Jones Topsoil Co

Mulch and Topsoil, Stone and Gravel, Lawn and Yard Work,

About us

Jones Topsoil was incorporated in 1924 under the name Jones Fuel Co. 2015 is our 91st anniversary. We sold residential coal for home furnaces in the Columbus, Ohio area. As natural gas became the fuel of choice in the 1950’s we began hauling topsoil, sand and gravel, and limestone for contractors and homeowners. Although our corporate name is still Jones Fuel Co., we do not sell any fuel. Our topsoil has always been of the highest quality because we normally strip topsoil ahead of gravel operations. Our soil is called “sandy loam” topsoil and usually comes from along Franklin County Rivers and streams. We sell three types of topsoil. SoilPlus, which is a blended topsoil, and can be delivered with our Slinger Jones trucks, is normally used for flower beds and gardens. Pulverized topsoil is our rich topsoil run through a large grinder and made easy to work with and spread. That soil is used to level out lawns and fill areas that need built up with soil. Our regular, un-pulverized topsoil is used to fill deep holes, or when the customer is using a skid loader to spread the topsoil. We also sell and deliver high quality mulch, sand & gravel, and limestone products. Because we have so many trucks, we are normally able to deliver on the same day as the order is placed, and normally within a few hours. 40 Employees. Uses subs. Cost is determined by the job. Travel charges apply. DBA Jones Fuel Co. Previous contact - John Jones. Award winning. Additional phone - (800) 867-7645.

I KNEW THERE WAS AN APPARATUS THAT WOULD SHOOT IT IN HARD TO REACH PLACES. THEY WERE SO NICE AND THE YOUNG MAN WAS VERY EFFICIENT AND EXPERTLY GUIDED THE SLINGER OVER THE FENCE TO DEPOSIT THE SOIL. THEY WILL DELIVER ANY AMOUNT, WHERE ANOTHER COMPANY HAD A 12 YARD MINIMUM. IT'S NICE THAT DO-IT-YOURSELF PERSON CAN GET GOOD SERVICE FROM JONES. PRICES ARE COMPETITIVE AND IT WAS WORTH THE EXTRA $65 TO HAVE IT "SLUNG". THIS IS MY SECOND EXPERIENCE WITH THEM AND BOTH TIMES THE DRIVER WAS PUNCTUAL, COURTEOUS, EFFICIENT AND PROFESSIONAL. THEIR WEB SITE HAS A CALCULATOR TO HELP DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF SOIL YOU MAY NEED. THEY CAN DELIVER ON SHORT NOTICE, AS WELL AS SLING ANY AMOUNT OF SOIL YOU NEED IT A TIGHT OR OUT OF THE WAY SPOT.
Description of Work: I NEEDED 2 YARDS OF SOIL DELIVERED, BUT WANTED IT IN A SPECIFIC SPOT.

I ASKED FOR DETAILS ON WHAT I NEEDED TO DO SO THE SHOOTER COULD REACH MY YARD WITH THE SOIL, WHEN THE TRUCK ARRIVED, (WITHIN THE HOUR), THERE WAS NO SHOOTER. THEY CLAIMED I NEVER ORDERED IT AND WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE ME FOR AN ENTIRE NEW LOAD. IT WAS DUMPED NEXT TO MY DRIVEWAY AND I SPENT A VERY LONG DAY WITH A SHOVEL AND A WHEELBARROW, BUT THEY WERE PROMPT.

NEEDED A TOPCOAT OF GRAVEL FOR MY NARROW, WINDING, RESIDENTIAL DRIVE. TOOK TIME TO DISCUSS STONE OPTIONS, PRICING, AND DELIVERY OPTIONS. WHEN I CALLED BACK TO PLACE THE ORDER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PRICE I WAS QUOTED WAS QUITE LOW, (AND IT WAS IN COMPARISON TO OTHER COMPANIES), BUT THEY HONORED IT WITHOUT ANY DISPUTE. I ORDERED TWO TRUCK LOADS DELIVERED ON A SINGLE AXLE TRUCK, DECIDED THAT ONE WAS ENOUGH AFTER THE DRIVER TAILGATED IT, (GREAT JOB!), SO I CANCELLED THE SECOND TRUCKLOAD AND SAVED $160. GREAT SERVICE, DRIVER WAS EVEN 1/2 HOUR EARLY.

