Outstanding experience!…read more I'm a homeowner. I'm not a commercial grower or landscape architect. But, I needed mulch. A lot of mulch. I called several places and Heather at Mulch Unlimited was, far and away, the nicest and most helpful of anyone I spoke with. I visited their yard in Mechanicsville because I wanted to see what the economy mulch looked like (I really don't know why.) Again, Heather was very nice and helpful. I ordered 75 yards of Mulch Unlimited economy mulch. Promised delivery was Friday around noon. On Friday, around noon, Steven arrived with the first mulch load. Steven was great. He was friendly and he did an excellent job dumping 75 yards of mulch in precisely the spot I wanted it to be. I'm unable to think of anything anyone could have done that would have made this a better experience.

The staff are well educated in the products they carry and while I constantly hear how expensive they are, I have never seen the prices as too high, they may be a little more, but you are getting better quality material for that modest price increase. Compare pressure treated or standard framing from lowes or Home Depot with them m, there is NO comparison, Siewers simply carries a better quality product. They also do custom millwork, cabinets and much more. Their sales staff is great, the owners are 5 generations deep. I have known most of the family for years and cannot recommend them any higher.

They have a decent but not overwhelming selection of annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, herbs and vegetables.

At Azalea, they're like $2.49. Friendly service. Located in the old Azalea Shopping Center parking lot.

The prices were amazing. I literally paid $1.24 per foot for the wire where Home Depot was charging $3.78. I saved hundreds of dollars going here. The guys here knew there stuff too. Being a first time amateur electrician I only knew how to run the wire from what I read online. I was also depending on this knowledge to get me through the electrical inspections by Chesterfield County. The sales person, Jeff I believe" was awesome and broke down how to do everything step by step, and even told me all the material I had forgot about. I did everything he said and passed my rough and final inspections with out any problem.

Here is ONE of my amazing Ace Hardware customer service experiences...I was at Home Depot to check…read moreon the price of a power tool I was planning to purchase. It was $89 at Home Depot. Since I didn't need it immediately I decided to price check around, Ace being my second stop. I spoke with the owner who helped me look for the item. Turns out, they didn't have/sell this (non-standard) item. Instead of saying, I'll order it or go somewhere else, he says, I have one at home, you can borrow it and return it when you are finished. This man doesn't know anything but my name but generously gave me one of his personal home items to use for my one time job. Thanks to ACE for saving me $89 and still allowing me to get my home project done. It truly is the friendly neighborhood store. On a side note, they have a great selection of home items, natural cleaning products, gifts, yeti coolers and adorable bird houses.

Kelly at the front is perfect. No notes: she's 5/5 with customer service…read more Terry in the key island? Not so much. Before I even interacted with him, there was a guy with no name tag on the other side of the counter in front of the register, so close I could have tapped his shoulder, who completely ignored me for several minutes. Eventually, Terry came around the corner and asked if I was being helped. I said no, I just need a duplicate key. I followed him to the other side of the island and gave him the house key I was having copied. No sooner had I handed him the key then he took a personal call on his cell phone. He was on his cell phone the entire time the key was being made. I was flabbergasted because given the white ponytail hanging out of his hat, I judged him well old enough to have customer service ingrained in him, but this old-head Terry showed less respect to me as the customer than the average 15 year-old employee I see bagging groceries. He slipped the new key into the bag and handed it to me with no break in his phone conversation. As I walked away, I decided to compare my key with the duplicate Terry had just made. The match was COMICALLY different. My biggest regret is that I didn't snap a picture of it for this review, but suffice to say there's no way the duplicate key would've opened the deadlock I need it for. That's actually very concerning because I'm relying on this duplicate to let me in to someone else's home to feed their cats while they're out of town. The wrong key would make it impossible to feed them. I went back to Terry and he was still on his personal phone call. Seeing me again, he wrapped up with "I love you" which confirms the nature of this call, and gave me the undivided attention that would have spared a revisit in the first place. I held the two keys together and told him I was skeptical the key he had just made would work. He took the keys in his hand, agreed and cut me a new key. When not on the phone, what do you know? he was able to make an identical duplicate. The key was just over five dollars, which feels like a fine value. The only reason I'm doing two stars not one is because Kelly was so great welcoming everyone in and checking out at the register.
