I've been there three times to get some mulch, and always nice laid-back people to work with. They aren't salespeople, and they aren't angry/uncaring staff - it's a pleasant experience when I go there. This might sound like something a salesman would say, but trust me :-), I'm no salesman... I like the way they have the drive-thru all setup - easy to see where to drive to get them to dump it into your truck bed. If you're going there via the 15 freeway, off Bundy, it is quite a distance, and hard to know if you've passed it on your first visit. But keep going... you'll know it when you see it. So why only 4 stars? I actually wanted wood chips, as used in the Back to Eden movie for improving the soil. But tree services seem too unpredictable - I can't accept 15+ yards of wood chips for my project. If SoCal Mulch would provide some 'just cut yesterday wood chips' options, I'd give 5 stars. My need for them is pretty limited (a couple yards and then I'm good for a few years) and it may not make sense for them to do that. But that's where I am with it. Maybe they could add a notification setup - we have fresh cut wood chips - first come first served? read more

I was recommend by my next door neighbor , bought 50/50 mix . The staff is very friendly and straight to the point, easy loading recommendation use a truck is quicker, I used a Tahoe took longer to load but they have shovels, they also deliver at a reasonable price , satisfy customer will return again. read more

Well this was a bit of a rude awakening . We had purchased rock and bark from them before, a good experience , helpful folks and quality rock and bark. I've recommended them to all who asked and quite a few did follow through. So I'm driving up, money ready to buy more stuff from them. But apparently there was no interest in my business. Rude, inattentive, zero willingness to gain my business. As a matter of fact the person purportedly helping me was mostly invisible, sort of hiding from my view, never stopped working his phone and all the answers were NO. They could not get this for me, they did not carry this, they could not deliver .... no explanation , no attempt to interact with me. Ok, I get the message. You are not interested in me or my business. Why are you there? Serious bummer , wonder what happened to great folks that were there before. YMMV but for me that was enough, you wanna be in business don't do it this way. read more

Gone there multiple times. Always great service, good product and great prices. Highly recommend this place and I will continue to go back there. read more

It has been a pleasure doing business with SoCal Mulch. We've picked up mulch and rocks and have had rocks delivered to our home. We first purchased mulch and when we got home realized it was the wrong color. We called over the SoCal mulch and they were so nice about it. They took back the wrong colored mulch and loaded the correct color. Every time we've been to SoCal mulch, they're super friendly and helpful. We now drive the extra distance because we've been won over and are loyal customers read more

Have had three shipments from these guys and I just love them! Every time I call they take the time to answer any questions that I have and never try to rush me off the phone. They know their materials and are super upfront about what it can be used for. I'll keep coming back to these guys whenever I need more ranch material. read more

SoCal Mulch - Dog play yard...check. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Menifee, California

Hired So Cal Mulch to put down mulch at 3 houses for us today. After getting estimates from other companies they were $2800.00 cheaper than everyone else. They arrived on time and got right to work. I thought this was going to be a miserable chore to get done but it was nothing of the sort. They cleaned up really well and our places look beautiful. Wish we would have done this a long time ago!!!! Will defiantly use them again for other jobs :-) read more

Bruno and Aaron were very helpful giving me great directions on proper top soil to use in addition to DG and AZ River Rock I added to our Corona home. Bruno has gave me a landscaper, Paul Smith, who drew up some plans and helped with plant selection from grass to desertscape parkway. Service and pricing is terrific. Thanks guys! read more

We loved this place. Had lots of mulch choices and the staff were really nice and very knowledgeable. While we live in Escondido and it is a bit of a drive but the prices are so reasonable the drive is well worth it. They also have rocks to choose from and they also have a nice selection of those at really decent prices. This is the place to go if you are needing rock or mulch. read more

I've been building and amending my garden soil with their materials for going on 3 years now. They are friendly and helpful, and their veggie blend is insane. read more

These guys are the best!! We needed a bunch of mulch for our wedding spot at our house and they were super helpful and honest and gave us a great deal! The mulch looked perfect! If you are looking for any kind of mulch or rock this is the place to go. They are super organized and have little bins where you can see and feel all of the different types and colors. We will definitely be back! read more

