Finishing up installation of our new Pindo Palm
Genie J.

We recently had a Bottle Tree dry up in the backyard and had to cut it down, which left a very open empty space behind our pool. Sun Valley Nursery is a hop skip from our house, so we stopped by after brunch a couple of Saturdays ago. Very pleasantly surprised at the huge selection of plants, flowers, all kinds of vegetation, large trees, palm trees...pretty much anything you could want in a pot or in the ground. I had a certain kind of palm tree in mind, but learned that it would grow to be too large for this space, which is when we found our Pindo Palm! I had never heard of this palm before, but it was unique and different from the numerous Mediterranean palms we already have. They scheduled installation about 2 weeks out, had it installed VERY fast, and provided excellent watering and care guidance along the way. We're 10 days out from our planting date, and it still looks beautiful! They even offered to receive pictures with any questions I might have to continue providing guidance and help if needed. Great service! Plus, it's just fun to walk through their location and be amongst all the trees and plants, watching the birds and bees do their job.

We went to The Green Goddess in search of a replacement for our old, ugly, cracked, oversized,…read morecalcium crusted , algae infested, splashing monster of a patio fountain. We found The Green Goddess website and they're nearby. I was dreading the whole thing, thinking we wouldn't find anything that would work. And then there's the whole take-it-out and make-the-new-one-fit-the-hole issues, what about the plumbing and pump and so on. Hubby is much more level-headed, so we went. Wow, the business is so much bigger than you can see from the street! Excellent selection. We wandered around, trying to find what we liked. Such an amazing variety of working fountains on site! We saw one that was perfect, a design that would eliminate the splashing and cleaning drama, and a better size for our space. But wrong color. Along came Sara Cervantes to assist. Good grief, she knows everything to know about this stuff! She walked us all around the grounds showing us pots that would work, and they could make it into a fountain. We made the selection, she had guys come with fork lift to load it up, we made quick decisions about installation date, and BOOM we were done. Got great advice on maintenance. The installers came on the chosen day, dismantled and removed the old monster, and did a beautiful installation job. All of the employees are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and nice. Couldn't be happier! Just go, already!

They have a lot to look at and choose from here, they have a little indoor area but most of the items are outside. My son especially loved the pond with the koi fish, the birds, and the chickens! I'm not super far from here so I'll have to come back next time I'm in need of anything for my own backyard! Or just if I want to hang out with some cool birds! The lady working here was nice and helpful as well!

We have been going to Whitfill for over 20 years now! What started out as Christmas tree shopping…read morewhen our boys were little has now turned into a yearly tradition that we hope one day they will continue with their own families. Not only do we go to them during the holidays but rely on them throughout the year when we need additional plants and trees for our backyard. We first started using Whitfill back in the early 2000's when they were on 40th street south of Roeser. We literally lived across the street from their nursery and when they moved to their current spot on Southern we followed! We have decades of photos with our boys standing next to the tree they choose for Christmas and the tradition continues now with our Sphynx cats! They used to have a peacock walking around but unfortunately he is no longer there. They are pet friendly and we are comfortable taking our cats there in the stroller. Not only are their prices and tree selections the best in town but their customer service and knowledge of anything tree related is vast! They know what they are doing and don't try to upsell or get you to buy unnecessary items. They are the real deal!

This location is driving me nuts with the lack of labels and prices. I'm often driving by and love…read moreto stop for plants, but its frustrating to wander and find plants you can't figure out what it is or what it costs. I shouldn't need to walk all the way back up front to ask -- and I've been giving the wrong information before anyhow. Its important to know what kind of plant you're buying for multiple reasons. The other Whitfill location (off Guadalupe and Cooper) doesn't have this issue. Overall I think the plants are pretty healthy but after having an issue with lack of labeling (on both the kind of plant and pricing), having been given the wrong plant info on a plant, and after having asked if they had Pink Fairy Duster and being sent off in a direction to wander and never find it on my own, I'm really over this location.

