“I love this place.

I've been ordering mulch and soil from the yard for years now. The prices are always really good, and the extra charges for stuff like delivery are reasonable. Especially if you're ordering at least a few yards of something.

I've ordered both online and by phone and the process is always easy either way. You usually don't have to make an order more than a day in advance. I've even called up first thing in the morning and gotten deliveries later that day once or twice.

Every driver I've had is excellent. The Yard will call you when they are loading the dump truck so you can put a tarp down or do whatever else you want to do to get ready for your delivery. The truck shows up 30-60 minutes later. I'll tell you, these truck drivers are something else, watching them work is a treat. Whether it's one yard or ten, they know how to dump it out of the truck bed exactly where you want it and nowhere else.

Also, I really like using undyed mulch becuase it's got a natural look, and I've only ever found it at The Yard. Not Home Depot or Lowes.

I think you can go to their address and buy stuff and put it in your own vehicle, but I can't speak to that because I've never done that. I'm not sure I ever would, either. The delivery is just too convenient.

Don't waste your money or time buying bags of mulch at Home Depot and making all those trips back and forth to your house. If you need at least one or two yards to mulch your beds, just call up The Yard and get a delivery. The last few years my neighbors and I have picked a weekend to do all our mulch spreading and we get one big order of 6 or 7 yards of mulch, get it dumped in one of our driveways, and split the delivery cost.

EDIT: Actually, one more thing. I'll show you the math. Right now, in 2024, The Yard is charging $33 per cubic yard for brown or black dyed mulch. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet. Bags of Vigoro black or brown mulch at home depot are 2 cubic feet. You'd need 13.5 bags to get a yard. Each bag costs $3.33. So if you go to Home Depot and buy 13.5 bags you'd spend $45 total.

So, if you needed two yards of mulch, you could go to Home Depot and spend $90 to haul 27 bags into your car and bring them home, assuming they'd fit, or, you could spend $66 + delivery, which probably works out to about $90, and get better mulch delivered to you.”

“Just had another great experience at Chatham Lawnmowers with my purchase of a Scag 48" Liberty-Z. As usual Scott and his staff went out of their way to make sure I was taking advantage of all the offers available to me from Scag. The machine was delivered to my house on time as promised. It is this kind of service that has me going back there year after year. Thank you again team.”

“Beautifully carved pumpkins. A very talented team. However, I felt the experience was a bit short for the price. I drove an hour round trip and it took about 15 minutes or less to drive through and thats only because the car in front of us kept stopping (or else it would have been quicker) If adding more pumpkins, in order to make it a longer event, was too time/financially consuming then there could have been other Halloween decorations to be fillers. Still very scenic and creative.”

“I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to one of my favorite new local businesses.. I tracked down Cardinal garden center after seeing a delivery of beautiful laurel plants arrive at my neighbor’s house while I was out on a walk. I immediately knew I wanted to buy my plants at Cardinal because they were of such obvious high quality. Not only do they have lovely plants, but the staff is helpful, knowledgeable and just basically awesome. I’m new to the northeast so they spent plenty of time discussing my new yard’s many landscaping needs and walking me through their inventory. They also have an excellent selection of pots—much better than the local big box stores. On my first visit they helped me choose two large planters for a pair of enormous Boston ferns along with drainage rocks and top-notch potting soil. I also purchased a gorgeous pair of mums for my front porch and a set of boxwoods to later replace the mums. On a recent visit, I found the most beautiful carving pumpkins and a couple of cute decorative ones. Have you watched the movie “”You’ve Got Mail.” A visit to Cardinal is like stopping by “”The Shop Around the Corner.” You receive plenty of personalized service from a knowledgeable staff.I stopped by Cardinal this morning and discovered a wonderful selection of Frazier and Balsam Firs. They were very fresh and full. I also picked up a beautiful wreath.”

“First time doing business with this establishment. Ever since the Pandemic I have been very proactive with planning and budgeting home projects. I am in the market for materials and supplies for a retaining wall and also an mini outdoorBBQ Station and kitchen with sink. Jersey Landscape and Gardens only sells the top rated brand of papers in my opinion Cambridge with Armortec. Their prices are fair and reasonable , that I stayed within my forecasted budget. The delivery charge is more than competitive. The staff is very friendly and and go the extra mile to work with your needs. I will definitely be doing business with Jersey Landscape and Gardens in the future ????☺?”

I would use this company again to deliver to my family and friends in America.”

“5 stars for Donna B. in the garden department. She was probably the 5th employee that I spoke with and the only one who was willing to help me locate an item at this South Plainfield store. I was walking inside the store, back and forth from one end to the other, trying to find this item, being shown 20 in stock from the HD app but with no aisle and bin #. Donna B. was able to show me where the similar items would be, and bingo, I was able to find it. The item was all the way on the top shelf. I took a picture to zoom in so that I can confirm the item #. Then Donna B. went extra miles to get a ladder and pulled the item for me. You can forget about the first 4 employees, one of them telling me to order online but it says in stock at the store; he just didn't wanna be bothered. Home Depot should do their best to keep employees like Donna B. I am not related to Donna B. in any possible way; I go to Home Depot for DIY projects.”
