“Always come here when starting a project around the house. They almost always have what I need in stock, and the app makes it easy to find which aisle things are in. The self-checkout usually moves pretty fast too.
Took off a star because it can be really tough to track down an employee if you have a quick question or need something cut, especially on a weekend morning when it's busy. Once you do find someone though, they're usually helpful. Overall a reliable spot, just give yourself a little extra time if you need actual assistance.”
“Today , 3 guys showed up, minutes before the estimated time window, as planned, and were professional, we'll informed on the new plantings and removal of existing shrubs. We are so pleased; as with our previous experiences with Van Wilgen's throughout the years.”
“Great place. Bobby is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was able to answer every single question we had about the fish and plants. We purchased 2 fish, one butterfly koi and one goldfish. Unfortunately, one had died the next day with no explanation. I was devastated, so my boyfriend brought me back the next day to purchase another fish, but Bobby let us have another one since we lost our previous one.
Incredible service. Will definitely be back & will never go anywhere else.
Thank you!!”
“I was in a pinch and needed plant food, so I stopped at Bell Nurseries in Hamden. I was so impressed! Not only did they have an amazing variety of plants, but they also had so much more to offer. I saw a great selection of wind chimes, knickknacks, seeds, fertilizers, soil, and birdbaths.
The staff was incredibly helpful, especially compared to the big box stores. I ended up buying a metal stand birdbath, and I love watching the birds enjoy it every day.
I highly recommend checking this place out! It's also conveniently located just off I-91 at Exit 10 (first exit off the connector) or off Route 15 (Wilbur Cross Parkway) at exits 51 or 52 depending on your direction. It's not far from the highway either way and is definitely worth skipping the big box store for.”
“As someone who works in the trades this is a vital store for me. The employees are very knowledgeable about where items are. They always have sales going on, especially for my beloved Milwaukee and DeWalt tools.
I'm basically there once a month to stock up on drill bits, misc tools, drivers, and welding consumables, albeit airgas in North Haven has a much more selective supply of welding gear, but can become very pricy when all I need is some 7018 rods or new gloves.
Even there garden center is top notch.
You won't be disappointed. Great place to browse and spend money.”
“If you were looking for the best prices on vegetables, this spring, this is the place for you. This is my neighborhood store and I have been buying vegetables from Sisto for 15 years. Great service. Excellent value. Best prices on small vegetables plants around.”
“Yesterday was the first time we purchased our annual Christmas tree from them. All of their trees were perfectly shaped, full and fresh. And, the price was better than other retailers. This is by far the nicest tree we have ever found.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend Hamden Florist
I don’t live in Connecticut and needed to place an order from out of state, so I relied on Google to find a florist. I originally ordered from James Crest Florist, but unfortunately the flowers were never delivered and I was never contacted. When I followed up, I was told they could deliver another day or issue a full credit. I requested the full credit and am still waiting for it.
After that experience, I decided to Google another option and found Hamden Florist — and I’m so glad I did. From the first interaction, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The plant they delivered was absolutely beautiful — fresh, well-arranged, and exceeded my expectations.
As someone ordering from out of state, reliability and communication are everything, and Hamden Florist truly delivered on both. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent service and quality.”

Nurseries And Gardening
“The perennials, annuals, bushes, trees and indoor plants are all healthy and beautiful. I’ve been going to Paradise Nurseries for over 30 years and always happy with the quality, quantity and service. Support family owned businesses. Especially when they are as pleasant as this family.”
“They always have a large selection of trees, shrubs, bushes, etc. Brooke has always been very helpful. I'm sure everyone who works there is. I definitely recommend them.”
“Beautiful, fresh farm produce. Bought some field-grown tomatoes. Also some fresh figs- ate one in the parking lot before I left. Delicious. Got some Ciabatta bread and Italian plums. Associates are friendly and efficient. They have lots more too.7/23 Fruits of the Forest pie was Fresh and Delicious! Large tasty tomatoes, orange peppers, a large canteloupe and ripe peaches! Friendly associates too. Thank you- love this place...not to mention they have a huge selection of flowering and vegetable plants too.10/16 Great veggies- corn, tomatoes, red onion and apples today. Àpple pie çould use some cinamon / more flavor.”
“I had a very positive experience at this Walmart- all because of one of their customer service representatives, Jessica. I was fortunate enough to be transferred to her when I called for information regarding a chair I was trying to purchase. I needed to find out whether, if the chair wasn't right, it could be returned and at what cost. Jessica quickly point out that the chair I was trying to buy would not qualify for free returns but a basically identical one would be. I was especially impressed that- her own - she also offered me a discount code. I would have never been able to know what chair to buy and how to get the discount. People like Jessica are often the face of a store, and Jessica was a friendly, helpful and smiling one throughout. I'm very pleased and very grateful.”
“I had a return a gift I bought for Christmas. I was a little concerned because I bought it on Black Friday (over a month before) but there was no problem. It was fast and easy!”
“Paul and crew installed a fantastic system. The zones were set up for shady vs sunny so i could save water on those shady zones. Very happy with the outcome. Would recommend”
“Needed tools in a pinch. Came in hand. The saw chain broke and (although a quick fix) i didn't know how to fix so job took a bit longer than expected. I suggest to ask service agent to give a quick fix tutorial on common issues. The service tech was very polite and accommodating.”
“Had a problem with an online pickup order today. Shellac that was in a dented can in a pickup locker. Shannon the manager of the paint Department assisted me with my issue and went above and beyond. Talk about great customer service! Faith in customer service restored 1000%”
“Updated: Spoke with the assistant store manager and she came out and actually helped me herself including helping me load my car when she learned of my back surgery and changed that experience. I updated this review to a fight star.
Original:
Why advertise curbside pickup if the service isn't actually functional? I checked in for a curbside pickup order and sat in my car for over 25 minutes, only to discover no one was ever coming out. I had to go inside, explain the situation, and wait even longer while an associate was finally alerted to gather my items.
This is the only Home Depot location where I consistently run into curbside pickup failures. If a store doesn't have the staffing or system to support curbside service, they shouldn't offer it. It ends up taking twice as long as just walking in yourself.”
“This location takes very well care of the floral especially the out door. Everything was watered well and in bloom. All the perennials were in excellent condition.”
