I had heard Soilutions was the place to go for good compost and soil in Albuquerque and was excited to support a local business instead of picking up a bunch of bags from a big box hardware store to fill some new raised beds. But I wish we had done something else. We picked up a truckload each of the enriched topsoil, and the premium garden soil from the nearest just sprinklers. Both soils ended up being hydrophobic and despite our best efforts parts of the beds still wont hold water. On top of that there is unfinished compost in the soil and two of the beds have sprouted a bunch of mystery squash, and we're having to amend the soil as none of our plants are doing well in the "ready to plant" soil, while our beds from last year are doing fine.
Update:
Despite their claims, the compost was unfinished and contained large pieces of squash, and the seeds that we missed have populated our beds.
The "ready for direct planting" and "premium" soil we bought was dried out and hydrophobic before we even put it in our beds. We went direct from just sprinklers to the raised beds, and planted our starts that day.
Maybe it is how just sprinklers stores the soil (there wasn't a tarp over it, which in our "extremely arid" environment seems like a mistake), or how Soilutions produces it, or a combination of the two.
Bottom line, even though it is labeled "ready for direct planting" you should budget for amendments, expect some recruits, and plan to figure out how to get hydrophobic soil to take up water again (even with a couple of months of regular watering it isn't an easy task to dissolve that waxy coating that has developed).

We have used Soilutions for years and it is the best. They have various soil/compost mixes and delivery for larger loads ( which we used. You can also buy it in bags. They also have a variety of mulches.

I ordered the premium soil for delivery, and should have went to check product out first. 4 yards of soil infested with fungus gnats. Pretty disappointing after spending all that money for a premium garden soil.

I had several yards of their best soil delivered. I planted flowers and they stayed an inch tall for several months and many just died. I think some of the compost they used had herbicide on it. I had to dig out all their toxic soil. Now I need to start all over, mixing my own soil this time.

I ordered the garden soil to top off my garden boxes, and plant grass seed. The process of picking up and ordering was easy and straightforward. Unfortunately, there seems to be one specific type of small weed that is growing all over where I used the soil. I can't walk on the new seed, so I'm not sure how bad it is in the middle of my grass. However, I have been regularly pulling a small weed from all around the edges that clearly came with the dirt. Overall, a great process, just unfortunate about the weeds.

So much easier and better quality than hauling plastic mulch bags home. Holds up well. I’ve ordered a lot in the past and I’ll be ordering a lot more in the future. Really helps with weed control in the summer.

Love Soilutions!
This is my second delivery order from Soilutions, just enough for another small bed and to top off my existing raised beds. Their soil is wonderful, the people on the phone are so sweet, enthusiastic and helpful, and they are doing a great thing for the city and the planet. We’re so lucky to have them!

The forest floor mulch looks great, the calculator on the website was super helpful and accurate in finding how much we needed, it was delivered a day early (the next day after I ordered it), and they had discounts ordering it online so it was really cost effective.

Last year was my first year flower farming… I used This compost everywhere in my yard, have used the enriched planting mix as well! I normally have clay soil in my yard , so this stuff has really done a miracle- amending my soil! (along with the Good Lord of course)- my cut flowers were absolutely stunning is what people told me all summer long! People would ask me at every event how I was managing to produce such beautiful flowers in the New Mexico Heat!
