Description of Work: I called to schedule delivery of fill dirt and was told their estimator would call me back. I never heard from them again. I can only assume my business is not very important. | |Their ads look impressive, though.

The overall experience was quite good.
Description of Work: Hafners had competitive prices on both gravel and topsoil. Hafners' delivery fee was reasonable and we always received our products on the day we requested. We also picked up smaller amounts of gravel on our own and Hafners gave us an excellent price.

After having our chimneys cleaned, I asked our chimney sweep for a recommendation for firewood, and Hafners was one of two he recommended. Of the two, Hafners had the lower price for delivery of mixed firewood. They delivered a "bucketful" which is about 3/4 Cord, the same day as the order was placed. I was given an hour timeframe for delivery, and the delivery was about 20 minutes after this expired, but that was not a problem for me as I had told the office that I would be home all afternoon. The firewood was delivered via a small dump truck, and was dumped onto the drive at the place I requested of the driver. I stacked it myself. I did not ask if they offered this service as I planned to stack it. The wood was fairly dry, remarkable as it had rained the entire previous day. There were some chunks of dirt, which might have come from a previous delivery as they also sell mulch and topsoil. However the wood itself was mostly clean. The driver gave me a packet of coupons and information for their other services, which I appreciated.. Overall, a good experience.
Description of Work: called to inquire about firewood and delivery. Decided to have the wood delivered, and it was, later the same day. I ordered 3/4 of a Cord, and received just over 3/4 cord of mixed hardwoods.

Quality of mulch good and professionalism of workers who delivered was excellent. Management was quick to proactive resolve a 2hr delivery delay (from original time quoted) by crediting extra $ amount off of delivery charge (in addition to the $15 delivery coupon provided on Angie's List).Will definitely order from them again!
Description of Work: Requested/ordered delivery of 3 yards of Midnight Magic Supreme mulch.

The people came and delivered the soil on their way home on a Friday. they were polite. However, Sunday it rained and we hadn't had a chance to cover the pile but we noticed that there was a tremendous amount of clay in the mix. The soil compacted to the touch and you could tell the leaf mold hadn't really composted into the mix well... I contacted the owner and told him we were not happy with the product and he offered to haul out an additional amount of 6 cubic yards of just manure and leaf mold.. Overall we are very disappointed with the product and were inconvenienced that the product wasn't ready to go. We have had to mix the additional compost into by hand.. Our site is VERY clay and we do need a quality product in order to plant our vegetable garden. I was happy that the owner did give us an additional 6 cubic yards of compost .. but honestly we probably could have used more .. but overall shouldn't have had to go through the trouble. I would just say to anyone buying soil online.. It is probably better to go and look at the soil IN PERSON.. and do not rely on pictures.. they are deceiving and you don't know really what you are getting.
Description of Work: I was looking for a good gardening mix to plant a garden with. I looked online and saw their gardening mix. The price seemed to be ok and I had gotten a referral from another gardening place that Hafners was good quality. We needed a good quality gardening soil as our land is pretty much clay. The gardening mix they had on their site said that it had a good mixture of topsoil and manure and leaf mold (50% topsoil, 30% aged horse manure, 20% aged leaf mold. ). so we ordered 16 Cubic Yards of the Garden mix.

They were very helpful on the phone and easy to work with. They delivered when they said they would. They were careful about dumping it where I wanted and very professional. The cost was a little higher than other quotes I got, but the topsoil was very good quality. It was worth it.
Description of Work: We had 4 yards of topsoil delivered to our house.
