Great local place to fill up your propane tank and grab a bunch of supplies you might need asap in your yard, lumber, irrigation equipment, tools and almost anything else to get the job done in and around your house. Owner could definitely be a lot friendlier! But five stars nontheless. I won't hold that against him.

I really love this place. The main owner is very nice. He knows me by face and is always chatting about his epic bike rides. Miguel out back is also great. A couple of times they have had good suggestions that saved me a lot of money. They have so many speciality items hidden away. Overall, I consider this place a hidden gem. Their poplar is a little expensive compared to Anderson McQuaid, but it is a lot shorter drive. If I need a few pieces of poplar I am willing to pay a little more for the convenience.
