We called Green Brothers to ask about soil for a raised garden bed and then stopped in to see the available resources prior to pick up. What they offered up front was rich garden soil; they have several different types of soil, gravel, slate in piles/pits on site.
On the day of pick up, we spoke to the front end guy who was very short on his responses, not customer oriented at all, this was the first tip off that should have sent us packing. I tried to ask about the soil type, what the were actually going to load in our truck, was it for a raised garden bed, specifically growing tomatoes, herbs; he huffed and repeated his Yes-that's what you grow in with a poor attitude. The loader approached our vehicle from the back of the property, not even near the humus pile they keep on display out front. It didn't look, feel or smell enriched at all though he said again yes-yes it was.
Basically, we got fill dirt. I rechecked this with a nursery in the area that carry only bagged soil, we had been given fill dirt with no sustaining qualities for gardening. What a shame that businesses force ou to take whatever they load onto the vehicle all the while knowing the plan was for home grown vegetables.
We put this low grade junk into fill areas in the yard.
Luckily we were sent to a nursery out to Twin Branch Nursery in Woodstock Georgia that carries much better materials.
I had rented a trailer to pick up the sod and had hired help to help me with the laying of the sod which cost me more as well as put the installation into the hottest part of the day making it more difficult.
After the install I needed another pallet of sod so on Tuesday 6/3 I ordered it.
On Saturday 6/7 I awaited a call from Green Brothers. When I had not heard from them by 9am I called them. I spoke with Sheila who told me that she was just about to call me. She told me that my Sod was there and ready for pickup.
Less than an hour later I received a call from Mike stating that they had sold my pallet of Sod to someone else. He said he was sorry but did not have any solution for me other than I am sorry.
