This place rocks, literally and figuratively! LITERAL: All kinds of rocks, from smooth, tiny pebbles to big, edgy boulders, can be found here. The variety of gravel is displayed right outside the main building, so a short stroll will bring you across everything they have. The name of each collection is clearly labeled, so customers can match the look to the pricing sheet. Once you decide what material you'd like, pull your vehicle around the simply-laid and paved path to the pile of your choice. The employees will take care of loading, and while they try to be mindful of your car's load capacity, that's something you'll want to know coming in. FIGURATIVE: The customer service is sincere and sweet! The lady we met in their spacious, air-conditioned building walked us outside to a patch of gravel we might have missed, explained the whole process mentioned earlier, and invited us to ask questions as needed. The guys who helped load were as friendly as they were efficient. And the real kicker--they've accounted for the Kids! There's a Dig Zone on the north side of the building where our Kiddo hung out for a little bit. It would be even better with some sort of cover overhead but that it's there at all is so cool. For your landscaping needs, go 'by the yard' for service ans selection that go the extra mile! read more

I visited the yard last weekend, and Gabi (or Gabe, I hope I got his name right) was fantastic and super helpful. I highly recommend paying them a visit; you can't go wrong with the pricing either. read more

Well, I was back for more gravel to finish out what I had started a couple of weeks ago. Although the prices had gone up (like everything else in the world) , David, Chris and Miguel took care of me with great service. Miguel delivered as he did last time and put the gravel right where I asked him to, and swept up the scatter. Soon I will be back for some top soil. read more

Highly recommend. We purchased several yards of material & some flagstone. Checked out several other places before By The Yard Materials. By far the best selection, prices were competitive, service was terrific, & delivery was as scheduled (notified vis text when the material was being load & when it was on the way with an estimated delivery time). Will definitely use them again for our landscaping material needs. read more

I drove by this business many times admiring the windmills on display. I finally had the chance stop and shop. They have a nice selection of yard decorations. I was greeted when I walked in the door. Miguel answered all of my many questions about the windmills and wall decor. I will be buying my windmill once I figure out the right size for my space. read more
