We've used Nimbus Landscape to deliver bark for our landscaping needs over the years. The front office is always very courteous and great at explaining the options. The delivery man arrived as promised and laid the bark where we wanted. The bark is high quality and durable at a reasonable price. read more

Delivered the wrong gravel I selected in the yard. I even showed the cashier the gravel I need. Upon delivery, it was a grey gravel instead f brown color. Notified the store immediately and spoke to the supv. but simply gave me the run around and excuses and up charge to get the correct product I paid! Employees Will not correct and will not admit that they made a mistake. Heard employees laughing in the background as well. This is how they JERK AROUND with their customer! own your mistake and correct it! you're running a local business read more

Friendly staff, great selection and very quick and reliable delivery. Really appreciate.

Nice selection of rocks. Needed medium sized boulders for landscaping. As I started selection, yard man came up immediately to assist with pulling out the heavy rocks. Made my selection and items were loaded into my car with care. Very helpful and friendly staff. Location is convenient, right off the freeway. I would recommend Nimbus Landscape for landscaping materials. read more

Nimbus was highly recommended by my neighbor and they did not disappoint. Great service. Great selection.

Drove down from Rocklin, and it was well worth the short drive! Great prices. Very helpful staff that were able to answer questions about the different garden soils. Very happy customer here that will be telling everyone that will listen to go here! I'll define back when I need anything else. read more

I've turned to NLM a few times over the last several months and have been pleased with their service, product selections, and hands-on assistance in loading up the truck. Their convenient location is another positive point worth mentioning too. Thank you! read more

The sign out front, public welcome,should read public not really welcome. I realize a business like this caters to contractors because of the volume but homeowners pay much higher margins and should be afforded a little courtesy and help beyond a smirk and price list. read more

Easy peasy process! We drove here just before the business opened and within minutes our order was placed and processed. Few hours later a friendly driver arrived with our delivery with a dump truck and our veggie soil was left on our driveway! What a doozy of a time hubby and I had shoveling all the soil onto our wheel barrow then back and forth from the backyard planter boxes and back again to shoveling from our driveway! Only half of our soil came from here as I chose organic soil from Green acres for our other half of planter boxes which came in 3 cubic bags so was easier to load onto a Dollie from the SUV then rolled to the backyard. If anything from this landscaping company is needed again surely we are gonna be repeat customers! read more

Don't come here. Went for soil and received only a little more than 1/2 of what I paid for. Customer service is terrible and no common sense. If you want customers to come back, give them what they pay for and act like you want their business. read more

Good spot to get bark. Workers are friendly. I had 10 yards delivered and the truck driver put it exactly where I wanted it. Good job!

Great service and good products. The people in the office are really helpful. I will be back

Wonderful customer service by Chris! Super fast and helpful and directed right to what we were looking for. Very reasonable prices, also! We will be back! read more

These people are not very helpful overall. And their prices are way up there compared to others. Good customer service skills in todays day and age are key. I used to come here but no longer do. Please wear your masks and have some courtesy for your locals. BTW, your locals are not Pro's. Spend the time and energy explaining the different type of soils you have. It will pay off. read more

Stopped by at lunch to grab a few bags of rock. Despite being very busy, the yard guy was Very Helpful and nice. I will be back for Bark on Saturday. read more

