“An essential stop when planting summer veggies. I appreciate being able to look up detailed information about each product on the website and then stop by and fill up a sack of compost/amendment/mulch. It's a quick trip, pay by the window as you exit. Excellent product too!”

“Always great help and good selection throughout. One of the absolute best in the Bay Area. I always trust that I’m going to end up with plants I love and understand how they will work with my yard.”

“Haas had a romantic and warm soul. Perfect spray for the funeral I am hosting. I feel very happy for my loved one, as a immigrant, he got such a beautiful flower spray from a 70+ old man. When I first come to the store, it is a bit dark, and does not not look as morden and beautiful as other florist store. After double check, I found that Haas store flowers inside fridges here and there. And the flower is amazing, I love the color tone, it is perfectly matched, white, but not all white, very elegant, shows his taste. Also, I did not image that he would use as much as 92 flowers for the spray, much more than he committed. During this sad time, I really feel the sincere caring from a professional florist. He may look casual, but is really an expert from 40+ years practice. Also, he stayed up late to deliver it on time. I find I trusted this right person. If you are new to spray and wreath, like I was, you can check with florist about the numbers of flowers, the dimension of the work, and the condition of raw flowers in the store to see if the color and freshness is as your expected. hope that works. I compared several store, Haas had the best offer, and he deliver more than he offered. I hope he can make more pictures for the flowers he had made, so that it helps customers understand his capabilities, rather than miss this hidden gem by the store decoration.”

“One of my favorite places to shop! Great gifts. Gorgeous fresh flowers. Staff will put together a beautiful bouquet for you while you wait. Such a great place to get someone a nice gift or to brighten up your own home.

If you're a gardener this place has a plethora of pots. Potting soils and fertilizers. Plant and flower selection is nice. Staff helpful and knowledgeable.

Mercedes and Juan are such a treasure. Such kind and wonderful people. Sylvia and Daniele as well as others always greet customers with a smile.”

“native plant section - Judy 5 stars
I believe I know all the outlets for native plant sources in the SF Bay Area. This one is always a rotation of fresh surprises and for myself. over time, a learning and experimentation experience. Along with Google as a source, Judy always has good insight and instincts WRT the parameters for native gardener interest - a plants: deer resistance, drought tolerance, lighting requirements, soil types etc. Prices here are also very competitive which one would not expect given the "Palo Alto" address.”

“Still family run and the best producing garden plants. They only put things out when it’s time to plant and take better care of their plants than any other nurseries we go to on the peninsula.”

“I had such a great experience here. Everyone at the nursery have been incredibly nice and helpful. I recently got my ZZ plant repotted and they did such a great job with it. Debra and Andy have been great to work with. I’ll definitely keep coming back here for all plant related needs.”

“Don’t let the location fool you. These guys know small motor equipment. They had the parts that I needed to repair my wood chipper. I had a good discussion about the design and issues with my model with the salesman. I’ve been here before and I’ll definitely come back in the future.”

“I have purchased over 40 orchids recently from Brookside. I am so impressed with their orchid health and quality. I recommend their orchids without reserve. I had them shipped to Florida. They wrapped each orchid carefully and lovingly. The orchids came larger and healthier then orchids I have received from other well known vendors. These people really care about the orchids and their customers. I couldn't say enough good things about Brookside. I actually ordered a second time and now own every orchid in their inventory. You wont be disappointed.”

“Took bid on Water heater replacement. The service rep was excellent with options and suggestions. Did not hire as I received several bids. $$$$ was the main, but I'm an HP member, shop here weekly .”

“Theft is horrible here. I feel terrible for those who work at this location. Home Depot needs to work with local authorities and also try out new techniques to discourage theft.”

“I recently visited the Walmart store in Union City and had a positive experience overall. The store is conveniently located and offers a wide variety of products, ranging from groceries to household essentials and electronics.

One thing that stood out to me was the cleanliness and organization of the store. Despite its size, everything seemed well-maintained and easy to navigate. The aisles were clearly marked, making it simple to find what I was looking for.

The staff were friendly and helpful, especially at the checkout counters where the lines moved quickly. I appreciated the efficient service and the overall pleasant atmosphere of the store.

