I ordered mulch for the first time from Thompson this year. The mulch looks great! When it was placed in my driveway, I realized how much M n' M had been shorting me in the past years. I'm glad I found Thompson.

I'm consider myself a hobby woodworker and typically I feel overwhelmed going to a big production like this seeing as how I am not a contractor. However everyone stopped what they were doing, moved three pallets of lumber around so I could get to the size boards I was looking for. In the future I will definitely go back for more lumber.

Went for just one wide oak board but they took the time to find just the right one — as though we were a big customer. Nice people, great place, perfect board.
