Very friendly and helpful staff. We appreciated all your help. We will go back for all our landscape and garden projects.

Everything.. Definitely will not return.. Guy at desk does not know anything.. Prices are too high and they are very uneducated. Called first put on hold so I stopped by and got nowhere.. what a joke read more

Jessica in the front desk is great. She help me with getting the right material for my project. She is amazing and polite. Way to go Jessica. read more

got a good price from them and everything was on time. sand and base rock were delivered to my driveway. highly recommend!

Get your car or truck weighed before you collect anything. I waited a bit and no one came out so I mistakenly collected and then had to haul rocks out one by one for hand weighing. Nice selection and desk staff. read more

I placed n order for rocks last week then visited this location and found that the rock on the website was not what I wanted. So, I visited the rockery on Monday and we changed my order to Sonoma Pink 3/8". We schemed my delivery for today, Friday, between 12-4:00. At 2:30 I called to confirm delivery because my landscaper was waiting for the delivery. I was told they had a miscommunication between their office and yard and they sold my rock to someone else. REALLY?? The mine is now closed so I can't have the rock I wanted. Very bad customer service! I don't recommend them. read more

I bought material here once. Prices are best I've seen for self serve u-sack and they have shovels and funnels to help you. I did feel their funnels were harder to use than some at other places but their prices and location make up for it read more

First rockery I have ever been to, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but will talk about my first impressions here. + enough variety where we got our landscaping needs fulfilled + front desk guy was really helpful with giving insight into how many tons of rocks we would need - place is a little run down - always felt like I would be mowed over with their workers in the vehicles they used to grab rocks...SLOW DOWN GUYS!! -- we asked for delivery and the rocks were literally dumped at the front with half spilling into the street (luckily we don't live on a main road or else this would have been really bad). We'll be spending this evening shoveling rocks off the street and into our front lawn area where we asked the guy to drop them off. He literally dumped the rocks and drove off....forget checking in if everything was good to go. If I ever had to get more rocks, I would probably check out another place. read more

LOVE this store! First time visiting the store today. Found it on Yelp, reviews were good, stopped in for some rocks and was NOT disappointed! Customer service was excellent! Had FUN digging up my rocks myself/filling 3 potato saks! $5/sak, sounded like a bargain to me! I was able to finish my little landscape project today in the front of the house! I definitely recommend this place! read more

Great selection of rock, stone & pavers. Quick transaction. The loader had my truck filled in a few minutes and it turns out that the clerk sold me the exact amount to cover my 150 square ft side yard. She really knows her stuff. That company ROCKS! read more

Thank a is my favorite place to get landscaping soil, compost, wood chips and rocks. Mostly because it is so close to where I live. I love the different types of flagstones the provide. Some of the natural designs and colors that occur on the rocks look like impressionist paintings. It is truly amazing to consider the colors took thousands of years to create on mother nature's palette. The staff are very helpful and will help explain how you can quickly gather and load your purchase. I think it is a pretty fair price to pay for the items, though you can potentially get similar items cheaper if you are willing to drive to a business farther away. read more

This review involves my experience which some might find spooky. But dear yelper read on (fair warning: not for the faint of heart --you can skip this and read the next review) So It was a Saturday when after finishing all my morning chores I decided to go to this place and get some bags of soil for my succulents. I am told they have sell it cheaper but the catch is u have to shovel your own soil. I found the idea as an adventure and so I drove here. The place is easy to find and for a 1st timer, the shop is the only building u see after passing the gate. There as u enter are merchandise and a wall with shovels. You go to the counter and tell the guy it's your first time and he will tell u which soil u would need the instructions on where to go and what to do. You tell them how many bags u want (I just needed three) and so on... I was told which soil I would need and then a direction on where to find my type of soil. I grabbed my bags, a shovel and drove to the place. There are mounds of every type of rocks, soils and gardening chips or mulch in the place. I found my area and parked about 20 paces from the mound. I was the only one there and started shoveling. I filled my bag and decide to put it in the trunk of my car. I put my hand On the door handle it felt wet and When I looked it was all bloodied up. I was shocked for a second and thought that I probably cut myself off from carrying the bag so I check the bag and there was no blood on it. I checked my fingers for a cut and even poured alcohol on my hand just to check if I hurt myself but there was nothing. I checked the shovel, nothing and then the doorhandle and there was no residue of blood in there which was totally weird. I was the only one in the area and was totally spooked so I decided to drive right next to the mound and finished up as fast as I can checking if there was someone else there. After I filled all my three bags I went to the office to pay and told the person from the counter of what happened and asked him if this weird stuff ever happened before. He said things happen. I kid u not. It is soooo weird. Soil is cheaper coz of the labor. Come for the experience? -- you decide. So Why did I not just leave? I figured it was too early to be scared --- i needed coffee. read more

