Earth n Wood in other cities:
UPDATE TO ORGINAL REVIEWI wanted to acknowledge that we ended up receiving a full refund. We appreciate that Earth N Wood stepped up and did this*******************************************Had two tons of rock delivered on Wednesday to back yard. Delivery guy griped about not wanting to get stuck, assuming backyard was soft, but he walked it, saw it was dry and hard, and delivered it right where I needed it with no issues. Called Thursday to have four yards of dirt delivered today. Driver (same one from Wednesday) shows up and an starts shouting from his truck, in the street, Im not going back there. I asked why, he says manager told him not to go into any back yards because other drivers have gotten stuck in other back yards. Told him it was even dryer and harder than it was on Wed when he went back there. He wouldnt get out of the truck to check, just said if I didnt want it the front, he was taking it back to Earth N Wood. I just filled and seeded my front from a tree and stump removal, I didnt want to cart four yards of dirt, a wheelbarrow full at a time, to the back yard, (and l also didnt want 4 yards of dirt in my driveway) so I told him to take it back then. Called Earth n Wood, they said delivery manager would call me back (this was at 2:40). They close at 4, so I called them back at 3:50, since I never got a call back. Spoke with Brian. He said manager made the call this morning to not deliver to back yards. I said to just give me a refund. He said sure, minus the $40 delivery charge. Why, I asked, when I hadnt had a successful delivery? He said because they did come to my house. I told him its a delivery charge, not a sit in front of my house and yell from the cab of a truck charge. He absolutely would not budge. I told him that I found it shocking that they where going to lose the business of a homeowner with internet access and the ability to leave reviews over $40. He put it back on me, saying I could have let the delivery take place. I said maybe you should let customers know BEFORE your trucks head out that no backyard deliveries will happen, and to give them the choice at that time instead showing up and being given no choice but where YOU want to put it. Cripes, whos the customer here? At any rate, he would not budge and took the option of lost sales and bad reviews, so there you go. And before anyone asks why I didnt get it from Bierce, here you go-Bierce didnt carry the rock I wanted, and they where out of topsoil. I normally do buy from Bierce, and these where the only two times I havent for the reasons I just stated. In fact, the four yards of soiI that I needed for the front yard, I did get from Bierce. Looks like I will be waiting for Bierce to have topsoil again. I know they will deliver it to a any firm and reasonable place I ask. So, if you are getting a delivery from Earth N Wood, make sure you want it in the front. As for me, they lost a customer for life.
I ordered 8 tons gravel for my 80 foot driveway I ordered online I selected for the gravel to be tailgated and I also selected a time that I would be home so when the delivery came I was home so he came didn’t say anything to me just dumped the gravel in one big pile and left didn’t say anything
My boyfriend and I do landscaping hardsdape and this place is mostly where we go. Its one of the best places to get good long lasting mulch, decent pricing, they also sell bricks, patio pavers and multiple kinds of rockgravel. You can also dump yard waste there freely cheap and you can get $$ off for dumping at the bottom of your receipt when you purchase mulch. Highly recommend this place for your future yarddriveway projects. :)

2018-09-06Bought 4 yards of super soil. Super soil is supposed to be a mixture of screened topsoil, compost, peat and sand. What was brought to me looks like ground up mulch, with rocks, chucks of clay and I found some pieces of concrete. i tried to call the office 8 times today, but it said the person i am trying to contact cannot accept calls. I called the next day and they had me send pictures. They called back the next day and said the delivery was a bad batch and would replace it or refund my money. Good customer service.

2019-07-06I ordered a dumpster (roll-off). The ordering was quick and easy. The only problem I had was trying to get an estimated delivery time. After several calls they did get back with me and told me it would be in the afternoon. So I was able to get a few errands done in the morning. It would be nice if they could offer a 2 hour delivery window and call if it changes. The driver was professional and placed it right where I asked. Quick and painless. Overall all I would recommend, only issue was the delivery and pickup times could not be estimated. Price was very competitive, with the 25 dollar off coupon was the cheapest I could find. Thank you
