First time buying a chirstmas tree. Didn't really know anything about them. I was pleasantly educated about the care of them and how to keep it long. Very helpful and pleasant experience. Also was accompanied by Sandy the pup and Luna both very friendly dogs to join you as you…

Without fail, always a great experience getting our Christmas tree here ! This is our 4th year getting our Christmas tree here and we love it! Thank you Sandlot family (and little Sandy paws) for your great customer service each year!!

We stopped by to check out their Christmas trees and left very happy! A great deal on a great tree, helped by great folks. Bob and the guys were so kind to me and my family, we'd definitely return again in the future!
