    After thinking we found our new lawn and landscape care company I was sorely mistaken. Last years…read moreservices were nothing but disappointing. Main problem: they became busier than they could handle. Everything started to go wrong at the beginning of last spring. We had them come out to start up our irrigation system. They were hard to book. Didn't end up coming until June. Then parts on the irrigation valves had to be replaced even though they replaced them the previous spring. I'll explain more about the irrigation in a little bit. We booked them for all our lawn fertilization and weed control needs. There were supposed to be at least five applications. We only received three. They just couldn't get to us. My dad experienced the same problem at his house. At the beginning of the season they sent us a flier for care for ash trees. Saying they would come and put a protectant on the tree to protect it from ash bores. My husband called them on it twice. We never heard back from them. My husband called for a load of river rock to be brought to the house last summer. The receptionist told him she would not be able to schedule it. They were just too busy. Not let me give you a call later... Just no. So back to the irrigation. This spring we contacted a new company to start up our irrigation. Turns out the valves they replaced TWICE were installed upside down. So again they were busted and would need to be replaced. Nightmare. We literally spent thousands with wapsie pines in the two years we worked with them. But their I experienced workers and inability to take care of existing customers sours me. We're done with them.

    Terrible communication with this company let alone getting a hold of anybody who can give you…read moreinformation. Signed a quote with the over a year ago January (quote was in January and contacted them late spring / early summer) and mysteriously our quote was never turned in. Made a copy of the quote, details and plan layout and dropped off at their office in person and was told they would turn it in. Called at least 5 times last year saying they would call me back. Only received 2 calls back, and communication about my project was minimal. Kept getting excuses everytime I called. I'm sure my little $5000 project just wasn't enough that they wanted to do. Very poor customer service and extremely poor communication. Will not be using or recommending this place to anyone. Our project was the 1st phase of many which would've been quite expensive by the time all phases were completed, but I will be taking my money elsewhere.

    I hadn't been here in years and I regret it. I should have been visiting more often because they…read morehave such cool stuff! This business has been around for many many years. It's full of fun gifts, home decor and funny unique items. I strongly recommend you visit the back room. Because who doesn't need a pot holder that says "I f#*%!ing love cheese!" They have several adult humor items in the back of the store and my husband and I had a good laugh. The front of the store has more tame and family friendly items. Lots of good gift ideas for a wedding, shower, graduation or just to get something for yourself or a friend. The woman attending the store was very personable and friendly. She offered gift wrapping for my items and had pleasant conversation without being pushy. The only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is because it's so cluttered. There is stuff everywhere! They seem to have an organization to it but it's hard to shop. They're us stuff floor to ceiling crammed in there. It's hard to navigate through and if you were a bigger person or had to use a walker or a cane it would be even more difficult. But overall a neat store!

    This shop has a lot of neat things, but most of it was stuff I had seen before in other shops and…read moreit was a little pricey. It is nearly impossible to move around if there are other shoppers in there because the aisles are so narrow and there is just stuff packed and packed in. I found a bracelet I wanted to buy so I went up to pay for it, sat it on the counter, and waited for both of the women working behind the counter to stop texting on their phones before they acknowledged I was there. HUGE turnoff.
