Called about a product we ran out of mid project on a Saturday and the guy on the phone was super duper extremely helpful.

This place is great if you're doing a small or big project around your house. Or if you're a contractor in need of raw material. They carry alot of tools also.

Excellent customer service. I walked in on Saturday before closing time and all personnel were very friendly asking if I needed help. Answered all my silly questions and made my transaction a breeze.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The woman who took my call was rude, kept rushing me off the call when I was asking questions, and LIED that she had what we needed in stock. I waited on hold for her to check inventory, then sent my guys down to buy the stone she confirmed they had (which was 30 minutes away) only to find they didn’t have what we needed. Thumbs down to this place 👎

Great place for natural and manufactured landscaping products. I wanted a particular color natural stone in a specific size and Brian went to work and found exactly what I wanted. Wasted no time in getting me the rest of what I needed.
Great service, good people.

Excellent customer service! The guy in front was helpful and answered my questions. He politely informed me that they were closed and suggested I take as many brochures as I wanted. Fantastic selection for landscaping and for that home stone look. Beautiful choices! Many choices! Thanks!!
