Home Services reviews in San Diego, California

Great & helpful staff coupled with a good selection of plants suitable for the local plant fauna.

We had wonderful service by Lou. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He not only helped us get all the necessary supplies to plant the bushes we purchased but loaded everything in our car as well.

We have shopped for plants at this Armstrong location since they opened. This nursery is pleasant to stroll through - especially during the Spring when there are a huge amount of plants there. They have a large variety of plants to choose from and many of which can't be found elsewhere. The employees there are friendly and helpful and definitely know their plants. They also have a good selection of water fountains, pots and seasonal items such as Christmas decor. Definitely recommend Armstrong.

Great customer service, wonderful plants, and beautiful store. I’ve bought quite a few succulents and house plants there before and they have all been great and successful. The products are usually fairly priced as well.

I admit that I'm not a regular shopper at Armstrong but that's change now. Several years ago I brought a beautiful cherry blossom tree from Armstrong unfortunately, it didn't survive (but that is due to my lack of knowledge). Then just recently, I wanted any chance with the cherry blossom tree and inquire about their tree for life guarantee policy. I communicated with Luke and he was extremely helpful. The process was hassle free and he wanted to make sure that I was happy with my purchase. Luke has converted me to an Armstrong's regular shopper now. Thank you Luke!

This was my first time at this location. Their selection of succulents was large. There was a variety of sizes as well. It took me a long time to decide. There was no one around to help with questions but when I went to pay there were several employees at and near the register. ImThe location is near my home so I will probably be back. My husband had purchased a tomato plant here 2 months ago and it's thriving and producing a lot of fruit.

High prices but good service. If you're looking for a particular fruit tree that they dont have in the yard, you can ask them.to order it for you from one of their suppliers. Got a great cheyemoya from them this way. Got 2 seedling guava trees from this place. One ended up with good fruits, the other not so great. Replaced with a named variety.

This Garden Center is my go-to place when I want to look for decorative, large pots for my patio garden.
The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and available for answering questions. Their seasonal display is always pretty - and inspires ideas that translate well to my home garden.
Today I picked up some lovely Verbena for a space around our fountain; the red colour sizzles!
They have a great selection of Plumeria coming into bloom.

Thank Josh for being there for us. We had an amazing shopping trip at Armstrong because of Assistant Manager Josh. He knew so much about the plants we were looking into which made the experience VERY helpful. Josh also gave us valuable tips on shade only plants. Thank you for helping us, and we really appreciated it.

I always end up spending more time here than I mean to.. Great selection of every plant from potting flowers, herbs to trees of all kinds surround the store. Garden decor, tools and more sensitive plants are inside; they basically have everything you need to have a successful lawn or garden. The staff are always very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I'm on the return customer list 🙂

I love walking around this place. Some people like to walk in Target, this place is where I like to walk. One downside is that it's pretty expensive to buy things here, but not enough to make it less than a five star review. Oh, they also have pretty much anything you need for gardening. And their staff are very friendly and helpful.

Walking into Armstrong is like walking into a candy store for the eyes and the heart!

I bought a fig tree here in Feb 2021. In April 2022, only rootstock woke up from winter and scion was dead. Armstrong Garden Centers give lifetime warranty for their fruit trees, so I returned it back for full refund. Other nurseries give only 1 year. I recommend them. They have a good selection of fruit trees and vegetables as well as seeds. The prices for those are reasonable when compared with home centers. As shown above, they have excellent customer service and are very nice people in general.

Went in with a dying old plant and left with the same plant that is doing well a few weeks later. Alice was awesome! Some of the plants are pricey, but they are really nice and healthy. There are plenty of cheaper ones, and everything in between. What a great place!

The plants are beautiful and healthy. They employees are kind and helpful. And there's just a beautiful array of things to look at.

Amazing friendly and knowledgeable staff. The woman at the register instructed me in my lady bug purchase and how and when best to release them for maximum benefit for my fruit trees with aphids.

I was finally able to get an agave blue glow here. I've been all over the place looking for it, and no one else had it. Plus, this place is so pretty that it's just nice to wander around and look at everything.

Giovanni did it again! I called and spoke with Giovanni today and I was looking to replace my annuals. I asked what he would recommend to replace my impatiens, and he suggested mums, pansies, and vincas for fall. My favorite is impatiens, so I asked if he had any in stock and colors available. He said red, white, orange and a mixture of different colors. I requested him to save the red and white in full flats for me so I could swing by before they close. He said no problem. Upon arrival at the store I asked Giovanni, and to my surprised the red and white impatiens were already on the cart ready to go. I ended buying both colors in full flats and organic top soil as well. He also helped me load the stuff onto my vehicle. I mentioned to him that I would need to replace my fountain soon and he said that they would be on sale late spring and that he would let me know. Another great customer service 👍 👏 from the same guy who helped me when I had a problem with my trumpeter rose tree. Giovanni is such a pleasure to work with coupled with great can-do attitude and professionalism. A great asset to Armstrong Garden Center in Penasquitos. Thank you very much for all that you do, Giovanni. I truly appreciate you! You are the best 👌!

We recently purchased some plants at your facility. Our helper was Liz, who also teaches plant classes. She was, by far and away, the most professional, knowledgeable and courteous person we have ever encountered!!! Absolutely superb in all respects. Thank you!!

Not very friendly. Nor were the workers willing to go out of their wasvto search or look. I asked one of the female workers where the hanging succulents were and she waved her hand and said oh they are out there. I asked if they had hanging “bunches of sticks“. She said oh if we have any they would be by the succulents. I asked if. i could order a plant she said i would have call every week or month to see it the plant i wanted was available to order- notva great visit. I had 10 air plants i was going to purchase but after talking to her, i changed my mind.

Amazing plants, healthy and robust. Nice selection of seasonal plants. Employees were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
