    Extremely satisfied with this set op
    Robert H.

    I ordered my BBQ island at our local home and garden show. It was delivered and set up on time. Now this was pre- COVID it was delivered and set up to my expectations. Totally worth the expense. Great place to self quarantine yourself!!

    Had a 25 foot island built with barbecue, griddle, double burners, and smoker. Employees, very friendly , hard-working, and helpful. Owner had no problems as changes were made along the way and was still delivered on time.

    Tropic Touch is the best! My wife and I have recently completed a major backyard project that has dragged on for over two years. We had to fire our first contractor, deal with the Covid pandemic and overcome supply chain delays. We purchased a BBQ Island and over $13,000 worth of furniture from Armando Cortez at Tropic Touch in March of 2021. Because we had initial delays in our construction project and needed to find a new contractor, Armando offered to store our furniture and island until we were ready for them to be delivered (assuming it would only be for a few months). Armando delivered our BBQ Island and all of our furniture on April 11, 2023. They kept all of our furniture and our island in their warehouse, free of charge, for over 2 years!! Armando and his associates are among the most professional and understanding people we had the pleasure to work with during our marathon ordeal. We live in Highland, California. Our furniture was stored in Anaheim. Our island was stored in Riverside. Tropic Touch is headquartered in Riverside and Sacramento. Armando is always working and traveling, but as soon as we were ready (finally) I called Armando and he brought his crew to deliver it all. They were on time, polite, and knowledgeable. They even boxed, assembled and leveled, all of our sofas, tables, chairs, chaises, and barstools. (I probably should not have mentioned that. I'm not sure he does that for everyone. But we are grateful beyond words). When they were finished, they hauled away all the boxes and pallets. We have already recommended Tropic Touch to several neighbors and coworkers. Thank you, Armando! We love our backyard!

    Completed kitchen and perg built next to existing perg.

    We meet Armando at the Fresno Home Show. He was able to help us with the design and visualization of the layout very quickly. We Love our new kitchen and perg. Armodo and his staff were wonderful to work with. They also work closely with Dynamic Patio Covers who was able to match the existing perg.

    Island bar with BBQ and lights at night!

    Love my BBQ Island! Things took a little longer with the "COVID complications" but I will be spending a LOT of time at home (and out here with a cold one)! Thanks!

    We have been waiting for years to have a bbq island designed and built for our back yard. We are glad we found Tropic Touch. Armando was great with the design and delivered exactly what we wanted. Couldn't be happier. Looking forward to many years of enjoying barbecuing in our back yard with our new island. Thanks again for delivering what we envisioned.

    Professional work.

    I'm very happy and impressed with the quality of work and the professional crew. The owner was very nice to deal with. The crew was hard working,clean and professional. This is beyond what I was expecting. I I'll recommend this company to friends and family.

    Cracked tile

    Finally got the cracked tiles replaced several weeks ago. I love my my island. Just sorry the process was so painful

    Armando did such a great job really listening to our outdoor kitchen vision and then making suggestions to make it happen. We couldn't be happier with the experience and the results.

    Love our new palapa and bbq island!! Ed was the great!!
    Christina G.

    Just got our BBQ island and Palapa delivered and installed!! Love it!! Ed was great throughout the whole process..Sent is picture along the way!! Definitely recommend them!!

    Our neighbors love to come to our house and hang out often now! We have the most amazing backyard now!

    We have always wanted a bar set up to finalize our backyard and we were delighted when we went to Tropic Touch BBQ and we met Ed! Ed was super helpful and offered to come measure our space to see what he could do for us. We were excited and had him come by that very night! He stayed over an hour talking about all the things we could do. We decided to go ahead and get our palapa and bar set up! Ed promised to have it all in by July 1 and amazingly, he followed through! Ed kept us in the loop with how the bar was being built and he accommodated all of our add ons and changes. We texted him our television size and he helped us get the perfect size Keg. He even added a sink for us!! I can't speak enough wonderful things about Ed! He has treated us so well and we are so grateful and we refer him to everyone! Also the owner came on the instal day and helped us with the direction of the palapa since we decided to change it last minute. What a joy this place has been to work with! We highly recommend you go see Ed today and make your backyard dreams come true!!!

