Thank you very much for your great job! Excellent organizational skills. Perfect materials delivered by very professional drivers. Received more than 60 trucks top quality of landfill and topsoil for the best price on the market. Highly recommended.
Thank you Jerrold for being so organized and professional!
Mila.

I rented a dumpster from them, and they delivered and picked it up as they said they would, and charged the price they said they would. No complaints, would rent a dumpster from them again. Some of the other reviews talk about their soil, etc. I can't speak to that because I only got a dumpster.

I didn’t want to write this review and I gave the company plenty of times to discuss my problem (three separate calls trying to reach the manager). The staff and service was fairly good, the product not!
I finally reached the manager. I explained that I had ordered Pyper’s Perfect Soil after hearing wonderful things, but what I received was not what my friends did (even our friends agreed!). I was unable to break up a clump of this grey "soil” by hand (the manager suggested using my foot to break it up), and I could not drive a stake through it up tomato plants because of how hard it was. Turning the soil was extremely difficult and needed several attempts until I gave up because I could only manage to dig 4 inches deep. He told me that the soil was meant to be hard clay and that it indeed had manure in it. He said the clay holds water, which is odd because I watered a row of plants for a solid 5-10 minutes straight, only to watch the water run off and find the soil bone dry one inch down. I took bags of peat moss out and mixed it in with the cement-like soil and still had problems trying to loosen it so water would penetrate through. The grass seed planted in the spring did not take at all. We reseeded and watered throughout the summer with only spindly thin sprouts appearing - then later dying off (he suggested that maybe grass can’t grow in that area). Where we patched our lawn with this “soil”, puffs of clay powder still rise four months after as the lawnmower passes over.
I asked if maybe they made a mistake and possibly delivered some kind of dirt for a road or infill for a foundation? I do believe my friend, that this soil was once excellent. I’ve seen the result in their garden and felt their dark lush soil from a few years back. It is absolutely not the same as what I received, and the manager was either not interested, or did not believe me.

Never again.

I too ordered a whole truck load of garden soil for my plants... then for an extra charge they bumped up my order to triple mix... After dumping the whole 32 yards (from what I can remember fitting in a dump truck) the soil was moist looking and dark, yet after starting to spread and move the soil I immediately noticed it wasn’t what I ordered... it had pieces of broken glass, pieces of steel, even pieces of smashed plates/ceramic chunks not to mention the huge amount of gravel as well. It also dried up looking like dirt... I made the mistake of spreading all over my front lawn to even it out and to give it new life, well it turned into clayish clumps that smothered my lawn from water and air, until I had no choice but to re-seed the whole front lawn. Basically I was given a truck load of fill.. possibly I was at the right place and the right time for them to get rid of a truck load of soil they removed from a new construction site’s foundation dig. I called and emailed them back, never to be reached back from anyone... I am still picking broken glass off my front lawn and garden even after 3 years of the purchase. I am writing this now in hopes that it will save someone the waste of money buying a product which is certainly not as described... I will also send my complaints to the BBB to get my money back... This spring, do the right thing and avoid these guys at all costs.

Orderedal a huge amount of Pyper's perfect top soil from this company and was very disappointed in the end result. When spring came, the melted snow revealed loads of gravel and broken glass all over my yard. The grass won't grow because of the ridiculous amount of rocks and no more walking barefoot in our yard until we're done picking up all the glass. Absolutely ridiculous!

This has been the worst experience I’ve ever seen with a company that’s supposed to be professional..... not impressed at all. The company told me that they were bringing crushed concrete.... got nothing but dirt, pieces of wood with nails in it, plastic etc. Tried to reason with the owner.... got nothing but attitude. Been asking them to remove it... got no response. My opinion, nobody should be trusting this company for anything!!!!

Great job. They were able to deliver on short notice for me. Gravel worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.
