Amazing products. TRY THE GLOWSTONE! The location manager was spectacular. Went above and beyond to make sure we had as much knowledge as possible so we were comfortable buying. Rare to find a true family owned business these days especially one that keeps to their family roots. I will never use anyone else for my materials. My landscaper agrees! Russells lawn and landscaping only uses them as well.

At first glance, it seems like this place is set up for tradesmen and silly homeowners (like me) won't get any attention. That wasn't the case as I was pleasantly surprised at the patience of the sales people and how easy they were to work with. Specifically, Nate Z. was great to work with. The materials aren't cheap, but they are high quality and if you are willing to sweat and follow the manufacturer's instructions, you will be very proud of your results. I will certainly use Kings on future projects.

These guys are very knowledgeable if you're doing any landscaping project - professional grade materials, lighting, techniques. Definitely NOT a big-box store and the pricing cannot be beat if you have a big project. They were a tremendous help to me installing a firepit / patio in my yard. Patient and took the time to show me how to do things, my options, everything I needed. Highly recommend!