    Our experience with Tropic Touch was nothing short of AMAZING! Edward was GREAT! He listened to us when we explained what we wanted and helped us design our perfect BBQ Island. He came to our home and mapped everything out. We ordered our island on 1/25/19 and we were told it would be ready sometime in March. We were unbelievably surprised that it was ready in less than 2 weeks. It was delivered today 2/7/19. It was supposed to be delivered Monday but due to the rain we had we requested it to be delivered today. I spoke to the owner Armando and he was able to deliver when it was convenient for us. ALL I CAN SAY IS "GOOD" ABOUT THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE! I will refer EVERYONE to Tropic Touch. We are absolutely in love with our island and chairs. It is all just PERFECT! The Webb's

    With how beautiful and historic downtown Riverside is, this shop is a disappointment…read more Many of the items sold in the store are items from Walmart, Home Goods and other department stores that have a 'rustic' or 'vintage' look. The owner is purchasing and upselling (up to triple the price from the department store). The owner does sprinkle some antiques around the store but the items are overpriced. It's also kind of weird that the owner has a huge photograph of herself behind the cashier counter. Not a fan of this store when there are plenty of other stores worth shopping at walking distance.

The…read moreyoung woman at the outside table was friendly, and I was drawn to the botanical posters of mushrooms. She indicated there were more botanicals in the store of mushrooms - so I entered. I got about a third of the way into the store, admiring the wide array of vintage food craft tools - when I came upon the prominent display of the T-shirt "Try that in a small town". Knowing that this is a racist T-shirt advocating the lynching of African-Americans I realized that it was an intentional statement to black and brown people so I immediately left the store and wrote this second review. The first review was removed by Yelp because I gave it five stars. That's why I adjusted it to one star. Presently no one should patronize the store if they have a conscience and are wanting to make the world a better place.

    Staying at home has driven me to bring out my creative talents that I've suppressed for whatever…read morereasons. So, I decided to do some simple plantings and enhance my surroundings. As I Googled Succulents, so many choices came up. You can grow them from seeds, clippings or already rooted and potted. I chose the clippings, because it's like they're meeting me halfway and the cost was much better. Seeds would take several weeks before I would see a plant. So, I chose Annie's from Esty. She had the best priced offer of 30 clippings for around $25. They arrived within a few days via a small Priority Mail box. They shipped well all the way from CA. And, I received way more than 30 plants! I'd prepared for their arrival by purchasing special soil and pots with drainage. In botany, succulent plants are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning 'juice', or 'sap'. I spent time learning about these plants while waiting for their arrival. They require little watering and do well indoors. New plants can be created by taking off petals and propagating them. I was so excited! It was fun arranging them. They can be replanted later individually if needed. If they survive me, then, they're pretty hardy. They will also make excellent home office gifts for friends!

    So I think it's time to update my review here. Good businesses stand the test of time. I tell you I…read morejust had an experience that I needed a particular root stock on a plum tree I wanted to plant in the backyard. I had called the nursery that is located about seven minutes from my house. It's not Parkview. I asked them if they had the particular root stock and tree in stock. Their response basically was we have that variety of tree Santa Rosa plum but we don't know what route stocks we have. I said can you look and tell me. Their answer was no if you want to see you can come down and look. After hanging up the phone and disbelief, I called Parkview nursery on Chicago Avenue and again I got the outstanding service that I'm used to there. I told the gentleman who answered the phone what I was looking for he said let him check. He came back in about a minute and told me that they had that rootstock, but asked me why I wanted that particular type of rootstock. I explained to my situation and the type of soil and he recommended a better root stock that I was not familiar with. I had even gone on the Dave Wilson Nursery the supplier of fruit trees and it didn't catch my attention. He was absolutely right the root stock that he recommended was 100 times better and they also had that in stock. Needless to say, I got in my car drove the 35 minutes. It was greeted with outstanding customer service by every employee I ran into. If you are looking for a true outstanding nursery, this is the place to come. They have caring employees who really want your landscaping/gardening adventure to be successful.

    Riverside has a program for free shade trees every year if you turn in the Green April utilities…read morestatement (usually they're blue), and Park View is one of the participating nurseries. Over the years I've picked up bushes, herbs, flowers bushes, and free trees. This year i liked the sapling for a Flowering Plum Tree (no fruit despite the name). I also like the convenient location, and that there's a large lot across the street with a vast selection over and above the main area. Prices are reasonable and the staff are helpful with selection and care tips, too. Additionally, they have all the tools and plant food you can possibly want.
