Main's Landscape Supply - Southfield

Bought 5 yard of Lawn Mix Soil. It’s a compost, dirt and sand. Price was good, delivery professional. But the quality of the result was really surprisingly bad. Here’s the description from the website: “ As with all of our bulk soils, it has been screened to eliminate debris like rocks, roots & sticks, however, the screening process does not eliminate potential weed seeds.” But what I got was definitely NOT screened. Not even close. I got fist sized clumps of gray clay, branches, mulch, golf ball sized gravel, and so much large pea gravel that if they mix by weight, I don’t think there couldn’t be have been much sand present at all. And not enough sand means not great water flow for my new grass, which is what I bought this mix to prevent. Be warned. It looks fine when it’s dumped. All the gravel was covered in dirt so it looks fine and like little mud balls. But after a rain and watering all I see is a lawn of much and gravel, not top dressed dirt. If you buy this, have a bucket of water present to dump a sample in, swish it around, then dump out to check for those dirt covered rocks and mulch. Don’t let them leave and don’t sign for it until you’ve assured yourself of correct screening. By the time I realized something was up, I still have 4 yards of dirt on my driveway, and by the time I realized how up, my “lawn” got turned into a death trap for my poor mower. Seriously yikes. Pictures are pretty much random from around my lawn. Branch was part of the “mulch” category, if the biggest offender. Grass in picture is original grass I topdressed, not new sprouts, just so you’re clear on the size scale. Like I said, much and gravel.

I've purchased shredded bark from Mains for about the last 15 years. They provide a quality mulch product at a very reasonable price. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, and the driver always calls to let me know when I can expect my delivery. Lewis was the driver who delivered today and he did a superb job getting into my narrow driveway to unload the mulch where I requested.

Great transaction from start to delivery. I ordered online and received a call quickly to confirm. The mulch looks great. Lewis delivered on time and backed into our narrow driveway with no difficulty.

Everyone from the staff in the office to the delivery driver Roger were great. Ordering was easy and efficient. Staff was professional and pleasant. Roger the driver dropped the mulch perfectly, was very careful in avoiding trees and other obstacles. Even though it was past the end of his usual day he was friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Main and they will continue to be my go to for landscaping needs.

Main's Landscape Supply is great to work with. Ordering over the phone was so easy. Delivery was as promised. My delivery guy, Roger, was so polite, friendly and concerned about my property. The quality of the mulch is always exceptional. We love doing business with Main's every year!
