Went great. They were punctual, finished the project quickly, and it was easy to pay them when they were finished with the job. They cleaned up the area nicely afterwards as well.

The guys from Highway Fuel were great! They were on-time, quick, and cleaned up after themselves. Previously, we always just had them deliver a pile and then it took us a few weekends to spread the mulch ourselves. It might have cost us more money but we love that it was done so quickly and painlessly. We will definitely do this again!
Description of Work: We had them blow in an inch of bark mulch throughout our front and back yards.

Went well. Used several times in the past and been happy. Gave a window of when they would arrive and arrived in that window. High quality work and cleaned up well. Honest about what they bring and what they ultimately use.
Description of Work: Worked with Highway Fuel Co. multiple times in the past. This time I hired them to deliver and blow in bark dust.

They did a great job and took the time to make sure they covered everywhere we requested and paid attention to little details. They communicated about what they were doing and asked what we wanted. Very good customer service. They cleaned up after themselves. we were really impressed with their service and can see why they have such great ratings almost everywhere you look. We will definitely use again.
Description of Work: We had dirt blown into our yard on the first day. Two days later, we had bark blown in.

Always friendly, easy to deal with. I am happy with their products.
Description of Work: I have purchased several loads of compost, potting soil etc. from this business. Usually haul myself but have also had them deliver a truck load of compost. So the price varies based on these factors .

So happy with their customer service!! Jeff not only helped me choose the best materials for what I wanted, but he helped me figure out how much and where to put it. The crew showed up on time, and had excellent suggestions. They did a beautiful job and cleaned up after themselves. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience, and I WILL use them again.

Great service and it was worth the money as this home has a bark dust rather than a grass yard in both the front and large backyard with shrubs. It saved us so much time and of course the labor. Looked so nice when it was completed. First the foreman walked around the property with me to find out what needed to be covered and which part needed a little more bark dust. Then he and his crew (3 people total) blew in the bark dust. The truck was parked in the street and hoses reached to the back first, then the sides, finishing in the front.. It is a little loud but they did not take too long and were very efficient, polite and friendly. They also used e a blower to clean up any stray bark dust on the sidewalk, driveway and deck. I will call them again when it is time to replenish.
Description of Work: Blew in bark dust in front and backyard.

My yard service quoted a fee of $1,350 to put down new barkdust. A few days later I noticed a big Highway Fuel truck at the neighbor's house blowing barkdust onto their flower beds. I called and was referred to the Highway Fuel website which was very helpful. I ordered the service and was told it would be a couple of weeks before the work could be scheduled. Later that day, they called and said there had been a cancellation and they could do the barkdust the next day! The crew did an excellent job of blowing and smoothing out the barkdust in all the flowerbeds and edges. They hosed or swept off every bit of stray barkdust. They left my entire yard, house, sidewalks and driveway spotless. The barkdust looks beautiful. The whole process took about an hour. I will NEVER AGAIN haul and spread barkdust. This is a fantastic service which I highly recommend!
Description of Work: Delivered and spread barkdust using their big truck with a hose to blow in barkdust.