Only one staff member seemed to have a mask on. One of them came right up to us, no mask on. I didn't feel particularly safe because of that since my close family members are higher risk. No physical distancing. He was friendly, but the service provided was marred by him not at least attempting to follow either one of the basic guidelines. He may have been close due to loud equipment. Though, even just putting a bandana over his mouth/nose while talking to us would have made us feel a bit more comfortable. The supply of rocks is good. Though, some of them are a little low. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of people are also working on projects outside during this situation. So, that would explain some of the lower supply. Only one or two rows of flatter rocks seems to be low. The rest were pretty well supplied. The pricing seems pretty reasonable (as far as I know). I am marking it two stars because 3 stars says A-Ok. I don't feel that is the case. The employees should at least have a reasonable face covering when dealing with customers. If only to give those who are trying to not catch the virus a certain amount of comfort. They can blithely not keep a face covering on any other time. It's a matter of respect, and a way to show care toward those customers that may have health issues that may cause them not to survive the virus. The quality of the rocks, supply, and general helpfulness of the staff puts the business's score around 4 stars. If the guy had been wearing a face covering, I would give it 3 stars if it didn't mean saying everything was A-Ok. Because it wasn't. I can't speak to pricing, since we have only visited one business like it. I am considering visiting a few others to compare pricing and what is offered. So, bottom line, should you visit this business? Sure, if you are worried about your health (or the health of your loved ones), at least wear a good mask. They have a good selection, at decent prices (as far as we know). I can't speak to how the purchasing process goes, but the staff generally seem friendly and helpful. I mostly made this review because none were available for this period of time. And, hopefully, the business owner will see this, and at least ask their employees to wear some reasonable face covering when dealing with customers. I am not recommending that people avoid the business, just providing feedback that I hope will improve it. And help it prosper during these trying times. Stay safe and healthy out there! P.S. You need to visit the front window to get a pricing sheet. read more

This company is amazing! Very helpful for my first time there inside the office and out in the yard! I got exactly what I needed for a great price! read more

We received a delivery of their "veggie mix" recommended to us by a contractor. It was supposed to be amazing soil. The soil is nothing special and wasn't well mixed; it came with tons softball-sized blobs of straw completely stuck together in it, a bunch of sand in it, and the guy who delivered it was: 1) late and 2) had no idea what he was doing. Case in point: They use partitioned delivery trucks, so they can take more than one delivery out at a time. He had our soil in the front partitioned area of the truck and a load of 1-inch smooth gravel, uncovered, in the back partitioned area of the truck. When he raised the truck bed, a bunch of the gravel in the farther back area of the truck fell over the partition, and became mixed into the pile of soil he was dumping out of the back, that was ours. We were yelling at him to stop but he just dumped it all out as we stood there and yelled, and watched a bunch of gravel we didn't order get mixed into our expensive soil. He made a joke about it and I wasn't even sure what to say. It wasn't funny and I didn't order soil with 1-inch gravel randomly mixed into it. No offer to take it away and redeliver, nothing, and they actually charged us for his botched delivery. We were so sick of everyone doing a poor job and blaming it on COVID, I only now had a chance to sit and write out a review. So, soil mix is nothing special, my garden looks the same as last year, and I've spent an entire year picking out this gravel out of my multiple raised and flower beds and will continue to do so every time I cultivate because it is a pain in the butt to work around 1-inch gravel I never asked to have mixed into my large load of garden soil mixture. read more

I go here if I have too. It is a shame because they are close to me but they have bad customer service.

ODER OVER the phone at your own RISK! DON'T USE OR GET YOUR ORDER IN WRITING!!!!!!! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! The fist time I used the service we ordered over the phone it was ok. I needed to order more black bark for my project about 1/2 done in my front yard. I asked the guy to look up my last order to make sure we got the same thing. he said they cant. Really ?? Okay so I said I need 3 yards BLACK BARK. He said OK and took my credit card info etc. Plus delivery charge. I. SAID YOU CAN DUMP IT IN THE SAME SPOT STILL SOME BLACK BRK REMNETS AND ROCK. FINE He said they woul deliver MONDAY between 12 and 4. They delivered early (fine) left me a message while I was at work. I just got home and I have LARGE BROWN BARK !! I called IMMEDIATELY got Chris who was nice but not helpful with resolving issue let me know his guy side I said Brown bark. (Not) I sked for a managermn and was put on hold and then got Rochell. I EXPLAINED nicely the above issuei asked how we could rectify the situation. She said i would have to bring the bark back if i wanted a refund. I told her i askedfor Black Bark. SHe said they dont have black bark the have black mulch. Really she just proved my int If i s a customer ordered black bark then why wouldnt your employee say "we dont have blackbark" wouldnt it be common sense to claify the order?? Black bark and black mulch look thre sae tme. What kind of customer service is that No communication. When i pointed out if i ordeered something they dont have then it is the employees job to clarify the order. So now i hae 3 yaerd of brown bark to hump back if i want a refund. Ya Rochelle thats wh i had you deliver.. i will go out and fire up my diump truck. Not cool. Basically her solution was our guy says you ordered brown. Ya you can be sure i wont use these company again. YOU WOULD THINK THE OWNER MIGHT CARE HOPEFULLY HE READS. CLEARLY HE HIRES PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT THE JOB THEY DO. SMALL BUSINESS COUNT ON REFERRALS.REALLY THEY DER SERVE NO STAR RATING. I read more

