I went in here after having a HORRIBLE experience at Lowe's. Best decision ever! I went into the garden and landscape supply area and asked the ladies at the front if they had what I was looking for.

I went in here after having a HORRIBLE experience at Lowe's. Best decision ever! I went into the garden and landscape supply area and asked the ladies at the front if they had what I was looking for. Patsy came walking around the counter and walked with me to where the rocks were. We had a WONDERFUL conversation on the way there and back. I recently had knee surgery so she even picked up the bag and put it in the cart for me! She suggested that I keep my receipt with the sku, call and pay over the phone, and then just pull up next time and they will get me taken care of! I highly recommend going here! They have amazing customer service! Patsy is SOOOOOOO wonderful and such a caring woman!!! Thank you again! ❤
