Nurseries & Gardening in Oakland, CA

“My all-time favorite plant store!! From the second you walk in you get the coziest vibe. The staff are all knowledgeable and so friendly and helpful and the selection of plants is amazing. Plus love all the Studio Ghibli merch. Oh and also love that it’s not just a shop but a community-oriented space too!”

“I made 3 keys at Home Depot, but don’t work. Cole hardware stuff found it issue, and made a key works.The original key is little bent , they can help made a copy key even the original is bent !”

“It’s such a vibe …perfect place for a mother to listen for my next plant babies to whisper to me?. Also everyone is very knowledgeable and attentive. The plants are priced reasonably and are quality plants”

“Flowers were not delivered and delayed, but Robin at J Miller made sure my delivery for my daughter's birthday were taken with their delivery person on a Sunday. They are beautiful and the special service shows the care taken at J Miller!! Thank you all!”

“Last week, I purchased a pizza slicer from another store, but it broke when I attempted to use it. I came to Laurel Ace to get a replacement because I know that its products are sturdy.

Marcos, the associate who assisted me, not only directed me to the proper aisle, but, to my surprise and gratification, TESTED the slicer to make sure that it would hold up! As if this wasn't enough, I also told me that I could bring it back if I had any problems.

I ALWAYS get great service at my neighborhood Ace, but young Marcos is among the BEST associates who I've ever been blessed to deal with. You can NEVER lose by going to Laurel Ace, particularly if he assists you.”

“I had a wonderful time exploring this place that is packed with plants in every corner! It was great to take the time to see everything to my heart’s desire. Such a healing place, plants are wonderful energy. People were very helpful and courteous. There’s a sale going on as well (not sure how long it will last).”

“Wish I could give them 10 stars! And I wish I had known about them sooner instead of shopping at Home Depot for my landscaping supplies.I just discovered them from a recycling forum I am in. And although they don't sell recycled gravel - their prices and selection of the new gravel can't be beat. Plus they allow you to take a few samples for free so you can take home to see if the color and size works. This alone is better customer service that you can at Home Depot. But it gets ever better.Most of their staff is EXCEPTIONAL. I say most because there was a BIG difference in the staff at the counter in the morning versus the afternoon staff. Go in the afternoon and ask for Joe H or Feylin. Feylin was especially helpful because I was first time customer and was a bit overwhelmed initially and needed information to make my decision. Joe provided the back up when I came back later to place my order. The morning crew - maybe because it was 6:30am - was more like the staff at Home Depot.But what really motivated me to write this review was because of the service I received from Keith who packed 28 bags of gravel for me. First, Keith agreed to do it near the end of this shift after working a long day. He was so pleasant and nice while packing these heavy bags in my carTo see how hard he was working - and once again with such a wonderful attitude - is type of customer that is practically non existent at similar companies. I asked to speak to his manager, Lalo to tell him how impressed I was with KeithI was shocked that Keith and many of the other staff prefer to fill the bags of gravel by hand instead of using automated equipment. I hope Bee Green gives all the physical labor staff a gift certificate every month to get a full body massage!Loving the gravel I put in my driveway and outside my she shed.”

“I normally don't order my plants online but I took a chance and I can say it was the best choice I ever made. I have always been fascinated with dieffenbachia, i have different variations of dieffenbachia but always wanted a reflector. I discovered Crimson Horticulture Rarities on YouTube and I can honestly say I'm impressed wowed and in awe. I live in Cleveland Ohio and will be ordering more in the future. If you have never stopped in or if you are hesitant on buying your plants online stop hesitating and order from here.”

“Apparently wine barrels are in short supply. I haven't been able to find them nearby. Found this gentlemen on google maps. Ordered 2 barrels and Chet delivered them a couple of days later. Thank you Chet.”

“This place is a fruit tree lovers paradise. I can get lost for hours browsing their inventory, which I must say is "A LOT"! From tropicals, sub tropicals and everything in between. They do carry more than fruit trees, so check out their website for any other interest. Prices are great for what selections and varieties they offer.Last, but not least. I received great customer service from Yeni. She was really cool and went out of her way to help me out. Thanks again!! Hope to see you guys in the spring or summer when everything is in bloom.”

“Bueno que yo vuelo canción está en Alameda este On Depot ni no muchas personas en línea rapidito adentro para afuera bien amables los trabajadores bien trabajadores bien excelente servició”

“The staff at this location is generally friendly HELPFUL and knowledgeable .... While the lady at the key cutting machine didn't know for sure where I would find a trailer hitch lock... she sent me to the section with all the locks ... Where I found the lock I needed. Check out however was a pain in the butt ... only one register open along with the four self check out lanes none of which accepted cash and thereby sat empty. The only open register had 5 people with large orders at it .. I went to garden and checked out with virtually no wait as the only client there was finishing his transaction as I walked up.”
