I really wanted to love this place and I even started following them on Instagram because their…read moreplants and home decor are genuinely beautiful. It's also super convenient for me since it's just a 2-minute drive away, and I'd happily pay a little more to support a local spot like this. That said, I've been utterly disappointed by the customer service on multiple visits. On one occasion, I asked a question and later realized I was speaking with the owner (I recognized her from Instagram). She came across as very dismissive and annoyed that I was asking for help. On at least three other visits, I've had similar experiences with staff seeming irritated or put out when I asked questions or wanted to check out, but that shouldn't surprise me because culture is set from the top. I've tried giving them several chances because I really do love their products, but the customer experience has consistently been off-putting. I hope they stay around and just improve their outlook on their customers.

I visited this store for the first time on 6/27/2026 and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience. When I walked in, two employees were standing at the registers talking with each other. Neither acknowledged me, paused their conversation, or even looked up as I entered. I brushed it off at first, assuming they were simply caught up in what they were discussing. I couldn't find the door handle I needed, so I approached one of the employees at the register. He said he would call someone to meet me in the aisle. I returned to the aisle and an older employee walked right past me, made eye contact, and said nothing. When he came back, he looked at me and said only, "Yeah?" in a dismissive tone. I showed him the handle and asked whether it was available or could be ordered. He replied, "It's a special handle, we don't have it," and immediately walked away. The lack of basic courtesy, acknowledgment, or willingness to help was surprising and disheartening. I left feeling unwelcome and judged. I don't like assuming the worst, but the way I was treated -- while wearing a bright pink polo and presenting as an openly gay man -- felt pointed. Whether intentional or not, it was hurtful. Customers deserve respect, professionalism, and at minimum, simple acknowledgment. This experience fell far short of that. Shame on them for allowing this kind of treatment.

Someone from the business even called me to say they were out of the original flowers i wanted and they would replace it with something else. The order was for a scheduled pick up for today at 530 PM. The driver from Doordash went up to pick my order and then i received a text from him stating that the business is closed. How ridiculous is this? why did they accept my order if they were gonna close the store and charged my card?? Absolutely unprofessional !!! Never ever going here again. My first experience with them and will be the last! Absolutely disappointed with this business! Not sure if they even care.

Between here, homedepot garden, and Rogers Garden I love the options here. The fruit trees, the decor, the fountains and everything in between. Customer service is friendly, and classes here are fun and informative. Parking is easy and the sounds of the fountains are like ASMR for me. 5/5

I am doing a landscape refresh in my backyard so a lot of plants were needed. I took various growth stages, including those tiny little pallet plants as well as someone and 5 gallon plants. So far all the plants have taken well. Very sturdy and healthy. Service is quite outstanding to be honest. Plenty of parking out front. I'll probably be back soon. Great selection of accessories and pots as well.

He took the time to answer all of our questions and made the experience really enjoyable -- thank you, Kai! This place is usually my go-to spot, and I genuinely love the vibe here. That said, on this visit it was harder than usual to find help in the outdoor area. While several team members were available indoors, they were unwilling to answer questions and directed us to find someone outside instead. After some searching, we finally found Kai. I understand that roles can be divided, but this felt different from the level of customer service I've experienced here in the past. Overall, still a place I enjoy -- and Kai's help truly made a difference for us

We are absolutely thrilled with the product and service we received from G & A. From the moment we…read morewalked through their door, Brandon assisted us with a level of care that made both my husband and I feel like we were a family member. We added on a 200 sq foot master closet room and originally went to G & A to look at carpeting for the new closet. Not only did Brandon spend a lot of time with us on the carpet (which was a small job), he inquired if there was anything else they could assist with. We quickly learned that G & A does not just specialize in flooring, they provide a wide variety of services. In addition to carpeting, we needed painting, stone for countertops and expanded our project to replacing the tile in our laundry room (a long want on my wish list). I got 5 bids for painting and when combining all the above services, Brandon came in with the most competitive pricing. We went with G & A and are so happy that we did. I never felt like he was trying to upsell us and we felt their prices were very fair. In fact, Brandon offered us options with the stone that were more economical than other brands. Brandon was with us every step of the way! When the tile I picked out for the laundry room was discontinued, he found one very similar which I ended up liking better anyways. When they started the laundry room project, while removing the old baseboards, there was an issue with some of the drywall. Brandon quickly stepped in and had one of his guys perform drywall repair right away so as to not stall the project. They removed and reinstalled the washer/dryer as well. They also updated the 20 year old baseboards to match the rest of the house. All of G & A's laborers that worked in our home were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Brandon kept us advised every step of the way. I STRONGLY recommend G & A for any home improvement needs you may have and don't forget, they do way more than flooring! I am attaching some photos of the closet where they laid carpeting and installed quartz, the tile & painting in the laundry room and the painting of the living room/foyer where the new closet was built above.

I was really worried that a dark color would be hard to keep clean but the color is so beautiful I couldn't pass it up. Keeping it clean is actually amazing - you only need to use a dust mop and a bona wet mop pad dampened with warm water and it cleans up quickly and easily. Kevin at G&A was great to work with - he met all of his commitments, he came in before, during and after install. The install team was very efficient and did a great job. The baseboards also look fantastic. Kevin was so helpful in suggesting a solution for a design issue we had with the stair landing and it came out great. There was a small issue after install that required the install team to return and replace a portion of the floor. Kevin and the install team took care of this the very next day, and the repair was seamless. I really appreciated Kevin's attention to the project from start to finish. I highly recommend G&A flooring.

There used to be a few costume stores around but they couldn't stay in business. They've got it down to a science these days and visiting the store can be a lot of fun just to check everything out. There are tons of animatronics to test out as well. It moved to the old location of the CVS that closed down. So it's pretty accessible. The staffing is minimal, but friendly enough. It's a pretty big store and they have costumes of all types for pretty much everybody from babies all the way to adults. They've all got cheap and expensive costumes as well. There are also tons of costume props of all kinds, like swords, scepters, backpacks, necklaces, makeup, etc. There are numerous choices of all kinds and you can't go wrong looking here for your Halloween costume, prop, or party accessory.