Found this place online as we were looking to purchase some flagstone. The staff here is very friendly and helpful. Get your car weighed before loading up. Stay on the scale until you're told over a loud speaker that they have your weight. Then go and pick out your goods. When done, drive back onto the scale to get your "heavy" weight. Once you're told they have your "heavy" weight, go park your car and go into the office to pay. You get charged by the materials you picked out by weight. Not sure what you need to do if you're there for different materials since we only got one type of flagstone. They will help you load your stuff if you need help. The only problem we had was that we couldn't tell what type of flagstone we got and the price per pound. Not everything is marked. Price seemed very reasonable though. It was fun to pick out our own flagstone and get some exercise in. Highly recommend this place! read more

Good selection and helpful staff. I've been there several times for both bagging rocks myself and ordering for delivery. My trick is to bring a water container to pour over the rocks to bring out the color, especially for boulders like Jasper but also smaller pebbles like pami or pixie. It gets dusty there, like all rock yards. Another suggestion if using the scale with your vehicle, call the main number with your phone if they don't notice you. Don't honk. That's just rude. They take your cars weight, then load up some boulders and go back to the scale for the new reading. read more

They're great. Great supply in and out quick. Right off the freeway. Good prices and selection.

Didn't have what I picked out from their limited selection. Didn't offer to order it. Didn't seem to care.

Good selection, good service. Had $2k of rocks delivered to my driveway for a project and found them super easy to work with. If you're buying more than a cubic yard though beware you won't be able to drop it curbside without blocking traffic though!!! read more

Busy location... but not too busy to stay open for a quick minute for a rock sample. I appreciate the customer service and will place a 20 ton order this week! read more

Awesome staff!! We got out sod and flagstone there. They are very helpful and informative. read more

BEWARE : highly NOT recommended Worst customer service and never own to fix their problem. Fake promises on delivery and don't own their mistake read more

While everyone is giving them 1 to 3 stars, I'm giving them place 5 stars. Reason why I decided to give this place a try even though some reviews were scary was because they are closer to me than Payless Nursery. First, I didn't expect any customer service from this place. I mean come on, it's just a place that sells rocks right? I was wrong. The ladies in the front counter were friendly. They greeted me and asked what I wanted. I told them what I wanted and paid. End of that. Second, after paying for the rocks the ladies dispatched the bulldozer drivers outside. Yes, I waited maybe about 5 minutes before a bulldozer came out; but there were also other customers there to get their rocks loaded. I made 3 trips this past Saturday and each trip I had a different guy/driver that loaded my truck with rocks. They were all very cool. Greeted me and one of them even apologized for making me wait a few minutes. But the 3 drivers that did help me were friendly. Did a small chit chat with them. I wanted to load 1 cu yd of rocks and they highly recommended I do 1/2 a cu yd at a time since I had a smaller Toyota truck. Now what type of service is that? They actually cared about my truck! That's awesome! Rather than load 1 full yard they put 1/2 in. Great guys, great company, and I will for sure to come back again and get more rocks for my landscape! read more

Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff....the yard is filled with a vast variety of stones and other landscaping materials at reasonable prices. The best selection of rocks of various sizes we could find in the Bay Area. Self-service for soil and other landscaping materials. Never disappoint for us whenever we visit. Such a gem! read more

Come here if you are a healthy construction worker or you have at least two people. Instead of having a worker scoop the rocks into the bag for you they just provided you large shovels. They didn't even want to help you load the heavy bags into the trunk for me. Terrible experience. I think there will be someone pass out or break they back while doing all the heavy work themselves at their worksite and the shop will have to responsible for all the injuries. If you don't have enough workers then please don't run the business. read more

I called around to get 12 tons of base rock and 2 yards if sand for my Paver project. U-Save came in at almost $60 less them the competitors. They gave me a time frame of 4 hours and showed up well within the time frame. The driver was super cool and put my 2 loads where I asked him to. Over a great experience, I highly recommend them. read more

I have been going for there for years. The prices are reasonable, the selection is quite large, and the staff is knowledgeable. Recent purchase include 3 bins of mixed concrete and 5 tons of drain rock. read more

Very good team to work with! They are easy to work with! You go inside and tell them what you need. They help you quickly get a quote and set up a time to bring you the rocks. I've used them more than once and they have been very good! They are much much cheaper than Home Depot for rocks too! Their local business deserves some good recognition! People need to come see for themselves . I also like how they have displays of rock for you to check out inside the store or you can go out side to their field that's right outside and walk around to see the loads of rocks if your a big visual person and need to go walk on the rocks and see big quantities read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I decided to do a rock painting party for my daughter's 12 birthday party. Craft store are way too expensive and they don't carry large enough rocks. I called the rockery and the service was outstanding. DeAnna is extremely courteous, friendly and professional. She knew exactly what I needed and made sure that I got enough rocks for the party. I have an upcoming yard remodeling project coming up and I will be certain to go to U Save Rockey for all of my rock needs. Thanks again DeAnna! read more

