The poor service and apparently rude and incompetent drivers is unfortunate. Just so everyone knows this is a new owner. The previous owner Russ sold the business last year and moved out of state. it is apparent the new owner who has no clue what they are doing by some of the reviews I have been reading. I guess I will go to my new favorite place to get landscape materials. The prices are good and the product is excellent. http://nwlandscapesupply.com/ located at 6619 212th ST SW in Lynnwood. read more

This place is great, proving sand, crushed rock, bark and perfect mixed garden soil. I've picked up many small truck loads and the office staff and loading crew always are prompt and quick to load out. Highly recommend this place for anyone needing landscaping materials and perfect place for the do it yourself homeowner. read more

I had no intention of ever buying crushed rock or having a large pile of it delivered to my house until my wife informed me that the dirt walkway next to our deck needed some attention from me to keep the dog from tracking mud on the carpets throughout the house. I Googled a website and found a calculator to learn how much crushed rock I needed to buy in order to cover the dirt pathway. According to the calculations 3 yards was what I needed and my back had an achy twinge in anticipation! I have driven past Sure-Would many times on Highway 99 just north of Home Depot and noticed the trucks, loaders and piles of various ground cover supplies like sand, bark dust, river rock and the washed crush rock we needed to purchase today. We parked my pickup and walked into the office to inquire with about the three yards needed and curious how big a load my pickup would carry. I was informed by the owners daughter Abbie that their $30 dump truck delivery fee was certainly a better option than a half a dozen trips or more with my little Dodge Dakota! We were informed they would deliver this afternoon and I could look forward to a sunny Sunday loading and pushing wheelbarrow loads of this crushed rock across my back yard to keep my bride happy. We stopped at QFC on the way home and picked up some cold beer for my Sunday project. Work goes better with a Stella! Sure-Would staff was friendly and easy to deal with both at their location and the truck driver that delivered right on time. The only way this could have been any better is if the driver had stayed and helped shovel as his back is a whole lot younger than mine! Next weekend.......The Rug Doctor! read more

Sure Would has always been great for me. You'll see some complaints in the reviews that they order the wrong material. All customers should look at the material in their yard before ordering. I'm a retired contractor so I get how the system works. Sometimes material can come from the same supplier and it will be different from last time. Its natural material. Sure Would is not a big box store that takes back material that the customer doesn't like. They have always had great customer service and I appricate their personal service. Thanks Brian read more

Been going here for years, but the service has slowly gone done hill. Picked up several loads of gravel, but it's been muddy and hard to work with. They take about a 10' run with the loader before getting to the pile, so it's got a bunch of dirt in it. I brought it to their attention, but they seemed to really care less. Twice now it's been an argument about how I want the product scooped, and they still really don't seem to care. All I want is to go in there, and pick up my product without the additional mud they want to include. It's not really that hard to give the customers what they want since they are the ones paying for it and having to work with it. It would also be nice if they would update their hours on their website to match the hours posted on their window. Says they're open Sat but when you go in there it says on the window they are closed Saturdays. I guess that just tells you the level of service you can come to expect when you go there. I believe this is a family run business, but they sure don't treat their customers like they are part of it. Found a place in Lynnwood called NW Landscape supply that seems willing to help and keep the product clean. read more

I've used Sure Would several times over the past 20 years for bark and gravel deliveries and I was always happy with their service but this review is about my first time hauling the load myself. I needed a yard of gravel for a new walking path I dug out of the lawn in our side yard. Our lot slopes down to the street so I wanted a way to get a truck up thru the side gate and Sure Would's trucks are too wide. The only company I could find that delivered in smaller trucks but at a much higher price. I even thought about using my suv for multiple small loads. I discovered that I could rent a flatbed truck that would fit thru my gate from the orange, Big-box hardware store just to the south of SureWould. The only issue was that a full yard would overload the truck so I was very happy that SureWould was willing to load the truck 1/2 yard at a time with their loader. Also, after unloading the first load of 5/8 inch minus, I changed my mind after seeing how far the 5/8 minus went to form my base layer. I asked if I could switch to 5/8-washed for my last load. Seeing that I was hurried with my rental truck, the lady quickly and pleasantly accommodated my request with no added charge. Mission accomplished! And it wouldn't have been possible, on my budget, without SureWould. read more

Check this video out to see how the driver trashed my lawn when he drove the truck the truck into my yard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtkkXYwTRDw&feature=g-upl Driver was unapologetic about the damage. When I spoke to the owner about the damage and offered a reasonable solution ($50 for sod and topsoil) she started screaming at me and accused me of slandering her. I went with these people because they were closest to my house and least expensive; one more piece of evidence that you get what you pay for. I was left with a distinct impression that they place low priority on customer satisfaction or have any understanding whatsoever of the concept of the lifetime value of a customer. read more

I need 6 cubic yards of gravel and called for a quote and earliest delivery date. They said it would be delivered 2-3pm that day. I paid over the phone, delivery of said gravel came on time, drove w/ the bed tilted so it dumped as he drove off and driver was friendly to boot. NO complaints here and would use them for future landscape work. read more

Think Twice about buying dirt by the bag! If you can, in any-way, buy bulk, this is the place to do it! read more

Terrible experience with the lady owner / manager. Very unpleasant and unprofessional. Never going there again.

