Our south-side Lowe's always seems to have everything that I go after. If they do not, they either order what I am needing or check with other Lowe's in our immediate area. No complaints ever! Also, greatly appreciate the 10% discount to Veterans. (R. McMillin, Abilene)

I'm probably giving one star more than I should, because we typically do choose the "other" big home improvement store in town, BUT...recently Lowe's helped us out installing a new hot water heater, when the "other guys" shrugged and said they had no installers. Basically, we find everything we want at Lowes, and usually for a competitive price, BUT we have trouble finding lawn sprinkler parts and plumbing items frequently. And if you want help in the aisles, forget it. (forget it anywhere, really) You need to know what you're looking for and how to do it, because the clerks will only be able to tell you which aisle the screws are on, but not which ones you need. In springtime Lowes has the best selection of plants and grasses compared to others in town.
