We recently designed our backyard with the help of Jairo Vargas Design and John Riera (JR Custom Landscapes). My husband and I made several trips to Thompson to choose materials for our new yard the customer service was outstanding as they walked us through the different materials that were recommended to us by John. We used these different pavers and the beautiful rock for our design.

This place is great if you're doing a small or big project around your house. Or if you're a contractor in need of raw material. They carry alot of tools also.

Love the selection, the only bad thing is parking inside, there’s not enough, but you have to sacrifice that for the selection

Excellent customer service. I walked in on Saturday before closing time and all personnel were very friendly asking if I needed help. Answered all my silly questions and made my transaction a breeze.

Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. The woman who took my call was rude, kept rushing me off the call when I was asking questions, and LIED that she had what we needed in stock. I waited on hold for her to check inventory, then sent my guys down to buy the stone she confirmed they had (which was 30 minutes away) only to find they didn’t have what we needed. Thumbs down to this place 👎

Came here to order a set of RealFyre gas logs and the staff was very helpful. The next day we realized that we forgot to order something while we were there and they were able to add it to our order over the phone. I had no idea that it is a mini hardware store inside! It's not just rocks and landscape materials. This is a no nonsense place and shoppers are mostly contractors or laborers that know what they need. I would come here again if looking for gardening tools or other specific things and I didn't want to deal with the massive amounts of people at the big box hardware stores.

Great place for natural and manufactured landscaping products. I wanted a particular color natural stone in a specific size and Brian went to work and found exactly what I wanted. Wasted no time in getting me the rest of what I needed.
Great service, good people.

Excellent customer service! The guy in front was helpful and answered my questions. He politely informed me that they were closed and suggested I take as many brochures as I wanted. Fantastic selection for landscaping and for that home stone look. Beautiful choices! Many choices! Thanks!!