Just purchased their "signature" soil and I'm surprised they would call this stuff their best. Mostly chopped up wood with animal manure, it's attracting flys like crazy. Not much composted material, so it doesn't look very promising. Guess I'll shop elsewhere for good soil. I'm just glad I didn't buy more as I can't return it, so I'll put it in the part of the yard where it won't matter much. read more

I have purchased sand, bark, rock and decomposed granite. Every time I have been there I have had a very experience when paying and when getting my truck loaded. Some places they charge more if you don't buy by the full yard. Here at this business they don't. You can buy 1/4, 1/2 and it's just a 1/4 or half price. I like that cause sometimes you only need a 1/4 yard etc. I would recommend this business for all your landscaping needs. read more

Nice place for buying organic COmpost and a bag is about $2.5 bucks and you need to pick it up. Ovoid the fetilizer sticks and go with organic compost for you plants and best in the long run. read more

The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. They gave me ideas and provided me with information on the rock and bark I got for my yard (let me know what each was good for). I will definitely be using nimbus for all my future landscaping needs. Thanks Nimbus! read more

Bought some cu. yrds of organic planter mix last year. The material is bad quality, had glass shards, nylon thread pieces, used gloves etc. The mix smelled weird for several days. Read online about these organic mixes and learnt that they could be mixing in city sewage - not sure how much of that is true. Anyways, the product I bought was poor quality and hence my rating. 2 stars because they delivered free and I want these guys to become better in business. Local business in Folsom vicinity, something I like to encourage. read more

Love the bag your own materials! I have been working on updating my front/back yard and I love that I can just go pick up a few bags of whatever I need when I have time. So far have purchased lave rock, cedar bark, top soil, and decomposed granite from them. read more

We had a great experience with Nimbus. The people in the office were courteous, the bark was delivered when promised and the bark was dumped exactly where we wanted it by a real pro. read more

Quick, helpful, reliable service. Best prices we were able to find for sod as we redid our backyard on our own this fall. 100% would recommend them to friends and family! read more

They are the best. When they delivered the wrong bark they made up for it beyond all expectations! Their prices were also the best around. Jacqueline C. read more

I never give bad reviews ! If I have a bad experience I usually just let it go and move on to a different place of business. But this place gave the worst ever experience with my landscaping needs. I ordered bark for our new home and loved the product we ordered but we needed more and added a second delivery of the same product. But they delivered the wrong product and expected us to pay someone to pick it up and deliver it back to there place of business and purchase the correct bark again. I was flabbergasted! They also told me it would be a month before they could have the Gardner that we would have to pay for to come pick it up be able to do so. I will never use this company ever again. read more

Update: I went ahead and gave them one more chance and ordered several yards of their organic dirt for my garden. Thankfully, there was no trash in the dirt, and it looks to be really good quality. The driver was very nice, as usual. I planted my summer garden in my new dirt a couple of weeks ago, and the plants are thriving. read more

