J & R Garden Stone

I’ve known Jason for years. He is a top-notch guy. They have top quality products at great prices! I recommend them to anybody.

I was looking for wall caps and a fireplace hearth and finally came to J&R after going 6 other places. Chris helped me out and was fantastic! I wasn’t sure about his recommendation, but took a sample home and it was perfect!! I love the final look and I’m thrilled the hearth is one piece with no seams. Thanks Chris for going above and beyond to help me complete my project!

My first order years ago went well. That was before I knew much about large dirt, rock, and mulch orders. I have since ordered here at least three times and also ordered a few other places. Probably spent about $2000 over the course of three years. Originally got around 10 ton 3/4 rock which is measured by the ton. Considering jr measures by the ton (0.8 yards) and franklin stone measures by the yard, I’d recommend franklin stone (same prices). The franklin stone had less pieces smaller than 3/4” too. I also would be willing to bet jr stone measures their loads by weight and franklin stone does not. It seems like when I measure my orders post delivery, I get very near exactly the yard-age ordered. Sometimes it feels like 0.2 yards less counting wheel barrow loads. Also could just be a bit stuck in the truck (that can happen to anyone). I think i got 52 wheelbarrow loads for an order of 16 yards which felt a bit low, but I could’ve been over filling the wheelbarrow also the load seemed to almost cover what I had measured anyways. With other places you feel like they give a little extra which can be either good or bad. Good if you can find a spot for it. Bad if you’re on a tight timeline. After ordering several different large orders of each material type, im 50/50. I feel like you can get more for your money in most cases somewhere else. I will still order here when it makes sense. The topsoil looked to be reasonably high quality (high clay content but dark brown indicating some biological activity). I don’t know where it came from but it looked like it could’ve come from an area that is routinely wet (not that that means anything). I’ve also bought fill dirt elsewhere before which was definitely 100% clay. So this order initially seemed better than the last random place I went with. Unfortunately, mine somehow ended up being mixed with a bunch of rocks (around 3 wheelbarrow fulls or 18 cubic feet). Most rocks are larger than my hand. Normally I wouldn’t care about the rocks but I live on an unusual property which has been tilled fairly deep and there were previously little to no rocks here. So i had to strain the dirt myself. It’s no problem, i just had assumed top soil meant the dirt was strained as opposed to fill dirt. Just something to be aware of. Also it did seem like they ran the tiller through the clay dirt order, which I greatly appreciate. The mulch seems like the best price I could find locally. It looked to be at least double if not triple shredded, and composted for probably about 1.5 years (18 months). It fed the trees quickly and was utilized well. The color stayed after rain storms and still is uniform and consistent to this day. In the future I think I’m just going go with a local tree company though and let nature do it’s thing. Overall im mostly satisfied, but i’d still recommend shopping around a bit and asking people what “good dirt” is and what it is strained through or tested with.

If you want to get completely ripped off this is your place. They delivered overfilled bags, left them on my front driveway. Left the palettes & bags and they delivered too much, which they admitted too. Now they won’t come back and pick it up the extra product. I also ordered river rock, looks like they stole it from a river, the rocks are coated in mud, they are heavy and cement like. If you’d like to be screwed around by the customer service, manager and delivery person this is your place. They also didn’t even send me an estimate for the amount they charged me. They are scammers and I will be taking this to all social media so everyone knows. Worst customer service & highly disappointed for their lack of accountability for a stolen product. HORRIBLE, run don’t walk away from them

J&R is a top notch operation. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they offer great pricing and and are able to accommodate projects of all sizes. As a homeowner this is an ideal place with great products, team, and value. Highly recommended!
