Welp, I'm officially adult, having purchased my very own Christmas tree for the first time ever…read more That's not counting my Charlie Brown table top tree that I proudly displayed in my first ever apartment for a few years. Not really knowing where to start, I remembered always seeing this little tree "farm" in that triangle of green space on Austin Hwy near the Broadway intersection. A sucker for supporting a good cause and keeping it local, I decided to make it my first stop on the hunt. It was the weekend before Thanksgiving, so there were plenty of lush pines to choose from (Firs to be specific...) starting at 3 and 4 feet and working their way up to 8-9 feet. It didn't take us long to find the perfect one, and within 10 minutes, the volunteer guys running the show had it trimmed, chopped and loaded in our truck for us. We also scored a deal on last year's stand (I think they were selling them half-price). All in all, we made it out of there in less than 20 minutes and spent exactly $100 for a beautiful fresh scented Fir and a brand new stand. It warrants mentioning that, yes, you will find a cheaper tree at Home Depot (by about half the price). But what you won't find is three gentlemen ready and willing to help, with smiles on their faces, and a Christmas Tree purchase that gives you warm fuzzies beyond the usual holiday spirit. Support local when you can!

This The Home Depot has been my go-to for years and even though there's been some not-so-great…read moreexperiences throughout the years, overall it is still my favorite place to shop for all of our home and garden needs. Some things to keep in mind with this The Home Depot is that during the mornings (weekdays and weekends) they can get very busy with all the orders from contractors, so if you need to get ahold of someone for a specific transaction I would recommend coming later in the day. Their garden section is always amazing and they do carry a wide selection of indoor and outdoor houseplants. I also like that they started to offer discounts on some of our regional plants that are better for our San Antonio weather. If you are looking to purchase a shed, please keep in mind that there is one person managing those transactions across multiple stores. So make sure to give them a call ahead of time to see when they will be at this location so you can plan your trip accordingly. Last but not least, I recently purchased some "exotic" plants at this location and they misplaced them and had a cheaper price tag from what they were supposed to be. Thankfully the manager offered me the cheaper price and left the store with an amazing deal.

This was so lame!…read more Before you all start criticizing me, let me clarify that the Alamo itself is not what I am reviewing, but rather specifically the December lights inside the Alamo grounds. Literally you could see everything in 5 minutes after you enter the gates. I'm uploading pictures and a quick video of the 4 major light decorations, so you don't have to venture inside like I did. Honestly, all the decorations outside the entrance gate were more exciting than what was inside the grounds. Additionally, the lights along Houston street and the Riverwalk were also else I'd recommend instead of Alamo Lights. I would have been so angry if I drove and parked downtown solely for the Alamo Lights because it was one of the most underwhelming experiences ever. I know the $5 admission is (probably...hopefully) going towards Alamo maintenance, so that's why I'm not rating this as one star. But any more than $5 and there's a good chance I'd have rated it one star. Also, this review was written in 2023, so maybe the other years' lights were better

I paid $171.04 directly to Christmas.com for the "Classic Christmas" event in Dallas, TX on…read moreDecember 6, 2025, for 2 adults and 2 children. My ticket included snow slides at 8:00 PM and ice skating at 8:30 PM. Due entirely to the company's line mismanagement, we waited over 70 minutes in line. Our tickets were scanned 7:30pm, and at 8:41 PM.  After scanning, staff denied my children access due to missing wristbands, which were never issued by their employees When I objected to being denied entry after the tickets were validated, a supervisor called the police and my family, including two children, was removed from the property without receiving ANY portion of the paid services. No refund has been issued. I have video recordings of the incident including the police removal.

Overall, I always have a high opinion of Lowe's, but I have mixed thoughts about this visit. I was…read moregoing in to buy a new dishwasher and had already researched the options before I went in. Normally, when I go into Lowe's, no less than 2 to 3 people stop and ask if I need help. This visit I only had 1 person and he didn't even work in the appliance section. I was in the section long enough to look over all the options and the open box options, then come back to my selection to really check it out without the sales person ever coming to speak to me. Once I was ready, I went to check out with the sales person and never once did he ask if I had any questions or how he could offer any other assistance with the purchase. I needed installation, which turned out to be almost a month later on April 15. To pay for a new appliance and not be able to enjoy it until almost a month later is ludicrous. Overall, I'm just meh about this experience at Lowe's.

I purchased four appliances from Lowe's and scheduled installation. It has been a total nightmare…read more I just called to speak with them and asked to speak with a manager in customer services and they hung up the phone on me. Absolutely worst business on earth. On my new LG washing machine, the decal that shows the lettering for the dial wiped off within two weeks of ownership. I called LG and they say it's cosmetic and wouldn't be covered and that I should contact Lowe's. LG actually made a call to Lowe's and said that they were made aware of the issue. (From LG it sounds like perhaps that lettering is put on by Lowe's?). Without the lettering on the washing machine, you can't select which cycle you're using. Lowes sold me a $548 piece of trash. Everything I've purchased has been problematic and I have spent hours trying to sort things out. They credited the receipt for two of the purchases to a phone number that I no longer have that they knew I didn't have. I gave them a correct phone number they entered it incorrectly. I've been on the phone with them over and over just to get these appliances purchased and installed, and the consequences are things that didn't work correctly, damage to my home, and physical injury to me because of poor Service. (The staff who Lowe's arranged to deliver the refrigerator brought both (old and new) refrigerators into my living room. They moved heavy furniture to make room for two refrigerators. I've actually fractured my spine moving things back that they left displaced because they wanted space to move two refrigerators at the same time. There was no reason why they had to have both of them unhooked and pushed through the house simultaneously. If I designed the maximum amount of harm a business could do by having you as a customer Lowes would be doing that. Every step has cost me more than it should have in time, money, aggregation and damages. In order to schedule installation Lowes requires the purchase of installation parts. If they don't work the customer doesn't get a refund. Workers use the wrong parts (even if it means the dryer can't be pushed back because the hose is too long). Now a portion of my hallway is blocked because the hose is too long (because (of course) Lowes required me to buy the longest possible most expensive hose.). I also had to have additional work done because the long hose is kinked. That required a service call from a different business to be able to get the kinked hose to have enough airflow. Don't go to Lowe's. Never knew a business that did what they just did to me. I called and spoke with "appliances" and when they couldn't help, I asked to speak to Customer Service. And instead of transferring me, they just disconnected the call. $3000 spent there and I can't even get somebody to talk to.

They have a huge selection of both indoor and outdoor plants, and they just keep adding more and more selection of plants to their repertoire. If you love indoor plants, you have to check out their greenhouse. It always has a huge selection of plants from all sizes. They also recently opened a section of cacti and succulents which is super cool. I am not really into those plants, but just walking inside that section makes me feel like I am in Arizona or somewhere else. Frankly it is just magical how much one section can change to the next. Also, the service here is always excellent. I've got some amazing recommendations and tips to take care of my plants from the people that work here. In regards to the value, I think their prices are great for a small business. Anyhow, y'all can see I really love this plant nursery and I think it is a must if you are looking for a new plant baby or just want to take in nature.
