Approximately one week ago, I called in looking for Zeon zoysia turf grass. I was told they had it in stock. I drove 30 miles one way to the nursery to pick it up. Upon arrival I could not find the grass. The staff apologized and had no clue what the grass was or if they had any. I explained my situation and frustration as they just wasted my time. They were very sympathetic and stated they would try and order the grass for me. A few days after they told me they ordered two flats of the zoysia and would contact me and let me know when it comes in. They emailed me telling me the flats were in. So I once again drove 30 miles to go pick it up. To my dismay, they brought two flats of a different grass type. I told the staff that it was different and they insisted it was similar, if not the same. It was not. So now I've spent two days and drove a total 120 miles for nothing. They said they would email me if anything. There were no attempts to make things right or go above or beyond basic service. read more

BOTTOM LINE: If you need a plant or tree that is not in stock at Louie's Nursery. Do not waste your time; find it elsewhere. I stopped by Louie's, looking for a specific tree that was not in stock. I left my name and contact info. After a week, I followed up with an email, again providing my information and the requested item. Louie's responded and stated they would have the tree within two weeks and would contact me. After a month with no response, I made contact again. Louie's stated that the tree was being picked up from the grow yard the following day and would be available. Two days later I made the 1:20 drive (round trip) to the nursery; no tree and nothing had been transported from the grow yard. After seven weeks of frustration, it's apparent that Louie's cannot accommodate requests for items not in stock. read more

My sisters birthday is today and because we are senior citizens we decided not to get together this year due to the pandemic. We live 50 miles away so rather than ship a gift we decided to send her a house plant. Searching Yelp for a nursery close to her house Louie's Nursery showed up with good reviews and I now know why. When I called Claire answered the phone. I explained to her the situation and she told me the have a selection of house plants to choose from. She texted me pictures of several plants and pots available. We made our decision, gave her address info, she planted our selection in the pot we choose and delivered it to my sister. This plant made her day. Thank you Claire and Louie's Nursery for providing such excellent customer service. I realize this may be a minor sell to your business, but you made one family very happy today. read more

Helpful staff, quick transaction large selection of trees to choose from. Easy in and easy out for the parking lot..

I bought Pretty in Pink Eden Climber last week. I noticed some orange spots on the tree. I as the owner and a staff what that was and if they would be gone by themself. The owner and their staff said it was just because of the weather and the owner also added 'if you dont want, you dont need to buy it'. It was true, it was my decision to decide to buy because I trusted them that the orange spots will go away by itself; however, when I am home, I looked over the internet and found out that it was rose rust, a type of fungus that would kill your roses if untreated so please be careful when buying plants there. read more

Horrible customer service , they will leave you on hold and forget about. When you call back, they act like you are a bother and tell you to call during the week when they are not as busy ‍‍ Take your money somewhere else... P.S. Oh yes and with an attitude also which puts the cherry on top! read more

I've never been here before this was my first visit. I drove from Lakewood ca up to Louie's nursery. It took us 65 minutes to reach this nursery. I was in search for a Wurtz littlecado dwarf avocado tree. They had plenty of varieties of avocado trees. They have many varieties of succulents and many varieties of flowering plants too. I also got a butterfly hibiscus too. They take care of their plants because they all are thriving and blossoming well. I also got two bags of soil -one was palm citrus and the other was planting mix. So about 100 bucks on this visit this time. read more

Today my wife purchased 8 items from there and one item was triple scanned (she was charged quantity of 3 of one kind of plant when only one was being purchased). The cashier seemed apologetic after this mistake was brought to her attention. After the adjustment/refund was made, my wife checked over the receipt and noticed another mistake as there was a double scanned item (she was charged quantity of 2 of one kind of plant when only one was being purchased), so another refund/adjustment had to be made. When this second mistake was brought to the cashier's attention, she seemed to be irritated and frustrated that a second refund had to be made to reconcile the situation. The owner seemed irritated as well!! These were entirely the cashier's mistakes. The owner did not apologize for these overcharges, providing the impression she does not care about her customers. Louie's nursery has a great selection. JUST BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS. read more

