I decided to build a custom raised garden bed for my wife...because she's awesome. I knew I needed some good dirt for the garden because every good thing starts with a great foundation.
PJ Hebert was my first stop along the route of landscape supply companies in the area. I just wanted to get a quote, check out the dirt and be on my way. When I walked into the front office, I was immediately pleased with this place. The items they had for sale were organized and the room was clean. A nice older dog was laying on the floor. The wonderful woman behind the counter greeted me with a smile and asked if I needed any help. I felt comfortable.
I told the woman I needed soil for my garden. She said they have the best sifted soil in the area. She also recommended a 50/50 blend of soil and compost to get the best results. She showed me where the bins of soil and compost were on a map of their yard and told me to go take a look to make sure it's what I want. I ventured out to the yard and inspected the soil and compost. She wasn't kidding, the soil was good quality. I'm not necessarily a dirt expert...I mean...I played in it when I was a kid. I might have eaten some too. I have also dug quite a few holes in my day...sooo...I guess I'm perfectly qualified to determine whether or not soil is of good quality.
I needed 3 yards of soil/compost mix. I also needed it delivered. I decided to make the purchase because they had the amount I needed and they also had very quick delivery. Due to the fact that I didn't shop around, I have no clue if I paid a lot or not. All I know is that once the soil was in the garden and the veggies were planted, we harvested some wonderful food. Don't take my word for it, check out the photo. Seriously, I've never seen plants grow so well.
If you are in need of really good top soil, come to PJ Hebert. They have a great local reputation and fantastic customer service. You won't be disappointed.
