I am writing this review in hopes to warn both horse owners/ranchers and homeowners in the Ocala Florida area. this place reeks of a scam.
My personal experience was first, i of course saw their huge billboard on HWY 40 heading east toward Dunnellon/Rainbow Springs stating they offer wood shavings and peanut mulch for livestock stalls. i wanted the peanut mulch for my landscape as i am reseeding my lawn. so i look up the business via internet and make the call.
first alarm goes off in m head as the lady who answers the phone and apparently takes orders for customers, is not at the business, at home as she says and has to find a pen and paper.maybe i thought i caught her off guard so i let it roll.
i asked to have 20 yrds of peanut mulch delivered and ask them to call before they come so i can make payment with my credit card.also gave specific directions since my property has 2 entrances.
the next day the driver just shows up with a dump truck knocking on my front door, but i havent made a payment yet (second alarm). the driver keeps stating how busy he was and asking me where to dump it. i of course "wait a minute i need to pay for it first". the driver gets mouthy and pushy " where do i dump, here? whats the problem, im just to pick up check" . i stated that i asked you people to call first and ( alarm 3) he lies and says he has been calling all morning, yet not a single call.yet he still seems so anxious to dump this load and run off with no money???
so i walk behind the truck and take a smell, as peanut mulch SHOULD have a fairly strong peanut aroma. nope smells like landfill garbage. so i ask, " how many yards you have in there?" 20-25 he says " i dunno, my brother he messed up". i tell them to leave and get their act together.
the website says they have been in business for 20 yrs, yet after 5 search engines on businesses and not finding any reviews ,me having to ADD them here,and them not being customer savvy enough to secure payment before delivery , id say thats a bunch of hooey. stay away and please warn ranchers etc. i dont want any animals harmed as i have 4 pets that would have been subjected to whatever he was hoping to dump on my property. read more
