent out but definitely don't think it's worth that much now a days. If you want a rare houseplant, I think you'll get a better price somewhere else.”

“I brought in my electric lawnmower for some work today. The team was very knowledgeable, friendly and did the work on the spot. This is now my go to place for power equipment. Couldn't be more pleased.”

“Summer Winds is a local treasure, if you have not been there you are missing out! they have a great selection of indoor and outdoor plants and flowers, and the staff is always very friendly. I definitely recommend and love supporting local businesses instead of you know who...Highly recommend!”

“Still family run and the best producing garden plants. They only put things out when it’s time to plant and take better care of their plants than any other nurseries we go to on the peninsula.”

“Shear Therapy is a wonderful place to get your hair cut and colored! The salon is very cozy and comfortable. They always offer coffee, tea or water when I am getting my hair done. It's a nice place to relax during your appointment. I have been going to Elizabeth for the past few years and she has done a fabulous job with my hair color and cut. She is very friendly, easy to talk to and I completely trust her with my hair! She listens to my concerns always gives me her honest opinions. She runs on time and never has to cancel or change appointments! My daughter has gotten her hair cut and colored by her too. She was also very happy with the results! I would 100% recommend Liz for a hair cut and color. I was also a very lucky customer to win a Holiday raffle this past year! The basket was filled with so many amazing products for my hair and skin. I am looking forward to trying some new things and helping out my beauty regime! Thank you Stephanie for the amazing gift basket - I am very grateful!”

“This location has a nice selection of plants, I've gotten a philodendron congo from them that grew fine. I also got a fuzzy petiole philodendron from them a while back that was infested with thrips. I brought it home and after a few days you could see all of them crawling over the leaves. I'm glad I quarantined it! After a month of fighting the thrips to no avail, I returned the plant. I'm glad they have a lifetime return policy, but make sure you check the plants carefully (or quarantine them!) before you bring any home.”

“Haas had a romantic and warm soul. Perfect spray for the funeral I am hosting. I feel very happy for my loved one, as a immigrant, he got such a beautiful flower spray from a 70+ old man. When I first come to the store, it is a bit dark, and does not not look as morden and beautiful as other florist store. After double check, I found that Haas store flowers inside fridges here and there. And the flower is amazing, I love the color tone, it is perfectly matched, white, but not all white, very elegant, shows his taste. Also, I did not image that he would use as much as 92 flowers for the spray, much more than he committed. During this sad time, I really feel the sincere caring from a professional florist. He may look casual, but is really an expert from 40+ years practice. Also, he stayed up late to deliver it on time. I find I trusted this right person. If you are new to spray and wreath, like I was, you can check with florist about the numbers of flowers, the dimension of the work, and the condition of raw flowers in the store to see if the color and freshness is as your expected. hope that works. I compared several store, Haas had the best offer, and he deliver more than he offered. I hope he can make more pictures for the flowers he had made, so that it helps customers understand his capabilities, rather than miss this hidden gem by the store decoration.”

“I've never ordered orchids online before, but I live in a place where we can't get good orchids. Brookside Orchids did such an amazing job, that I won't hesitate to order from them again. The orchids were amazingly well packed, so carefully wrapped, and in beautiful condition when they arrived several days later. These are healthy, large orchids, that bloomed within days/weeks of arrival and have continued to bloom for months. Just gorgeous, and so vigorous! Thank you!”

“I wish that they had apple pay--at this point I forget that some stores still don't and showed up with just my phone to get a couple keys made. It turned what should have been a quick trip into a quite the saga, but Leila in customer service was incredibly helpful in navigating everything!”

“I would like to thank Appliance Specialists Thomas Bailey who spent much time trying to get us the deals advised on the store tag, but not in the computer system when actual purchase took place. Thanks for your patients and persistence! This is the best customer service I have got at Home Depot!”

“Finally found a kumquat tree at this Home Depot. When asking the cashier (whose name is "Tawheed" on the receipt) for a bag, he told me to literally go to the Garden Center, which was closed, and get it MYSELF from behind the cashier desk. The audacity... considering I'm on a boot and disabled, using a scooter cart.Meanwhile, Lei, hears him and offered to go get it for me. She was more than accommodating and has provided an excellent level of Customer Support/Care. She deserved a 5-Star!However the most I can give is a 4-Star, due to her colleague who couldn't have cared less. He should be ashamed of being lazy and showing up to work. Stay home next time with withcha rude self (Tawheed)!”

