Tldr: Be careful about Stradler Nurseries employees stealing from your home! I would not hire them…read moreto do any work at your home if you have anything of value outside your home. Stradler Nurseries came to plant trees on the border between my HOA (Armistead Park) and the HOA next door (Fairfax Landing). As I walked home from dropping my kids off at school at about 9:30am yesterday, I saw a Stradler employee with his coworker picking fruit off my tree and pocketing them IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! Keep in mind that I have a sign saying not to pick because it is stealing. As I approached, they quickly walked away so I could not talk to them, but one of the employees came back the next day with his boss so I confronted him then. After confirming they work for Stradler Nurseries, the employee suddenly said he couldn't speak English. Finally, the employee admitted he was at my house but he was "just looking at the fruit" but not stealing them. The boss repremanded his employee but took no other action. But then why did he gave giant orange fruit in his hands as he walked away?? I'm very disappointed in this company.

Saw this posted on their social media page: Fill-A-Bag special with up to 5 items and get 20% off…read morethe whole bag. It was for 1 day and all I was planning to get were the Hammond chocolates they carry. Their store stayed busy with patrons, and they also had an assistant helping throughout the store - I have seen her on a previous visit. She is very helpful. However, on this day I already knew what I wanted. As soon as I entered, I grabbed a bag. They provide the bags at the counter for this special. It is a small paper bag about 8.5 x 11 inches or so. Here is what I added to my bag initially: * A few of the Hammond's chocolates - most of my favorites were out, so I grabbed two Candy Cane Crunch described as Dark Chocolate with Hammond's Peppermint Frost. It is good, but not one of my favorites. * Orange Blossom Honey Hand and Body Lotion from the brand "The Naked Bee". It smells so good and smooth on the skin. * A bag of Jimmy's Crab Dip Potato Chips - it was my first time seeing this brand of chips here. Usually they carry the brand "My Dad's Chips" which are good too. These Crab Dip potato chips were so good that I wished there were more in the bag. To my surprise, when I go to check out, I am informed that 20 percent does not include food. Well, that sucks. So, I removed one of the food items from my bag and decided to treat one of my family members to an early holiday gift. Hopefully, they like what I got them.

Thursday 2/15/2024…read more This place was brought to my attention due to its ice cream but it was more than that. The family room is a local based gift shop that sells plenty of things like baked goods, ice cream, chocolate bars, books, juices, soaps, candles, art, and much much more. The workers make sure you are welcomed and are happy to help with anything you need. I ended up getting a cinnamon roll $6, brownie $6, a s'mores choclate bar $4.50, and a 'C is for cookie' (pre packed) ice cream pint $7.49. The cinnamon roll and brownie come from Ella's bake shop and they surprised me. The cinnamon roll gave me low expectations based on how it looked but I was highly impressed to say the least. I had the cinnamon roll at room temperature & warmed it up and it very was good, I would definitely get it again. The brownie also gave me low expectations based on looks but yet again I was impressed. The brownie was good: moist and had chocolate chips in it. The s'mores chocolate bar came from Hammonds and it was alright but overpriced in my opinion. When it comes to the ice cream they have fresh ice cream available and ice cream pre packed. I ended up sampling C is for cookie (cookies n cream + cookie dough), vanilla, and chocolate. C is for cookie ended up being my favorite of the 3 so I decided to get a prepacked pint of it which was a noticeable dip in taste & texture compared to the fresh ice cream I had before but I know better next time. The family room is a nice find that I would recommend and would return to for the delicious baked goods & FRESH ice cream.

I had the nastiest interaction with Eric M. Wenger, the owner of Complete Lawn Care (CLC) today…read moreand, despite being excited to possibly hire them (I had them on good recommendation), I will not be moving forward. BUYER BEWARE! I first called and emailed CLC on Friday, 7/15/222 for an estimate on core aeration and seeding services (but I was also open to a full lawn care package too). I got a callback from Jake (who I believe is their customer service representative/office manager) and told him to have the estimator who comes out please give us a call or a heads up because we have a locked gate, and we would need to unlock it for the estimator to see the backyard. Imagine my surprise when, on Monday afternoon (July 18, 2022) I get an estimate from Eric, the owner of the company, from a "visit" he did on Friday, without ever having been told that anyone was coming out for an estimate. My first thought was that CLC had done an estimate based on GIS software that can tell the size of your lot without the estimator coming out. However, when I opened up the estimate, there were notes about the condition of my lawn (specifically, it said "Lawn is in fair condition overall with some broadleaf and grassy-type weeds throughout"), which seemed to indicate that Eric was implying he did show up. I emailed Eric concerned, since no one had asked me to unlock the gate, asking him how he could have had a chance to examine my lawn if he didn't see the backyard. Eric replied saying "I called and knocked on the door, but the phone does not accept calls and no answer at the door. There was an SUV in the driveway. I was able to see all I needed to see to provide an accurate analysis and pricing for your entire lawn." That email rubbed me the wrong way, as I caught Eric in (what I believe to be) three lies: (1) We do not own an SUV, so there could be no way one was in the driveway. (2) My husband and I were working from home all day on Friday, and we have a very reactive guard dog. If anyone had so much as approached our front door, let alone knock, we would have heard it and our dog would have gone crazy barking. (3) My phone was turned on and near me all day, as I was awaiting several important phone calls unrelated to lawn care. I have no record of any missed call from any local number, nor do I have even one voicemail from anyone at CLC. I told all this to Eric in a follow-up email. And since I was starting to feel unnerved by this accusatory, already unfriendly back-and-forth, I called the office to try to straighten things out on the phone. Jake picked up and told me Eric would call me back. Instead of a call back, I got another email back from Eric, choosing to fight me again. Instead of what, in my opinion, would have been the customer service friendly thing to do, which would be to apologize and offer to set an appointment for a quick in-person estimate with me, he preferred to be antagonistic instead. Eric responded to me saying it was not a priority for his inspection to determine whether the car in the driveway was an SUV or not, that it was some sort of grey car, and also that my phone was saying it was not accepting phone calls (although I've never heard this complaint about my phone before). I immediately called the office back a second time and got Eric on the line this time. I told him that perhaps he had looked at Google Maps to do a "remote" estimate of my lawn, because the previous owners of the house had a grey SUV such as the one Eric was describing, and it was their car that shows up on Google Maps. I told Eric it was disappointing that he was choosing to fight with me when I was a prospective customer who was initially very excited about working with him because he came recommended. Eric all but hung up on me at the very end, effectively saying something to the tune of he didn't think this was a good match. His tone throughout the entire call was nasty and curt. If all of this nastiness wasn't enough (and it should be enough to make anyone run the other way), I will mention a couple of other nits about this business. First - CLC was the highest quote of five that I received. Relatedly, CLC's pricing is based on a minimum lawn size of 4,000 sq. feet. So if you live in most parts of Bethesda, where our lawns are often 2,500 sq. feet or less (!), you are getting charged more than you really should. Third, CLC makes you sign a year-long contract for their lawn care services, and is one of those skeezy companies that has B.S. tiered pricing to try to up-sell you. All in all, it seems like Eric doesn't really care about customer service. Or he just doesn't like to be challenged by a young(er), professional woman. Either way, only the man upstairs will ever truly know whether Eric was lying or not, or whether somehow the universe was conspiring against him that fateful Friday. In any case, there are so many other small, hardworking landscaping companies to support in the area!