I've been a customer of SoCal Mulch since 2010 and every time I go there for all my gardening needs, whether it's a weekday or a Sunday I get exactly what I need with great prices and awesome customer service especially from Joe and the guys. They all have great sense of humor, very down to earth which makes the visit very pleasant and that's why I keep coming back. Keep up the good work gentlemen and don't worry about the Negative people that you might come across because in all honesty you can never please everybody in life no matter how well they are treated so don't change a thing keep your "Bandanna's" on, and thank you for my greener backyard. read more

I just ordered a dump truck load of mulch and at the end he recalled a $100 discount that was going on after I had already agreed! Now that is customer service!! Thanks Erin, you rock! read more

I have utilized this place for both mulch and gravel over the years. I am guessing I have been there 5 or so times, and have never had a negative experience. Perhaps I am just smart about when I visit, but I have never waited in any lines and service has been fantastic. I won't be trying any other place as long as they keep performing like they do. If you are in need for some bulk mulch or rock, just drive your truck down and bring a tarp. They will make sure you are taken care of. read more

So Cal Mulch has excellent customer service as well as a great variety of mulch to choose from. I showed up on a busy Saturday afternoon to get a couple scoops of black mulch. From the time I parked, looked at what I wanted, walked in the office to pay, pulled around back to get loaded up and left, I was there maybe a total of 15 - 20 minutes. They know how to get people in-and-out in a timely manner. Will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Been buying the gorilla mulch from So Cal for 4 years now to landscape our HUGE slope in the backyard...its a work in progress! The are professional and easy to work with! There selection of mulch is incredible and prices are the best. It stayed on our slope thru all the rain this winter and doesn't wash away or blow away....retains its color etc. I highly recommend SoCal is you are in need of mulch or dirt etc! read more

Aaron and the crew at So Cal Mulch were outstanding. They were very helpful and able to answer all my questions. I will always use this company for all my landscaping needs thanks guys for all the help. read more

I called on a Monday for a Thursday delivery. Don't expect next day as they are busy and need one to day's notice. Spoke with Rick about their mulch products gave them my quantity and arranged a time. They accept credit cards over the phone, no Amex. and they will take c.o.d. Happy with the service and the product. Would call them again. read more

Great customer service, fantastic prices compared to other local places, quick and easy deliveries. The only reason I'm docking a star is I'm 100% sure they shorted me rock. I got two different types of rock, one type for two different areas. One of the rock orders was spot on, and the exact amount I needed and was expecting. The other rock for a different area was about 1 yard short maybe a little more. I had both areas professionally measured by a landscaping company, and I even ordered a little more than what I needed but was still about 1 yard short. As I said, the other area was spot on. What I ended up doing was leaving one area blank with no rock, and added more to another area. I decided just to concrete the other area rather than go buy more rock. To me personally, it wasn't a huge deal as the rock itself was a great deal so I didn't feel like I was cheated, just was a bit surprised that is all. Other than that, I highly recommend this place. I actually like the idea of concrete for the other area any way, so it works out. read more

Aaron really helped us to find the best topsoil for the school gardens. The students thank you for the weed free topsoil.

I must say that I am very impressed with the hard work and professionalism of the two guys that installed my mulch. Bruno and Adrian were terrific and worked methodically and well as a team when doing what needed to be done! read more

