Reviews
What customers say
Customers praise the helpful, friendly staff. A garden-mix buyer describes the soil as clean and free of clay balls. One customer who had topsoil delivered reported that it was poor quality and contained a lot of clay; most went unused, and the customer bought more elsewhere.
Customer Reviews
albert salazar
Very kind and helpful folks. Prices are more than fair and reasonable. I go past other landscaping businesses just to use them for my landscaping needs.
David OLoughlin
Every year I'm buying a ton or more of their garden mix soil. It's very clean dirt and doesn't have clay balls like I've seen elsewhere. They are very competitive in pricing and provide a better quality mix.
Zach Denning
Purchased both tarped topsoil and garden mix. Price was almost exactly half of what it would have been in bags from the box store. The people are super helpful and friendly and I was in and out within 15 minutes. You can use their delivery for $90 a truckload, but I just picked up myself. Will definitely use again.
Jessica Fearington
Had some topsoil delivered from them after seeing positive reviews and confirming with them that it's "a fertile loamy topsoil". Unfortunately it was not good quality. Lots of clay. I didn't use most of it and ended up having to buy more elsewhere. Do not recommend.
John Benjamin
Closed last Saturday which bummed me out until I told my customer and she said it was best to take the weekend off. Enjoyed it!
