I don't even bother with Home Depot anymore. If Poway Irrigation's prices are a bit higher than Home Depot (I'm not sure exactly -- I haven't done the comparisons), I'll gladly pay them. The people there are very knowledgable and very helpful. They have helped me solve some tough problems with my old sprinkler system that I've had to repair several times. There is simply NO WAY that I could have gotten that kind of help at Home Depot, Lowes, or other similar stores. PLUS they always have the part I need. Home Depot has been very hit and miss -- mainly miss -- when it comes to having the parts I need.
PROS: Knowledgable, helpful staff.
CONS:
