Alan's Lawn & Garden Center - Norwalk at a glance

Customers frequently praise the knowledgeable staff, friendly service, and efficient repair work for lawn equipment. However, several low-star reviews highlight significant issues with communication, including unreturned calls, delayed responses to emails, and a lack of updates on service estimates or online orders.

I have been going here for the last 4-6 years. The staff is kind,helpful and knowledgeable. I made the switch to battery powered before the pandemic and read about greenworks commercial. I ended up getting an 82v 25" mower which I have had for almost 3 years and recently got the 82v blower too no issues or problems. These tools not only get the job done but are powerful thank you guys!

After months long search for a specific leaf catcher, found it here at Alan’s. No surprise. My father, one of the original Japanese gardeners in Orange County, used to frequent Alan’s Lawnmower Shop. I believe that was the name back in the day. The leaf catcher is exactly the one used by my father and it’s almost impossible to find on the internet. I understand Alan’s is now run by the 3rd generation.

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thanks for your kind review. You might be happy to know that it is run by second gen. And that while Alan is no longer with us, his wife Joyce and her sister still are. If you're lucky you might still catch Joyce around the shop as she stops in when she isn't cooking for the grandkids. We are blessed to have her guidance and support. So glad you found the catcher you were looking for.

Great customer service. They helped me in my purchase of electric machines for pur landscape business and especially so in getting approved for the rebates.

Response from the owner · a year ago

That's awesome news. That rebate program is so helpful for landscapers to switch to battery equipment. We are happy to have helped you.

I would give a zero stars but i can't. Bad service, I was waiting to ask if they can sharpen my chain saw, I was skip to another customer that just came in. I waited for nothing, I will be taking my business some where else!!!!!

Response from the owner · 2 years ago

I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. Can you share which store this happened at so I can direct my attention to the correct person. Our goal is 5-star service for all customers. If you were skipped over that isn't ok.
