I'm very happy with my latest soil delivery from Eastman Soil. This is 10 cubic yards of their (most expensive) "Raised Box Blend". I believe she said it was 30% Topsoil, 30% Compost, 30% Arbor Fines & 10% Pumice. I'm growing finicky exotic palms and tropicals, so the included pumice is going to work great. read more

Called the shop 3 times with quick questions and talked to the owner each time. She was wonderful and very straight forward. We popped by on a Saturday and were helped by her right away, she walked the lot with us breaking down pricing and options. We went with the almond, the delivery was on time, and as expected. Loved the whole process, very simple and helpful. Our neighbors gardener told us to check them out and I'd highly recommend them as well. Thanks a bunch! read more

My husband has a crop of special black raspberry plants that need repotting. It'll be a big job. I wanted to find him the best potting soil possible. I have a hobby growing organic tomatoes, basil, garlic, shallots and assorted flowers. Eastman Soil Amendments came highly recommended by some neighbors in the know. I'm always suspicious of businesses with a straight 5 star rating on Yelp. After my experience with Eastman I can see how they've earned their high rating. This is a mom & pop business. Geoff and his wife (Anna) own it and run it with kindness, decency and warmth. Their yard workman, Alberto, is lovely to deal with too. Alberto cheerfully helped me finish shoveling my soil mix into bags for me, I'm a regular at Costco. Love the place. Eastman Soil Amendments is even a BETTER deal than Costco for their potting soil mix. Bonus Tips: 1) Bring a roll of plastic garbage bags to shovel your soil into. They'll kindly lend you a shovel and buckets you can fit your bags into. 2) Double your plastic bags. Even if you think they're sturdy. Trust me on this. 3) DON''T overload your bags of soil. Trust me on this one too. 4) Bring more garbage bags than you think you'll need. 5) Bring some form of music to keep you company while you load your bags. I played my YouTube music on the ol' smartphone. read more

Just received a delivery of "Amended Topsoil #3 (Plant Mix)", and are very happy with both the product and service. I'll upload a photo to help people like me estimate how much product they need. The amount of soil in the photo is 7 YARDS (which is what we needed). Driver was friendly, and did a great job placing the soil on our tarp. Would order from them again (mulch is next). read more

We've used Eastman the last 4 years and each time, they've delivered, literally! We have a steep slope on our property that our HOA requires to be fully covered with plant material or some sort of bark. We cannot have any bare dirt showing. To comply, every year we have Eastman deliver gorilla mulch, which is the only ground cover that seems to stay in place on our slope. Their prices are pretty competitive. In years past, we've bought anywhere from 5-7 cubic yards of mulch at $50 for each cubic yard. This year, we paid $70! EVERYTHING has gone up including mulch!! Thankfully our plants are growing in so we only needed 3.5 cubic yards this year. The ladies working the front are very friendly and placing an order over the phone is quick and painless. They do deliver for a fee so if you don't have access to a trailer that can carry the material, its very helpful. Its helpful to be home when they deliver because there was one year that the driver literally blocked our front gate that leads to our front door/courtyard so we could not get into the house unless we climbed over the mound of mulch or went through the garage. Aside from that, Eastman has been very great to work with and we will continue to give them business. read more

A couple weeks back I purchased 15 yards of brown mulch from Anne at Eastman Soil. This was my 3-4 batch of brown mulch. Delivery arrived promptly, but I was soon disappointed. Apparently there has been a change in ownership and it shows. The mulch was loaded with debris to the point where I had to hire someone to screen out plastics, rubber, and miscellaneous other debris. It was a mess. I provided feedback to Anne, but she didn't really offer to make it better in any way. I would have expected better customer service from a local and reputable company like Eastman. Clearly the quality is taking a hit. So I recommend this company? Perhaps if they can get it together. read more

Beautiful soil! Excellent service! I requested a quote for 6 cubic yards of soil delivered to fill raised garden beds. Received a detailed response same day recommending their mix #2 for veggies and herbs. I called and set up a delivery for the following morning. Driver arrived an hour early. He was very professional and dumped soil exactly where I needed it. It's beautiful soil. I can't wait to start planting! UPDATE: Still amazing service, friendly drivers, and beautiful product. Cedar mulch smells amazing! read more

We've purchased from Eastman on multiple occasions. Every time they are pleasant and professional. Usually we buy some type of compost or mulch blend. Last time we bought a garden mix. read more

Top-quality soil, great service and sensible pricing. Bill and his team delivered 30 yards of 50/50 soil mix (plus gypsum) for our front yard re-sod. Product quality is superior. Ready for our new grass now that we have a great foundation of soil to work from. Thank you Eastman. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday morning and Bill was very helpful. Picked up coco peat in the blocks and worm castings for my vegetable garden. Prices here are better compared to your big box stores or online. I got 6 coco peat bricks for $10 each which are big and when I added water it almost filled up my storage tote. And a huge bag of worm casting for $25! I am def coming back again, thank you Bill! read more

I went there for a quote and his product and prices were better than other places. Mr. Eastman was very helpful in helping me pick what we need for our steep slopes, in addition to picking some DG and pea gravel to go between flagstones on our patio. He will also work out the quantity you'll need of you give him measurements. I'll be ordering soon! read more