They got everything in the way of gardening, plants and tree's. My wife & I enjoyed the drive, as it was far from our house, but I would definitely go back! Thank You Also For Your Great Customer Service read more

I enjoy driving here sometimes to check out their plants. They have varieties of fruit trees, especially citrus and avocado. Or I always enjoy walking around the nursery to check out new plants. read more

I purchased two Chinese Flame trees in May 2023. They were delivered to my residence and planted by the company that Louie's recommended. One of the trees didn't do well while the other is growing just fine. In September 2023, I had an arborist take a look at the struggling tree and he confirmed that it was in decline. I called Louie's and verbally relayed the arborist's report which included the most likely cause of the tree's decline. Louie's stated they would replace the tree and did so within a few days. Their decision to offer me the replacement tree was a pleasant surprise because the 90-day warrantee expired in early August! When you talk about best business practices, you can't do much better than that. Well done, and thank you. John S., 12 October 2023 read more

Excellent assortment of plants. We redid our entire backyard 1/4 acres with plants from Louis Nursery in Riverside. Their customer service was exceptional. They helped us choose the type of plants we were looking for. We have dogs and didn't want anything that would be toxic. They were so patient and we were quite please with the plants we chose. We hired them to also deliver and plant each one. They did a fabulous job and to this day (5 yrs or more later) they are thriving beautifully! read more

After seeing the response from Mary on yelp, I called, there is no tree set aside for exchange like Mary said and and the person on the phone doesn't seem to know "Mary". Well looks like this is just another lie just to make them-self look good. Also left message for someone name Sondra on 5/20/21, no call back. It's not A LOT of money, it just a shame to have a tree that's "useless" to me and I don't have a "waste land" to plant it. and I don't the heart to re-sell it to neighbors knowing it's NOT going to bear fruit here in Riverside. Oh well, Mary, Keep that money and here's my honest review to warn others. read more

It's a beautiful place, would have loved to explore and spend my money but they don't allow dogs? In an outdoor area they don't allow dogs. So dumb. We packed up, headed down the hill to Parkview Nursery with a big sign at the front that said "Dogs Welcome". I spent all my money there. read more

I use to give this nursery a lot of my business time and money. I have over a 2 acre garden constantly working and growing new things, Louie's use to be my place to go. The owner sadly is rude and really doesn't give a shit about her patron customers. She would not allow me to exchange trees that have died within a months time. She also did not want to honor my utility bill for a free tree which comes in once a year. I am not exaggerating when I say I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars at Louie's nursery over the years. They truly do not care about their patron customers.... I won't be going back ever again. Goodbye. read more

Went in today for the first time very pleased with the selection of trees and plants.

I had THE MOST INCREDIBLE experience with Louies I am compelled to write an outstanding Yelp review. I spent 2 hours yesterday calling over 20 local SoCal nurseries in search of the perfect Dwarf Carolina Cherry Laurel Prunus (Caroliniana 'Compacta'). We have an established row of trees in our backyard lining our pool and one of them got diseased and died, so we have a big hole. It's no small feat finding the perfect size tree, for the perfect price, WITH delivery and installation. I wanted to check all the boxes, and was finding options, which were either the wrong strain of Carolina Cherry Laurel, or options that were far from me (2.5 hour drive). The only one I found was a 2.5 hour drive one-way (and a U-Haul truck rental) to pick it up. NOT IDEAL!! I had called Stephanie from Louie's Nursery yesterday and she said she'd check and get back to me. I thought...I'll probably have to follow-up myself or she'd forget. NO! Stephanie did NOT forget me :) She texted me photos of the tree this morning and sent me two options....The first was PERFECT!! The same size as our established trees, and in addition, she said they could deliver to our home AND plant it for us!! I was blown away. I winced as I asked the price.....(drumroll please)......It was MUCH LESS than I anticipated. VERY REASONABLE!!! The tree was less expensive (and in many cases, MUCH less expensive) than the competitors options, AND she offered me a very reasonable delivery cost and planting cost. I was OVER THE MOON with joy - this put a huge smile on my face. I was also super-grateful for Stephanie's amazing customer service and follow-through. I honestly would NOT HESITATE to consider Louie's for future purchases. Overall AMAAAAZING Experience!!!! :) THANK YOU STEPHANIE AND THANK YOU LOUIE'S!!! :) read more

