I purchased dirt weeks ago from this business. I was told that dirt is $10 and topsoil screened was $25 delivered. The owner George came to the house and said he had the perfect dirt for the job and would not run, with just some very small rock, indicating with his hand 2-3 inches. I told the him three times that I did not want sandy soil dirt. So 16 yards of dirt was delivered with a section of my driveway damaged when the driver decided to back over the edge of the drive though he was told to stop. The driver said normally he would use a mat to protect the drive, but they are heavy and no one at the yard could help him. Well the dirt was about 60% sand, 10% dirt and 30% rocks including large boulders 70-80 lbs. and a hundred bowling ball large rocks. After the first rain this material ran since it was sand and ended up with big trenches. I called the company office and was told that the owner would sell me dirt for the small price. Really…. I get to pay twice. So I called early and got the owner who said “that was his best driver that damaged my driveway because the truck was heavy”. Really, yes trucks are heavy. I told him that he agreed no sand, and instead he delivered sand with rocks and boulders. I asked to get just 5 yards of real dirt to fill in the rained out trenches and to cover the sand and rocks. He agreed that he would drop off the dirt. We called and he had promised delivery on 8/8, never showed, 8/10 and did not show, 8/16 no show, and just last Monday 8/21 with “I will be there today” and has delivered nothing. So after five weeks we are still waiting. If you ever buy from them: • Ask for a sample of the dirt they are providing and the size of the rocks. • Ask if they have mats or boards to protect your driveway if they plan on going over the edge. • When they deliver the material and it’s not what it’s supposed to be, make them take it back. • When they damage your property make them fix or pay to fix it by confirming they have insurance.
