from 32 reviewsLove this Compost! My garden does great every year and it's because of
this great Compost Mix. I would not use anything else.
Great dirt and great communication
Started a new garden and it seems to be helping all of my new starter plantings
Product was great! Ordered some seeds as part of a gift along with a gardening apron. Was a quality item, arrived quickly and it was a big hit!
Super fast service and answered all my questions!
Great service each time I used them, 3 times now.
He delivered great organic topsoil the same day. Excellent subsurface for sod. Friendly and fast, very careful during delivery.
The mulch was great. No junk in it like the bagged stuff. AsS with all outdoor projects weather is a thing. They were understanding of delays and changes.. And when the day came for delivery, there was plenty of communication and showed up on time. Plus the price was right!
I am very happy with my soil purchase! Great company to do business with! I highly recommend!
It works well. I just wish it had some residual to it so I wouldn't have to spray every few weeks.
Good and high quality, best pants from a soil company ive ever bought.
If you want a quick turn around when ordering soil, this is your guy. If you want someone to dump soil where YOU want it, this is your guy. If you want someone to sell you good soil instead of sand and broken up pallets, this is your guy. It seems weird that a guy and his wife would be so excited about dirt, I know. But we were. It’s the beginning of a big transformation for our house. So we ordered this, I think on and Saturday and surprisingly he said he could deliver it on Monday! So Monday, we woke up and literally wished each other a happy dirt day. I went to work and sure enough, he showed up on time and dumped the dirt exactly where we were hoping. And when I got home I walked over and before I could get there, you could smell the organic material in the dirt. Our plants will love this. Excellent quality. Excellent transaction. Excellent service. Couldn’t be happier.
Very high quality fertilizer. Very pleased.
Happy with the soil and delivery was when expected, would use again
