Landscaping reviews in San Francisco, California
-
If you're looking for gardening supplies then head on over to Sloat Garden Center. They carry a decent variety of indoor and outdoor plants, and they also have an endless amount of pots to choose from. The succulents came in larger pots than what I was looking for but it would be great for those looking to landscape their front or back yard.
Overall the prices may be slightly higher but the quality exceeds what you would find at your local big boxed retailer. It's a great one stop shop for all your gardening needs. They also have a decent sized parking lot right outside which is quite helpful when you are trying to load up your car! -
Circling for parking, lines daily, crowded, and molasses-slow cashier service, but WOW is there a large selection. Prices of the non-plant inventory might make you cry and run away... Alas, I was tired of going 30-50 miles to find the perfect plant or seed. When I finally caved in after nine years of living near it, I spent an hour just looking, and watched the kind staff greeting at the door, running assist anyone with heavy items, answering questions in detail. Very clean and well organized inventory with category signage. Still... Pricey and slow. Four stars it is!

I love Sloat, they always have an excellent selection of healthy plants and cute pots. However, the two employees I interacted with today were bizarrely rude and brisk. I wish Sloat would hire people who can at least maintain the facade of friendly customer service. The interaction put a damper on an otherwise lovely shopping experience.

This is a very nice garden center -- much better than the big chain garden centers. Some things are a bit pricey but it's always a pleasure to visit. The staff is friendly and there is a decent selection of seeds.
Most importantly: The saffron bulbs we bought from here last year are FLOWERING, whereas bulbs bought from other sources have not flowered for the 3+ years we've had them.
We got a couple reasonably-priced tomatoes which are doing rather well OUTSIDE in the cold foggy SF coast! -
Consistently great and friendly workers will identify pests, answer plant care questions, and help select appropriate plants. I primarily go for succulents (large variety), potting soil, fertilizer, pest control, and modest pots, all of which are reasonably priced. (The houseplants seem pricy, though look particularly healthy.)

My first review. I live within walking distance from this nursery, so, it’s convenient to buy some of my houseplants and soil from them. But I must say the price is rather high for houseplants and the collection is just OK. I didn’t see (at least the few times I was there), many of the houseplants I saw on Etsy. So I sometimes bought rare houseplants and succulents I saw on Etsy that nursery doesn’t have. Staff are ok here, could be friendlier. The one time staff being friendly and kind was when I bought couple bags of soils - the man helped loaded the soils into my trunk. Thank you! I only wish the prices are bit lower and they have more variety in houseplant.

Best place to go for garden plants,pots,indoor plants etc! They have it all. Never leave there empty handed! Love this place! Just bought 2 wind chimes plus cute decorated pumpkins with plants inside. Cute gifts or for your self!

For health reasons I decided to take up the earthy hobby of gardening. Unfortunately, one of my not so dwarf citrus trees died after many years and they helped me to confirm what I was denying. In search of a replacement in addition to other seeds, seedlings, companion plants, bee and butterfly attractants, etc... I came here.
In addition to letting me down easy... They helped me find the jasmine I was searching for and discussed the different varieties to help me determine what would be best in my garden. They have a Dutch Auction sale coming up that I am hoping to attend.
In addition to the variety of gardening goods... They have classes! They have family activities! With membership (free) most classes are free unless you need materials you will take home. I am trying to take my kids to the Create A Fairy Garden one but have to balance a Birthday month of activities. I am working up the courage to attend the Bonzai class and see if that can be resuscitated next... Good thing all my recent plantings seem to be doing well. -
I went looking for some indoor plants that could survive my SF apartment and ended up at Sloat Garden center. They have a great selection of both indoor and outdoor plants as well as all the pots, soil and garden gnomes you could want. There selection is good and staff is very friendly in helping pick out the right plants. They also have a parking lot out front which makes loading up plants much easier. Although some of their larger plants were more expensive than I expected., the quality was good and so far everything has been thriving. Definitely recommend.

A bit on the pricey side but the quality is hard to beat. Always inspiring to stop by and browse all their plants. Plus, surprisingly their glazed pots are actually a pretty good deal and come in a great mix of colors
-
Love the place,I usually go to the nursery elsewhere, but after working in the field, they got lots of variety to choose from, have 1 cu ft bags of all soils types
-
Fantastic place. I've been coming here since I was a toddler in the 90s with my family and now I come to eat mushrooms in the outdoor garden and talk with the trees. It's really productive and meditating to come in and relate with the plants, man. I came in recently to buy some soil, plants and pots for my new garden. The staff where really nice and didn't seem to mind that I was tripping in their garden. I'll be sad when this place closes though :(

The Sloat Garden Center has a nice variety of flowers, plants, pots, and accessories. There are a lot of helpful staff around. I went there during a sale which was worth going to. I also used a coupon that they sent to me. They have a parking lot and there is good enough parking around the area too.

An exciting place. All is well stocked with everything native and otherwise. Indoor and outdoor plants. Green decorative plants as well as variety for the veggie garden. Knowledgeable and courteous staff. I love going here. I purchased some bulbs for fall planting, native perennials for my community garden plot, and some seed starter soil.
-
Local garden center with pretty much everything you'll need for indoor and outdoor gardening. Has a limited selection of rare houseplants that cycles somewhat frequently
-
Come here to check out their local full stock of seeds, California native plants, and seasonal blooms. I’m always around at least once a month and love their rewards program. There’s so much variety that I’m often there for over an hour or two just picking out my favorites and googling care tips for the plants I like.
-
Beautiful flowers, plants, planters, and all the soils, and feeders you need for your garden; indoor or outdoor. Even other novelties to decorate your home for seasonal displays. A little pricey and today's visit it was hard to find help. However I'd still return... Checker had great customer service.

You need quick garden stuff to shop in and out..go to this location.

Highly recommend Sloat Garden Center. Not only are they very knowledgeable about the plants, Habitat and fertilization needs but they are extremely honest. I recently purchased four pots and the next day I got a call saying that they overcharged me. Was a honest mistake but they caught it! Just because of this I’ll continue to do my business with SGC. Absolutely amazing customer service and thank you!!

Great place. Beautiful selection of plants. Locally-owned. Got some ferns and a succulents.

The staff were friendly. But I’d have to say the inventory on this day was pretty bare. I must have visited on a day they haven’t restocked. This is my second time visiting this center and I still enjoy it and always get plants when I didn’t even plan to. Will definitely continue to shop at this shop. They do have a lot of variety and pretty much everything you’ll need.