However, one area that could be improved is the availability of certain items. While most products were well-stocked, there were a few instances where I couldn't find exactly what I needed.

Overall, my experience at the Walmart in Union City was positive. It's a convenient option for shopping, with a good selection of products and excellent customer service.”

“Came here to get blinds for our new home and associate Adriana was a HUGE help! She helped get our blinds and even labeled each one so it'll be easier to install. She also cut the ones we needed to have cut. She spent a lot of her time with us to ensure we had everything we needed. Great attitude, super friendly, and very hardworking! Made the trip to Home Depot very easy.”

“I had the best experience with sales/customer service person, 'Anthony'.Not only was he courteous and knowledgeable about a few items I needed , he knew the exact location and even walked me to them!THIS is the kind of service that is needed these days!I hope management recognizes this incredible young man on their team and when promotions are given, Anthony deserves two!I'll most definitely cut my Lowes card in half and be back to your store!Thanks Anthony!”

“Norman is a very helpful person please ask for him always. Make sure you give him the recognition that he deserves. Keep up the great work. He puts a smile on everyone’s face.”

“Had fury 4 clawed visitors in kitchen and backyard recently. Came here to get some snacks for them to chew on. Associates here were helpful. The self check out had associates ringing up sales. Didn't know that one can't tap pay terminal. It's either slide or insert card into slot. Pricing of the mouse snack (8.95) is standard thruout the industry as it's essential a duopoly between 2 big nationwide chain stores. The product was working as soon i placed it against a door corner. Didn't need to open package. Just bringing in jnto the house deterred the fury critters from visiting again. Coincidentally a female cat who "claims" our house is hers by defecating all over same was standing at our backdoor sliding door. No doubt she wants credit for our visitors vanishing. I know an opportunistic cat when i see 1.”

“I needed to pick up some fertilizer and other odds and ends for the old and new place transition. A hyper and friendly lady helped me out to pick some stuff. Really happy that I got the help I needed, this place is super big and packed mid day! haha. It's like the place to be for DIYer's like myself. Happy! Enso forever!

“Another Home Depot. While it looks like any other, it is also as hard to find someone for help. Eventually, one finds what is needed, but the experience would be much better if it took half of the time it takes. Generally, using the app to find where the product is located helps a lot though.”

“We are 2 years into a home remodel project. Not everything has gone ..... (cough !) smoothly. There have been a lot of ups n downs on this merry adventure of financial insecurity and anxiety. But ! Throughout all of our successes and some of our "oh shit ! " moments. Home Depot in San Mateo has been right along side us. They've never given us grief with a legitimate issue and they've always been polite , prompt and friendly. Todays Yelp is a direct result of an interaction that my wife and I had with Steve in the return department. He may not remember me but I remember him from several prior interactions with him over the last two years. Steve is polite , friendly , articulate and genuinely kind and helpful. We had made a serious mistake and bought a very expensive item that was essentially entirely useless to us once we discovered our blunder. I was so relieved to see Steve at the counter. He didn't make a big fuss about our return or ask a bunch of questions to force us to admit that we'd screwed up. (We did. ..) he didn't "oh I need a manager for this .." or act like we were doing something shady. (It seems to me that these days most retailers make the act of an exchange or a refund feel like you're committing retail fraud. It's icky out there folks !!!). Nope. Steve honored the spirit of Home Depot's policy and he helped us fix our blunder quickly and efficiently with a solution that was acceptable and let us feeling valued as a customer. Service like he delivered took away a touch of the angst and anxiety that I have been almost constantly feeling for two years. I might even sleep a little tonight. Thanks Steve !! I hope someone at Home Depot reads this and gives you a bonus or a raise. At the least a cookie !! I appreciated being treated like a human being.”

“I made the questionable decision to try to bring home 2 sheets of plywood in my Buick Enclave SUV. Angel is a "lot associate" who helped me wrangle them into my car. He was a complete DREAM, or rather an angel, and was super friendly and helpful as we tried to maximize the interior inches and eventually tied down the hatchback with twine. I have never felt so helped. This guy MADE MY NIGHT. Thank you, Angel!!”

“I was here for a scavenger for my youth group and the staff was very understanding and allowed it so that was nice. Other than that it is Home Depot and it has everything you would need and expect from a Hone Depot.”
