CEDAR GROVE COMPOSTING

This company is awful. They do not take appropriate steps to mitigate the various toxic elements that are released during composting & as a result they destroy the air quality in Issaquah, Maple Valley, & Renton. The air is unbreathable for MILES around the Maple Valley facility. We live miles away & haven't been able to open our windows most of June & July. It's an absolute nightmare. The air is toxic & induces vomiting & migraine headaches for many. We can't go for walks, kids can't go outside to play without getting sick. It's an absolute nightmare every single day. I won't touch anything that comes out of Cedar Grove Compost ever in my lifetime. They are mismanaged and are destroying people's health & lives.

Lots of garbage in the compost. Plastic bags, plastic pipe and all kinds of plastic coming out of the mulch and accumulating on the surface.

Previously, I had contacted another provider of topsoil, as I understand that substance is not up for blower service. It was dumped in our driveway, and countless wheelbarrow loads later, as well as hours and a few blisters, well, let's just say, it was ALL About Blower Service for the mulch. Especially as the area in question of our yard is fairly mature, and that would be a considerable amount of shoveling for even spread. Called Cedar Grove, as it was their product we wanted in mulch, and they contracted with a blower service direct. We paid Cedar Grove. Used the website, it was fabulous. Service was timely, it's June, it's not going to be next day. Truck came, two very professional blower service fellows came out, confirmed where the six yards ordered were to go, made some great suggestions, and 45 minutes later, all six yards were down, 3 inches deep. The back of the truck was scraped of the excess, and the truck went back to get refilled for its next stop. The second service fellow stayed behind, used a blower to clean up all stray bits and spread the bit of truck excess where I suggested. Did not notice any odor. Nor did the neighbors. Yard looks fabulous. Haven't had to do much more than spot weed in two weeks. Pretty much a grand slam. Would defintely use Cedar Grove direct again and very highly recommend them.

You have to go and get it yourself. You can also ask your gardener about it. They do not deliver to me. I just pick it up from them. I like their service. I go there and pick up some of the soil. I like their product. You go up there and you get yourself the compost, they load you and then it?s the product at the end. The quality of the product is excellent. You pay for what you get, so I think the price is fine. The price of the compost is almost the same every where. They are not the cheapest though. I use a lot of this stuff. I would use their services again in the future.

We have a six car drive way and there is plenty of room to dump this stuff. He got underneath the telephone wires and he had exact knowledge of the width and height of that trunk and he got under there like a pro, like a swimmer knowing the body. He got under there and got the stuff exactly dumped in our dive way looped forward little dumped looped forward a little and there was a lot left in that truck. He had promised to deliver between eight and ten because I knew Jim was coming and he would have plenty to do in the back yard and Cedar Grove Composting drove up at 7.59. He was so on time Further I had changed my order from 18 yards to 25 yards and they did that. I had ordered the first one three weeks ahead and then the second I called up asked for more and so we changed the order and they had it ready for us. They did it as smooth as glass. Price was good for what I was getting. We were little late in the scale of getting things done in our back yard. They did what they had to do. We were one of the last deliveries. The weeds had sprung up very nicely over the composite in winter and that kept the composite nice and black. I would use them in the future if needed.

A++ Great company. Easy and friendly to deal with. The cost is a little higher then most I the soil is far better than any place else.

Great - no problems or concerns.

WHEN THE LOAD WAS NOT THERE AT THE APPOINTED TIME, I CALLED THE CO. AND WAS TOLD BY A VERY PLEASANT AND APOLOGETIC RECEPTIONIST THAT THE DRIVER WAS RUNNING A LITTLE BEHIND SCHEDULE AND WOULD BY OUT WITHIN 45 MINUTES, WHICH HE WAS! THE DRIVER WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND COURTEOUS. HE WAS ABLE TO DUMP THE LOAD RIGHT WHERE I WANTED IT, IN SPITE OF A VERY LARGE EVERGREEN TREE AND NUMEROUS POWER LINES!!! I WAS IMPRESSED! THE COST WAS HIGHER PER YARD THAN I AM USED TO (I USUALLY HAUL IT MYSELF IN A PICKUP) BUT FOR THE QUANTITY I NEEDED THE DELIVERED PRICE WAS WORTH IT! CEDAR GROVE COMPOST IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN IMPROVING THEIR YARD AND GARDEN.

THE COMPOST MATERIALS THAT I'VE HAD DELIVERED OVER THE PAST COUPLE SEASONS, HAVE BEEN GREAT! MY GARDENS AND SOIL LOVE THEIR ORGANIC COMPOST! I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEIR OTHER PRODUCTS! THEIR PRICES VARY, BASED UPON WHAT TYPES OF COMPOST YOU HAVE DELIVERED.
