They have so many great things for decorating around the yard and pond, and most of it I have not seen anywhere else. Their koi are lovely, and what a selection! We have had our koi pond for over ten years, and have always heard great things about this place, but never got around to going there until last month. So happy we went! Love their selection of pond plants! I couldn't resist when we went there and have been thrilled with how well all of the plants have done since bringing them home! Most of all, they are knowledgeable and helpful! We had a leak in our pond and about a thousand questions. They know their stuff! No hard sell, no judging you on how you installed this or that, just great advice and helpful information. Yep, I am definitely a fan!

The chips are fantastic on my pathways in my garden, and we're easy to install. I appreciate you Applied Organics!

Most people usually don't get very excited about compost, but good compost is something I dream…read moreabout. I was very eager to try out their products having driven by the various locations around the city and noticing their fancy signs. Their web page is also very polished, which exudes professionalism, quality and sleek style. Most top soil places have lackluster web pages, but not these guys. I drove over at the crack of dawn and gleefully purchased a cubic yard of their illustrious Booster Blend, which was advertised as an 'Ideal blend of compost and dairy manure'. Further described as 'Locally and organic produced from garden prunings, food products, and vegetable trimmings', this sounded like the best thing I could add to my garden to support growing food for my family with the best of the best quality nutrients. It would boost my ego as I would feel great as a responsible and caring human for sourcing a local product that didn't contribute to excessive carbon emissions due to long distance transport, unlike those 'other' soil company conglomerates where you have no idea how far they source their products from. I couldn't wait to bring my load home to show off to my family, friends, neighbour's and random passerbys and flaunt my prized purchase, which would eventually revolutionize my garden to epic levels of nutrient dense and delicious fruits and veggies to eat. I carefully covered my trailer with a tarp to protect my fresh pile of compost and manure for the journey home. Upon returning home after a perilous journey with my tarp flapping in the wind the entire way home, I was ready to get shovelling. However to my surprise, I noticed that this booster blend had an innovative sparkly effect with a rich spectrum of colors that I've never seen before in compost from other soil companies. With closer inspection, that's when I noticed that it was packed with a special unique blend of booster particles consisting of plastic bits, shredded shopping bags, chewing gum, metal and glass shards. While the price was good, the time cost of having to pick out the bits, made this purchase a lasting and memorable experience (and not in a good way). No epic stories of heroism for me. No boosted ego, just a bruised ego.

I've purchased vegetable garden mix from this company twice. Both times the service was excellent…read more We needed a LOT of garden bed fill for the biggest garden project we've ever attempted. I misjudged how much dirt a cubic yard was, so I ordered too little. I called the company and expressed my disappointment that the dirt we bought was barely enough to finish even half our projects. My fault, totally. The gentleman I spoke to brought another load! I forgot his name, I'm sorry!! I am SO happy. This dirt is full of compost and will make my veggies very happy. Thank you Cedar Grove! You've earned a lifetime customer!

We just joined Root Connection and couldn't be happier. It's an amazing place to take kiddos (they…read moreeven have their own u-pick lots!) to see how veggies are grown, there are even chicken that kids can feed. The veggies themselves are super fresh and it's a great variety. We've definitely had more variety when we were in CA since it's bigger farms but we still walked away with chard, Tokyo Bekana, 2 types of lettuce, delicious beets, herbs and more. Super happy to have access to the fresh veggies for the remainder of the season and having it be an interactive family outing and learning for our 2.5yo daughter. Stephanie and Claire are amazing and have such great customer service. Due to the heatwave we brought our fruit from the Redmond market in and in our rush, we forgot it there and by the time we got back, someone took it on accident. Stephanie called all the members with fruit pickups to see who mistakenly took it. To our surprise they found the person the day later and we're getting our fruit! (Was super sad since I couldn't find cherries and stone fruit of the same caliber at PCC yesterday).

Once we figured…read moreout a general direction to go, we contacted all of the local bambo outfits including one in Portland. After gathering way too much info and comparing, we called Cascade Gardens. George Gearhart was easy to talk to, answered a miriad of questions, then gave us a great deal on two 15 gallon Fargesia Robustas that were already 10-12' tall. There may be bigger outfits in the area but no one knew as much or had as beautiful bamboo specimins as George at Cascade. As the real estate broker, SeattleViewHomes.com I collect A+ vendors, subcontractors, tradesmen and techs. George is the latest top of the list of vendor I will refer my clients to.

George even suggested methods which didn't involve Cascade Gardens' services until later in the process, which was refreshing...I was getting good advice instead of just marketing. Thanks George! I will absolutely use Cascade Gardens and recommend them to anyone looking to remove their bamboo!

Their prices were significantly lower than the competition. So low, in fact, after the first quote, I asked the lady on the phone to run the numbers again just to make sure it was correct. I was able to buy 14 additional yards of gravel than I could have bought if I had gone with the other guys. They delivered on time and without any issues. Their drivers were courteous and professional, and very patient delivering to a bunch of amateurs wielding rakes and shovels. The families at Redemption Lutheran Church & School are very happy with the improvement to our driveway. Thanks so much!

I originally wasn't going to leave a review because the gentleman on the phone at Evergreen was…read moreinitially friendly; however, this has become such a terrible experience that I feel other gardeners should be warned. I bought $600 worth of garden soil and compost that is nothing but a disaster of sticks, rocks, plastic garbage, and is the deadest, driest soil imaginable. I see my container plants that are in regular bagged soil flourishing while the plants in the four raised beds I broke my back on filling with this garbage just stagnating. I called him mid job, saying I was new to the area and is it normal for the soil to look like this and he assured me it was. I emailed him afterwards and got a "sorry you don't like it." They should be ashamed of themselves, selling this stuff. There are other online reviews I missed that would have helped me avoid this -- I'm hoping my review here helps someone else.
