If the pandemic and working from home have you feelin' some type of way, might I suggest gardening?…read more Hear me out. Plants are like children that can't yell or throw things at you AND they provide you with edible sustenance. Tending a garden carries all the joys of parenting minus the snot and poo diapers. I call that a win. If you feel convinced to take up gardening, look no further than Earth First for all your soil needs. I highly recommend using compost to fill a raised garden bed (and mix in a couple bags of Miracle Gro while you're at it). One scoop of compost from Earth First is $16. So. Cheap. You will need a trailer or a truck bed for the compost to be scooped into so begin complimenting your friends with said trailer/truck now to hopefully utilize their services if you don't already have one. If you're only getting compost, you don't need to go onto the scales first. Simply drive in (carefully!) and wait for a person on a loader to pull up next to you. Be prepared to yell a little because those machines are loud. Tell the driver what you want and how much (half a scoop, one scoop, etc). Then sit back and wait for them to load up and dump the compost on your trailer/truck bed. It's kind of an honors system, but you pay at the far left window on the white building. They take cash or credit. If you want rock or mulch, of which there are a million options, you do need to weigh your truck/trailer first and then weigh again once you've been loaded. Those are priced by weight versus a scoop like the compost is. Earth First does deliver, but they charge per mile so be aware if you don't live near a physical location.

Earth First has drive thru for your orders. They sell everything for your outdoor needs. Very…read morefriendly service too.

After finding Nick's (Big Guys Professional Services) phone number in a post from a Meadow Vale…read moreresidents I called him about shoveling my driveway. He quickly pulled up a Google view of my property. After a brief discussion of the areas, he provided a price and said he and his crew would see me later that day. Very late that day, he texted that they would arrive after stopping for a quick dinner. Although it was dark, he and his team began shoveling. They did a great job of clearing my walkway and driveway. The fee was as he had quoted me during our call. I felt lucky to have found Nick. Based on the services I received, I felt the price was fair, and the work was good. And while I hope we don't have any more snow to shovel this year, I will keep him in mind for my spring hardscaping, landscaping, and fencing needs. (502-303-6469.

There are multiple greenhouses on the property. I came in with a plan of what I needed and of course, ended up leaving with more. From speaking with the owner (Steve) and Mel (who may be the manager?), I learned that they have plans for expansion and they hand grow most, if not all, of their flowers and plants. I haven't seen flowers this beautiful at any of the other big box stores around. All of the employees have been friendly and have had great recommendations for me. I'm trying a few new flowers this year because of these recommendations. I look forward to their expansion/move and will continue to shop here for my landscaping needs.

During the project he moved an expensive piece of outdoor furniture and did not move it back after completing it, because of where and how he left it, it ended up being damaged and having to be replaced. I provided all the information to him about the original cost and the cost of replacement (which was less than what I originally paid), explained my attempts to get just parts for it from the manufacturer instead and the video of it being damaged. He never responded to my request for remedy of the damaged furniture when I sent him the proof of price. The rock work was okay. He changed the scope in the middle of the job and didn't finish one section of it, so I got pretty confused on how the final invoice amount was arrived at. From the amount of work and materials we removed from the quote midway through the project to the final product, it didn't seem quite right. Also, he didn't put the landscaping fabric under the edging, so I have a ton of unexpected weed control I have to manage now when the purpose of installing the rock was to be lower / easier maintenance because, again, I have a disability that affects my mobility. He's a hard worker I just wish he would have made things right regarding my damaged property. He told me his insurance doesn't cover wind damage and did not offer any other remedy. If he'd worked with me to replace the furniture that was damaged, I would have given him a higher rating, but as it is, this is my honest opinion of the value, quality and overall customer experience I received. I can't recommend this business at this time and will be letting the division of Yelp that oversees contractor recommendations know as well since I found him through them.
