When I showed up, the receptionist gave me an old one, and when I asked how much (expecting maybe $10-15), she said, "Oh, a couple dollars is fine." I tried to pay $5, but she insisted on giving me change. That's what Minnesota nice is all about, people!

I bought a used Cub Cadet zero turn mower from them years ago. It was a complete disaster. I ended…read moreup giving it away to the tech school in Brainerd. I have not been back for quite a while. Because of proximity, I called to rent a lawn aeration plug walk behind. I asked them to call me when it was returned, as it was out for rental in the AM, and I was told at 1 pm I could pick it up. After hooking up my trailer I called at 1 pm , as I did not get a call. He said "OH I came in broken" . I asked why they didn't call, as I had planned my afternoon around the aeration project. I get that thing break, but no call to tell me , and no 'I am sorry" or alternative was given. Two bad experiences.

At the time of writing this review, the Yelp profile appears out of date (business name is AAA…read moreRental on the profile). They are AAA Equipment Center now. Years ago they were rental focused, but they have changed with the times and demand. They rent and sell equipment now and have a good selection of quality brands in the property maintenance categories (lawn/garden and general landscaping). I have rented equipment here on/off for the last 15 years. I have purchased equipment as well. Customer service and equipment knowledge is top notch. The owner (Simon) is hands-on, practical, and professional. Employees I've dealt with have always been great. They even have a friendly shop dog that greets you and hangs out with you while you are there. Their product offerings are top tier as well with good quality equipment from ExMark, Husqvarna, and similar. It's a small shop, but if you need to purchase or rent equipment for jobs big or small, they can help. I especially appreciate the tight community, customer oriented approach I've experienced with each visit. I've never received the casual, disinterested attitude when looking or shopping at AAA -- even when I didn't purchase or rent. I've seen that disinterested attitude in too many sales and service shops of similar size/makeup. So, I take my business to where it's appreciated and backed up with quality products and service offerings -- like AAA Equipment Center. I also appreciate that they SERVICE what they SELL. This includes warranty service on equipment. That saves me time and money and headache when something does happen. I don't have to haul it or ship it somewhere else.

Get starlink. TDS is truly awful to work with as a company. I'm sure the local techs are decent…read morefolks but the company knows there aren't great internet options here so they don't bother providing a competitive service because there historically has been no competition. Get starlink, no needing to wait for a tech to come out, considerably more reliable.

This company is an absolute nightmare. Called to set up service. On the phone with them for 45min…read more Told them I just wanted internet. No phone. No cable and they kept pressuring me to get it. When we finally came to an agreement their computer froze and I had to call back. So I called back the next day. Another 50min phone call. Finally the said they would have someone out in a week. When the big day finally came they didn't show. Apparently the guy taking the order forgot to process it.. when They did finally show they ran the cable across the lawn for bird and dogs to pick at instead of putting it underground. We agreed that since I took work off for a no show on their end they would give me free installation and free first month. Well I just got billed for the first month and I've been on hold for over a half hour now trying to resolve this. Figured I would leave them a glowing review they deserve. F*ck TDS!

He was early, which was nice, and very kind. I feel like he listened to my ideas and preferences, and it was easy to get on the same page. He shared with me that he and his wife are working with a new design program to bring your ideas and their ideas to life on the computer screen. I was a little surprised with the price, it was higher than I expected it to be. However, This was my first quote and maybe that's just what landscaping costs.
