“Gorgeous selection of plants indoor, outdoor, veggie starts, herbs, etc. Prices were fair and everything was easy to find. Staff pretty much ignored us, which is fine because I didn't need help finding anything, but one employee was watching me struggle to maneuver my cart around an enormous garden hose that was in the middle of the store posing a tripping hazard. She didn't try to move it or help at all. So not the greatest staff in the world, but the plants! Tons of varieties of sages and California Natives. Will definitely be back.”

“This place had me in and out within 15minutes on a 60lb jackhammer. BY FAR, FAR, best rental place ever. Paperwork, breeze. Deposit small. They trust you here. Go to United or HDepot and they'll ask for fingerprints, IDs, 300 deposits..and usually take 45mins. Dont go anywhere else, family owned since 1974!!”

“Gosh this place is like a breath of fresh air compared to over hardware stores. Right away I was welcomed and asked if I needed anything. You go to home depot or any other big store and there’s never any associates around to ask for help nor are they helpful but here!!! They’re awesome. Pointed me in the right direction for the wire cutter I needed and asked what I was working on to make sure I got the right thing. I was in then out in under 5 min. I’ll be taking my business here on out - Great experience! Shoutout to the dude at the register. He got me signed up with the rewards program and was super helpful the whole time.”