I live near this place,So Cal Mulch,and since I purchased a particular rock product from them in the past,in small white bag form,I decided to get more of it. Having purchased 1000's of dollars of product from Tri-State Material,which is a few miles away,my car on the day in question was filled with bags of rocks so I figured I would swing by So Cal mulch on my way home from Tri-State,since they didnt have that one product I needed.Having looked at the hours on line before I left,and knowing they closed at 5 pm I raced over and arrived at 4:46 pm at So Cal Mulch. I walked in and no customers where there,just a person behind the counter,who I asked if he would please answer a few questions on the patio,which is where they keep the product samples. First he gave me a blank stare,and then he said,we are closed!! I said you close at 5 according to your website and this will only take a minute,as I just wanted to know if you have this product I want in stock.He reluctantly walked outside,which was odd since he didnt appear to be busy with anyone on the phone or otherwise,yet seemed to no care that a customer,me,just entered and was willing to buy product.After I asked if I could get a few bags of the rock I wanted,he told me,they only sell in bulk.This was not the case 2 years ago when I bought 6 bags of the small white bag size which fits in my car and is how I purchase my products. Then he began to lecture me on how its inappropriate to enter a restaurant and place an order 10 minutes before closing and how he wasnt being RUDE when thats exactly what he was being. Since I go to Tri-State which I strongly recommend since they have excellent customer service and a huge variety of products,I have often shown up at ten minutes til closing.And while its not my goal it does happen on occasion when in a hurry,but I am always met by friendly people,both those who are in the office and the workers outside who retrieve and bag the rock.They simply go and get it or at the very least take my order and I pay and drive back the following day to pick it up.Customers are the heart of a business and if this business,So Cal Mulch treats people like sh-t which it did,than I will pass along bad reviews and tell others the truth.The man at the counter was so obnoxious not just in what he said but how he looked at me and the NASTY egocentric attitude he displayed.Then another guy appeared who was heavy set and had a bandanna over his face and looked like a gangsta not because he was black or very big but because I have never seen someone with a bandanna covering the entire face from the top of the nose down and a hat up to the eyes,who was speaking to me as a customer.I could understand if he was shoveling dusty rock outside but when inside communicating,I would think he would at least pull it down.Anyway after being told the rock I wanted wasnt in stock and only sold in hulk now,I asked if they could let me know when it comes back in and begged if I could get it in bags,and he said yes but who knows if they will ever get back to me. Honestly I wont go there again.The first time 2 years ago,I was struck by the same attitude of another 20 something guy who ran the place,who raved to me about how he makes one of the soil mixes and how he knows it all.The attitude,of being egocentric,rude,disrespectful kid who was maybe 20 years old,who put down other businesses and raved about how great their products were,was just a turn off.I have used Southwest Boulder in Fallbrook many times,which is run by true professionals,as well as Tri-Stare Material in Winchester,also run professionally.This dude behind the counter at So Cal Mulch,as others have commented,seems to have anger problems and a personality disorder and is a nightmare to deal with,dont waste your time.Go to Tri-State if you live near Meniffee, Murrieta or French Valley!!! WAY BETTER SELECTION,PRICE is about the same,and Customer service is Awesome. read more

I like their soils and ground cover but not the attitude so much. They can be kind and helpful but they can also be very temperamental and can flip on a dime and become cold, nasty and hostile. Not the worst place in my personal experience but certainly not a deep sense of commitment to the customer/public. I've used this company a lot in the past. They need to step up their game. In reading some of the other comments and reviews from other places, I don't like hearing how the public is abused by companies and personal who just want to retaliate because they are moody. Product and pricing = 5 stars but overall, 3 is the best I can do at this time. read more

I was at my wits end with my soil supplier down the road, literally .4 miles away. They were not flexible, demanded a minimum $70 delivery fee (again less than 1 mile round trip) and had no insight or help on how to use the products or the best option for my project. Needless to say i started looking around and found So. Cal. Mulch, straight away i knew i had found a permanent place to source all of my soils, mulches, compost etc.. etc.. Not only did these guys beat the product price & beat the delivery price, they took the time to explain the differences and importances of picking the very best option for every project. I have been more than satisfied with every interaction and will go above and beyond to recommend them to any one in need of their products. I will NEVER think twice about going anywhere again! Highly recommend them and don't be shy to ask questions, these guys are more tahn knowledable about what they do! read more

I recently had a delivery of Arizona River Rock from SoCal Mulch and was extremely happy with the whole process from start to finish. This company has great customer service; they are very knowledgeable and answered all my questions; this is definitely my "go to supplier" for landscaping needs. Before you buy elsewhere, you absolutely should visit this place to compare products, prices and service; in my opinion, they are the best one out there in my area. read more

These guys are awesome. Very helpful, informative, and efficient. I drive out of the way to get mulch because I know it's always a hassle free experience. read more

This place is great very helpfull staff. I used soil from another place near Perris and nothing except the weeds would grow. Have used DG/TopSoil/Sod and have been happy with everything. read more