This is a horrible location! I live closer to and usually shop the Bell Rd/Tatum store, and that…read morelocation is spectacular. All the managers/employees, especially Manager Jason, are awesome there. Unfortunately they were out of the Midea portable floor AC unit I needed and had to go to the N Hayden location. I had purchased this unit from the Bell Rd Home Depot location on May 29th, 2026, and unfortunately it already died. I filed a claim with Midea, and provided them with all necessary documentation. After several days of review, they sent me a "Return Goods Authorization" (RGA) for a direct exchange at Home Depot. I originally went to the Bell Rd Home Depot, but they were sold out of the unit. They were very nice and called the Hayden location, who had the item in stock, and had them set it aside. I drove 25 minutes to the Hayden location and went to customer service with my form and unit. They had the new unit waiting. The customer service employee had never seen the form. I asked her to call a manager, as a manager should be familiar with this form and process. It took her about 20 minutes to locate the manager via phone. When she finally located the manager, Travis, she explained the situation to him. Travis never came to the Customer Service area in person, and on the phone, he just said that he would not exchange it. I told her he is wrong, I have all the documentation and he should at least come look at it because this is pre-approved through Midea and Home Depot. Travis refused to present himself in person, and they sent me packing, refusing to exchange. I hauled my merchandise back out to the parking lot and into my vehicle, and called the Home Depot customer service line. I explained the situation and the customer service representative was awesome and apologized regarding Travis. She asked for the case # and RGA# on my form and placed me on hold. She came back a short time later, apologized, and said go back in the store, that she spoke with Mr Travis, and they would exchange it like they were supposed to. She said I would probably see Travis back at customer service when I went back in. So I went back in, of course no Travis to be found, and they did exchange the unit like they should have. The employees were not overly friendly, but I understand they were following Travis' direction. Travis is a HORRIBLE representative for Home Depot and he represents the worst in customer service and not what Home Depot is known for. My guess would be this isn't their first issue with him. If you do have to shop this store, just hope you don't have to deal with Travis. Travis, at the minimum, you could've done your job. For me, I'll avoid the Hayden location and continue to shop the Tatum/Bell store as they represent everything great that Home Depot is known for!!!

Having seen this place many, many times when coming back down I-17 from my trips to Cave Creek…read more(ironically, nursery trips), I never seemed to have the time to stop in until recently. Additionally, it wasn't especially easy to get to, as you need to exit (if going Southbound) well before you can see it. If you drive past going Southbound, your options are going back Northbound to Dixileta and then taking the Southbound frontage road back toward Jomax, OR continue South and exit at Happy Valley, thereafter taking the surface streets (35th Ave.) North. The lacking highway infrastructure leaves something to be desired, and it's definitely not their fault, but that is honestly how I ended up taking this long to stop in, despite driving by numerous times. That out of the way, I definitely think it was worth stopping in, and was quite glad that I finally made the time. There is a fairly good selection of plants here, including cacti and succulents, but my draw is always the agave, one of my favorite plants to grow in our challenging climate. I'm always on the lookout for something I don't have, or something new or rare in the trade, as all manner of interesting hybrids and variegates have become increasingly popular in recent years. While the website mentioned a few varieties of interest to me, including A. deserti and A. utahensis, both of which I'd been in the market for, I wasn't able to find any. I did, however, come across some nice specimens of A. palmeri (why is this so hard to find in retail?) and A. montana (neither of which is on the website, so a nice surprise!). I already have the latter, but bought one as a gift for someone else, and grabbed a pair of the A. palmeri for myself. While fairly variable as a species, this particular selection of A. palmeri was exactly what I wanted, with beautiful bud imprints on the leaves and wicked marginal spines. Some other goodies I saw, which did not go home with me due to space considerations, included some very nice A. asperrima ssp. asperrima (A. scabra), A. 'Sharkskin' and, intriguingly, the not-so-common, typical form of A. lophantha. Plenty of places carry the 'spendida' and 'quadricolor' variety, but it has been a while since anyplace I've been had the typical variety, which grows much larger and seems to be a hardier plant. Another favorite that seems less common these days was A. zebra, which are always fantastic lookers, with their vicious marginal spines, twisted terminal spines and rigid, scabrous leaves. Additionally, they had some very nice, specimen sized A. tequilana. Another surprisingly not-so-common species. Last but certainly not least, I spotted another gem hiding in the corner somewhere. Unless my eyes deceive me, I'm pretty sure that was A. vivipara, sometimes confused with A. angustifolia. Definitely do not see those too often, so that was a nice Easter egg of sorts. Lastly, I must call out the lovely stand of bamboo they have here. Finding agave and bamboo in the same place is always a win-win while nursery hopping, at least for me. Near as I can tell, it was B. oldhamii, which seems to thrive even in our summers. With everyone as friendly and helpful as they were, and now that I know how to get to this place, I will definitely try to make it part of my regular rotation and stop by more regularly. If you're in the area and looking for some plants you might not find elsewhere, I highly recommend checking them out.

Local family business putting more plants into our area, hope they stick around for many more…read moreyears! Love Richard's Garden Center!! It's awesome seeing what their product can look like in the future, as they have planted trees in ground many years ago! I bought a tipu from there at the same time as another nursery (more expensive) and the Richard's tipu significantly outperformed!! I bought it two years ago and it's a HUGE tree now. Just the other day I received a call back as my Hong Kong orchid had all the leaves fall off, very patient/good advice (most importantly gave hope it's not gone). Thankfully I am already seeing new baby leaves!!