I've bought lots of plants here over the years. Their selection is great. Two star rating though for the absolute non existent customer service. Staff out in the plants literally tens and walks away from you. We are trying to buy several trees, bushes, and other plants but I left empty handed out of frustration of being totally ignored. Do not expect to get any sort of plant knowledge or help. I'll only come when I'm buying plants of no consequence and not my trees. Editing to respond to Mary. I was at the Van Buren location from 930-1030. Walked up and down every tree aisle and plant aisle. read more

Awesome gem of a nursery located in the Inland Empire.

Best part is they sell David Austin roses here and for a decent price! read more

I was invited to a friend's birthday party and decided that as a gift I wanted to get him a plant a potted plant. This place is a nice size Nursery with a really great assortment of plants. They were indoor plants, outdoor plants, fruit trees, herbs, vegetable, you name it. I was able to find a plant that I liked called a Thailand peperomia and picked out a nice pot and the lady was nice enough to say she would repot it for me with soil. It was a decent price and I want to go back and pick up a plant or two for myself when I get a chance. read more

For ten years I've been searching for a Jan Boyce avocado tree. They seem to be always sold out. However, last week Greg Alder in his weekly email mentioned Louise's Nursery stocks such trees. I called and confirmed and drove there today, 4/13/23, and finally, I own a beautiful Jan Boyce tree. Thank You Greg and Louie's. Jock Begg read more

BEST nursery ever! We were looking for a black tulip magnolia tree. After driving to Orange County (from Corona) to a nursery that said they had them in stock but didn't, we called another half dozen places in the Corona/Riverside area without success, until Louie's. They had the tree in both 5 and 7 gallon sizes (half dozen in each.) Many were already showing blossoms. They have a large variety of trees, shrubs, flowers, etc. They also have pots, yard art, and pottery, including Talavera. We also bought a rose called "oranges and lemons" that I'd never come across before. Staff were friendly, approachable, and helpful. Louie's is our new go-to nursery. read more

disappointed, I called in advance to see if they had specific plant in stock. They answered and informed me that they did in fact have it. Once I arrived I asked the where my plant was.. They had no idea nor did they try to help me out. They finally told me that they placed a order that day to insure my order would arrive on time so I drive 40 miles for nothing.. a couple of days later they call me and say "your order is here!" so I drove 40 miles there to find out they ordered the WRONG plant. They work in a nursery yet they don't know that there are hundreds of different species of plants. I will not come here again. Go to a place where they are educated. read more

The expertise at this site is unmatched. Great selection. Our go to place. Juanita is exceptional.

This is a really great place when looking for soil amendments. It's got all the tools and fertilizer you need as well as additives to bring down or rise the ph in your soil. This place also has amazing avocado trees! I found some with fruit as well however as far as veggies there's really not that many options. I love gardening veggies and fruit and they seem to have more flowers and succulents than veggies and fruit. Other than that it's a really great place for gardeners with experience on their belts. read more

I highly recommend this nursery if you have a garden, or want to start one. At this nursery you will find every type of tree for landscaping, and Urban Planning Development. They have the largest variety of fruits and citrus trees. It's amazing to see all the familiar flowers, bushes, and shrubs you can actually purchase to plant in your garden. They also offer tours so you don't have to worry about walking around that entire nursery. read more
