Honestly, pulling up to this small place and getting propane refilled is easier (and maybe even faster) compared to doing a cylinder exchange. It's also cheaper and they fill your propane tank up more. Going forward, we'll be using this place to fill our propane tanks.

My favorite part was the making of my bed was included in the service. It seems like a small thing, but, it's big!

I highly recommend A Fresh Palette. They offer reasonable weekly and bi-weekly services. Keep doing what you are doing!

Five year update: There is not a day gors by that we don't love the view of our landscaped yard…read more As requested, Trio installed native plants that attract birds, since my hobby is photographing birds. But the result was much more, the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, (some bearing berries for birds) is the envy of the entire neighborhood. The plants have matured into a planned "painting" of contrasting foliage. My experience is that money spent outside of the house goes further than remodel money spent inside...maybe it is the "alive" thing that plants have. That sounds dumb, but seeing the seasons change in my yard is life affirming. Thanks, Diana. Larry and Helen

I called Trio Landscaping last fall to discuss a landscaping project we needed for our backyard…read more This is a duplex that hasn't had much loving care to the landscape due to it being a rental property. Now that my husband and I, the owners, moved in, we wanted a space that felt "finished", cozy and a place where we would like to hang out. Diana, the owner of Trio Landscaping, was excellent to work with. She spent a lot of time getting a good understanding of our budget and what we wanted before she created a plan and sent it to us. We had several zoom calls discussing the plan and making minor revisions to ensure it met our needs. Her design is spot on for our space. We were out of town the week the construction took place and came back to a completely new backyard! It has transformed the way we spend time in the back yard - hanging out with friends, grilling and just reading and relaxing. I now have a backyard I am proud to show off. The Trio Landscaping team are all top notch professionals! Thank you, Trio Landscaping!

From the owner: You want more than just a daycare that keeps your child safe and busy, and you want a place where…read moreyour child will grow into someone kind, curious, and genuinely excited about the world. At Sunflower Montessori and Daycare, that's exactly who we help them become. The Montessori method is built on a simple truth: children don't just need to learn facts. They need to learn how to think, how to treat others, and how to love the process of discovery. In our infant and toddler rooms, Teachers will guide your little one through movement, sensory exploration, and social play, building the emotional foundation that everything else grows from. In our preschool and Pre-K classrooms, that foundation becomes academic depth. Language, mathematics, science, geography, music, and the arts are all woven into a hands-on environment where they will develop independence, curiosity, and real problem-solving skills. And we don't stop at academics. We also build grace and courtesy, a genuine love for nature, and care for others into every single day. When they head to kindergarten, they won't just be ahead of the curve. They'll be kind, confident, and genuinely ready for what comes next in school and in life. Plus, Sunflower Montessori and Daycare is Parent Aware 4-Star rated, the highest quality rating in Minnesota. So if this sounds interesting to you, call us or go to our website and book a tour today!

TLDR: We loved The Gardner School in Eagan so much that our…read moresecond child is now enrolled there. The staff are warm, communicative, and genuinely devoted -- many have worked there for years and even send their own kids here. The curriculum is top-notch, with TGS kids regularly entering kindergarten ahead of their peers. On top of that, the events they host are truly one of a kind -- from a Raptor Center visit and ice cream socials to singing and dancing with the Little Mermaid, and even parent night out caretaking during the holidays. There's never a dull moment at TGS. Our older child made his best friend here and still misses it. Now our infant is thriving in their baby class. The staff here are truly the village you're looking for. Having our second child at The Gardner School in Eagan says it all. When our first started at Gardner at age three -- after coming from Everbrook in Woodbury -- we were nervous about whether he'd adapt to a new school, new friends, and new teachers. Would we find people who truly cared for our child the way we do? The answer was yes, immediately. The staff made us feel welcome from day one, kept us updated with photos and comments throughout the day, and loved our little one like their own. From the cook to the leadership team, everyone is warm and approachable. What really stands out is the stability and dedication of the staff -- many have been there for years, and some even send their own children here. The curriculum is excellent, and we've heard from friends that TGS kids consistently enter public kindergarten well ahead of their peers in reading, math, and more. The annual performances are a wonderful touch too, giving kids real experience being comfortable in front of a large audience. The events TGS hosts are truly one of a kind. From Raptor Center visits and ice cream socials to singing and dancing with the Little Mermaid, and parent night out caretaking during the holidays -- there is never a dull moment. These experiences make learning fun and give kids memories they'll carry with them long after they've moved on. Our older child found his best friend at TGS and still lights up every time he visits. He regularly tells us he wishes he could go back. Now our second is in the infant class and thriving -- the daily photo updates and evening recaps give us such peace of mind. The staff here truly are the village you're looking for.

We couldn't be more thrilled!…read more After moving our child from another center to The Gardner School we haven't looked back! Since the transition to The Gardner School we now know what quality care is and what was lacking previously. Our child has shown marked improvement in so many areas that we could not have asked for a better outcome. The teachers and staff at this location are wonderful and a true delight in the mornings and afternoons during drop-off and pick-up. We are always kept well informed and updated about our child throughout the day with an extremely convenient app. The teachers here are also very well educated and treat this as a career and not just a babysitting job, which is truly a comfort when you are entrusting them with the most valuable and treasured people in your lives. I would highly recommend this school to anyone! You won't regret your choice.

While the staff was generally friendly and accommodating to our specific needs but there were more negatives than positives. She was not sleeping well, not eating well, was getting sick often and they always seemed to have staffing issues. The toys/baby gear were very outdated and there didn't seem to be a big focus on a scheduled curriculum. It was very evident that the teachers worked REALLY hard but often seemed to be mismanaged and chaotic. My mom gut told me this was not a great for baby so moved to a new center and she is now thriving, learning and so happy to be there. Sorry, but I do not recommend.

I keep going to that daycare with the hope that everything was just about her. The kids didn't play with her so she was playing by herself at the playground.... After 10 months I decided that it was not normal (my daughter cried every single morning) the kids still didn't play with her, the teachers keep telling me that all was fine and the managers not taking any action. Finally I changed daycare and after the second week my daughter was smiling, have many friends and play with them. I see that she loves her group and the teachers and also they love her. Also this daycare is less expensive! I lost my time and my daughter's time at Especially for Children. I don't recommend this daycare for new kids as it could be an awful experience.