JONES TOP SOIL DELIVERED. THEY WERE PRETTY PROMPT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN TO ASK FOR A "SHOOTER" WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTRA $40 OR SO. I WASN'T TOO HAPPY WITH IT BEING EMPTIED HALF ON THE DRIVEWAY. THAT WAS DUE TO A TREE IN THE WAY BUT AS WE HAVE A GRAVEL DRIVEWAY THAT WAS JUST REDONE, IT WAS A PAIN. I CAN'T GET ALL OF THE DIRT OUT WITHOUT REMOVING THE GRAVEL. I JUST WISH THEY WOULD HAVE ASKED OR QUESTIONED ME ABOUT IT BEFOREHAND. I WOULD HAVE PAID THE EXTRA HAD I KNOWN.

THE SLINGER TRUCKS ARE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY. MY AREA WAS VERY UNEVEN TO START WITH BUT HE SPREAD 16 YDS OF SOIL TO DARN NEAR FINISH GRADE IN JUST ABOUT 20 MINUTES.
Description of Work: I HAD 16 CUBIC YARDS OF AMENDED SOIL (SOIL PLUS) DELIVERED AND SPREAD. THE DRIVER WAS EARLY, AND I WASN''T READY, SO HE PATIENTLY WAITED. HE EVEN GAVE ME SOME POINTERS ON HOW TO USE THE TRACTOR I WAS WORKING WITH.

WE HAD ORIGINALLY ORDERED REGULAR TOPSOIL, BUT THEIR SUPPLY WAS UNDER WATER ON THE DAY OF DELIVERY, SO THEY ASKED TO SUBSTITUTE THE BLENDED TOPSOIL. THIS WORKED OK IN THIS INSTANCE, BUT THEY CHARGED THE HIGHER PRICE FOR THE BLENDED SOIL EVEN THOUGH THAT WASN''T WHAT WE HAD REALLY WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHEN WE LATER ORDERED THE MULCH, THEY COULDN''T DELIVER ON THE ORIGINAL SATURDAY WE HAD REQUESTED (WE DID ORDER AT THE LAST MINUTE) BUT SCHEDULED TO DELIVER ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY (WHICH WAS FINE WITH US). ON THAT SUNDAY, THEY GAVE US A CALL ASKING IF THEY COULD DELIVER ON ON SUNDAY INSTEAD OF MONDAY. WE SAID NO... BUT THEY DIDN''T DELIVER ON MONDAY EITHER. MY WIFE HAD TO CALL AND GET THEM TO DELIVER ON TUESDAY SINCE THEY SOMEHOW HAD LOST THE ORDER.
Description of Work: JONES TOPSOIL DELIVERED ONE 7 CU YARD TRUCK LOAD OF PREMIUM BLENDED TOPSOIL AND LATER ONE 7 CU YARD TRUCK LOAD OF MULCH.

MEMBER WAS GIVEN NO SERVICE OR GUIDANCE. COMPANY DIDNT EXPLAIN ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF GRAVEL. THEY TOOK MEASUREMENTS OF THE DRIVEWAY OVER THE PHONE. SENT OUT GRAVEL IN A HUGE TRUCK THAT COULD ONLY DUMP GRAVEL AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE DELIVERY PERSON TOLD MEMBER HE HAD THE WRONG KIND OF GRAVEL. HE SAID HE COULD GET THE OTHER GRAVEL BUT IT WOULD COST AND ADDITONAL SERVICE CHARGE. MEMBER KEPT THE GRAVEL AND HAD TO SPREAD IT HIMSELF.
