Soil
Lilian W.

Home Depot's nursery section is a fantastic place to shop for plants, with knowledgeable and friendly staff who are always willing to help. The selection is excellent, with beautiful shrubs, herbs, and flowers that are in full bloom. Everything looked well-maintained and thriving, making it a great spot for gardeners of all levels. Right now, they have great deals on ever-bearing strawberries--$3.88 for a six-pack (normally $5.98). Their garden performance plants come primarily from the Burpee brand, which is known for quality. The pot and planter selection is also extensive, though not necessarily the cheapest. However, if you're looking for soil, this is a great place to buy. The Miracle-Gro garden soil deal of 3 for $10 is better than what I've seen at other stores. On a Friday afternoon, the store was busy, and the checkout lines were long, but the efficiency of the staff helped keep things moving. There's plenty of parking available, though the lot itself didn't feel the safest. I noticed groups of people--likely construction workers looking for gigs--wandering around, along with some unhoused individuals near the area. While this didn't directly affect my experience, it's something to be aware of if you're shopping here alone or at night.

Employees are friendly and will help you look for the item you need! Good selection. Garden section is cute.

My tree all assembled so easy and waiting for the ornaments.

I went in last night to buy a Christmas tree that was on sale. There were none on the floor of that model. So I asked an associate, Angel, if they were out of them. He went to the floor and there were none to be found...then he went to aisle five and looked on the high stacked ones for it...none there. Then he went out in the garden area and found some on a pallet. This very happy customer walked out with the Christmas tree I wanted and very impressed with the customer service from Angel !

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. None of the staff wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing some stuff from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is fricken huge. Some spots are smaller than others so be careful where you park. Store & Staff: The store itself is very neat, clean, tidy, and organized. The staff here are very kind, friendly, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Fernando D. "Manager"

I went to the Home Depot at 9700 Lower Azusa Rd, El Monte, CA to buy a tool that was clearly priced on the rack, but manager Fernando D refused to sell it to me at that price. When I asked why, he wouldn't give an answer and instead refused me service and told me to leave the store. He kept threatening to call the police but never did -- because there was no reason to. I stayed calm and respectful the entire time. At the end, he even said, "It's fine, I'll wait until I close and you can't buy anything." This was unprofessional, discriminatory, and humiliating. No customer deserves to be treated this way. I hope Home Depot reviews this incident seriously and holds this manager accountable.

David C.

What can I say. They're there when I need something and they are fairly organized and pleasant. Their app helps with the lack of service, but sometimes it's easier with technology than finding someone.

I was looking for a door stop to prevent the door hitting the kitchen counter, and was only able to find it here. Using the Yelp application, it lead me a roundabout way to get to the store that is on Santa Anita, but road construction and traffic does not allow you to turn in from the southbound side of the avenue.

I explained & he said "we don't sell Craftsman, go to Home Depot!" . Never mind that I bought the set at ACE, perhaps something changed or this particular store doesn't have or doesn't like to honor warranties, or the attendants just don't appreciate their jobs or customers. I called Lowe's Covina & Edgar in Tools said "craftsman are guaranteed for life, bring it in & we'll swap it...but please give me the size & I'll make sure we have it in stock". 25 minutes later I walked out of Lowe's with a brand new replacement wrench. We're told to buy local and that ACE has better service than "big box stores". Unfortunately that is not true. I wish Max's Hardware only the best, but I will NEVER return to this store and will cancel my ACE discount/rewards card membership.

Before bringing it in, I asked the cashier if it was okay since I was only going to be inside for a few minutes to purchase a few items. The cashier said it was fine. A few minutes later, the store manager, who I believe is named Evan, came through the store yelling, "Whose e-bike is that?" in front of other customers. Instead of speaking to me professionally, she immediately became confrontational. I calmly explained that I only needed a few minutes to finish my purchase, but she responded by insulting me and using profanity. I'm an adult, a paying customer, and a regular shopper at this location. There was no reason for the situation to be handled with shouting and disrespect. If there was a store policy, it could have been explained politely instead of creating a scene. I reported the incident to corporate, but because this location is independently franchised, they were unable to resolve the issue. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this store while this manager is in charge. Customers deserve professionalism and respect, not public embarrassment over a situation that could have been handled with a simple conversation. Ty

Two registers open, one with some perpetual return, no acknowledgment from the staff as two people tried to navigate the register. Unsure what queue to stand in, ended up doing the courteous thing and waiting behind someone else... Only to have other customers just walk up to the other registers, and despite the cashier making eye contact with me, gave me the virtual, screw you by ignoring me and waiting on other people who clearly cut me off in line. It's too bad, the store is really convenient to me, and I came here for lots of stuff. Corporate doesn't give a sh*t, because they seem to understand I'll just go to the Pasadena or the Covina stores ... funny thing about that? The staff at each of those stores is A+. But this place is off the rotation. In the world where nobody seems to want to work anymore, and customer service is dead, it wouldn't cost management too much time or resources to train your front end people on how to close the deal. Keep it up, and Vallarta supermarket that's going in as an anchor tenant will end up with a new neighbor across the parking lot.
