I am beyond disappointed with Purdy Topsoil & Gravel; They…read morecame highly recommended and so I placed a call and explained I needed good soil for my raised beds vegetable gardens, what do you have/recommend? I was told that with tax, a yard of their very good garden soil would be approximately $29. Ok, I will be in next week. After arriving and talking with staff, the clerk said to me that this is for flower beds, correct? No, it is for food for my family fir vegetables. She then told me that the soil I was going to purchase would not support food growth... I was then told: "We have our compost blend and we also mix our compost with steer manure compost and fish compost and it is twice the price." I then decided to buy two yards. The next morning I was surprised to find that my son had filled my garden beds for me, but there is all kinds if 'stuff' in the dirt! I easily gathered a 1/2 baggie of pieces of plastic in clear, white, blue, black, red, another blue,... along with pieces of painted metal i. Blue, red, black, green, dark blue, bright blue, white, etc... -along with treated 'Beauty Bark'... I took the baggie half filled with the debris and my receipt... The Manager was not in and would call- and THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME BACK MY RECEIPT! They also kept the baggie, which I wanted them to see as unfortunately I can easily gather more. I was then informed by the two women working behind the counter that they get their compost from the Pierce County Dump! Excuse Me?! When an employee informs me that WE make OUR with premium compost, OUR steer manure compost, and OUR fish compost; I don not get the impression that you receive it from the Pierce County Landfill!!?? I specifically asked and was given an answer of: WE make OUR with OUR WE MAKE... Had I been properly informed of the compost origins, I would absolutely NOT have purchased ANY product originating from ANY Landfill project. Today marks two weeks since I drove there again, and asked to speak to the Manager. I called yet again today, Monday June 10, 2024 and wouldn't ya know, the manager just stepped out and will call me back. At this point, I can only recommend NEVER DOING BUSINESS WITH PURDY TOPSOIL GRAVEL! Sincerely, Kimberly Kelly Lehman

As soon as I paid and went outside she was already driving with second bucket load, I could see that the bucket was half empty. After she dumped it I asked her how big the bucket is and she said one yard, I said why wasn't it full? She quickly went inside. It's not just cheating, it's stealing. I have no idea how big the first bucket was. Checked it at home with the volume calculator and it was just above one yard. Rip off.

We wanted it to match and ordered 8 yards and hired the same people to spread it and both the neighbor and the crew hired to spread it said it was no where near what the neighbor received.

We purchased a soil testing kit which is yet to be determined on what our results are but once we get a chance we will utilize it and see what needs to be done.

They have some very nice windchimes in which we want to get sometime... ones with a deep resonating sound and they do have ones here that look to be of good quality! I don't know if they still do it and I am thinking if memory serves you can chicks here in the Spring. Super cute little chickens!

It was 5:40 pm and they close at 6:00 pm. We know nothing about plants. The employee, Katie, jumped right in to help when we asked her.

That's impressive and we couldn't have done it without her! This place is clean, friendly and has knowledgeable staff. You can't go wrong! Thank you Katie!

So when Steve and I were discussing where he wanted to get flowers I suggested this place and we proceeded to go there. It's a great Nursery with so many kinds of flowers and trees to look at and see what would work best for your home. In the end we purchased some flowers and they look so good in the backyard! A much needed splash of color to have back there which we needed. We will look into the trees at a later time for sure as we have been wanting a Japanese Maple tree and they had the kind that we liked. All in all a nice visit and I am embarrassed that it has took this long to pay a visit but better late than never.
