“What a wonderful experience I had today and what a great store! I brought in a clump of grass because I didn't know what it was. An intelligent woman (Val) identified it quickly and told me everything I needed to know about getting rid of it (Bent grass), how and when to seed afterwards, and set me up with all I needed. It was SO refreshing to be able to converse with someone in a relaxed manner ... in this world of machines and Home Depot experiences. I actually look forward to visiting again for other lawn and garden needs. I'm also going to order 3 yards of topsoil with a very fair $50 delivery fee. Update: I laid the topsoil down and it went great. Two weeks later I wanted to just top-dress a few areas, and bought a few bags of their packaged topsoil that has some compost added. It's awesome. It's what I've always hoped for but was never able to get it at Home Depot. The Home Depot soil was always a big, hard clump ... with decomposed branches in it. Not very spreadable at all. The ones I bought today are perfectly moist and dark - and completely spreadable. The white specks in the photo are a bit of grass seed I put down. The price special was 5 bags for $27. Update #2: I laid down some of their brand grass seed 4 weeks ago. I had always used Scott's grass seed from Home Depot and was not crazy about it. So far the seed from Van Putte is doing very well for me. It's coming in fine. We're having a nice warm spell here (80 degrees on Oct 22) and that helps. Their seed may grow a little slower than Scott's and doesn't have fancy packaging or fertilizer on the seed, but I won't buy Scott's again. Van Putte sells Scott's too I think, but again, so far, I am liking theirs best. I had even bought a bag of Jonathan's Black Beauty toward the end of summer, and like a few other reviews of that product, I think I got a dud bag. I don't see where one blade of it ever grew. I did use Jonathan's Winter Survival and their Mag-i-Cal for hard soil and think it's great. Attaching two new photos -- the invasive creeping Bent grass - see all the nasty stolons and roots! And that photo is after 10x raising it with a dethatching rake and mowing on the lowest setting, and is after 4 weeks of applying Killzall glyphosate. It's so pervasive. And here's a photo of new grass growing amongst the kill off.”

“I've ordered a variety of seeds from Harris as well as seed potatoes. Germination was great and they grew into productive plants. Shipping was fast. The orders were accurately filled. Very good experiences with Harris Seeds.”
“I ordered " chef cut gloves" and the staff was most friendly and helpful as to where and how to pick up items that were special ordered. The gloves are most awesome!! Wish I knew about them before my boyfriend cut the tip of his finger off!!”
“I came into home depot looking for a particular size,style and stainless steel refrigerator. Couldn't find one. That's when lorena jewett went to the computer and showed us many refrigerators. We selected one. She set us up for delivery. She was very helpful,patient and courteous. Thank you lorna jewett in the appliance department.”
“4 stars only because they have a smaller selection or are out of stock of things but otherwise, my fiance and I love to go here because they have some amazing customer service. A woman named Carmella works there and you can tell she takes pride in her job of helping others have an easier, better day. Thank you, Carmella, for being such an integral part of our positive shopping experience.”
“The "Factory" element of this facility is evident driving in: a huge retail store with highest quality goods with very large yards. Interestingly, they even offer a 50% guarantee on plantings!”
