Home Services reviews in Tacoma, Washington

A few more weeks and the spring sales and blooms are going to be in full swing at Lowe's.

The staff didn't even know where the merchandise advertised on a 3'x3' floor sign within their sight, was located. Very poorly trained staff this season.

Like with most big stores, it's hard to find someone to ask a question or that knows the answer when you do find someone. The staff is all friendly but it would be so great to find someone with deep hardware store or garden expertise.

Went to Lowes for some garden plants and other items. I was looking for some specific things and several employees offered to help me locate things. The staff there are all friendly and accommodating. Got exactly what I was looking for.

I go here a lot, and am always impressed by the sale plants! Many times HD disappoints with their prices, so I prefer Lowe’s. I recommend checking out their veggie starters and full-size tomato plants during the early summer. I have many gorgeous garden flowers blooming that were half the price or less! Employees are always kind and helpful when I go here. Definitely consider Lowe’s over the orange neighbor sometime!

Beautiful location with a lot of options for this time of year. The basics I was after were very reasonably priced, especially for the quality. This will definitely be our go-to nursery from now on!

I love going here! The employees are knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoy just walking around and looking at all the plants and trees. There is so much inspiration and so many plants and trees in all different stages of growth to choose from. Sometimes I just look for an excuse to go.

We love this place but had a bad experience today- not their fault. We bought a nice expensive Laceleaf Maple to be picked up later. When I went to get it, someone had switched tags off a lesser expensive tree and taken ours. Apparently this has happened before so either take home your purchases or ask if they can hold it somewhere safer.

Just had a wonderful experience at Portland Nursery. Bought a very large pot and a very helpful employee took me all around helping me to choose just the right selection of plants for it. Friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable!

Amazing selection of outdoor plants, Amanda was wonderful with answering my questions and so helpful!

Large variety of trees, shrubs, plants, and gardening supplies. The staff is extremely helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. An added bonus is that the staff do not smother you while browsing, but are readily available if you have questions or need assistance.

Huge and Amazing inventory! The staff are educated, polite, and helpful. I found peony and tomato cages that I couldn't find elsewhere. We've shopped all of the local nurseries. Portland Ave is buy far our favorite!!!

Recently went to Portland Avenue Nursery in Tacoma for the first time. It's fantastic! Their plant selection is great and the staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. It's like shopping in a beautiful park.

Great selection (including pollinator bees & mini hives!), very good prices, & the employees were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful & courteous. I got some large pots & a few early-season items today & I'll definitely be going back.

This place is beautiful and has a huge variety of plants. The prices are very reasonable and affordable for the awesome quality of there selection. The employees are also very helpful and have knowledge on the type of plant you want.

This nursery is fantastic. I gave incredibly vague parameters for a backyard tree and Vicky figured out what I needed. She very patiently walked me thru the pros/cons of various options and ideas. The prices were more than reasonable. I will be back!

I've been to many plant nurseries and Portland Ave is one of my favorites. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for and the staff is knowledgeable. I usually come here needing advice for a struggling plant I have at home and I've always been given good tips on how to turn the situation around. I would recommend this nursery.

Amazing nursery—probably the best I've ever seen.

I was there only a short time, as I arrived close to closing, but I managed to see at least a dozen plants I've never seen before. The staff are very helpful and things are organized and tidy.

I am excited to go back and spend more time there.

( This is a update 10-14-22. I bought the 2 Sequoias in the spring of 2000 and this year one of them put on 34 inches in approx. 6 months!! ) ( The original review from the Spring of 2000 is next unedited)-------. Bought two Giant Sequoias this year, one in April and one in May. They are doing great after about 6 months, they are firmly established, they love water for sure. Were both about 4 1/2 ft. tall by 3 ft. wide. They just grew about 3 inches up and out, but they were freshly transplanted, so I did not expect much. Looking for about 2 feet of growth next year, with less watering. The best part is the price. I only paid around $97 each. Priced elsewhere if you can even find them, well over $200 each for the same size. I plan on coming back next spring for 2 different conifers. Great job guys!!

First time visiting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Acres of beautiful plants and trees, with pots and yard decor as well. Prices were fair and staff very friendly and knowledgeable! Gorgeous hanging baskets, will be back soon.

Talk about an oasis just a short distance from home! Love love love this place! You just have to check it out yourself. The staff are always friendly and helpful and the place is HUGE! Put this place on your list of places to visit this Summer. And don't forget to check out the inside plants that they have now. Lots of succulents, snake, and vining plants. Very peaceful!