I messaged them after hours on a Sunday looking for soil for two gardening boxes. They replied to me at 9:00 am the follow day and provided me with the necessary information through this app. I then called them and ordered over the phone. The driver arrived at my house the same day with 3 yards of top soil at 11:00 am. Yes, the whole transaction took 2 hours and this was a non rush order. There service allowed me to complete my project on the same day. The driver was friendly and dumped the soil where I needed it. I was very pleased and will definitely use them again. read more

Great experience. Anna was so helpful both over the phone and in person. Ordered and had a large load of mulch delivered to my home. Delivery driver (from an independent company) was excellent and thoughtful. Of the 3 companies I called and visited for quotes, eastman soil was by far the best! Thank you read more

Make doing business very easy! Thanks for the quick service. I went in thinking I'd only be getting a quote for 3 yards of mulch, but I ended up getting it delivered that day and spending the 100 degree hewt wave shoveling it thay day! In all seriousness its nice to have family owned and operated companies in the community. We shared some laughs and views in the current conditions of the country. Keep working hard and being honest! read more

Great quality product! Highly recommended. Ordered 6yd of redwood mulch. Much superior quality compared to others. Quick delivery, just within a couple of days. Will order again! read more

Super friendly and knowledgeable! The 420 mix is great at a good price. A lot cheaper than buying in a bag from a shop. The mix drains very well which allows for massive tooth growth. The worm casting they have are also great. I would recommend this place for any of your growing needs 420 or veggies. read more

Awesome for all your soil needs. The owner is a good guy and is very helpful. I love all their soil mix options and they have nice size cococoir blocks read more

Best soil for our veggie bed. We failed 2 times previously with raised beds and we think one factor was poor soil from the local store. So happy to have found Eastman. Best soil and great customer services. Definitely highly recommend. read more

Very poor customer service. Eastman's idea of a "yard" was not acceptable to me. Be very careful when doing business here- they will tell you whatever you want to hear until soil is delivered and they have your money. There are many soil and amendment suppliers in North San Diego county, and I would suggest going with someone different read more

As a woman at a male-dominated business, sometimes I feel like I'm getting ripped off or - worse - patronized. Not at Eastman Soil Amendments! After I admitted my complete lack of knowledge when it comes to dirt and mulch, Bill took the time to explain to me the differences in what I was looking at without being condescending. The man who helped me cover it was super helpful too. read more

I've been a regular at Eastman for my new landscape for my home. I wish to recommend their cactus mix. I've purchased over 30yards of it to replace my rock/clay (Carlsbad, CA) native. Planted several drought tolerant specimens of cactus, draceana draco dragon trees, agave, aloe, leucadendron, and oramental grasses. All have been growing exceptional over the past 2 growing seasons. Thanks Bill, love the cactus mix. read more

They came out to Valley Center quickly. Dumped it where I wanted it. Good quality and great service! Will order more soon.

I have a feeling this was the first of many visits. Quality products and good prices. It's a learning process for us so we will definitely be back. Sandy in the office is a wonderful lady, a pleasure to deal with her! Thank you Eastman. read more

Eastman Soil is the place to go for mulch. Great choices and service. Bill was extremely helpful. And talk about punctual. We live in San Clemente and delivery was set up for 8 a.m. At 7:59 I heard the truck in front of our house. 10 minutes later the driver was gone! I HIGHLY recommend using Eastman soil and will use them again. read more

Bill has the best soil around! We were told by experienced friends that for a successful garden, you must invest in "good dirt". We couldn't have been more thrilled with the results of our very first veggie garden!! We'll be headed back this week for amendments to prepare our plot for spring/summer. read more

We were in need of a decent amount of mulch quickly during our construction project and Bill, Scott and their crew were awesome to work with. They came out quickly to assess the situation and were able to provide a much better solution than others had presented us with. Being a local company they were very engaged in the project. They brought in a crew to pull up some stumps and quickly grade out the area before having the mulch delivered. The guys spreading the mulch were really thorough and did a great job getting good coverage all around. The cost of it all was extremely reasonable and we won't hesitate to reach out again if we are in need of soil, additional areas covered in mulch or other such projects. read more

Nice,honest guys ...we were looking to have soil delivered and even though the job was too small to deliver, they were nice enough to tell us how much and what kind of soil we would need! read more

I bought 7 yards of veggie mix for raised planter beds. It drains well but that's about it. It has a ton of sand in it and hardly any organic matter and want to warn that this stuff is terrible!!!!! Nothing you can do about it once it's dumped on your yard. read more

Had 10 yards of their amended topsoil #3 delivered last week. Delivery was seamless and the soil quality is top notch. Will be coming back to Eastman for all my soil and mulch needs in the future! read more

These people are great, good customer service, on time and quality soil...(don't get them confused with Great soil LLC and its shifty owner, Greame who is the neighbor near Eastman Soil...he pretends he has good quality like Eastman soil...or steals Eastman soil customers without letting them know he is a totally different company!) read more

He actually delivered my soil today and suggested the best spot to drop the 7yards and he hit his drop mark exactly into the blue tarp. Friends always ask me how do you get your yard to look this amazing and I tell them honesty it all in the soil. read more
