Description of Work: Excellent customer service. They off loaded and dispersed an entire pallet (in the rain I might add) of sod onto my trailer and on the truck after determining the trailer was to small for the entire pallet to sit on. Very helpful.

We called Green Brothers to ask about soil for a raised garden bed and then stopped in to see the available resources prior to pick up. What they offered up front was rich garden soil; they have several different types of soil, gravel, slate in piles/pits on site. On the day of pick up, we spoke to the front end guy who was very short on his responses, not customer oriented at all, this was the first tip off that should have sent us packing. I tried to ask about the soil type, what the were actually going to load in our truck, was it for a raised garden bed, specifically growing tomatoes, herbs; he huffed and repeated his Yes-that's what you grow in with a poor attitude. The loader approached our vehicle from the back of the property, not even near the humus pile they keep on display out front. It didn't look, feel or smell enriched at all though he said again yes-yes it was. Basically, we got fill dirt. I rechecked this with a nursery in the area that carry only bagged soil, we had been given fill dirt with no sustaining qualities for gardening. What a shame that businesses force ou to take whatever they load onto the vehicle all the while knowing the plan was for home grown vegetables. We put this low grade junk into fill areas in the yard. Luckily we were sent to a nursery out to Twin Branch Nursery in Woodstock Georgia that carries much better materials.
Description of Work: Was scheduled to provide Garden Soil

One of the pallet had sod all broken in pieces. Some of the sod was good, but some was not in good condition - lot of dirt on it not growing well after 4 weeks also. .... They picked phone and said he can't just come to deliver for the damage caused. The damage was few hundred dollars as buying from retail would cost more and paying all over again to instal.
Description of Work: I ordered 3 pallets of sod for delivery. On one of the Zoysia pallets, half of the sod was all broken in pieces guy who came to deliver said they dropped it while loading and had to hand pallet. Called them first thing next business day, they said can't redeliver and reimbursed $100. The damage caused was more than $100 :-( to buy more sod at retail price and double pay for install.

Description of Work: I ordered 7 tons of their flower mix to mix in with my current soil for my flower beds. The delivery was on time and the quality was pretty good. I did find a couple of large pieces of plastic drain pipe in the mix, but the overall quality was good.

I purchased 2 pallets of Sod for pickup on Saturday 5/31/14 at 8 am. I called at 7:30am it was not in yet. I called again at 9am, 10 am and then at 11 am they said they were beginning to get worried that the Sod had not been delivered. The sod was finally delivered to Green Brothers at 1:30 pm. I picked up the sod (5 hours later than stated ). I had rented a trailer to pick up the sod and had hired help to help me with the laying of the sod which cost me more as well as put the installation into the hottest part of the day making it more difficult. After the install I needed another pallet of sod so on Tuesday 6/3 I ordered it. On Saturday 6/7 I awaited a call from Green Brothers. When I had not heard from them by 9am I called them. I spoke with Sheila who told me that she was just about to call me. She told me that my Sod was there and ready for pickup. Less than an hour later I received a call from Mike stating that they had sold my pallet of Sod to someone else. He said he was sorry but did not have any solution for me other than I am sorry.
Description of Work: Purchased a pallet of Sod for pickup.

They were very professional and helpful in calculating how much sand I would need. They don't deliver smaller quantities, so I had to hire someone else with a pickup truck to pick up the sand and install it. The sand was clean, and the estimated quantity was spot on.
Description of Work: Sold me 1 cubic yard of white sand

The mulch was delivered on time and deposited in the correct location in my yard.
Description of Work: Made my annual order of brown mulch from Green Brothers. They were courteous on the phone and took my order. I was not at the house when they delivered the mulch but it was delivered on time and placed in the location I had told them. The mulch is pretty good quality...there was some trash (plastic) in the mulch, but no more than I find in bags of mulch purchased from the local landscape store.

Excellent experience. Friendly, helpful staff.
Description of Work: I ordered 4 yrds of top soil to be delivered. I made the order at 8am and it was delivered by 1pm. Also, I ordered 2 pallets of zoysia sod, but, due to a 3-pallet minimum, it couldn't be delivered. So, I had to rent a Home Depot truck to pick up the order. Not a big deal. The sod was in excellent condition. Far cheaper than buying it by the piece.