“The store is conveniently located right off 680 and 880. I am so new and never have to deal with paintings, thankfully, I was able to assist it by this staff of thêm and he was super helpful and patient giving me advice to get the right color that I need and helped me match it as closed as possible, Thank you Roman”

“I want to give a massive thanks to Andrew in the plumbing department for stepping forward and helping me out with cutting some pipe I had bought at this location. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.Other than Andrew, my experience with this location was very poor. I called ahead of time to ask if there was someone working today who knew how to operate the pipe cutter. The employee had the worst attitude and knew nothing about the store or what products were available. He sounded incredibly bored and gave me more dramatic sighs than actual answers.When I arrived and was asking around for help, the employees were extremely unprofessional and dismissive. There were a couple huddled around making jokes about their genitals and acted as if I was interrupting when I asked for help. Nobody even knew the location had a pipe cutter. Fortunately Andrew walked by right at that moment to help another customer and I was able to ask him for help.”

“I have been there several times for quick online purchase pickups but yesterday I needed some help and the team were very helpful and friendly. One of them is Tom who helped me find what I need and picked the right one among dozen options”

“A big shout out to Duke Debanies and Vill Sanft for tending to our last minute hunt for a uhaul truck at 7pm. We cannot thank them enough for 1. Responding to our call 2. Accommodating us, by providing a sizable truck to load 40 containers for the Maui Relief delivery for our Morning flight. 3. Going out of their way to see what was most convenient for us by contacting nearby stores for similar truck 4. and Just for their professionalism and accommodation as it was more than we anticipated.Thank you Thank you Thank you. You both are our living angels here on earth. Thank you Store #6603.Mahalo and thank you for the love for Lahaina.”

“From going to one Homedepot to another their customer service remains consistent because every employee has greeted me and asked if I needed help! They have a huge selection for all your needs! The prices are great and sometimes they have unbeatable deals!”

“Ivan at the paint department was extremely helpful. Top tier customer service. If I was his management I'd either promote or give him a raise. He knows his work and is patient. The fact that I'm even doing a review on Home Depot shows how impressed I was with his service. Thank you Ivan you made my week!!!”

“First time visiting this branch since we have a Home Depot in Milpitas and I must say: great service, have everything you expect from a home depot and not as busy as the one in Milpitas.We came in because my wife ordered bags of play sand for my son's sandbox. She said she asked for help from a female employee but she was in a bit of a mood.Joe (or Joey) on the other hand, helped bring the sand bags in a cart to her and also helped ring us up on the cashier to buy additional items.What I noticed was that he was very professional, attentive and showed great customer service. He asked multiple times if we needed help bringing it to our car and just had a smile the whole time.We will be back for Christmas decoration shopping because of their great selection.”

“Been coming here for years. Service used to be horrible but it's definitely improved over the years. A little shortness doesn't bother me anyway. It's a hardware store, not Saks...Wish they had a better selection of plants but it's still serviceable.”

“I needed to pick up some fertilizer and other odds and ends for the old and new place transition. A hyper and friendly lady helped me out to pick some stuff. Really happy that I got the help I needed, this place is super big and packed mid day! haha. It's like the place to be for DIYer's like myself. Happy! Enso forever!

“Connor, my man. I had been on hold for over an hour trying to call different locations trying to get a hold of a appliance specialist to answer a question I had about the refrigerator water line hook up and either no one would answer, they kept transferring me, or they hung up on me until Connor. He actually answers the phone when someone calls, is knowledgeable, and answered my question. I appreciate him and you, Home Depot, should think about giving him a raise, since he is the only person in the 4 different stores that I called who is actually doing his job in regards to customer service. Thanks Connor.”

“Took bid on Water heater replacement. The service rep was excellent with options and suggestions. Did not hire as I received several bids. $$$$ was the main, but I'm an HP member, shop here weekly .”
