I have had them deliver dirt to my house 2 years in a row. They are near my house so I like supporting small local businesses. Their prices are reasonable and they deliver exactly when and what they promise. And the staff I have dealt with are friendly and knowledgeable. I will use them again in the future for any landscaping projects. read more

Rob and crew did the most amazing work installing my new sod lawn in front and back. I received so many compliments on my lawn. They were the hardest working guys in all the heat we had this summer. I was so happy to have green instead of mud in my brand new build. I will be having them servicing my lawn to keep it up. Their prices are the best and they use the best products you can see the difference in other jobs done by other companies. My neighbor loved it so much he had them do his too. Rob is a great person to work with and the nicest guy! Thanks Rob! read more

First off, these reviews are kindof mixed up because kern offers who separate services. I can only speak to the purchase of bulk goods from the landscape supply store, but I've been there a half a dozen times to get mulch, sand, and class 5 and as long as you know what you need and don't fuss about, you'll be in and out of there within 5 min. The counter attendants have always been friendly and helpful. Plus the prices are way better to buy in bulk here than buy bags and bags of over priced stuff from box stores and then need to dispose of all that plastic. If you have a truck or trailer and the means to get your landscape stuff here, I highly recommend it! read more

Kerns Landscape is our Lawn and Snow Removal Service. They are the worst at BOTH!!!!!! The people that work on the crews don't care what anything looks like when there done, missing large swathes of grass all over the entire complex. Then when the edgers come thru it's the same thing. They don't edge half the sidewalks or sides of buildings. When attempting to snow plow they pile the snow at the end of sidewalks so you can't even get into the parking lots. When snow blowing sidewalks and walkways they don't even clear the full width of the walkways. The resident are sick of the POOR Quality of SERVICE. we are now in the process of having them removed as our Providers. You CLOWNS at Kerns need to realize that there are so many Landscape Services available that all you need to do is throw a rock in any direction to hit a Landscape Service that will actually do the job they were hired for and not rip off customers. read more

Terrible service for small amount buyers. The person in the counter was not ready to sell me anything.

I ordered bulk soil during the COVID pandemic. Their website said it would take 2-3 days to process the order due to high demand. The confirmation email said it would take "a few business days" to process my order. It's been nine days and I haven't heard a thing from the company about my order. I called and no one answered. I had called twice before placing my order, leaving a message once, and never heard from anyone either. If you're more than week behind fulfilling orders be up front about it so people can adjust their expectations. Keeping customers waiting three times the estimated delay is disappointing. read more

Great service, great pricing. Social distancing too! Here is how it went down: I pulled up, walked in, ordered 1 cubic yard of organic growers blend, paid, and they loaded the back of my pick up truck. All in under 10 minutes! Are you kidding me? No I am not! You cannot beat that. read more

Ordered topsoil online and received a confirmation call from Kern before the end of the day. Ordered on Friday with a delivery request for the following Monday. 5 cubic yards were delivered before noon. Friendly driver who dumped the topsoil where directed. Receipt provided. This was a great experience! read more

This place is terrible. Customer service and follow up are worse than you can believe.

One star to many..The man named John Kern who runs the snow removal for these folks, does the snow removal for my elderly mothers neighbor. His crews have repeatedly for 2 years use my mother's yard to dispose of the snow, they have burried her furnace intake and gas meter numerous times, blowing snow into he already cleared walks and steps. They have been also asked many times to stop. This last snow fall April 2018, they burried her sidewalk, furnace vents and part of her steps. I called and spoke with someone on office the woman she was sending a crew out to clean up their mess, they never showed up, I then called him the next day, I very nicely explained the ongoing problem, asked if they were still coming to do clean up. He informed me this was the 12th heaviest storm in 20 years. I replied, it's and on going issue, we need to come to a better solution, he just kept telling me it was a bad storm. Really? It dont care if its 3 inches or 20, do not dump the snow on my moms property. He was rude. In the end, we got no resolution. We have owned that property for 43 years and NEVER had this issue until his company came along. He was rude and unprofessional. I would not recommend this company. read more

See all

I would give them minus stars if it were possible. "mulch" contained plastic chunks, and not just a few pieces, large chunks and bits of plastic landscape material. They call it mulch, but it is really recycled yard waste that they charge people to dispose of, and then re-sell it as "mulch" . Sharing other peoples yard waste is dangerous and promotes the spread of invasive species. read more

Went for a load of class 5. Guy behind the counter was super helpful. Had me out of there in 5 minutes, and seemed to know what he was doing. Gravel looks great. read more

I have purchased compost and mulch from Kern's for the last 9 years. They have the best quality compost in town. Their compost makes my landscaping business look good. The staff is friendly and they also accept garden and lawn refuse which they turn into a leaf compost. I use their leaf compost for lawns, it makes grass seed pop! I use their farm-post and barley compost for annual and perennial gardens. The poo and barley together make the plants grow super fast! read more

If I could rate a zero I would. BAD SOIL!! Nothing grows right. Peter Kern came out and was a condescending jerk! There's residual herbicides or something stunting plant growth and he just wanted to blame one set of dog tracks through my garden! I had a soil test done by the U of M and he didn't even want to see the results because it pointed to unhealthy soil!! Unwilling to listen and was too busy blaming the seeds (which were from 3 separate organic commercial sources, one of which I've been buying from for years). WASTE OF $600. Should have listened to other people that said this guy was an a-hole. Do NOT buy. Plus there's lots of glass and plastic in the compost!!! read more

$75 delivery fee and the truck driver will NOT bring my compost and mulch up my driveway, despite the fact that when I bought it I told them it had to be dumped in the back yard. Driver won't do it. I tell him if he can't, he needs to take it away. I'm on a city street and there's no easy parking. We need to be able to pull in the driveway. He tells me he's going to charge me for everything no matter what. and he's yelling at me. He dumps it so NO ONE can get in. All he had to do was pull the truck back four feet but refused. I took photos and called the office. Poor woman says," It's the OWNER who did that. He gets that way." Do you want to support a small business owner who charges top dollar ($205 for enough dirt and mulch for 8 x 8 garden) AND gives you awful service??? read more
