Great. All we had to do was place the order and the soil was delivered exactly when they said it would be. Not sure the quality of the soul yet, as we just planted our starts in it less than a week ago.

Order taking and delivery of product went fine .. nice people. However the quality of the compost is lousy. It was wet and loaded with hundreds of 10and quot; sized clumps of heavy/clay like material which even a rototiller had a difficult time breaking up ... to make matters worse there were lots of baseball/softball sized rocks in the material which looked exactly like the other big clogs and those played havoc with my rototiller which ended up in the shop with a repair bill greater than the cost of the compost. They apparently make no effort to screen their compost. In hindsight I wish I had selected another compost material and choose Grimms.
Description of Work: I purchased a unit (7.5 cu yards) of Mushroom Compost - delivered to house.

My landscaper got there at 4:45 to load more rock, but neither of the desk women were willing to do the transaction because they had to leave exactly at 5:00. I was surprised they weren't willing to help out in this emergency. That's what customer service is all about. So, won't recommend them (plenty of competition) and when I went to another place for the pavers on Monday, found out the new place was also less expensive.
Description of Work: It's what they didn't do....I had bought $400 worth of rock pavers earlier and my landscaper ran out at the last minute on Saturday. I called to set up another order for my landscaper to pick up. Woman on the phone took my order and phone number. This was another $400 order. I finally had to call back when I didn't hear from her, and was told she couldn't do the order.

We thought that the pricing was reasonable. They were quick, easy and the wood was delivered on time. They also came highly recommended. We called and talked to someone on the phone and they were certainly very professional and they gave us the information that we wanted and needed. They scheduled when it was best for us, which was good and then the driver came with the wood and he was terrific.
Description of Work: We hired a half or a quarter of fire wood from Mt Scott Fuel Co.

The office was prompt in taking my order and suggesting a blend that woul be best for our applicatiion. The top soil was loaded promptly and we were on our way. One thing that I think is important to note is that the blended soil was VERY clean and rich looking. Our new grass has come in very quickly and looks great.
Description of Work: Provided top soil blend so we could fill in mole holes in our yard and replant grass.

At time of order she told me that it's been rained on but should burn just fine. Driver was on time and courteous. Delivered wood was more than and quot;rain wetand quot;; it was water logged and does not burn. When I called to complain was told that i should have ordered the wood earlier. Lesson learned -- find out where wood is stored before ordering and dont order from Mt. Scott.

I called My Scott fuel to ask about firewood. A lady answered the phone, and I started to explain to her what I was looking for and what I'd be using to haul the firewood. I wasn't trying to argue, just wanted to get information based on the size of my vehicle about how much I'd be able to put in the truck. She very rudely cut me off, told me its either in racks of 1/7th cord or they'd just put a scoop of wood in the back of my truck for X dollars and that was all. I felt like I was being scolded for doing them wrong somehow. I didn't bother asking what kind of firewood they had or if it was seasoned at that point because with her attitude, I didn't care. This company has definitely made my don't ever give them business list, and they really ought to give the people answering their phones some basic training in customer service.
Description of Work: I called to ask a few simple questions about their firewood and how much it would be to fill the bed of my truck, which turns out to be about 1/3 of a cord

I pulled into Mt. Scott Fuel and it was moderatley busy. There was a display in the office of samples of bark, soil and rocks. The girl in the office imeadiatley got up and asked if she could help me. I asked a few questions about the differnet barks and settled on fine hemlock. I paid and was given a loading ticket, I drove out into the yard and got in line with two trucks in front of me. The line moved very fast and was loaded. I was out of there in approx 10 minutes. Spread the bark at home which took far more time. Looked great the rest of the summer. Very pleased with the product and service.
Description of Work: Picked up some bark from their office.

I called Mt. Scott Fuel to purchase a cord of firewood on 9/19/2011. I bought a cord in 2010 and was very pleased with it. The woman who answered the phone was very pleasant and knowledgeable, and she signed me up for delivery the morning of 9/21. The driver arrived within the stated time frame (8-12) and was absolutely tremendous! I asked if he could drop the wood at the top of my driveway, which is on an incline, narrow, and the sides are walled. He very carefully backed the big dump truck up my driveway and carefully unloaded the wood even closer to the site of my wood stack than I thought possible. He saved me many, many trips with my wheelbarrow, and I can't thank him enough! The wood was clean and dry with very little extra 'mulch'. It was a very generous cord and the same price as last year.
Description of Work: Mt. Scott Fuel delivered a cord of firewood to my house.

I spent about $100 for about two yards. I like the way the seeded chip comes and I use it for pathways. They have really nice drivers and I like that they come in and I have a really short driveway and they put it where I want. Often I can call and get it delivered the same day, so when the weather is good and I want it, I get it.
Description of Work: I always get my mulch and top soil from Mt Scott Fuel Co and I have used them several times. The last time I used them was in September and I purchase seeder chip from them.

I called late Friday and they were able to deliver the next day. They gave us a window of 'morning' and almost made it, making it to the house a little after noon. The driver was really nice, very careful to avoid damaging landscape with the dropped load of wood in the driveway. The wood itself was pretty clean, and we had about 3 barrows full of bark and small scraps, but no dirt, and the wood looks perfectly seasoned and dry and clean. It was way more wood than we expected, based on the dimensions of a pile made of up 1/2 cord, and we're pretty sure it was more than that. Very happy with Mt. Scott...we've been getting mulch from them for years, but this is the first time we've tried firewood. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Ordered 1/2 cord of firewood, a mix of alder and maple, to be delivered.

When I called that day, I didn't expect them to deliver the wood the same day. The wood was clean and nothing was dead. They put it in a good place, away from my flower beds right where I asked them to! He was very careful with the dump truck. There was hardly any debris after he was done stacking it. I give them very high marks, all the way around I think they did a really great job. I used Angie's List to find them and I would definitely use them again. The amount they charged was in reason and I feel I got what I paid for.

I called to order, and it was delivered next day, exactly where I'd asked. It seemed ok, but growth where I've planted hasn't been particularly great. I had to fertilize almost immediately. Their bark dust was good quality, although it did sprout quite a few weeds at first.
Description of Work: I had 10 cubic yards of their compost delivered to my home. On other occasions I have purchased their bark dust and given them my old, dug up concrete for filler.
