“I wanted to support a local landscaping supply business, but my visit to Evergreen Supply was frustrating. While they carry a wide selection of soil, rocks, pavers, and other materials, customer service felt inconsistent and unhelpful at times - staff didn’t offer much guidance when I asked questions, and I was left waiting without clear answers, even though the yard wasn’t busy. The outdoor area also felt messy and disorganized, making it harder to find what I needed. Pricing isn’t clearly displayed, so I had to ask multiple times, which slowed down my visit. The location has potential, but my experience was more stressful than it should be, and I left disappointed rather than confident about future projects.”
“If I could do 10 stars! My older parents, upon the recommendation of their neighbors, decided to skip the big box store experience and instead went to Almaden Valley Nursery. The staff was incredibly patient with my dad, and very competitive from a pricing perspective. If you want a hometown feel, great plant knowledge and a wonderfully supportive experience, this is your place!”

Nurseries And Gardening
“A plant lover’s temptation zone –this nursery has a well-curated selection of outdoor plants and staff who are genuinely helpful. Spotting a rare Hoya felt like finding a green treasure. Of course, we ended up picking more plants than we could reasonably carry, and the staff kindly offered us a tray. Everything looked healthy and well cared for. And the fact that it’s an easy walk from our place? That’s both convenient and dangerously inviting.
Safe to say, we’ll be back for leafy additions soon.”
“They have everything from tarps and parts to build a custom canopy to tools and garden supplies. They have ALL of the name brand products for your specialty hydroponics and in soil gardens.”
“I had to get pavers and Thomas was helpful on locating the exact ones I needed and also mentioning the paver sand that I also needed for the project. He also helped me load onto the cart and onto my car which is a lot of work and I’m very thankful! Thanks Thomas!”
“Great local nursery. I've bought 3 multi-variety fruit trees for my backyard. Much better quality than the big box stores!!
Next summer I'll start harvesting 12 different kinds of fruit from my own yard.”
“I had an amazing experience at this non-profit nursery! The staff was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I found the perfect plant. They even assisted me in loading it into my car, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The quality of the plant is excellent, and it’s wonderful to support a place with such a positive mission. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this nursery to others!”
“Stopped by to get a gift for my friend's grand opening party of her new business. The space is kind of cramped but lots of options here - bamboos, orchids, money trees. They even had heart shaped bamboos! Lots of pot options. The money trees were either really big or really small at the time I went since they were sold out of others. I opted for a bamboo bundle which cost me $30 total for the bamboo and the pot. I think that's not bad. My friend loved it and when I came by her salon a couple weeks later, it looked great in her space. Still green and alive. Service was friendly. I took a while to decide what I wanted but the salesman was patient and helpful. I paid in cash. Saw the other lady who purchased a giant orchid pot also paid in cash, so I'm not sure if they accept card.”
“Michael G. was incredibly professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I needed, and we had a great conversation throughout the process. He truly made my experience at the Home Depot on Monterey & Curtner enjoyable.
The Customer Service Champion title on his apron is well deserved. Watching him help not only me but several other customers with the same level of professionalism and kindness says a lot about the person he is. Home Depot is lucky to have an employee like Michael, and I hope they recognize and appreciate everything he does. Five stars!”
“Today I went to home Depot and looked to get some tools and no idea to how managing my shopping plan
But one of the nice Special services helped me to get through and made easier my shopping,
Pooja helped me with patients and kindness
Appreciate you Pooja
Just keep doing ........
Thank your hard working”
“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!”
“I love this store, I'm here all the time and the employees are super friendly and helpful. I honestly enjoy every trip at this location because they are really good with their customers and ask you if you need help with anything! From looking for something to even checking out and making sure you found what you needed and you had a great experience! Most stores aren't like this so huge plus to Homedepot!”
“We liked this Home Depot. Of all the hardware stores we have shopped at in the last 40 years, we felt when we shopped there, this Home Depot ranked up there among the good ones for being well stcked, friendly helpful staff, ample safe parking, a pleasurable experience.”
“Armando at the paint department of The Home Depot is absolutely fantastic! His expertise and eye for color made a huge difference in helping us choose the perfect shade for our main door.
He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we got it right. You can tell he really knows his craft and cares about customers having a great outcome.
If you’re visiting for any paint-related needs, I highly recommend asking for Armando—you’ll be in the best hands!”
“Hello, I am Shahlla, a Home Depot Designer at the Hillsdale San Jose store. As a Designer, I am also a current (Home Depot sponsored) member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. My work background is in technology Program Management. I very much enjoy being a Home Depot Designer especially at this particular store. We have worked hard to make our store's Design department number one in sales and satisfaction in the South Bay region. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for remodeling or resurfacing design consultations. I would be more than happy to work with our Silicon Valley community.”
“Home Depot has FREE monthly kid workshops where you can make a certain project, the first Saturday of each month. On the website, it shows what craft will be done. We arrived around 915am and it was already packed with families. We were all sitting in the front of the store, like once you walk in. You check in and receive your craft kit. I didn't know what to expect and thought the class would be guided but it made sense that it wasn't since you can arrive at anytime. The kit had clear instructions and all necessary materials. Supplies were on the table such as a hammer, wood glue, paint brushes, etc. It took us about 15 - 20 minutes to finish the project, it was a great bonding experience. I would definitely come back for another cool craft. My only complaint would be is that they had us sitting on painter buckets that were upside down, not even with the lid on, so that was pretty uncomfortable!”
“Extremely helpful. Don't get ripped off by some rooter guys. Go here and rent an auger and do it for 1/4th of what so called professionals charge. Joe helped me out and deserves some paid vacation”
“This store is hidden behind a Best Buy. It’s easy to miss the almost secret entrance as the front of the building is only visible at the freeway but not the street. Came in for an iron and came out with an iron and countertop ironing board. I was in and out. Options were not much but I can always depend on this store for essentials.”
“Wonderful employees pretty much all the time. With all the local government allowances, 5150 transients living along the creek, tight location, heavy concentration of people in general with no room, basically.....crap they have to put up with....they handle it very well. Thanks for being there so close to our East San Jose homes HD.”
“Just visited the Home Depot in Cupertino. I couldn't find a particular item - it wasn't where the app says it would. The associate found it for me quickly, and even later did my self-checkout for me (I didn't ask - she just did it!)”
“I stopped off here on the way back home from a hike to pick up some batteries and some other stuff. They were very busy on a Saturday afternoon. I was not expecting it but the staff was super friendly and helpful...the two people who helped me find what I was looking for and the nice lady at the checkout. Well done team, keep it up!”
“wow, can't believe so many people came on a Sunday today....the busiest I have seen it (I usually go weekdays, and there is still a crowd). I was so happy to see passionfruit for $12.99! I got a starter passion fruit plant about 1ft tall, just to give my garden another passion fruit. YAY!!! Good price and good height. I cannot find this plant at this price at yamagami's or Summerwinds, so I am glad I went here today..
update July 2026: darn, so sad to see the passionfruit that was 12.99 in early June now 16.99!! what a bummer :(”