We ordered 5 yards decomposed granite on a Saturday, for delivery the next Friday morning. We paid for and were charged for 5 yards that Saturday. Friday morning half an hour before they were supposed to deliver it, we get a call that it is "no longer in stock" and it was explained to us that paying for the material did not reserve the material for us. What? So the material we paid for and scheduled delivery for was apparently sold to someone else. And my husband had already taken a vacation day to accept delivery of material that was never going to arrive. They said they were getting another shipment in that day and could deliver it on Saturday. Saturday, an hour before our rescheduled delivery they call again and again do not have the material. But they told us they might be able to deliver it on Monday instead and would we like to do that. Unbelievable. So they want us to waste another vacation day in order to stay home waiting for material that may or may not show up for the third time. Needless to say we cancelled. Just as icing on this awful experience, the manager never called on Monday as we requested so we could explain what had occurred. I always believe in giving a business a chance to make things right, but they were so unprofessional through the entire transaction that they didn't give me an opportunity to discuss the problems with them instead of airing my grievance on yelp. Ultimately, we ordered the decomposed granite from another company (Cascade Rock Inc). It was delivered on time and ended up being cheaper as well. read more

They do not stand by the products they sell and lack product control and reliability: I purchased 20 yds of their organic planters mix. After receiving my delivery I proceeded to check it's pH as a precaution;however, the ph registered 8.6. I check all components that they mix onsite to make their organic planters mix and their mushroom compost and topsoil were registering a ph of 8.1 and 8.6, respectively. As an additional test I also tested their planters mix (w/o mushroom compost) and obtained a value of 7.1-spot on! When I brought this issur to their attention they first tried to denied that a ph of 8.6 was harmful then stated that 'everyone rants and raves about it'. Anyone who grows veggies to flowers knows that the overwhelming majority of plants will not thrive nor survive such a high ph. I attempted to work with them, allowing the help to update the owner, and rather then make it right their fix was to offer me more mushroom compost. I asked for a better, one-time, deal on worm casting as they are around ph 7 and act as, among many things, a ph buffer. I was told it was too much and was diverted back to more mushroom compost. Why would I want more mushroom compost that you're vendor added too much dolomite lime?! Either way, if you want product reliability stay away from this yard-should've stayed with sgl in sac. read more

Horrible customer services if you have an issue they will be no help and if you get the wrong order it's on you they will not fix it do not buy from here go somewhere else they can not even look up past orders you have ordered so u can get the same thing and Rachel the manager is rude and there mulch has trash all in it!!!!! Plastic everywhere read more

We bought several loads of Bark and Rock here. They are incapable of showing up on time(or at all). We waited for one delivery for 4 hours(between 8 and 12). When they no-showed we called only to be told the material HAD NOT EVEN ARRIVED AT THEIR YARD. Oh yeah, "meant to call you". Rescheduled delivery was an hour late too. Rancho Cordova to El Dorado Hills is not a moon shot. Basic good business: do what you're supposed to do; if you can't, CALL and let the customer know. There are better choices for landscape material; we won't be using Nimbus again. read more

On time and extremely friendly staff. Would for sure recommend to a friend. The delivery guy was awesome and completely worked with me to try to find a place to dump all of the gravel. 5 star read more

I ordered 5 yards of mini bark by phone on Friday; it was professionally delivered at the beginning of the agreed delivery window. Price was fair (free delivery to Folsom with 5 yards). What more could you ask for? 5 stars. read more

Carlos was the sweetest thing since twinkies. Rachelle was great and very helpful. Great service and great prices. Chris is really nice and helpful. read more

What a great experience shopping at Nimbus Landscape Materials. They have great quality materials and very helpful, knowledgeable employees. Being a "Do it yourself" kind of guy, they had everything I needed to re-landscape my yards including, moss rock boulders, salt & pepper rock, plant mix, black bark, and sod. We are very happy with the experience and result. Dave E. read more
