Home Improvements in Machesney Park, IL

“My husband and I went into the Machesney location looking to get pricing and purchase fencing supplies. We didn’t know where to start. Not only was Sarge knowledgeable, but he was also kind and friendly. He made a stressful situation much easier to deal with, and I left the store feeling confident about our purchase.

Thanks so much, Sarge! You're a true asset to the Home Depot team.”

“It's Menards, a big box store, so it comes down to people. The staff is generally helpful. 1st shift personnel tend to be more informed and helpful, as 2nd shift is younger and more elusive.”

“I absolutely love the flower section at Lowe's! They have a fantastic variety of plants that cater to all kinds of gardening needs, whether you're looking for bulbs, perennials, or annuals. One of the best-kept secrets about Lowe's is their clearance section. It's a goldmine for savvy gardeners like myself.

Here's the deal: Lowe's often puts almost-dead flowers on clearance. While they might look sad and wilted, these flowers are a hidden gem. With a little TLC, you can nurse them back to health and enjoy beautiful blooms the following year.

For bulbs, you can simply plant them as usual. They may not bloom right away, but with proper care and patience, they'll come back strong in the next season. Perennials are another great find in the clearance section. These plants might look like they're on their last leg, but they have the resilience to bounce back with some love and care. Just plant them in a suitable spot, give them some water and nutrients, and watch them thrive.

Even annuals, which are typically expected to last only one season, can sometimes surprise you. While they might not come back year after year, grabbing them on clearance means you get to enjoy their beauty for a fraction of the cost, and who knows? Some might even self-seed and pop up again next year.

In short, Lowe's flower section is a gardener's paradise, and the clearance section is the secret garden waiting to be discovered. Happy gardening!”