I've had great luck with Sure Would, either picking up on site or delivery. Always quick delivery and within their estimated time. Just wish they were open In Sunday's. read more

Conveniently located about 1/4 mile from Home Depot. Sure Would is quite a bit less expensive than Pacific Top Soil for gravel and drain rock. 1 yard fee is around $30.00 for most of what they carry... bark... top soil, drain rock, gravel... sand. I always pick up what I buy there in my truck, so I don't have experience with delivered products. I figure that if you are directing somone to deliver something heavy in a large truck on your lawn, you better expect to have some lawn damage. read more

Called and asked for a quote on 8 yards of gravel. Prices were good with delivery. Delivered the next day. Nice delivery driver. Good experience read more

I had a wonderful experience with this company! I called on a Monday morning and spoke with a woman about types of gravel and their uses. She helped me decide which would be the best for my project and how much I would need. The price (even with delivery) was extremely reasonable and she said they'd have it delivered the NEXT DAY! They even called and told me it would be 3 hours earlier than expected. The gentleman who dropped it off was polite and respectful, he placed the material exactly where I wanted it and took a check for payment. Overall a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for 3 or more cubic yards of material delivered to their home. read more

Edit from original post: changed my review fro 2 stars to 4 stars. Our vegetable garden is loving the sawdust/manure mix. My husband and I ordered 7 yards of compost from this company. According to their website at the time, the compost was produced by Cedar Grove. It didn't occur to me to confirm this information verbally upon ordering. The product was delivered when I wasn't home, and my husband didn't realize that what we received looks nothing like compost. It is at least 99% sawdust, with perhaps an eensy weensy bit of manure mixed in. It doesn't even look like it has been composted at all - maybe it will turn into compost in a year or so (I doubt it as there is not enough "green' material in it to breakdown all the sawdust)....but if that is the case it should not be called compost. I believe the correct term is 'ferti-mulch'. I called to clarify where the product is from and they relayed that it is in fact not from Cedar Grove but from De Jong's in Snohomish, a sawdust company. Their website has since been updated. read more

When you walk in the door you can tell its a family business, they are very kind and helpful. conveniently located on Hwy 99 a little north from home depot. they have great prices, and some of the better of products I've seen. read more

Being first time bark purchasers, we got their flier in the mail and called to order. It was suggested to order "Medium Bark" and we did... 7 yards of it. Upon delivery, the driver indicated that it was a "bit different than normal" and a bit larger but given it's all in a large dump truck, it's not like we could see it prior to dumping it out. When he left, we called and talked with the owner as it clearly was not what we wanted. The bark was in clumps, the size of rocks and the size of my hand. This was not the "beauty bark" we wanted for our yard. My husband called first and while I'm not aware of how their conversation went, there was no remedy offered. I called quickly after to see what we could do to fix it. I was NOT looking for a deal - I just wanted to know what it would cost to have them come pick up the wrong bark and deliver what we were really wanting. YES - I was willing to pay for our ordering error to have it fixed and get what we really wanted to have our house look nice. I spent about 5 minutes on the phone with the owner where I got a lecture about how I ordered the wrong thing, they delivered what I ordered and how he has nothing but happy customers and others picked up the exact same bark today. I sat there listening for a while when all I wanted was to know how I can simply fix the ordering issue. No solution was offered and he was so upset with us for calling to complain that I don't think he was willing to listen and understand that I was actually trying to pay to fix our error. I ended up letting him know that I was unsatisfied and disappointed and would rate his business accordingly. At this point, we either rent a chipper and break down these rocks or craigslist it as I want my house to look nice and I'm not putting forth the effort to lay out 7 yards of bark that isn't what we wanted. Again - our fault for ordering the wrong thing but the customer service here was dissatisfying and I would not recommend them in the future. Our first clue should have been the driver saying it is a bit "different than normal". Follow-On: The owner called my husband back and left a voicemail saying that he felt bad. He offered to send new bark at the same price, if we rent a uhaul truck and return the bark to him. Now I have to rent a uhaul to return 7 yards of bark that they warned us was not "normal"? We are 2 working parents with opposite shifts and 2 very little kids. We cannot and DO NOT have time to rent a uhaul and do this - hence why we were willing to pay! Very frustrating. Please note that I am more than willing to remove or re-write this review IF a solution is offered where YOU will pick up the 7 yards of bark and deliver the correct bark -- even if it is on my dime. A solution that requires me to rent a uhaul truck, get 2 carseats in it and have them sit in the truck while I take 2-3 loads of bark back to you is not an option. read more

My husband and I purchased ten yards of garden bark and it was delivered today. It is by far the best bark we have ever purchased. The bark is a good size and there was absolutely no rocks, concrete or other materials we have experienced from other companies. The pricing is excellent as is the quality. Delivery was extremely timely. I would encourage other gardeners to try Sure-Would. You will not be disappointed. S & D Grimm read more

We have ordered from them multiple times over the past few years and they're always friendly, quick and have great prices. The driver even remembered us and asked about our kids. He went to great lengths to align the truck so it would dump the contents onto our tarps and was very mindful of the surrounding landscaping. I'm about to order some more stuff from them right now. read more

I ordered 15 yards of top soil and it was delivered the next day. I was a little overwhelmed when it was delivered and thought I had ordered too much. After that load was wheelbarrowed to the back yard I had to order 10 more yards. The 1st batch was relatively clean. The 2nd batch wasn't as clean. It had pieces of broken glass and plastic in it as well as pieces of branches that had not decomposed yet. Would I order again from them? YES I would. Their rates are very good and their delivery time is spot on. Picking out the undesirable stuff was a minor inconvenience and not necessarily their fault. I blame it on their source. read more
