There's a strict mask policy in place and while saws are provided they do encourage you to bring your own if you have one to avoid contact. Prices range from $65 up over $100 (tax included) with trees of all sizes. Once you've chosen the perfect tree, they will shake it and wrap it and help you load it in your car for no extra fee. We love supporting this family owned business and have enjoyed every tree we've gotten here.

Simply excellent. I…read morehad emailed around for quotes on 10 yards of mulch. Joann from JR's Mulch Sales was super helpful and very friendly. We coordinated my order and set up delivery. Easy peasy. I got my mulch order this morning after ordering it just the other day. I was thrilled I wouldn't have to wait, as I was on a deadline. Everyone I looked into was priced around the same, but JR's had a coupon in the Advantage mail, so I thought "what the heck, let's do that". They told me between 8am and noon for delivery - it came at 8:30am. Perfect. The delivery guy was super nice and very careful to make sure he dumped my 10 yards exactly where I wanted it. I was a bit concerned I didn't have enough - the pile didn't look as big as I thought (I'm no expert). Well, as any mulch consumer knows, you can work at that pile all day and it looks the same as when it was dumped. I have PLENTY of mulch, and I'm thrilled. Good prices, super-friendly people, and great service. I couldn't be happier.

The roses are big and beautiful, the lily will pop open and be gorgeous. My mom said she had great customer service, talked to a very nice lady on the phone who was excellent. There was a horrible snowstorm, so the delivery was delayed, but they did attempt to make it on the snowy day! I'm glad they were safe and didn't make their delivery driver work go out again. They arrived the next day, the driver called and left them at my door because I didn't answer, sorry! But they were wrapped in plastic to protect them, the card sitting nestled by the roses. I would order a gift from them, this was a beautiful experience!

The day they came to install there were 2 employees-2! They didn't have the equipment to dig the pool, thank goodness we had a guy doing work for us elsewhere that could help with the dig.

After the family bought a house with an above ground swimming pool much of the responsibility for…read moreit was placed on me. Out of a few pool companies I had in mind I decided to rely on Patio Pleasures because they were local and had good reviews. I'm glad I did. To get familiarized with managing a pool we scheduled a pool opening and training session so that we could get some experience. When the appointment rolled around the person they sent completely answered any questions I had. At the same time he did not do any of the product pushing that I expected to occur. Instead the treatment I got was exceedingly fair, with him even lowering the cost of the service for things he didn't have to do since we had managed it beforehand. All in all, an excellent experience. The same could be said for my experience in the store itself. The employees there were more than willing to answer my novice pool owner questions and made reasonable recommendations. I was also pleased to discover that they offered free water tests which let you know what needs to go into the water to balance the levels. I'm not sure if that's universal to stores in the pool industry but it's definitely nice to have here.

Nice idea of a business - woman-owned, seemed very knowledgable about gardens and plants, was very…read moreresponsive to giving a quote. Then it all fell apart -- weeding cost $75 per person hour, and weeds were left everywhere. When we called about it, they came to look and said all the weeds must have grown back in the time it took them to get out to see it. Then our fall cleanup -- clocking in at $2400 -- left leaves everywhere and plants untrimmed. When we asked for them to do the job properly, they came out, said it was too windy and that must have blown the neighbors leaves into our yard, declined to do more, declined to acknowledge they could have done better, and knocked some money off the bill. So it only cost us $1600 to do a job we could have done ourselves in a couple of hours. Don't waste your money here -- you'll waste a lot of it.

I contracted with Avant early spring of 2019 to install some small berms and rockscaping in my…read morefront yard (about 40x12 ft). The planning and installation went well even though it was a rainy season and the installation got delayed until November 2019. This spring after waiting all winter, I was eager to install some plants as the rock work looked great. One thing I didn't anticipate is that previous to their work I had a layer of black plastic down to kill weeds (plastic had been in place at least 20 months). Even though there were some holes in the plastic the soil was now microbe and invertebrate poor because of the solarization. I reached out to Avant to consult and Becky has been very responsive and helpful in working with me with plans to amend the soil. So even after Avant's project was complete they continue to be supportive and responsive in making sure their customer is satisfied and the garden is healthy. Thanks AVANT!