Very helpful in person or on the phone. Best prices that I found for rock products & sod. Bought yard supplies here for the second time. Would recommend to friends. read more

This past year we decided to build a garden railroad in our back yard (who does not like plants and trains). As we were doing most of the work ourselves I was not sure exactly how much dirt, gravel, rock, and flagstone I would need. I started off ordering a yard each of dirt and gold path fines. The front office staff was very helpful and the driver delivered and deposited the load exactly where I wanted it to make it easier for me to move to the back yard. As it turns out I was not a good judge of how much material I would need and my plans changed as I went, so I probably ended up making 30 or more trips to U save rockery over the course of many months as we built out the foundation, scale mountains, and pathways loading our car with bags of dirt, brick, rock,.... The staff working out in the u-save yard were always very helpful in helping to move pallets of rock, or at times helping me carry stone back to the car. The front staff was always very friendly. The prices were better than anything I could find at a big box store and we had much better selection. Thanks for your help! read more

I enjoy the ability to pick out my own rocks. That way I know I get exactly what I want. It doesn't matter whether I was picking out the large river rocks or the small River rocks. When I needed larger items they were always quick to load it into my truck and very friendly. Now that I've done half of my yard I know I will definitely be back there many times to get the rest of my supplies. read more

It took me 3 visits to complete my project (my fault, not theirs) so this is based on all 3 visits. First visit was the worst. The first woman, whom I assume was new was not very helpful. I walked in and was looking at the pricing display on their wall confused - I know they get a lot of contractors, so maybe she thought I knew what I was doing - after not getting any help from her, I finally asked. She wasn't very helpful. Basically told me to go outside and find the rocks I wanted. Luckily a second, clearly more experienced, woman stepped in and explained the process. Next two visits I spoke with the second lady, so they were great. She was very friendly. Good prices. Good selection - I think. Customer service was ok. It's a pain having to shovel the rock piles into bags and load them yourself (they use a tractor for huge loads, but that's much bigger than the small project I was working on). read more

They sell both in bulk and in small amount. We bought small amount for gardening. First, we got the empty bag from the office and then fill the bag with the rock by ourselves (self-service) It is best to bring gloves and wear shoes that can get dusty. You can borrow a shovel from the front office. Price is reasonable, a lot cheaper than big box stores. read more

So Easy there! All indoor people wearing masks, guys in the yard are friendly, I'm very pleased with U-Save.

Very friendly, placed an order on sat and was delivered on Tuesday, Great fast service, prices are good, and delivery fee is only $74 for up to 10 tons!! read more

Ordered 5 cubic yards of mulch delivered to our driveway. Very happy with the mulch as well as the delivery service. They ensured the mulch was dumped on top of the tarp we had placed on the driveway. Very happy. read more

The crew at U-Save Rockery on Gish Rd is very knowledgeable and helpful. I also changed my order upon returning to pickup rocks and they had no problem with it + were interested in helping me save $$ where possible. read more

We recently did some improvements to our patio area by removing most of the sod and replacing it with decorative pea gravel and some sod. My brother did most of the dirt removal (needed 4 inches of dirt removed from a 12 x 12 site) to accommodate the pea gravel. We next applied the weed arrestor screen to the dirt and waited for the gravel to arrive. In the meantime, we prepared the other area for new sod and we installed the sod in a 5 x 12 area (90% tall fescue, 10% bluegrass). Then we waited for the gravel to be delivered. As soon as it was delivered, we carried 2 tons of gravel by bucket to the patio area (with 3 people it took 1 hour). It was an adventure, but well worth it!!!!! The U-Save Rockery staff provided excellent assistance for this project. In particular, Monica gave perfect recommendations on materials and how much to order -she is an invaluable resource for that business. read more

Service is excellent, but the product I bought i.e. veggie soil, is trash. They should have paid me to haul these away, not me pay them. Should have read the comments before of the person who bought the same soil and ended up having to recreate his/her garden (because of virus, etc) The 'veggie soil' has some mix of concrete, sand, gunk! and little red pebbles/rocks, not sure how or why. Now, when I water my gardens containing this soil, it's as if I'm pouring water on wet concrete. I'm hoping to reintroduce other real soils into them to dilute this veggie mix out of the system. So, be warned, do not buy veggie mix from this place - it'll destroy your gardens. *Service on the other hand, is excellent! Can't complain about that. If only they knew about their soil, which I called them about to warn them about. read more
