Home Depot

I would like to say that the employees in Gardening are very friendly and helpful. I always get a smile and help to my car with heavy items. I love the nice selection of plants. I think Home Depot is cheaper than Orchard Supply on most items.

This Home Depot is the biggest in south San Jose. It is the only one with a tool rental department. The lumber selection is decent. The other departments are bigger than the other Home Depots in the area. If you can't find it at this Home Depot, then Home Depot doesn't carry it.

Good but not great. They aren't the least expensive but they aren't the most expensive either. I would think that any company which buys in bulk could offer more substantial savings. . The checkout lines can be as long as some supermarkets and although their staff is courteous and knowledgeable, there aren't enough of them throughout the store to make finding an item a quick and painless experience.
On the plus side, most of the time they have what you are looking for and they offer cutting of wood, pipes, and other items which is a great convenience for those who are not fully equipped at home.
