I love this place. Sarah helped us and she was so knowledgeable and so friendly. She listened to our needs and our likes and dislikes and steered us to a few options. Then she told us the prices so that we could make a decision around that. She was just so helpful that it made choosing the stone very simple and easy. I never expected it to be simple or easy. They had a wide selection although not everything was in stock because of the pandemic but that's to be understood. We are definitely going to buy our stones for the new patio from this store read more

J&J Materials - Coventry - the entrance to the shop - Landscaping Near Me - Coventry, Rhode Island

Let me start off the review on a positive note by saying that their yard appears to be nicely organized and very well-kept. I first visited there last fall to buy a small quantity of gravel (a few 5-gallon buckets' worth). They even let me borrow one of their shovels to fill my buckets. It was a nice, smooth transaction. So, I remembered them, and stopped there today, looking to buy a small quantity of loam (again, a few 5-gallon buckets' worth). This time, the woman in the office, who I presume was one of the owners, flat-out refused to sell me anything less than a half-yard of loam, which was way more than I wanted or needed. She blamed it on their insurance company regulations. Well, whatever, that's fine, but then she suggested that I buy a bag of loam from a big box store or nursery. I replied that I had never seen any bagged loam ... bagged topsoil or garden soil, yes, but bagged loam - well, that's a big negative. She then insulted my intelligence by saying that some people call loam or topsoil the same thing. Okay, I'm in the plumbing and heating business, and some people call a boiler a furnace, and it's NOT the same thing.... read more

We ordered some landscaping flagstone from C & A. When delivered they brought the wrong pallet. when they were informed of this the delivery guys were a bit upset which I can understand....but why was this my fault? They loaded the material back up on their truck and drove back. When my wife called to find out if we can get the stone we paid for the owner was rude and acted like we were being overly picky....I'm sorry, but when I select a particular colour of flagstone and what shows up is different, it does NOT fall on me. The owner swore at my wife and raised his voice over the situation. When I called to confront him, he used the same language. When I started to match his tone he uttered some fighting words and then hung up. Mulch 'N More opened a location literally next door and is doing a booming business. if this doesn't tell you that the residence of Coventry know how crappy C & A is I am not sure what will. Avoid this place and drive the extra 1/4 block and go to Mulch 'N More or another landscaping material lot. read more

ordered $600 of gravel to be delivered in a few days. Also purchased two buckets of stone dust for $7.45 which equals $3.73 a bucket, which I took with me the same day. The following day I went back for 3 more buckets of the same stone dust and they tried to charge me $13+ or $4.33+ each. When I complained about the price difference they became extremely rude and insisted I drive home and get my receipt for the $2.00 price difference. I did so and they claimed it was for a different product. They could of resolved my issue if they had just took the time to see what product I wanted instead of sending me home for a $2.00 receipt. Instead they became rude and defensive. I canceled my $600 order and will never do business there again. I am still waiting for the refund. One star is too much for this place. read more

Kathy and her employees are excellent. Not only do they have great prices, but they are courteous whenever I call. The gentlemen who delivered the material to my house did a great job placing the piles carefully and diligently cleaned up before leaving. I have been and will continue to be a repeat customer. read more

My husband ordered a truck of dirty to fill in the backyard. He went into C&A Landscape Materials at 1350 Nooseneck Hill Rd in Coventry RI .  My husband spoke to the Owner, Cathleen Di Prete when placing the order, which he paid for at time of order. The instruction were as follows; Deliver the dirt to our home address, and put the dirt off to the right side of the house at the end of the property, where some mulch remained.  This should not have been a problem since this company was the company we used to deliver the mulch and they had been to my property. My husband clearly communicated to Cathleen DiPrete Owner where he wanted the dirt to be delivered. On October 14, 2014, C& A Landscape delivered a truck load of dirt and the driver decided it was a good decision to dump this dirt right in front of my garage door so neither my car nor my husband' s car  could get into the garage.  I could not believe anyone could honestly be that stupid to do such ridiculous thing. My property is big enough and I have enough empty spaces where the driver could have dumped the dirt, never mine the fact my husband gave exact direction to Cathleen DiPrete Owner where the dirt was going to go. At this point I called C& A Landscape in Coventry RI, and spoke to Cathleen Di Prete Owner and told her about this situation. I told her that no one said to deliver this dirt  in front of my garage door,  and  now it's going to take hours to move the dirt. I asked her to have someone come and removed it because I could not get into my garage. Cathleen DIPete reported that the driver did not know where to dump the dirt . She reported the driver drove around and could not figure out where to dump the dirt, so he called my husband and when my husband did not answer the phone, the driver then decided to dump the dirt right in front of the garage door. I said to Cathleen DiPere Owner, Are you kidding me? My husband told you the owner were to dump the dirt , and my property  has plenty of space to dump dirt beside in front of my garage door.  Only an ignorant person would dump dirt in front of my garage door.  Cathleen DiPete became angry with me and told me she refused to do anything about it and it was not her probable. I told her this was completely unprofessional, rude, and now I had to spend hours moving this dirt in front of my garage door. Again, Cathleen DiPete Owner refuse to help me, she  told me it was not her problem and I had to deal with it. I told Cathleen DiPete Owner I was going to give this company a unprofessional , bad review, on, www.yelp.com, (which this company already has a poor review on this site), Angie's List, and facebook.  Cathleen Dipete Owner stated go ahead, I don't care, I don't need your business, then she hung up on me. Current on October 16, 2014, the dirt still sits there and now because of the heavy rain today, I now have a mud slide in my driveway in front of my garage door. We will never use this company again due to the fact of unprofessional, rude service, and poor attitude of the owner Cathleen DiPete. read more
