Main's Landscape Supply
About us
My family has owned and operated Main’s Landscape Supply in Southfield Michigan for 3 generations. We were recently recognized for being the 2nd oldest company in the City of Southfield, and I can remember picking raspberries at my Dad’s original truck yard here on Telegraph Road back when Telegraph was a dirt road. Even my staff is like-family…most of them have been with me for 25 or more years. My Dad built Main’s on the foundation of hard work, honest service, hand-shake integrity, and fantastic value. Our long-time customers know that we refuse to sacrifice product quality and honest quantities for the sake of making a quick buck. We have been leading this industry for over 65 years because nobody does it better! Our family-owned, local business appreciates your support, and we look forward to making you a customer for life! 9 employees. Please call to schedule. Do not use Angie's List message center.

Their website is great. Easy to navigate options for bulk products, including all their soil types. There are pictures of what the dirt looks like, and a description of what it's used for. The table for delivery charges is clear and very informative, so I knew how much my order should have costed before I called. The dirt was $20/ sqyd and the delivery was $50. I was kind of bummed that delivery was going to be so much compared to the cost of the dirt, but that seems pretty standard as I surveyed other companies. If I had my own truck, I think i could have gone to pick it up for no extra charge.
When I called, the rep answered quickly and took my order courteously and professionally. I paid over the phone by credit card. She said the truck would arrive the next day from 11-1pm. I asked her to tell the driver to drop the dirt and quot;on the tarp on my driveway.and quot;
The driver showed up the next day at 11am sharp. He handed me the pink invoice copy and backed into my driveway. Unfortunately, the truck was too big to make it to the back section of my house, so i dragged the tarp closer to the front, and he dumped the dirt (mostly) on it. My tarp wasn't near big enough to hold it all, and some dirt fell onto my neighbor's yard. I would have been annoyed but ... I'm not really sure how that could have been avoided given the size of my driveway and the amount of dirt 3 sq yds represents.
The driver was courteous, didn't run anything over, and scooped up some dirt that was left in the truck and threw it onto my pile. All in all, it went well.
I'd definitely use Main's again. I checked out one other website (via Google, not Angie's List) and they seemed to have similar prices. A lot of landcaping supply companies have awful websites, but Main's was easy to navigate and understand.
I'll lay two tarps out next time, though!
Delivery was on time, handled well.
I was pleased with both the company and it's personnel and would use
them again should the need arise.
Everything was done very well
